Continuity mistake: After Quinn bumps his head, he touches the wound with his left hand and his watch is turned around so the face looking inward. In the very next shot, from a different angle, he resumes touching his head but the watch has turned around to the standard position.
Other mistake: The Sliders discover the reverse-time issue when they notice that the clock on the wall is backward. However, in other shots, clocks look normal. Look carefully at the clocks on the judge's desk as the camera pans by.
Quinn Michael Mallory: We have a plan. We just don't know what it is yet.
Trivia: The man who is homeless in "our" world, and is running for the U.S. Senator in the parallel universe, is the episode's director, Andy Tennant, making a memorable cameo appearance.
Suggested correction: The homeless man (Crazy Kenny) was played by Frank C. Turner, not Andy Tennant.
Question: In the pilot episode, the wormhole physically travels to "capture" Quinn and bring him back to his own world, after his very first slide. How did the wormhole know where Quinn was?
Chosen answer: Remember at first Quinn's timer is working perfectly (it's only because they slide off the ice age world early that it begins to malfunction) & given Quinn's intellect he would have devised a way that he could open a wormhole near him so he wouldn't be trapped on that world for 29 years.
