Finally, I get to post.
I found two nits, one leading into the other, right at the end of the show.
But first, a quick recap. (Hey, this is fun!) The Sliders land on a world where a great war wiped out technology. The world is in shambles, and everyone is threatened by a modern-day Viking. (Altho he isn't blonde and he's not from Sweden or Norway or whatever.) Our heroes land on an island, apparently inhabited only by a no-tech monastery (altho there are girls). However, it turns out that this monastery has a "Great Work" - they are putting on computer all the history of the world and the secrets of technology, so that future generations will have a chance.
Okay, on to the nits, small one first.
The Viking pirates attack the island. All the information (rooms and rooms of it) is loaded onto one crystal. (That's the big nit.) The crystal is given to a guy and girl to take far away, so that the raiders can't get hold of it. There just happens to be a boat that they can take. So, they go out to the boat.
Now, one would think, if you were running from a fight, that you would tend to hurry. They don't. The guy has to talk the girl into getting into the boat - no hurry, nice discussion. She gets in and he starts pushing the boat into the water. Again, no hurry. Why should there be - they're only running from an angry horde! Not only that, they have a nice discussion about where they should go - conveniently forgetting the GREAT BIG SHIP the raiders came in! I would think the first thing would be to get out of sight.
Okay, now the big nit - that nice data crystal. The Sliders are told that all this information is being loaded onto CDs (basically) made of silica - sand. Well, they're on an island, they have lots of it. But, it takes up lots of space and the discs are very fragile. Diana, the scientist, says that she can help them transfer it to a big quartz crystal, which are also plentiful on the island. So she jury-rigs a set-up, they start transferring data - and the pirates come calling. Okay, we're not even going to discuss how she actually manages to fit those rooms and rooms of data on the crystal. She does, it's given to the kids, they're sent off to keep it safe. One BIG question: How are they supposed to read it? Diana set up the data transfer; no one else knows how to do it. Besides which, these kids are going out into a world that's supposed to be back practically in the Dark Ages? How are they expecting to read this data, that was loaded using technology from another world?
Too bad. It was a pretty good show before that.
