It's never established if this world's frigid climate is due to Nuclear Winter or to an Ice Age ; since the Sliders never show symptoms of radiation poisoning and many buildings in San Francisco are still standing, I have to assume this is an Earth caught in the midst of an Ice Age . Cool! [Pilot]4. Red Dawn Earth A world where the Domino theory became fact and the Soviets took over the world. This Earth's alternate Wade is a leader in the American underground . Alternate Rembrandt was killed twelve years ago in the Detroit Uprisings. Alternate Arturo is Citizen General (i.e. the warden) of a political prisoner camp in the local university. ("Alway a leader among men!") [Pilot]5. Dad's Earth (a.k.a. Earth Prime + Dad) An alternate Earth very similar to Earth Prime in every detail but one: in this world, Quinn's father never died. [Pilot]6. Oil Boom Earth Oil is discovered under the streets of San Francisco and in Quinn's own backyard. Unfortunately, the Sliders only have twenty minutes to enjoy their newfound wealt (www.faqs.org....te-earths/)
[Fever]7. Fever Earth An alternate world where penicillin was never discovered is a dangerous place to kiss a stranger. Alternate Quinn is Patient Zero, the first carrier of the "Q" disease and a $1,000,000 reward is offered for his capture. [Fever]8. Cannibal Earth Exercise caution if invited over to a friend's house for dinner on this alternate Earth. This arid world might be a good place to become a vegetarian. [Fever]9. Asteroid Earth A huge asteroid is is due to hit the west coast of this Earth's United States in two days; too bad the Sliders ' timer is set for three days. This world's Quinn had tried to tinker together a time machine; it's unclear if his research was successful or not. [Last Days]10. Water Earth The oceans of this world have risen several hundred feet, probably due to the melting of the polar ice caps. San Francisco is covered by so much water that only the upper twenty feet or so of San Francisco 's Transamerican Pyramid is projecting out of the water. [Prince of Wails] Note: When the Sliders arrive on Water Earth they are wearing the clothes they were wearing when they slid out of Hippie Earth in Summer of Lov (www.faqs.org....te-earths/)
" Sliders visiting this world are advised to keep off the grass. Since Quinn is convicted of this crime based on eyewitness and fingerprint evidence, I think it's safe to assume that this world's Quinn is a bit of a criminal, or at least a rebel. It's also worth mentioning that the judge who sentences Quinn bears an uncanny resemblance to Judge Lance Ito. [The King Is Back]18. Crying Man's Earth Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown was the King of Rock and Roll on this Earth until a tragic sponge fishing accident in the Gulf apparently ended his life at the peak of his career. Now, years later, there are Crying Man impersonators and a shrine to his memory in Memphis . Imagine this world's surprise when the Sliders arrive. [The King Is Back]19. Ice Cream Earth All we know of this world is that Quinn and Rembrandt got jobs as street venders selling ice cream (King brand ice cream of course!) [The King Is Back]20. Lottery Earth Society on this world keeps the population down to a mere 500 million through a variety of means including birth control drugs in cola and a lottery system which usually proves fatal to the winner (www.faqs.org....te-earths/)
