Invasion
The Sliders arrive in a parallel world where something is
interfering with the Timer. It is a UFO-like craft.
Quinn uses the timer and in turn interferes with the craft, which crashes.
Quinn and Arturo are too curious, and enter the spacecraft. They find the
body of an alien, actually a Kromagg. Arturo triggers an alarm by touching
the Kromagg's technological bracelet. Kromaggs, we find out, are cousins
of Homo Sapiens, i.e. Homo Cromagnon from which Kromagg is derived.
Only on this parallel world have Kromaggs evolved, while Homo Sapiens
never evolved. The Sliders slide to another world, where America is called
New France. Suddenly a tunnel opens, created by the Kromaggs who have
mastered Sliding technology. They capture the Sliders and take them back
to their Kromagg homeworld. They are interrogated, tricked into seeing
loved ones etc, but the information the Kromaggs seek, basically where
the Sliders' homeworld is located, cannot be obtained simply because they
do not know its coordinates. The Sliders manage to escape with the help
of a 'slave' asian human Mary (a native of some other parallel world
which has fallen under the control of the Kromaggs), but they do not
know that it has been orchestrated by the Kromaggs. They did it on
purpose to find out where the Sliders' homeworld is located.
The episode ends on a shivering note.
