Reality Check
It's an infinite number of possibilities in an
infinite number of worlds. As a writer, and a human being, I have always believed that
anything your mind can imagine is possible, be it a computer than can store large amounts
of information and yet, fit on a desk, or a method of communication that requires nothing
more than a single thought.
That said, that's why I've always enjoyed
writing and watching "Sliders". It's a show that allowed its characters to
explore anything and everything. And boy, Wade was cute...
I'm just a fan. I'm a fan who was thrilled with
the first two seasons, seeing a show that didn't talk down to its viewers and was willing
to break new ground; to explore. That's not something easily found in
television, or in "Sliders" after the third season. And with recent
developments, I've come to wonder if what the fans want will ever come to pass.
So this is my vision. This is what I'd like
"Sliders" to be, and what I believe it could have been. Is it still possible?
Jerry O'Connell doesn't think so. But Bob Weiss is an awfully nice guy who's busy on a
"Sliders" feature film, and Sabrina Lloyd (Wade Welles) has expressed interest
in returning. Mr. Davies (Arturo) hasn't ruled it out.
But that's not important. Regardless of what
happens to "Sliders" in the future, this is what I believe "Sliders"
should have been. I'm not going to say that my stories are what the show
should have done, but it should have remained true to what it was in the beginning.
I was extremely disappointed in the last few
years of the show, and I think my fanfic here is something that many people will enjoy,
because it works it's way into the continuity of the show perfectly. These stories that
I've written here happened. In another existence, perhaps. But they're
there.
Enjoy them. |
