There is no tomorrow

Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, the team slides into a dimension where a massive asteroid will slam into the earth in two days. The team is not scheduled to slide again for three days. This asteroid, named Yeoman 2956, is so large that the earth will be destroyed. For months, scientists have been searching for a solution. The Professor attends one of their news conferences and a wild looking young man interrupts the conference by shouting to the scientists that a nuclear bomb could destroy the asteroid. He is coldly told that such a bomb is not possible as Einstein proved. Knowing that nuclear bombs are indeed possible, the Professor meets the young man, Bennish, and together they work on developing a detonator for the A bomb. At the same time, Sabrina and Quinn return to his house of this dimension and try to get the slider mechanism to activate earlier than the three days. It's interesting how people react to what they think will be their last day on earth - some participate in wild partying and some go to church; Rembrandt does both but ends up in church. The Professor and Rembrandt characters are the most interesting and vivid characters in the show. Even though the episode has huge plot gaps, it's just plain fun to watch.

The End is Nigh
NickBOKC13 March 2022
The group lands on a world whose inhabitants are running around in a frenzy. They soon discover that an asteroid is headed their way in two days. The problem? They slide in three days. Rembrandt finds solace in a church, Quinn and Wade get close in his alternate's basement, and Professor Arturo helps Mr. Bennish, a hippie physicist on this world, correctly build an atom bomb to destroy the asteroid. The end is absolutely terrifying. If only Einstein had done what he did on our world! This was a great episode and really makes you think about what could have been. The group dynamic is working well so far. I especially enjoy it when they all land on the plump professor during a slide.

Last Days
Prismark1013 August 2020
Three years before Deep Impact and Armageddon.

The Slider arrive several days before an asteroid hits Earth. The world is in chaos as this is an alternate Earth where there are no nuclear weapons.

Professor Arturo recognises a young man called Bennish who invades a press conference and tells the scientists that a nuclear bomb could destroy the asteroid.

Arturo and Bennish work together to create a nuclear bomb. After all Arturo has the knowledge.

Rembrandt decides to go and party with the others in this doomsday scenario but discovers that the party lifestyle is not for him.

The heroics is from Professor Arturo in this episode. It is a good problem solving episode even if the science is far fetched. Quinn and Wade working out their relationship is a dull sideshow.

Out With a Fizzle

The premise is an interesting one but they didn't do anything very imaginative with the "end of the world" concept.

The professor is the star in this one.

Loses points for me because of the stupidly forced love angle between Quinn & Wade. It's so unnecessary I have to roll my eyes every time.
