Jean-Marc Lofficier's trilogy:
        The Programme Guide (3rd ed.) - A list of all the episodes through
                              Survival as well as quite a few NAs.
        The Terrestrial Index - A list of other Who stuff (comics, etc..)
                                Not as useful, but interesting.
        The Universal Databank - An encyclopedia, very thick, full of
                                 interesting facts.
and, my most recent Who reference book is The DIScontinuity Guide, which
is a good complement to The Programme Guide, and a whole lot funnier. :)
There are also numerous hardbacks, none of which I have found as handy
as the paperbacks.  You'll also see handbooks for the various Doctors.
They have some interesting trivia in them, but I don't like them all
that much myself. :)

Don't worry you didn't miss much.  The basic 2 plot threads were the A
story of Garibaldi locating a missing tech working in 'Grey 17' which
apparantly isn't supposed to exist and finding Robert Englud and his
bunch of loony followers.
The B story (and far better story) had Naroon, the head of the Minbari
warrior cast threatning to kill Delenn so he can take charge of the
Rangers.  Marcus gets a right pasting in this episode.
The tribute was the Zarg monster in the Grey story - it was a pathetic
man in a suit rubber monster - remember the awful moment when the
lumbering creature embarrasingly shuffled into view in Caves of
Androzani?  You get the picture...

He seems pretty likeable.  Although the nerd Mr Goruish? (spelling) is
insanely irritating in every dimension.
What doesn't do well in the US usually goes straight to video in the UK.
Although it might have been me, but the 2nd Sliders episode ended with
Jerry O'Connell's character landing in a dimension where his father was
still alive - yet the third episode we got was the Asteroid one.  Looks
like BBC have been playing "shuffle the episode order" again.
Although I've been busy of late, so I could have possibly inadvertnly
missed an episode, but I don't think so.  UK viewers clarify this?
