    	Has anyone seen this yet?
    
    	A group of people have this device which allows them to jump
    	between "parallel universes", and their main objective is to
    	get back to the "earth" they were once a part of?
    
    	The music is done by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo.

353.2last night'sSTRWRS::KOCH_PIt never hurts to ask...Fri Mar 31 1995 13:2241
    you mean last nights? Here is a quick run down.
    
    First scene: They are transported to a earth where everyone has struck
    oil and they are all rich. They only have 20 minutes here. When they
    shift again, they are in a earth where everyone seems to have a
    disease. Wade is saved from being hit by a car by a young man, who she
    kisses to thank him. He says "How could you? I saved your life!"
    Everyone is puzzeled by this.
    
    Next scene: They find a place to eat, and as they enter they see a man
    who is coughing profusly and everyoneis eyeing him worriedly. They are
    served some vacuum-packed hamburgers, and Rembrant takes a bite and
    rushes to the bathroom, where he sees wanted posters for the Quinn from
    that earth, who was supposedly a transmitter of a lethal disease called
    the Q. He leaves the bathroom, and tells the others. Then people
    dressed in a outbreak kind of uniform rush in and take the coughing man
    away. Then the group spilts up, and Rembrant takes Wade, who isn't
    feeling well to a motel, and quinn and the other guy (I forget his name
    go to find some asprin for her. A man at the pharmacy spots quinn and
    calls the CHC, who comes and takes him away. Thenthe other guy oes back
    to the motel, where he tries to bring down Wade's fever, o    to find a
    few scenes later that she is gone. They find her in a kind of refuge
    for all people who have the Q. They find the other Quinn there. They
    tell them about their predicament (the sliding) and quinn execpts it.
    Then the other guy asks Quinn if there are antibiotics to cure the Q.
    He has no idea what antibiotics are.
    
    Then we switch to some kind of lab where they are working on the real
    Quinn. The computers keep saying that he has no trace of the Q, so the
    doctors decide to check it out. They find him healthy, and ask him how
    he got that way. He keeps telling them " I am not your quinn" but they
    don't believe him. Then the young lady doctor says she'll try and help
    him escape.
    
    The Other Guy made penicillin from mold, and he took it. He fell
    asleep. Then Rembrant went to get Quinn, and they went back to the
    refuge. Then they are about to slide again, and you see them all
    healthy, except for wade who seems to be getting better
    
    There's a quick synopsis, left out some of the smaller stuff.

    re. .1/.2
    
    
    	The other guy was the professor "Rhy-Davis". And the
    	lady doctor is killed helping Quinn escape. Turns out
    	she went to med school with the Quinn is this universe
    	and was his lover. Also the doctor in charge at CHC 
    	actually infected Quinn "Patient Zero" during a research
    	project and started the Q plague. then he blamed it on Quinn.
    	The reason pencillin was never discovered was it comes from
    	mold which is dirty and this universe is a Felix Unger type
    	of society. Finally the CHC breaks into the refuge as Quinn
    	and company arte about to slide. The head CHC doc tries to 
    	arrest Quinn "Patient Zero" but he tells them about penicillin
    	and let the doc know the plague will be cured and he is finished.
    	   They slide into the next universe where Wade recovers after
    	a indeterminate amount of time, her and Quinn are in a hut.
    	Professor walks in with a spear and ask if she is okay then
    	he takes Quinn outside and asks if he has told her about the 
    	cannibals yet! Drums stop and the three guys wiscrack about
    	who is first..young and tender vs age before beauty....
    	Cryin Man Rembrandt claims to be a "Chicken McNugget" to
    	the professor's "Quarter Pounder"...End of episode..

353.11Took off the wrong showTNPUBS::NAZZAROWell, 37-1 ain't so bad!Wed Feb 28 1996 14:594
    Unfortunately, as a replacement for "Strnage Luck", IMO a far superior
    show to the often simplistic Sliders.

    I saw it, and I like the show, but I have only caught a few of them.
    
    Q:  Will the 2 new people be w/ them from now on?  From next weeks
    episode it didn't look they were there anymore.
    
    I had another Q but I forgot it.

    	Spoiler question in reference to -1:
    
    
    
    	Were they in the van?  I didn't notice.
    
353.16WMOIS::LYONS_SThu Mar 14 1996 15:4911
    
    
    Answer to question in -1
    
    
    
    The two were in the van when they went through the "tunnel".  Or I
    should say, that they did not "show" the two get out of the van before
    entering the "Tunnel"
    
    
353.17Quinn?STOWOA::JACOBSON_AMon Mar 18 1996 15:321
    What is the name of the actor that plays Quinn?
353.18BUSY::SLABOUNTYDon't like my p_n? 1-800-328-7448Mon Mar 18 1996 15:343
    
    	Jerry O'Connell.
    
353.19TROOA::BUTKOVICHwhatever it takesMon Mar 18 1996 16:103
    I haven't seen "Sliders" yet, but isn't Jerry O'Connell one of the
    kid actors from "Stand By Me".  If so, I'll have a look-see just out of
    curiousity.
353.20BUSY::SLABOUNTYDon't like my p_n? 1-800-328-7448Mon Mar 18 1996 16:355
    
    	If I can get Netscape to do something besides look at me funny
    	and tell me that the site is inaccessible, I'll copy over his
    	filmography.
