Gillian Of The Spirits - S2-E3

Plot hole: Quinn is unable to touch anything or anyone, yet he is somehow able to sit in a taxi cab. Why doesn't he fall through the car seat?

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.

Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome - S2-E8

Plot hole: Since Quinn's double built a sliding system in his basement, our sliders could have used it to reset the timer and go home, just like they intended to do in the episode "Eggheads."

Mistakes

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.

Quotes

Just Say Yes - S4-E7

Agent Lowell: That's Mallory all right. Busted twice for non-possession. Jumped bail a year ago and ran off to Mexico.
Damon: I heard he died of an under-dose.
Agent Lowell: Same here. I guess we were wrong, huh? It's a safe bet Mallory snuck back into the country to spread more of his anti-drug propaganda. A guy like that shouldn't be on the street.

Trivia

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.

Questions

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.
