Bishop73

Character mistake: Doctor Bancroft mispronounces "Nobel" when reading the headlines to Michael. She pronounces as "noble." It's a famous award, especially in the field of science and someone as smart as she is suppose up be would know how to say the name.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the flashback in Greece, the pieces on and around the chessboard change. When we first see the board, most of the white pieces are on the back row, and then we see 2 pawns removed. In the next shot, when the king is knocked over, some of the white pieces on the back row have moved and there're several pieces that have been removed.

The Alternateville Horror - S4-E8

Stupidity: Colin tells the group he saw a ghost (a non-corporal shade) who walked through the door. They laugh at him and blame it on what he was watching on TV or too much sliding. Given everything the group has seen, vampires, a dragon, etc, they should have least checked it out. Quinn himself was once on the astral plane and nobody could see him except one girl who thought she was seeing a ghost, and he could walk through solid objects.

Lipschitz Live! - S4-E13

Trivia: When the real Colin and Roxanne are leaving the hotel and saying they're going to buy the station, Colin adds "I think we'll buy that channel that shows nothing but science fiction programming." This is a reference to the Sci-Fi Channel. Fox cancelled the series after Season 3, but the Sci-Fi Channel picked up the series for Season 4 and 5.

Is This Not Real Magic? - S1-E4

Trivia: This episode features Rhys Coiro (as Donny Blaze). Near the beginning of the episode, Wong is starting to watch "The Sopranos" and Madisynn tells him it's the episode they kill Adriana. Adriana was played by Drea de Matteo. Coiro and de Matteo both appeared on the series "A Million Little Things" as husband and wife (Mitch and Barbara Nelson).

Luck Of The Draw - S1-E10

Trivia: In this episode, it is said Joycelyn Elders is president. In real life, she was Surgeon General of the US from 1993-1994. She was a big proponent of sex education and practising safe sex. The main focus on this episode was population control, and using contraceptives is a good way to help that. In the episode, she was at the dedication of the re-opening of the "Thomas Malthus Center for Sexual Ethics and Education."

Revelations - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: When the group is fleeing from the cops, there's a shot of the road as they're turning. The camera used has a crack, or piece of debris, on it at the top to the left. The black line doesn't move as the camera pans across the road.

Lipschitz Live! - S4-E13

Character mistake: Maggie and Rembrandt go into Alt-Colin's room thinking it's their Colin. But then begin to question when he had time to buy a suitcase, get his stuff monogrammed, and where he would get the money for it. When they find Alt-Colin, he has expensive jewelry on and is acting weird, saying "homie" and hitting on Maggie. And yet they still act like this is their Colin and don't think about it being his double, despite the fact that they constantly talk about and met their doubles.

Genesis - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Kromagg leader goes to eat an eyeball, he stabs his fork into a green eye. In the next shot when he lifts it up, the eye is now blue.

Slither - S3-E22

Stupidity: Throughout the series, people in the group always say they need to stick together and only separate if absolutely necessary. Here, Quinn and Rembrandt take a vacation pretty far away from Wade and Maggie (they had to fly to their destination). And they do so knowing they have no way to directly communicate with the others (i.e. cell phones) in case something goes wrong, which it does. They get bumped from their flight, but it might have been easier to get Wade and Maggie to fly to them.

Season 3 generally

Trivia: In Inkognito, Alaska (where the Parkers have fled to), an alpaca has been mayor for 15 years. This seems to be a reference to a real life situation where in Talkeetna, Alaska a cat named Stubbs was mayor. In real life, Talkeetna is unincorporated and just a historical district with no mayor, so Stubbs was just an honorary mayor. Stubbs was said to be a tourist attraction and in s03e03, "The Mark", it's said the alpaca mayor may have increased tourism by 4%.

Show generally

Plot hole: The length of time the vortex stays open varies throughout the show and seems based on when the writers want it to close. In several episodes the vortex is said to stay open for 60 seconds. Sometimes the group goes through immediately (to avoid danger) and sometimes wait (to say good-bye). Yet it will still close after the last Slider goes through, even if it's open for less than 15 seconds. And it's not closing because the 4th person went through since sometimes more than 4 people go through.

Trivia: She-Hulk started to break the 4th wall as early as 1989 in "The Sensational She-Hulk" by John Byrne. This is well before Deadpool started to break the 4th wall in 1997. Show producer, Kevin Feige has said much of the show takes inspiration from the "The Sensational She-Hulk" series.

Trivia: John Rhys-Davies, who was the first main star to leave the series, was often critical of the show's writing and writers. He said many didn't even read science fiction which led to them borrowing from other works. Works like "Jurassic Park", "The Lost World", "Tremors", "Night of the Living Dead", "The Island of Dr. Moreau", and "Dracula." There was even an scene where Quinn had to cross an invisible bridge similar to Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade, which Rhys-Davies starred in.

Show generally

Character mistake: The Sliders are constantly trying to interact with a new world despite not knowing anything about it. This action often leads to misunderstandings, arrests, or threat of death. Sometimes there's even posted signs that they don't bother reading until it's pointed out by someone they've upset or annoyed. Yet they continue this action. They played a death lottery without asking question, order beer when it's not available to them, or try to pay without local currency.

Question: I tried to read up on what kind of accent Russell Crowe was doing, I assumed it was a Greek accent. But I don't know the accent well enough to know if it come across authentic or sounding like a stereotype. How realistic is his accent? Does it sound natural to someone who is Greek? At times, it sounded like someone does a bad Italian accent by pretending to be Mario.

A Current Affair - S5-E7

Trivia: This episode alludes to President Bill Clinton's sex scandal. In the episode, the President is named Jefferson Williams. Bill Clinton's full name is William Jefferson Clinton.

Applied Physics - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Diana is at the cafe with her double, the book on the table changes position between shots. Some shots the binding is perpendicular to her body and in other shots it's more parallel with it.
