The Exodus (2) - S3-E17

Plot hole: If Quinn has the timer that could be used multiple times without trouble, why couldn't he take back Remmy and Wade then come back and save the world in peril?

The Other Slide Of Darkness - S3-E21

Plot hole: Quinn once again meets the alt-Quinn that he met in the pilot episode. Alt-Quinn tells our Quinn that he remembers solving the final part of the equation on his chalkboard. The problem is, there are many...possibly an infinite number of Quinn doubles in the multiverse. How could alt-Quinn have possibly known he was talking to our Quinn?

Mistakes

As Time Goes By - S2-E13

Other mistake: The Sliders discover the reverse-time issue when they notice that the clock on the wall is backward. However, in other shots, clocks look normal. Look carefully at the clocks on the judge's desk as the camera pans by.

Quotes

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.

Questions

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Question: In the pilot episode, the wormhole physically travels to "capture" Quinn and bring him back to his own world, after his very first slide. How did the wormhole know where Quinn was?

Matty Blast

Chosen answer: Remember at first Quinn's timer is working perfectly (it's only because they slide off the ice age world early that it begins to malfunction) & given Quinn's intellect he would have devised a way that he could open a wormhole near him so he wouldn't be trapped on that world for 29 years.
