Synopsis

Maximillian P. Arturo was born in England during the early 1940s. England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland The 1940s decade ran from 1940 to 1949 Events and trends The 1940s was a period between the radical 1930s and the conservative 1950s which also leads the period to be (His driver's license, shown in "Summer of Love," indicates that his birthdate is September 23. The following is a list of episodes for the Fox and Sci Fi Channel original series Sliders. Events 1122 - Concordat of Worms. 1459 - Battle of Blore Heath, the first major battle of the English ) When he was a young child, his aunt's house was bombed while he and his mother were staying there. Both Arturo's mother and aunt were killed. His only memories of this incident were his mother's dead body being pulled off him. Since his father was fighting a war in India at the time, there was no way for Arturo to be identified, so he was put in an orphanage. India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country After the war ended Arturo's father came to get him. (Reference: "Season's Greedings")

Arturo served in his country's armed forces as a young adult. After completing his service, Arturo emigrated to the United States, where he pursued graduate studies in physics, and met fellow student Christina Fox, whom he later married. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Christina died of a brain aneurysm when she was 27 (Reference: "Eggheads"). The brain is the center of the Nervous system in animals All Vertebrates and the majority of Invertebrates have a brain An aneurysm (or aneurism) is a localized blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall The following is a list of episodes for the Fox and Sci Fi Channel original series Sliders. Arturo had a son; however, it is not revealed in the show whether or not Christina Fox was the mother (Reference: "Into the Mystic"). " Into the Mystic " is a song written by Northern Irish Singer-songwriter Van Morrison and featured on his 1970 album Moondance At the beginning of "Sliders," Arturo was Regents professor of cosmology and ontology at the fictional California University. The following is a list of episodes for the Fox and Sci Fi Channel original series Sliders. Distinguished Professor is an Honorary title at many universities for faculty who are recognized by colleagues throughout the world as leaders in their fields Physical cosmology, as a branch of Astronomy, is the study of the large-scale structure of the Universe and is concerned with fundamental questions about its In Philosophy, ontology (from the Greek, genitive: of being (part

As a travelling companion, Arturo was arrogant, hot-tempered, and pompous, often referring to people who failed to meet his expectations as "blistering idiots. " But he was not without a soft spot, particularly toward individuals he perceived as kindred intellects. Having been estranged from his son before he began sliding, Arturo had expressed that he wished Quinn were his son. Quinn R Mallory is a Fictional character on the Science fiction Television show Sliders, played by Jerry O'Connell. ^[1] Arturo was somewhat resentful of Quinn, jealous of Quinn's greater intelligence,^[2] as well as the fact that Quinn (and not Arturo) invented sliding.

In 1996, when the Sliders mistakenly believed they had landed home, Arturo's double attempted to impersonate him. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Quinn, Wade, and Rembrandt never knew whether they took the right Arturo sliding with them or not. Wade Kathleen Welles, a fictional character on the show Sliders played by Sabrina Lloyd, is from San Francisco, and worked at Doppler Computer Rembrandt Lee Brown was a Fictional character played by Cleavant Derricks on the Science fiction television show Sliders (Reference: "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome") Later that year, Arturo was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and attempted to stop sliding. The following is a list of episodes for the Fox and Sci Fi Channel original series Sliders. He continued to slide because Quinn needed him, and Quinn was more fearful of his friend and mentor's death than Arturo himself was. (Reference: "The Guardian") In mid-1997, while on an alternate Earth that was to be destroyed by a pulsar, Arturo was shot by ruthless Marine Colonel Angus Rickman. Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating Neutron stars that emit a beam of Electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves A number of characters reoccurred on Sliders, the science fiction show Rickman initially tried to shoot Quinn, but Arturo took the bullet for him. His last words to Quinn were, "Get them [Rembrandt and Wade] home . . . Sliders. " (Reference: "The Exodus, Part Two")

Since the Sliders never determined which Arturo they took in "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome," it is possible the Arturo from Earth Prime is still alive, as Rembrandt said at the end of the episode, "We've got an Arturo and we don't even know which one!"

Beliefs

In the episode "Into The Mystic," Arturo expresses strong opposition to the ideas that any supernatural phenomena (such as psychics) around the Sliders were real. The following is a list of episodes for the Fox and Sci Fi Channel original series Sliders. Earth Prime, a term used in the television show Sliders, is the name of the alternate Earth where the four original sliders ( Quinn Mallory, Wade Welles " Into the Mystic " is a song written by Northern Irish Singer-songwriter Van Morrison and featured on his 1970 album Moondance The word psychic (ˈsaɪkɨk from the Greek psychikos—"of the soul mental" refers to the claimed ability to perceive things hidden from the normal senses He believed that all that is perceived as "supernatural" is an illusion designed to fool the simple-minded. However, in the episode "Obsession," Arturo found it interesting that a psychic saved the life of the world's Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln (February 12 1809 &ndash April 15 1865 the sixteenth President of the United States, successfully led his country through its greatest internal

Wrong Arturo

When it was left as a possibility that a double of Arturo's had slid instead of the Earth Prime Arturo, controversy has been generated among fans about which Arturo actually slid ^[3]. Earth Prime (or Earth-Prime) is a term sometimes used in works of Speculative fiction involving parallel universes or a multiverse, and refers The show's creator, Tracy Tormé, has stated that he has decided which Arturo slid, but will not reveal which one. Tracy R Tormé, is an American Screenwriter and Television producer of such works as Saturday Night Live, Odyssey 5, However, he said there are clues in the episodes ^[4]. Due to Tormé losing control of the show and then leaving the following year, this issue was never resolved.

Because the show was much more popular when Arturo was in the cast ^[5], and the "Wrong Arturo Theory" creates a loophole that can easily bring the character back, the idea of the "Wrong" Arturo joining the group and subsequently dying is the dominant belief in fan written fiction. This article is not about Literary canons of influential works of fiction but about the concept of a canon which defines the world of a particular fictional series

In the famous scene, the vortex had opened on Quinn's front lawn as the Arturos had a showdown. Quinn wanted to "take them both (and) sort it out after we slide," but one of the Arturos said "Like hell we will," and attacked his counterpart. After a brief scuffle, one of the Arturos slugged the other one and jumped into the vortex alongside Quinn. Once the vortex closed, the remaining Arturo said "Oh my god" with a worried look on his face.

Casting

In the DVD audio commentary on the Sliders pilot episode, series creators Tracy Tormé and Robert K. Weiss revealed that the character of Maximillian Arturo was very nearly played by actors other than John Rhys-Davies — Hector Elizondo was in fact the producers' final choice for the role prior to auditioning Rhys-Davies, but ultimately passed, due to the filming location. Robert K Weiss is an American film and Television producer. His productions include films by director John Landis, producer Lorne Michaels Héctor Elizondo (born December 22, 1936) is a Golden Globe -nominated and Emmy Award -winning American actor At one point, Elizondo went on a late-night talk show and mentioned that "I [would be] doing Sliders right now, except for one word: 'Vancouver'. Vancouver (vænˈkuːvɚ is a coastal "

Also on the DVD commentary, Weiss and Tormé reveal that other actors who were considered for the role included Ricardo Montalban and David Ogden Stiers (who was reportedly one of the chief finalists). Ricardo Gonzálo Pedro Montalbán Merino KCSG (born November 25, 1920) is a Mexican Television, Theatre, and Film David Ogden Stiers (born October 31, 1942) is an American Actor, Voice actor and Musician, noted for his role in the
