SLIDERS Retro REVIEW #2 | Episode 1x05 | "Summer of Love"

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?), “Summer of Love” (original airdate: April 19, 1995 on Fox). 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.
Join co-hosts Mike Bloxam & Damon Sugameli as we welcome back 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: Damon’s 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! And congratulations to Mike on the birth of his new child, born on June 16th! We will return once he gets more sleep and his schedule becomes more manageable. 🙂
