FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT is back for the fourth in our series of retro reviews for SLIDERS. This time, we’re taking a look at Season 1, Episode 2 (a.k.a. Episode 4 in story continuity order), “Fever”…
FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT: SLIDERS Episode 1x02 — "Fever"
[Original airdate: 03/29/95]
When Wade is infected with a deadly virus on an Earth wracked by an epidemic, Rembrandt and Arturo race to find a cure and free Quinn from a Gestapo-like health agency.
This episode was written by Ann Powell & Rose Schacht and directed by Mario Azzopardi.
Mike Bloxam (MikeKraken) & I (Damon Sugameli) are joined by Special Guest Lisa Hollifield (Phantom of the Broadgrass, formerly The Wolf and The Storm).
Together, we explore one of the show’s more popular and darker episodes through the lens of living in a post-Covid world and the all-too-real sense of paranoia that came with it. I have very fond memories of this one and consider it one of my all-time favorites, while Mike and Lisa tear apart some of the more nonsensical aspects of a world without penicillin. Am I just looking at this episode through rose-colored glasses? Hope you enjoy our analysis and review!
