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.

The Alternateville Horror - S4-E8

Stupidity: Colin tells the group he saw a ghost (a non-corporal shade) who walked through the door. They laugh at him and blame it on what he was watching on TV or too much sliding. Given everything the group has seen, vampires, a dragon, etc, they should have least checked it out. Quinn himself was once on the astral plane and nobody could see him except one girl who thought she was seeing a ghost, and he could walk through solid objects.

Lipschitz Live! - S4-E13

Trivia: When the real Colin and Roxanne are leaving the hotel and saying they're going to buy the station, Colin adds "I think we'll buy that channel that shows nothing but science fiction programming." This is a reference to the Sci-Fi Channel. Fox cancelled the series after Season 3, but the Sci-Fi Channel picked up the series for Season 4 and 5.

Luck Of The Draw - S1-E10

Trivia: In this episode, it is said Joycelyn Elders is president. In real life, she was Surgeon General of the US from 1993-1994. She was a big proponent of sex education and practising safe sex. The main focus on this episode was population control, and using contraceptives is a good way to help that. In the episode, she was at the dedication of the re-opening of the "Thomas Malthus Center for Sexual Ethics and Education."

Revelations - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: When the group is fleeing from the cops, there's a shot of the road as they're turning. The camera used has a crack, or piece of debris, on it at the top to the left. The black line doesn't move as the camera pans across the road.

Lipschitz Live! - S4-E13

Character mistake: Maggie and Rembrandt go into Alt-Colin's room thinking it's their Colin. But then begin to question when he had time to buy a suitcase, get his stuff monogrammed, and where he would get the money for it. When they find Alt-Colin, he has expensive jewelry on and is acting weird, saying "homie" and hitting on Maggie. And yet they still act like this is their Colin and don't think about it being his double, despite the fact that they constantly talk about and met their doubles.

Genesis - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Kromagg leader goes to eat an eyeball, he stabs his fork into a green eye. In the next shot when he lifts it up, the eye is now blue.

Slither - S3-E22

Stupidity: Throughout the series, people in the group always say they need to stick together and only separate if absolutely necessary. Here, Quinn and Rembrandt take a vacation pretty far away from Wade and Maggie (they had to fly to their destination). And they do so knowing they have no way to directly communicate with the others (i.e. cell phones) in case something goes wrong, which it does. They get bumped from their flight, but it might have been easier to get Wade and Maggie to fly to them.

Show generally

Plot hole: The length of time the vortex stays open varies throughout the show and seems based on when the writers want it to close. In several episodes the vortex is said to stay open for 60 seconds. Sometimes the group go through immediately (to avoid danger) and sometimes wait (to say good-bye). Yet it will still close after the last Slider goes through, even if it's open for less than 15 seconds. And it's not closing because the 4th person went through since sometimes more than 4 people go through.

Trivia: John Rhys-Davies, who was the first main star to leave the series, was often critical of the show's writing and writers. He said many didn't even read science fiction which led to them borrowing from other works. Works like "Jurassic Park", "The Lost World", "Tremors", "Night of the Living Dead", "The Island of Dr. Moreau", and "Dracula." There was even an scene where Quinn had to cross an invisible bridge similar to Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade, which Rhys-Davies starred in.

Show generally

Character mistake: The Sliders are constantly trying to interact with a new world despite not knowing anything about it. This action often leads to misunderstandings, arrests, or threat of death. Sometimes there's even posted signs that they don't bother reading until it's pointed out by someone they've upset or annoyed. Yet they continue this action. They played a death lottery without asking question, order beer when it's not available to them, or try to pay without local currency.

A Current Affair - S5-E7

Trivia: This episode alludes to President Bill Clinton's sex scandal. In the episode, the President is named Jefferson Williams. Bill Clinton's full name is William Jefferson Clinton.

Greatfellas - S2-E10

Trivia: This episode features singer Mel Tormé, playing an alternate version of himself. Mel Tormé is the father of show creator Tracy Tormé.

Applied Physics - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Diana is at the cafe with her double, the book on the table changes position between shots. Some shots the binding is perpendicular to her body and in other shots it's more parallel with it.

Bishop73

Data World - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Chandler is on the roof with Quinn and says they should talk in his office, he's standing on Quinn's right side. In the next shot, Mr. Chandler is on Quinn's left side.

Bishop73

Data World - S4-E17

Stupidity: One of the hotel rules is "no singing in public places." Rembrandt ignores this and starts singing, despite pleads from the bartender. The group is already questioning how they got inside the hotel, why there's no charge but nothing is free, and Rembrandt even wants to know what the hell is going on. Rembrandt has been on enough worlds to see what happens when people break the rules. It's stupid for him to start singing in a place he knows nothing about as if this rule didn't apply to him.

Bishop73

Data World - S4-E17

Trivia: At the beginning when walking through town, Quinn (played by Jerry O'Connell) says "where's Wes Craven" and Rembrandt says "what is this, Scream 3?" Jerry O'Connell was in "Scream 2", which was directed by Wes Craven. At the time the episode aired, "Scream 3" had not been produced yet.

Bishop73

Slither - S3-E22

Trivia: This episode is about a bunch of snakes turned deadly when two "tri-adders" (a fictional species described as python like) are capture and one breaks free. Kari Wuher, who played Maggie and relatively new to the show, was in the film "Anaconda." "Anaconda" premiered two weeks prior to this episode being aired.

Bishop73

Luck Of The Draw - S1-E10

Trivia: In this episode, Geoff Edwards, who is credited as playing himself, host the lottery. In real life, Edwards was the host of several game shows, including "Jackpot." He also hosted "The Big Spin", which was the California Lottery's first television show.
