Remember SLIDERS?


Gonna give this series a chance! I don't have the patience for tv shows that get dragged out with no conclusion, and then possibly getting cancelled. Is Timeless like that? Or is it more along the lines of Sliders? Where each episode has it's little conclusion but the overall plot is to try and get home. I hope it's like that.

I loved Sliders!!!

Wow, I completely forgot about Sliders. All I vaguely remember is that I loved it and then they started doing something (things?) toward the end I didn't care for. And of course they had an obligatory "if the nazis won" or maybe it was "if the USSR won" episode. Don't watch Timeless if it's only because you want to relive another show. That's a good recipe for disappointment in any medium. Only watch if the premise is of genuine interest to you, and you can tell it is targeted to someone of your interests (and/or you have very broad interests).

Sliders was great in the beginning but then started to "slide" downhill when the producers started telling the writers what to do. They followed a theme of what's a hit now and did episodes imitating movies and such that were current thinking audiences would watch because of that. I remember an Anaconda episode and other such crap. And don't get me started on the Cro-Mags who ate eyeballs. I hope in the attempt to save Timeless they don't let the show be written by idiots to save money. And though I see today we need a bit of PC, it didn't exist in the past. Stop making those from the past PC and let the team remember they need to see why the past is wrong in this but don't try to change it. Not realistic at all. I liked when Rufus would freak in the past and the others tried to protect him. It was real. It made you think about the bad things of the past. Now he walks around more openly. It deters from the travesties of the past. Just my opinion

Sliders was only awesome in season 1 and I think beginning of season 2. Then it went to crap.
