Sliders “Seer” – Season 5 Episode 18 Series Finale
- Image via Wikipedia
This episode of Sliders starts out with them sitting outdoors in the front of this little café. Maggie is drinking a pork soda and eating a giraffe burger. That’s right as crazy as those things sound this is somewhat of “exotic world”.
Diana and Mallory make a nasty face at what Maggie is eating. They ask her why she’s eating these seemingly horrible things and she says “Soon all you’ll have is the expected. I wanted to take one more chance to have the unexpected.”
At the end of the last episode before they left Dr. Geiger handed Diana a disc. They have the coordinates to their home worlds now.
So even though the good doctor was evil and really cared only about himself at the end of his days he decided to do something selfless to help. We don’t know if it was an atonement hoping he would get better treatment when he faces judgment day or if he just wanted to make up for the things he did in his life.
The Sliders get together and make what they believe will be the final slide back to Rembrandt’s home world.
He’s a little bit shaken up because he thought he would have some sort of idea or weapon to defeat the Kromaggs. He tells them his world is going to be no picnic because of the Kromagg occupation but they all agree to go with him anyway.
They end up sliding into this church type building.
There’s a massive throng of fans waiting outside for them welcoming the Sliders. This is quite odd because this world seems to know exactly who they are.
They soon discover on this world there is this old man that people call “the Seer”. He had congestive heart failure and during one of his heart attacks had somehow become connected with the multi-verse. He could see lots of things in other dimensions as if they were real. They were the most vivid visions he’d ever experienced.
At a certain point he realized that they were real. Not so much real on his earth but they were actually occurring in other dimensions.
So he started writing about and creating paintings of them. He knew all about them as well as the Prof. and Wade.
He knew Quinn and Colin and seemed to know them going back to the first time they started the sliding.
The Sliders were quite surprised and couldn’t really believe this at first glance. But all the paintings of worlds they had been to and his writings convinced them so they had no choice but to see the truth. He then gives them sobering news that unless they stay on this world the next slide they do will kill them.
So they have one final problem and decision to make.
They end up meeting Quinn’s mom. This is his real mom from Quinn and Rembrandt’s home world. At least Quinn’s home world that he grew up on when his parents dropped him off there with the Mrs. Mallory double. Mallory doesn’t take to her at first but then has a moment alone with her where he admits that her Quinn is still inside him. He feels connected to her though this other Quinn.
The Sliders make the decision that they are going to move on to Rembrandt’s home world anyway and take the chance. They discover this world developed a virus that attacks the Kromaggs and it lives in the blood of all humans on this world. They get a vial of the blood to take back.
The one warning the guy gives Rembrandt is that the virus has to be synthesized within two days.
They find there’s this secret cache of Kromagg technology that the seer’s daughter Claire has kept. There’s a vortex blocker which they turn off. There’s also a sliding device that they can use.
Claire and her goons come into stop the Sliders because she wants to capitalize and profit off of their presence there. But the seer comes in and they end up overpowering begins. She already had her goons bust the Sliders timer and this was the last straw.
They put Claire and her goons in a holding cell. The seer is having a heart attack.
Diana opens the vortex with a warning. The power is so low she believes that it’s going to collapse. She says that there’s maybe only enough power for 1 of them to go through.
As the three of them are arguing Mallory says it should be him. But then they look back and see that Rembrandt has already injected himself with the vial of the blood.
“Here comes typhoid Remy” Rembrandt says. He jumps through the vortex right before it collapses.
It’s a fitting end to the show but there is some mystery left over. This seer has succumbed to his heart attack. Despite Diana’s pleading he doesn’t respond. So they don’t know what has become of Rembrandt.
As the camera pans out Mallory asks the question, “So what do we do now”.
It’s a very appropriate question that fans who watched the show live 11 years ago had to be asking themselves. And now I’ve gone through the full series here over the last few weeks and it’s a question I’m also asking myself.
