* In "Summer of Love," the Sliders barely escape an incoming swarm of [[BeeAfraid the dreaded spider-wasps]]. However, right after Quinn and Arturo emerge from the vortex onto the next world, several spider-wasps are shown flying right out. So few probably wouldn't have the same effect as on the previous world, but they would still be enough to cause significant damage. More so if one happened to be "queen" potential!

* Given how much Wade clearly enjoyed being on Feminist World in ''The Weaker Sex,'' going as far as to state to Arturo that she always felt like she was worth less on our world because of her sex; why would she ever want to continue sliding after this point? Her choice is between a world in which she is somebody, or continuing on her journey back to a world in which she works a dead end job in a society that she thinks treats women badly? And what compounds this issue is that a mere three episodes later when they land on Lottery World in ''Luck of the Draw'' she openly admits that she is thinking of staying there because she is tired of sliding.

* Given how the system of breeding camps in the episode ''Love Gods'' is so inefficient that Arturo actually lampshades it there is a far more sinister interpretation: the men are there because they've become a commodity. After all, value is more often than not a concept based on rarity; the less of something there is, the more expensive it becomes - and there are probably a lot of desperate women out there who would spend a large sum of money to have a child or just to have sex with a man. Why give away what you can charge for? And as horrible as it may sound to describe human beings this way, we know that there are still plenty of heterosexual women around as Quinn, Arturo and Rembrandt are nigh on sexually assaulted in the street the moment they arrive. It really does not seem all that unlikely that whilst some of the women who are chosen to go to these places to reproduce are hand-picked because of their genes; most are there only because they're rich or are well-connected. Plus, you've got to figure that a lot of the women in charge only got there because all the men above them died (this is the 1990s after all). And many of them may not be all that keen on sharing the throne just yet.

* For all the debate about which Arturo slid, the series left one clue that resides in this trope. In Season 3's "The Guardian," [[spoiler:Arturo says he has just seen his first American football game]], but in Season 1's "Summer of Love," [[spoiler:Arturo knew the context of "wish-bone" and seemed very familiar with the sport in general.]] Both episodes were written by Tracy Tormé, who whenever asked about this, would reply along the lines with "Maybe you're on to something." [[spoiler:In 2009, Tormé stopped implying and [[WordOfGod outright said]] that it was the alt-Arturo who ended up with the Sliders.]]

** This very much seems to be episode in which many threads of the [[spoiler: Alt-Arturo plot]] appear to be building up to a resolution (and perhaps if Torme hadn't left the show a few episodes later who knows how this would have played out). The most notable of which is the disease that he contracts at the start of the episode where he is given at most a year to live - and his first response is to run instead of sticking with his friends [[spoiler: which is a very Alt-Arturo thing to do.]] And yet with some very basic encouragement by Quinn, he decides to stick with his new friends instead of running, proving that his HeelFaceTurn from coward to hero was well underway. This would eventually cumulate in the events of ''The Exodus'' where he proves once and for all that he has made up for his sins. The disease itself may also have been a clue: for both Quinn and us it comes out of nowhere, but just perhaps, [[spoiler: that's because the real Arturo was perfectly healthy and Alt-Arturo was the one that lost this lottery.]]
