Sliders - The Third Season
Review created: 09/09/09(updated 10/08/09)

The writing is clearly not as "crisp" in Sliders Season 3, as before, but it is adequate, not horrible as some suggest. The prof Arturo character was killed off apparently because John Rhys-Davies apparently embarrased either the producer or the producer's wife at a Hollywood party due to the dismal script writing, depending on where you read it. Kari Wurher fills in and by the end of the season, fits in with the crew.
Sliders is one of those TV series that did not live up to the HUGE potential it had. It could have been a centerpiece type of show, and they could have EASILY written Arturo back in a myriad of ways, as well as branch out into different directions all at once, like the X-files and run just as long. They could have run for 9-10 seasons, 25-30 shows per season, had all kinds of interesting story lines, and mixed and matched a group of regulars that could have alternated in and out.
Sliders is well worth watching because of the variety of situations and comraderie of the main character group. Season 3 has Prof Arturo most of the way, so enjoy.
