Sliders “As Time Goes By” – Season 2 Episode 13

24 June 2010

This episode starts out with our Sliders as immigrants looking for day labor. Apparently Mexico is the dominant force in the Western Hemisphere and controls the entire United States. White people are only from Canada in this place.

It’s a strange and unusual world and the immigration police come for them as they are looking for some work.

All of the day laborers scatter but Quinn is the only one of the four Sliders who gets away. The other three are captured and put onto a deportation trial. They get this lawyer who basically does nothing for them and they are ordered to be deported to Canada in the morning. They’re obviously worried about missing the slide and don’t want to spend the rest of their lives in Canada.

Quinn was running away and happens to run into the love of his life from his world. This woman on this world obviously knows nothing about him but has compassion on him. She and her brother wish to get her fiancé out and will help Quinn because it also helps themselves.

They do a raid on the deportation truck and stop it in the Nick of time. The Sliders are back together and they slide out of that world.

The next world they come into they only have about seven hours on and Quinn is feeling pretty down. Rembrandt suggests that he contact this girl to see what she’s up to. In this world Quinn was the one who moved away in 10th grade and she was the one whose heart was broken.

They have a moment together but then her husband comes in and the little girl baby starts to cry.

Quinn realizes he cannot take her on the sliding journey with him. But what he does do is call Seattle because in this world Quinn was the one who moved away. He talks to this Quinn and gets the address so that he can put the two of them together.

Then they slide off onto the next world and find themselves in jail. They have no idea how they got there nor what they are charged with.

Come to find out they have been somewhat displaced. For them time is moving forward but for the rest of the people in this world time is moving backwards. Or vice versa.

From the perspective of the people in this world time is moving normally. For the Sliders it is on the completely opposite track. They think the timer has gone haywire but once they figure it out they realize that when it’s time for the slide the vortex will open.

They were on trial for the murder of Quinn’s girl who is a cop on this world. But since for them time is moving back Quinn is able to stop the murder from happening. This rips a hole in the fabric of time and the professor says, “You changed time and we don’t know what will happen”.

The sky seems to rip open right as the vortex opens for them. We don’t know what happens to this world as our Sliders are sucked in and off onto their next adventure.
