After a slight delay from dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT is back for the seventh in our series of retro reviews for SLIDERS. This time, we’re taking a look at Season 1, Episode 6 (a.k.a. Episode 7 in story continuity order), “Eggheads”…
FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT: SLIDERS Episode 1x06 — "Eggheads"
[Original airdate: 04/26/95]
While Quinn struggles with fame in a world where intellect is prized, Arturo tries for a reconciliation with a long-lost love.
The teleplay for this episode was written by Scott Smith Miller from a story by Scott Smith Miller & Jacob Epstein, and was directed by Timothy Bond.
I (Damon Sugameli) & Mike Bloxam (MikeKraken) are joined by Special Guest Aaron Moss of The Headcast Network. He is the host/co-host of several podcasts, including: Head Speaks, G.I.Joe: A Real American Headcast, Task Force X, The Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, The Star Bright Project, and the recently completed VoyagersCast!
We share our thoughts and opinions about a world where intellect and genius are treated with the same level of reverence as our world gives to professional athletes and Hollywood stars. It was Mike’s favorite episode to date, while I had some quibbles with how to categorize Mindgame: Is it an athletic sport? A mental quiz coupled with physical endurance? A weird hybrid of Othello and Family Feud? All of the above?! We also discuss one of the stronger plot points this episode had to offer with the important character development of Arturo. On top of all that, this episode also had some really great humorous moments with a few interesting Easter eggs/endorsements sprinkled into the mix: Nikke (Just think it), Weeties (The Breakfast of Geniuses), and The Cap (which Aaron and I totally missed, by the way)! But honestly, we’re all here for just one thing: “The Library Rap!”
Two episodes remain, no need to fear.
The end of the season is almost here!
So join us guys to see what we say and do.
Hope you enjoy our analysis and review!
