New Articles from the Sci-Fi Archives

In 2005, Earth Prime received a box containing the Sci-Fi Channel’s press files pertaining to Sliders. They were clearing out unneeded items from their offices and generously donated their Sliders material. After a slight delay, Earth Prime has sorted through the contents.

While the majority of these files were little more than news clippings retyped from press releases, there were some items of interest: interviews with cast and crew, editorials and magazine features regarding the series. These have been added to the EP.COM Article Archive.

Standouts include an interview with Sabrina Lloyd reacting to Season 4, an extensive interview with Kari Wuhrer and interviews with Charlie O’Connell and Cleavant Derricks. All articles were scanned and run through the quick and accurate OCR process in ABBYY FineReader software (plug plug plug!).

Enjoy revisiting the past in the articles below!
