Sliders “Revelations” – Season 4 Episode 22
- Image via Wikipedia
Revelations was the season finale for season 4. It turned out to be the final slide for Jerry O’Connell and Charlie O’Connell. Their character’s Quinn and Colin Mallory were taken out the very first episode of season 5.
Apparently, there was some sort of contract dispute or money dispute between Jerry O’Connell and the network which could not be resolved so they chose to do one more season without two of the main heroes involved. Rembrandt and Maggie are the final 2 who have been around for a while.
It’s quite disappointing also because this was an exciting episode where much was revealed. The Sliders first slide off this world where they are running away from this giant hand. They found themselves on a world of giants and one of them developed a massive crush on Maggie. He wanted her to meet his parents. He even put his hand through the vortex in an attempt to grab her and bring her back.
Once they land on this world Quinn cannot believe his eyes when the timer says they have 624 hours on this place. They’ve never had as long as 24 days on any world they’ve been on. He can tell they’re going to have lots of down time here.
Since they have lots of down time they take odd jobs.
Maggie is a waiter. Quinn and Collin are mechanics at the local full-service station.
Maggie gets fed up and decides to quit. In the meantime Rembrandt has been doing some recon and reading lots of books that they have here because of the downtime. He reads one that is scarily similar to their sliding adventures. It talks about the Gormags, how their women can’t have babies, and interdimensional worlds.
It is supposedly a sci-fi novel.
But the Sliders know better because it is simply too real to the truth.
They speculate the author Isaac Clark is someone who is from their home world. So they have to track him down but unfortunately he is very elusive. He never meets with his publisher nor does he have an agent to speak of. All he has is a lawyer.
Then Quinn and Collin get this brilliant idea to trace any phone numbers that the three of those people have called. They need a modem but they don’t have any money. They ask Maggie to cough up what she has saved her her big night out.
She reluctantly gives them the money. They track down a phone number which happens to be a payphone in this out-of-the-way place.
They meet Isaac Clark and tell him their story. He reveals to his daughter that everything in the stories is true. He tells the Sliders he is from Quinn and Collin’s home world. This turns out to be a lie. They slide back to Isaac’s home world and think they are all home.
However, when Quinn and Collin are telling their parents the story of the microchips their parents know something is wrong.
This is an alternate world.
Isaac simply wanted to get back here to right a wrong that happened 20 years ago. The Kromaggs are the downtrodden race here and they were basically ethnically cleansed into extinction. Isaac was sentenced to sliding exile.
He comes back to right his wrong and ends up getting captured. His daughter has supposedly gone back to his study to get the evidence of the Mallory’s treachery against the Kromaggs.
The Sliders are on the run from the police again. What else is new?
They get onto an Amtrak train which is moving at high speed and the vortex is set to open very shortly. We’re beginning to wonder if our heroes are ever going to get back to their home world to find a weapon which will defeat the Kromaggs on Rembrandt’s home world.
It’s a very unsatisfactory ending to season 4 which started and had so much promise. That after all their journeys the brothers didn’t even find their home world is ridiculous. I’m sure they figured they were going to resolve it in season 5 and when the negotiations with Jerry O’Connell broke down that possibility was out as well.
Overall, a very unsatisfying end to our hero’s journey.
To go through all the slides and all these adventures and not even have a climax where they get home to see what happens, it just seems wrong.
