Sliders: Prophets and Loss (1998) Reviews

Armed with the knowledge that he was actually born on Kromagg Prime, Quinn (Jerry O'Connell) embarks upon an arduous journey through the wormholes of the universe to be reuinited with his birth parents and his brother Colin--and also to recover the technology that will liberate Earth Prime from the Kromagg's iron rule. Naturally, fellow "sliders" Maggie (Kari Wuhrer) and Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks) have come along for the ride, making their first stop on an alternate Earth where the populace apparently lives in peace and harmony. In truth, however, this world is ruled by despotic religious fundamenalists, whose "Enforcers" tell the people what to think and believe. Aligning themselves with a rebel group called the Radical Rationalists, the Sliders conduct a frantic search for the missing timer that will enable them to escape this repressive world--only to end up captured and sentenced to a horrific "reprogramming" session. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
