FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT is back for the second in our series of retro reviews for SLIDERS. This time, we’re taking a look at Season 1, Episode 2 (or should that be Episode 5?), entitled, “Summer of Love”…
FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT: SLIDERS Episode 1x05 — “Summer of Love”
[Original airdate: 04/19/95]
The Sliders find themselves in a present-day San Francisco where the "Summer of Love" never ended – and Wade and Rembrandt are mistaken for extraterrestrial prophets.
This episode was written by Tracy Tormé and directed by Mario Azzopardi.
Joining my co-host Mike Bloxam (MikeKraken) and me (Damon Sugameli) is Special Guest Albert Burdge as “Albie” (Co-Host of the new Star Trek podcast TREKSPLORATION; Creator/Executive Producer of THE QUANTUM LEAP PODCAST).
Together, we discuss and break down what we loved about this fun episode, including, but not limited to: my aversion to huge hybrid bugs, the cleverness of Tracy Torme’s writing and the potential the series premise had before it all went downhill, the ethics of choking the life out of an obnoxious teenager, and Mike’s penchant for finding Easter eggs and connections to Canadian culture and media. Plus, a brief nod to Canadian 80s pop star Robin Sparkles?!
Hope you enjoy our analysis and review!
