Why is everyone so surprised to see PrimeX?
A. PrimeX was a lackey of Spqqky in Mr. Ngo, and perhaps Phil’s greatest personal foe. He was whisked away in a magenta vortex, along with all the tank drone toys, when the Skidders from TFWW showed up in a conveniently plot-driven moment. In Sliders, the inspiration for the spoof Skidders, whenever a magenta vortex swallowed something whole it was meant to show plot-wise how incredibly dangerous the situation was. No one ever returned from a magenta vortex. But when the Sliders changed wormholes, suddenly every episode was a magenta vortex episode, which I guess is more artistic irony than an oversight. PrimeX actually found his way home, which is a no-no in any cross-dimensional story.
