We did not get through the pilot. The plot was infantile. The characters were not characters. They were merely bad actors, masquerading as characters. Rather than moving towards a goal, or establishing a problem that would persist throughout the series, the writers decided to place their characters-not-characters into contrived and unlikely situations, thus forcing them to react.
The dialogue was poor. The pilot episode did not improve with time. It merely deteriorated, as my father and I stared at the LCD with glazed, half-lidded eyes. The characters were stereotypical, but as I said before, they were not really characters at all, just bad actors playing dress-up.
The plot was awful, to the point of being nonexistent. It was like the "characters:" not really there, just a bad story pretending to be a plot.
The name of this horrific television show is called Sliders. This is not a rant. This is a Public Service Announcement (PSA). If you see a TV show called Sliders, in a shiny, silver box, please do not purchase it, no matter how forcefully the shiny box compels you to. It will short circuit your brain and make grey matter drip out of your nose.
(I got that last part from Fringe, from the episode called "No Brainer." It was gross).
Yeah. Sliders. It slid right out of my house and into the trash, and took an hour of my life along with it. Don't watch it.
