    OK, a few additional thoughts… The second storyline (“meanwhile, back in the lab!”) is really dragging this show down. First, it takes away from the “leaping” narrative for the week. Subsequently, we don’t give a shit about Ben or the people whose lives he’s fallen into. Since this was the heart of the original series- we connected with Sam and felt that he cared about the people around him- it’s taking the soul out of the whole concept. Feels like a V8 engine missing 5 sparkplugs. Also, the writing on this second element is really terrible. Because they’re limited in the amount of time they have to spend here, it really feels like they’re just trying to jam two stories together, connectedness be damned. For instance, the most recent episode had the following climactic sequence back in ‘real time’: “Hey, the antagonist is at a house! Look, the door is unlocked. Wait, there’s a rug out of place and a basement hatch under it. Wow, there’s a lot of science-y stuff here, we should take some back with us. Hmm, the antagonist is calling me. Oh no, this place is booby-trapped and starting to blow up! Quick, try to grab something and get out! Whew, we made it out with a hard drive just in time! Hurry, let’s go back to the lab before any other person comes to see what’s happening.” If you watched it, you’ll know that it took longer for me to type that than the actual “action” was being portrayed on the screen. I’m sure that the actors involved are quite talented, but they’re not being given anything to work with. The writing feels like something you’d see in a terrible CBS procedural spin off… this past week, it felt like the “C” storyline from “CIS Tulsa”. Finally, a thought from a friend of mine (huge QL fan): “I’m really glad that they’re working to diversify the cast and the plots/situations, but it’s terrible that they’re still using such terrible stereotypes. Both of the super-smart characters are Asians. The African American is a weary guy who’s seen some things (a low-rent Murtaugh). There are three white characters- a sassy gay guy, the villain, and the girlfriend. Just lazy writing. No reason for me to be curious about them or interested in what they’re trying to do…”

    Just a hell of a missed opportunity. It almost feels like a community theatre production "Based on your favorite show from Donald Bellisario... the Spokane Players present 'Quantum Leaping'.
  3. Also really great copy for a Gold Bond advertisement campaign.

    Forgot to add... Reminds me a little of Early Edition, that CBS show Coach Taylor was on before he came to Dillon High School.

    Not too bad for a start... I miss some of the campiness, and I'm not sure if the extra cast is a good thing. Too bad he didn't leap into a place where they were watching Ghostbusters. Really miss Al's ridiculous stories, ex-wives and girlfriends. Great to see that Ziggy is still consistently inconsistent.
  6. Of course she'd feel that way. She's got Fred's feet.
  7. Hay! I'm betting that one weighs a lot less than most people seen in the WalMart. Who says neigh?
  8. He was a guest of JD Vance... who's running for office to represent the state of Ohio. So yeah- not the brightest bulbs.

    Wait... there were photos of her ass hair?
  11. I enjoyed both series, and both characters. That being said, Ruth Langmore was a one-note character, whereas Kim's developmental arc was much more significant. Hell, the scene on the shuttle bus exhibited a greater range of emotion and humanity within a little over a minute than we saw in entire seasons of Ozark.
  12. NowThis sadly nods knowingly
  13. Worth repeating:
  14. I mean, I guess having your tongue up Trump’s ass would technically impede your speech
  15. The update/edit on this video is amazing...
  16. I mentioned this to my Fox infected brother today- The BEST case scenario is that people were giving him empty folders to placate him, the way you give old pots and pans to a child who wants to play chef. So, instead of a traitor, he's merely an imbecile. And there's still room for both options to be true.
  17. This. They've also thwarted the "watch at 1.75 speed" option as well.
  18. "Dinosaur Nation" just killed me...
  19. Like any Fox viewers know what a library is, let alone a book. "Lie bury? That's where Hilary puts all of the files she stole from Hunter's laptop...."
  20. Hey! You put some respect on Edie McClurg's name.
