Summaries

Landing in 1960s Earth, Rembrandt and Wade are mistaken for gods; Arturo and Quinn, for opponents of President Oliver North. -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. -TV Guide

Alternate Earths

12. Spiderwasp Earth

On this world in 1987 a potential form of pest control, the South American Spiderwasp, escaped from the lab where it was genetically engineered. A hybrid with the worse attributes of spiders and wasps, its swarms have spread to cover all of South America and it is now invading North America. The first swarms reach San Francisco about the same time as the Sliders...

13. Hippie Earth

The peace movement of the 1960s lives on here--right down to the communes and war protesters in San Francisco. These protestors however, are protesting a protracted war against Soviet controlled North Australia. Ollie North is President. Alternate Rembrandt is a henpecked Sergeant First Class in the Army who never had a musical career.

Notes

• Not only is Oliver North the president of the United States on Hippie Earth, but he's also president on the Pulsar Earth the Sliders visit in the episode The Exodus - Part One. Is it possible that Pulsar Earth and Hippie Earth are one and the same?
