* InSpiteOfANail: One of the biggest of the series. Two sentient species, humans and Kromaggs, evolved on Kromagg Prime. In spite of this rather big historical divergence, that world seemingly still has Creator/RobinWilliams, the ''Literature/LandOfOz'' books (possibly the [[Franchise/LandOfOz many adaptations]] including [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the 1939 film]] too) and Eliot Ness and the Untouchables (again, possibly [[Series/TheUntouchables the television series]] and [[Film/TheUntouchables the film]] based upon their exploits as well).

* DespairEventHorizon: Rembrandt gives up all hope after learning the truth about the anti-Kromagg weapon. He's able to pull it together enough during the climax, but he's still quite depressed in the final scene.
* DownerEnding: With the anti-Kromagg weapon flawed, Rembrandt is left lamenting that he's run out of chances.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: The climax reveals the bunker is housing the anti-Kromagg weapon.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Larson initially believes the Sliders to be from his own world.

* ShaggyDogStory: The search for the anti-Kromagg weapon invented by Michael Mallory ends up becoming this in this episode: it is revealed that the weapon is very effective not only against the Kromaggs, but also against every other living thing on the planet. Rembrandt, who was looking for this weapon for over a year in hopes of saving Earth Prime is understandably bummed out.
