Season: Whole show  1  2  3  4  All

Across whole show

In just about every episode, someone complains about landing harshly or bumping into someone during the slide. You'd think that after enough slides, these dummies would at least consider the use of helmets or something (not always possible with their predicaments, of course). [Rembrandt does try using pads to slide in an second season episode, but the other sliders jut make fun of him, plus it's a lot more stuff to carry.]
Edit Corrected by Nick N.
In the episode where the Sliders go to the world where Quinn sees himself as a child attending his father's funeral. Quinn helps his young self deal with bullies. Quinn repeatedly mentions is was all happening the way it did on Earth Prime. The flaw here is that in the Series Premier episode, they showed a picture of Quinn, his mom and dad. Quinn was a teenager in that picture, not a kid. Therefore the events in the alternate world they were visiting could not be happening the exact same way. [Who says that the picture was of his father? If he dies when Quinn was a child, it's not hard to see that Quinn's mother could have remarried since.]

The Weaker Sex (series 1)

As there are ten seconds left until the slide, the timer starts beeping. The beeping gets faster as the time counts down but it's one of the only times the timer beeps to signify that the Sliders' time is up. [Quinn says a few times throughout the whole show that he's always making adjustments to the timer. Obviously, that was one of them. Just because we don't see him fiddling with it doesn't mean that he doesn't, especially after what he said.]

After Arturo's campaign video, there's "Paid for by the committee to elect Maximillian Arturo for Mayor", but the narrator says something like "Paid for by the Arturo committee". [You get the same message, it's not necessary to have all of the exact same words. This happens plenty of times in real life, as well.]

Pilot (2) (series 1)

When Rembrandt and Pavel the Taxi Driver first talk, Pavel's mumbling is anything _but_ Russian (I'm bound to know, since I'm Russian), yet captions say that he speaks in Russian. [Remember this is a parallel world. Obviously he's speaking the Russian of that world.]
Edit Time
When Professor Arturo first sees the statue of Lenin, he says "Nikolai Lenin". It's a shame for a professor to make such a rude mistake - Lenin's first name was "Vladimir". [It's an alternate universe, the name doesn't need to be the same as it is in their universe.]

All of series 1 (series 1)

In the episode where the Sliders go to the world where Quinn sees himself as a child attending his father's funeral, Quinn helps his young self deal with bullies. Quinn repeatedly mentions it was all happening exactly the way it did on Earth Prime. The flaw here is that in the series premiere episode, they showed a picture of Quinn, his mom and dad. Quinn was a teenager in that picture, not a kid. Therefore the events in the alternate world could not be happening the exact same way. And we know his mother never remarried and the man in the picture could not have been a stepfather because throughout the whole series they repeatedly show Quinn's father and he is the very same person in the picture. [The odds of everything happening the EXACT same way is too thin for it to actually happen. Just like the first world that he Slid into, it was just a VERY similar world, although not exactly the same. It's the same case here, Quinn was just wrong in his assumption.]

As Time Goes By (series 2)

If time is, in fact, going backward, then people would be walking backward, all sound would be backward, etc. [When the Sliders discover they are moving 'backwards' and Arturo says so; it is further discussed & determined that they are 'jumping' or 'skipping' - so while each hour or so is 'forward' for all, the 'next' hour or so is a jump several hours backwards. Hence, the overall story is 'backwards', but all are 'moving forwards', just in different ways.]

The Exodus (1) (series 3)

At the end of this episode, Quinn finds Earth Prime. He knows this is the right place because of the necklace his mother is wearing that he left for her before he began sliding. When he 1st approaches the house, he opens the gate and it squeaks which is his 1st clue that he was home. However at the end of the episode titled Into The Mystic, they thought they went home only to find the gate not squeaking. After they left it was revealed that the gardener had oiled the gate. If in this episode they are back home, then the gate should no longer squeak. [Oil wears off. That's why the gate started squeaking to begin with, prompting the gardener to eventually oil it.]
