Sliders (TV Series) The Dream Masters (1996) User Reviews

First Bad Episode of Sliders

[Athanatos173 · 4/10 · 6 January 2014]

The episode was horribly written and there was no logical reason why anyone would fear these people. They all gathered in one place so one explosion would solve the Dream Master problem on this world.

The episode itself had no real resolution, as the Dream Master they defeated in the dream was shown walking outside the dream with his sleeve burning, very much alive, and Cardoza wasn't shown at all. So what do they do? They all go to sleep again after the battle in which they didn't really get rid of the threat.

I was left wondering if this was a 2 part episode as the end was laughable to say the least.

Revenge of the Nerds

[NickBOKC · 8/10 · 25 January 2022]

I actually enjoyed this episode. It was a little far-fetched but kept me entertained. The group lands on a world where a gang of bitter nerds were given the power to enter people's dreams. Their leader was a university research outcast who took them under his wing, and now they are emboldened. The community is terrified of these nerds turned killers, but they started a beef with the wrong sliders! I believe that this is the first episode where the show ends with them not sliding to another parallel world.

A bad ripoff of nightmare on elms street.

[sb-38 · 3/10 · 9 January 2007]

A bad ripoff of nightmare on elms street. It's where the show started to deteriorate I'm afraid. The sliders are on a world where there are a group of people who can enter other people dreams and kill them and other nasty things with them. Sliders fight those dream masters by uniting together in dream to protect Wade, who was attacked by Dream Masters. There are some inconsistencies which make watching this episode less pleasant. It would have been much better if they made less episodes, in 3-d season, but of higher quality. It's also a one more big step back from pure scientific world view these series had initially. But it looks like this trend will continue further into episodes.
