I love Sliders, but this episode is very bad.
It's premise relies on the idea that people who don't believe in gun control do not value life. Also, if Texas were to take over the United States the streets would be filled with shootings.
The initial concept is interesting. In this world, the state of Texas never joined the union, during the Civil War the independent country of Texas took over land from Southern states and became a powerful nation.
For some reason, restaurants only serve steak, country/western music is the only music, and everyone wears bolos and stetsons. Anyone with even a passing familiarity of Texas knows that this is tantamount to assuming everyone in Australia looks like Paul Hogan.
The characters blatantly state the political and social views of the writers; the show spends more time criticizing current social trends than advancing the plot.
A very poor episode from what is normally an excellent show.
