What is that thing with pale hair?
Oh, a non-binary psycho?
Amazing.

I am glad to see Hudson's back, but everything involving propaganda or transqueer cultshit can go the same way **** goes in a toilet.
Down. The. Drain.

I think it's a lady that wants to be non conformative or something..

I wouldn't even be surprised if it was a woman acting 'non binary' because there are so few of those weirdo's out there.

superstaff · 05-16-2022, 01:25 PM

I mean...

I kind of don't...care.

The Project Quantum Leap members (Gooshie, Dr. Beeks, etc) were mostly unseen in the original. They appeared but not often at all, and were mostly mentioned by Al. If the new ones are going to appear in every episode, that will be very annoying... Hudson is the new 'Al', right? I think his dynamic with the new Sam is what will make or break the show...along with the writing, and the overall feel of it. I like the idea of Ernie Hudson in the role, though I'm not really hopeful the show's going to be as good as the original.

Maybe instead of 1 guy bouncing between dimensions, it's a whole team bouncing between dimensions together? Like Sliders?

But then...it's Sliders, as you said, not QL.

I wouldn't put it past them, though I think what they might do is have the QLP members come out more...which would also break the show. Seems very messy, and dumb if true.

What would be the point of making it a Quantum Leap related, than?
Oh, wait, modern media with their own "original" takes on old concepts.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-16-2022, 10:47 PM

Doesn't look bad at all, I'll definitely give it a go. I have no problem with "the message" as long as it's well written, and the original QL was always woke and could get unbearably preachy sometimes looking back.

It better have an alphabet rap.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-16-2022, 11:54 PM

I bet Bakula will be in it as a surprise thing. He's not busy. They've made it a point to say it's a continuation. They obviously would have asked him and it wouldn't be a no.

Probably nothing huge, though.

There is world of difference between "woke" than and "woke" now.

I don't think the original was woke...

A little preachy maybe, but not woke.

I think people are beginning to misuse what woke actually means. Sigh.

Plot details for the reboot...:

https://deadline.com/2022/06/quantum...ne-1235054476/

Quote:

“Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it. At Ben’s side throughout his leaps is Addison (Caitlin Bassett), who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and hear. She’s a decorated Army veteran who brings level-headed precision to her job.

At the helm of the highly confidential operation is Herbert “Magic” Williams (Ernie Hudson), a no-nonsense career military man who has to answer to his bosses who won’t be happy once they learn about the breach of protocol. The rest of the team at headquarters includes Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park), who runs the Artificial Intelligence unit “Ziggy,” and Jenn Chou (Nanrisa Lee), who heads up digital security for the project.

As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right what once went wrong, it becomes clear that he and the team are on a thrilling journey. However, Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben’s leap and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.”

So...Ernie Hudson's character, Magic, won't be Ben's 'Al' after all. That is super disappointing. Not only was Magic a legacy character, I think Ernie Hudson was an excellent choice for someone that could potentially match Dean Stockwell's charm and likability in the role of the leaper's companion.

Blah.
