Ace of Death Your idea of mixing advanced alien tech and shadow vampire powers is pretty nifty. I'd want it to be when Jack was still on SG-1, though. There would definitely be some witty dialog between him and Integra. Throw into that the possibility of the vampire now being able to use wormholes. Seeing how both sides - Hellsing and SG-1 - work to return things to normal would be great. Sliders might be fun too.
Hmm...I do recall Sliders and I know I enjoyed the earlier seasons. I also know the later ones got really weird, but then I wasn't able to follow it regularly so I might have just been lost. They got more story arc oriented than episodic (much like Stargate, actually) and thus were harder to just sit and watch on impulse. I think the change came when Sci-Fi channel picked the show up. You're right, that device of theirs could cause all sorts of fun!
How much Stargate have you seen? I'm on season 8, I think. A friend lends me the discs seasons at a time but it's been a while since I sat to watch her latest loan. She got me to watch the pilot episode for SG-Atlantis at the appropriate time (after season 7, I think) but I didn't get into that offshoot series. I downright detested Stargate Command; it felt so wrong for Stargate, much more like a soap opera or drama than a sci-fi adventure show.

Sir_Catherine Jack is a must, I agree. Once upon a time I had quite a dialogue between the original, core, SG-1 team and Integra played out in my head. I never got it written down though.

You should share it with us if you ever get a moment to type it out. smile After Quin...got zapped into the other guy's body the show went down hill. I never liked the other guy as much as I liked the Q Ball. Not sure which SG season I stopped at. Jack got taken over by an alien device, I think. It was shortly before he got promoted...or whatever happened. The didn't hold much for me after he left. Ben Browder annoys me and made the whole thing feel too much like a Farscape/SG crossover for my liking. Atlantis was dull, IMO, and I just couldn't get up any interest in the characters. Never watched Command. Probably never will. Jack was my main reason for watching the series anyway.

If I ever get the vibe back and hammer it out, I will share it, promise.
I know who Quinn is, but can't figure out the "zapped into the other guy's body" part, I'll admit.
*makes sure of season number...* Yep, it was the season seven finale that I thought was terrific. That two part finale began with Jack and an alien device, which you mentioned. So I'm guessing you've seen the seventh season but not the eighth. The eighth season was actually pretty good, I thought. Different, as they were trying to transition to Command, but still good.
By the end I was watching for Jack and Samantha. Not as a "couple", but because those two were my favorite characters. Up until Daniel started bouncing back and forth between life and ascension he was a favorite, but then he annoyed me. Though the final bit of that matter did make a great episode...(Threads, season eight)

Couldn't remember the exact circumstances, but wiki came to the rescue again! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinn_Mallory Under the Unstuck Man. Personally I think the actor left the show. At that point it was like continuing X Files with no Mulder. Now that you mention it, I think I looked up the seasons and decided I hadn't seen 8, so you would be correct. Guess I need to watch it. Heh, you and I share the same opinion of the later part of SG. And the whole ascension thing always cracked me up, honestly. Seemed like a dues ex machina in a lot of ways.

Oh, no, I got your comment on Quinn totally wrong. I was thinking of Jonas Quinn, of Stargate, not Quinn of Sliders. rofl No wonder I couldn't place what you were talking about!
I agree; Sliders without Quinn just wouldn't work.
*takes a peek at the wiki link* Oh, yes, I recall the twin bit now. It was one of the confusing things that I thought ruined the show. Yep, seems the first three seasons were the good ones, especially the first two. That "invasion/civil war/not truly of Earth" bit in season four was also a dud line for my viewing experience. It was the alternate histories and social commentary episodes that were good to watch, for me, rather than the war and action oriented ones.
Ugh, yes, the ascension did reek of dues ex machina, especially when you consider it was really only a way to bring the actor back after his fit of ego made him leave the show. The first time was good and the last time was great, but much of the bouncing back and forth got old real fast. I do recall liking a particular episode, though, where Jack was in goa'uld hands being interrogated and Daniel is trying to support him in his unseen form but frustrated because he has no way to tell Jack he's present. Then again, that episode, despite having a partially ascended Daniel, focused around Jack and the goa'uld, not the quasi mystical.

So we have a notion how one might cross Hellsing with Stargate, but how about Sliders? Obviously they can slide into a universe where Hellsing exists, but most of our folk don't know about them, so how would the sliders get involved?
*ponders*
Slide into vampire trouble, I suppose, and encounter Hellsing as their inadvertent rescuers They get a wormhole opportunity in the middle of the vampire-Hellsing fight and try to get through it, but something prevents them. Perhaps a vampire grabs one of the group. So Hellsing sees the wormhole, a vampire escapes with one of the Sliders, the other vampires are destroyed and Hellsing takes the remaining Sliders back to HQ for questioning. Say...that doesn't sound like a bad set up, if I may say so myself. A bit standard, sure, but workable.

The first three seasons were the best. That's true of a lot of shows, though. Yeah, after it got less episodic and a lot of the one-ep storylines were exhausted, the show struggled. Ascending was an interesting concept, as was the limits on how they could affect the material world. Apophis was a great baddy, too, because of it. But like you say, it was overused with Daniel. I remember the ep you mentioned. It was a very good one. Felt sorry for Jack, though! It was a good ep for character development, though.

It's probably the most motivating for the Sliders crew. Also, they could slide into either Millennium's or Hellsing's headquarters. Say they slid from a world with strange creatures and one of them tagged along. Millennium might capture, or want to capture it, and weaponize it. Hellsing would want it destroyed and would probably consider the Sliders as enemies.

Hellsing would want it destroyed and would probably consider the Sliders as enemies. Wow, just wow. To start off I have seen Sliders but I can't recall many episodes. Simply the idea of Rping a character portrayed by Jerry O'Connell creates all sorts of twisted ideas. How would we ever get through session with out an obscure "Stand by me," reference? I was thinking the sliders concept would actually work. Schrodinger is the key for these two series to connect. You can place the characters from sliders where ever you would like. I think it is doctor that causes the connection between the two series. We could pull it back a bit before Schrodinger was created. This might be fun because we could play around a bit with Jan, Luke and Prof. Maximilian Arturo. I can just imagine it. Jan: Then I said this skull is just right. Prof. Arturo: I hate to interrupt you but, what is a Gimili. Why do you keep addressing me as one? Luke: Jan shut up! Never mind that professor. So what your saying is there could be a point in which I could have made captain? I didn't derail your conversation did I?
