Re: December 2003- Quantum Leap Crossovers
Well, I've mentioned it to a few people, but I might as well mention it again...
I've had a great idea for a QL/Sliders crossover brewing in my head for many years now, but never got around to writing the darn thing. The two shows are so similar, it's scary: each episode revolves around the hero/heroes traveling to a different situation every week with no control over where they go, and they keep hoping their next leap/slide will be the one that brings them back home. This is what initially drew me to Sliders in the first place: how similar it seemed to QL, except instead of traveling through time, the Sliders traveled between parallel universes. And just like in QL, they finally made it home in the 4th season premiere only to have to leave again; Sam began leaping in 1995, Quinn and company began sliding in 1995; Sliders was also distributed by Universal AND it lasted 5 seasons, to boot. It just seems natural and logical for the two series to cross over. Of course, the producers of Sliders really screwed the show up during the last season, but that's another story...
To be honest, I'm still holding off on writing it because of the way I originally envisioned this as. Part 1 is set up like a Sliders episode (with Sam only showing up halfway through) and Part 2 is set up like a QL episode (with a few things in the status quo mixed up to make it interesting). I'm hoping to finally write in some form or another someday for all of you to read. Okay, enough about that. Anyone else?
