Learned about it not too long ago and apparently the made for tv movie from early 90s is on YouTube so I’ll watch it tonight or tomorrow. It’s about a woman from a parallel earth and apparently Sliders was accused of ripping off the story. I loved Sliders by the way except for the ridiculous idea to make it the Cro-Mag show in later seasons. One of my favorite science fiction subgenres are multiverse/alternate history stories. It’s what got me to read up on quantum physics and multiverse theories.
But anyway I’m gonna check out Doorways as well as Space Above and Beyond (been on this kick of watching short lived shows lately).
I'm reminded of the greatest space battle in "Irresponsible Captain Tylor". The entire thing was positioning of ships and objectives, on both sides, for most of it. The series had fun dogfights on occasion, but for the true space naval combat, it was all posturing and positioning, you don't actually fire many weapons in a real space battle (after all, they'd keep going and eventually hit SOMETHING if they missed the target, and that's bad).
Just make sure to position yourself so that the enemy is between you and a xenos world.
Win/win, problem solved.
