war game -- only the weapons and ammunition are very real. The Sliders

method to communicate with it.
The prince of slides
The Sliders land on a world where the monarchy still runs the country
and where men can and by law are required to, carry the fetus for the

double, a Duke, the Duchess has her fetus transferred to him. But all
is not well in the kingdom as someone is trying to make sure Rembrandt
doesn't live long enough to give birth.
Dead man sliding
The Sliders land on a world where legal disputes are settled not in
a court of law, but on televised game shows. When Quinn gets into trouble,
he finds himself on the show and at the mercy of the "host", the "People's

mistaken identity, Quinn is arrested, tried and sentenced to death on
TV, leaving the other Sliders scrambling to find the real culprit--Quinn's
double.

secret. They must confront a hungry underground beast.
Capt. Maggie Beckett
The exodus (part 1)

for an antidote.
The breeder
During a short stop on a very strange world, the Sliders unknowingly

organ donors. When the creature makes an attempt to reproduce, it gives
itself away and the others must destroy it without hurting their new
friend.
