Ep 7. In Dino Veritas

In Dino Veritas is the 7th episode of the second season of the science fiction television series Sliders. This episode follows the adventures of a group of travelers who are able to "slide" between parallel universes, where they encounter vastly different versions of Earth.

In this episode, the team arrives in a world where humans never evolved, but dinosaurs still rule the planet. The sliders soon find themselves on the run from a tyrannosaurus rex, but are saved by a group of humanoid creatures who ride primitive motorcycles. The creatures, who call themselves "dino-riders," take the sliders to their village and introduce them to their leader, a wise old dino-rider named Dinothunder.

Dinothunder explains that his people have lived in harmony with the dinosaurs for generations, and have even developed a form of communication with them. The sliders are fascinated by this unique culture, but their presence attracts the attention of a group of humans who have built a scientific research station nearby. The humans, who are led by a brash scientist named Professor Rickman, are convinced that the dinosaurs are the key to unlocking secrets of the universe, and will stop at nothing to capture them.

Tensions rise as the sliders struggle to find a way to protect their new friends from the humans, while also trying to find a new way to slide to another world. Meanwhile, Wade becomes increasingly attached to a young dino-rider named Arlo, and must make a difficult choice when he is threatened by Professor Rickman's forces.

In Dino Veritas is a thrilling and action-packed adventure through a unique world that is inhabited by both intelligent creatures and prehistoric beasts. The episode is notable not only for its special effects and makeup, which bring the dinosaurs and dino-riders to life, but also for its exploration of themes such as communication, cooperation, and the importance of protecting unique cultures and environments. Overall, the episode is a standout in the Sliders series, and offers a thrilling and thought-provoking viewing experience for fans of science fiction and adventure.
