Love Gods - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Quinn finds Natalie and goes over to where she is drinking and conversing with a man seated at a table. Quinn goes over, and in the next shot, she is alone at the table.

Love Gods - S2-E2

Deliberate mistake: Wade and Quinn go to the Top Hat Club. We see a line of people waiting to get in. After they are in the club a while, leave in a taxi, go to the park to meet Rembrandt and Arturo, discuss some things, talk to some passersby, and go back to the Top Hat. We again see a line waiting to get in. It is the same line with the same people in the same place as way earlier. It is a repeated shot of the previous queue from when they went there the first time.

Suggested correction: This is a common trope with ghosts or people on the astral plane or out of phase. It's not a mistake since it's not a real life thing and it's not explained how it works (although there are some theoretical physics theories behind it). He can sit in the cab the same way he can walk on the ground and up stairs.

The Good, The Bad, And The Wealthy - S2-E4

Other mistake: When Rembrandt is playing poker for the first time, the guy across from him says he'll call (and then he raises). So Rembrandt folds (even though he had a full house) because that's what Priscilla told him to do. But Rembrandt was supposed to just ante and fold until Cliff got there. But because the guy called, that means Rembrandt made the first bet. He shouldn't have bet at all though.

Time Again And World - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the car pulls into the computer store, there is only one occupant. However, Rembrandt, Quinn and Wade are all inside. (Incidentally, the reason this mistake occurred is that the shot of the car pulling into the parking spot was recycled from the Pilot episode).

Matty Phillips

Greatfellas - S2-E10

Deliberate mistake: When Quinn comes back to the hotel room with a large stack of money he'd won at the casino, he waves it, and you can see a 1-dollar bill in the middle. He was supposed to have over $100,000, but since the crew couldn't get that much money for a brief scene, they used a stack of dollar bills. (00:35:40)

Grigory the Wanderer

As Time Goes By - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: The dialogue says they are in San Francisco while they wait for someone to pick them up for day laboring. A few moments later, we see on the top of the building "Vancouver Ice and Cold Storage". They're clearly filming in Vancouver, not in San Francisco. (00:01:25)

Got a good Eye and Ears

As Time Goes By - S2-E13

Other mistake: According to reverse-time issue: In court, when Quinn looks at the clock on the wall, you can see that the clock still goes forward, despite of the anticlockwise indicators since the digits are inverted. (00:31:25)

Suggested correction: You just explained the plot that Max explained to the group. Time is moving forward to the people of that world but moving backwards for them. So the anti-clockwise movement of the hands show time moving backwards while the reverse order of the numbers shows time moving forward.

As Time Goes By - S2-E13

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.

Matty Blast

Quinn Michael Mallory: We have a plan. We just don't know what it is yet.

Trivia: On the equation on Quinn's chalkboard, T squared ("T2") appears in several places, a nod to Tracey Torme, Co-director of the series.

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

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?

Matty Blast

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.
