Materializing on Earth 147, the Sliders find themselves smack in the middle of a Kromagg weapons test. Captured and threatened with torture, the three travelers are rescued by superior officer Kromanus (Stephen Macht), whose life Maggie (Kari Wuhrer) had saved earlier. Magnanimously, Kromanus puts the captives under light house arrest, allowing them to move about with relative freedom. This turns out to be a mixed blessing when the Sliders are swept up in a fierce military power struggle, and Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks) becomes a "dead man walking" when he uncovers the horrible truth about the Kromaggs' future plans for the human race. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Just as he is prepared to sell his old Dodge, Al (Ed O'Neill) is approached by an auto executive who offers him a chance to appear in a commercial--with a bikini model by his side--in which the Bundy's car hits the One Million Mile mark. Now it is up to Al to keep both the car and himself alive for the occasion, lest he lose his opportunity to drive home in a brand-new Viper. Elsewhere, Kelly (Christina Applegate) doesn't quite understand that "Where's Waldo" is a game and not a lifelong quest. This episode was trimmed for syndication after September 11, 2001, to remove an ominous reference to sabotage at the Sears Tower. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
