Episodes
Season 1 (1995)
Fox changed the intended order of the episodes, beginning with episodes they thought would draw in audiences.[2] This often causes confusion and sometimes chronological errors in continuity with respect to the story arc (for example, episode 5 opens with the resolution to the cliffhanger brought about in episode 6). The intended and filmed order of the episodes is as follows:
1-2. "Pilot, (Parts 1 and 2)"
6. "Summer of Love"
5. "Prince of Wails"
3. "Fever"
4. "Last Days"
8. "The Weaker Sex"
7. "Eggheads"
9. "The King is Back"
10. "Luck of the Draw"

| On a world with a television program based on the sliders' adventures, a psychic predicts the sliders' fate; they die in their next slide, and he begs Rembrandt, Maggie, Diana and Mallory stay.
