King Rembrandt

The sliders land on a world where Rembrandt is the presumed dead king of rock. This is a hilarious episode, especially when Rembrandt is abducted by a former band member. The guy is not only jealous but mentally unstable to say the least. The real Rembrandt comes out of hiding to meet the newly arrived Rembrandt. Will Rembrandt stay on this world to live the life of fame and fortune that he has always wanted, or will the real Rembrandt want his throne back? This was such a fun episode, especially the ending.
