FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT is back for our third review of the second season of SLIDERS! This time, we’re taking a look at Season 2, Episode 5, “El Sid” (original airdate: March 29, 1996 on Fox). While the Sliders wait to leave a world of violence, Quinn saves a woman from her criminal boyfriend, Sid. Sid then goes after the Sliders through the vortex, where they all arrive on a world where San Francisco is a maximum-security prison.
This episode was written by Jon Povill, directed by Paris Barclay, and guest-starred the great Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Sid.
Co-hosts Mike Bloxam & Damon Sugameli are joined once again by returning guest Aaron Moss (The Headcast Network) along with special guest William Pleasant (Mr. Pleasant TV, Co-Host of A Pleasant Love). Together, we dive deep into this fan-favorite episode where SLIDERS meets ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and its not-as-good sequel ESCAPE FROM L.A. It may not have Snake Plissken, but it does feature a charismatic leather-clad psychopath with anger management issues who preys on the weak and defenseless and connives his way into becoming the de facto leader of a militia. Wait…are we talking about Negan from THE WALKING DEAD or an episode of SLIDERS? All we need now is Lucille! Hope you enjoy our analysis and review!
Retro REVIEW #12: “Escape from San Francisco” (Now with More Negan!)
Next up: “Love Gods” with returning guest Jan Fennick.
