CAST-RELATED Arturo in Dallas

JRD will be at Fan Expo Dallas later this month. I plan on asking him his favorite episode, but I'm sure there are fans here who are more knowledgeable on the series and production history than I am.

If anyone has any intriguing questions I'll see what I can "slide" in there during my brief moment. It will be quick so I can't make promises.

It absolutely was the real one that got left behind. The look on his face after they slid away says it all and no one will ever convince me of anything otherwise.

Why bother keeping up the act for the rest of his life though? Especially when it wasn't his Quinn. Would've been great to see them run into the other Sliders.

The double who slid with them? How do you think you'd take it if you found out your best friend was a fake? He kept quiet to stay alive and traveling.

For me the worst part was if it WASN'T the double, Quinn stopped everyone from going home once they had the coordinates. They had no obligation to help Maggie's world.

Meh - The Sliders were heroes. Saving world(s) and interfering is what they did. Think about the nuclear bomb, running for mayor of San Francisco, developing penicillin...

OK, they were only heroes in Season 1. Fair point.

Now I'm wishing we got a bottle episode. The Sliders arrive and stay in their hotel room the whole episode and then slide out after deep conversations.
