Title: Quantum Leap: Oh, how we miss thee.....
Post by: an0n on January 01, 2004, 02:43:48 am: What a kick-ass series. But only 5 seasons? What a rip-off.

Anyway, this is a nice little nostalgia thread prompted by my finding a few eps of Season 5 on KaZaA.

I really liked Quantum Leap. It actually had a believable premise and good writing.

The final episode kicked some major ass, with the closing line: "Dr. Sam Beckett Never Returned Home"

And Alia (the evil leaper) was awesome.

Ah, well. C'est la vie.........

I hear it was good.. my mom liked it.. although I was rather young to like it myself.

Post by: Stunaep on January 01, 2004, 04:39:16 am: well, yeah, I rather liked the series. The finale was awesome indeed. And there were some cool stuff.

So, bye-bye Quantum Leap. We miss you.

Post by: 01010 on January 01, 2004, 04:53:17 am: I loved it, one of the few Sci-Fi series that I watched from start to finish, the last episode indeed did kick ass. Though what a pisser.

What's funny though is that after first seeing him on Quantum Leap, I said to myself he was doomed to be a Trek captain. Afterall, with a name like Bakula that pretty much seals it. Mainly because so many actors in Trek have unconventional last names.

Post by: Beowulf on January 01, 2004, 04:51:07 pm: Sure it was good, but it's kind of like MacGyver.... you remember it a lot better than it actually was. When I watch MacGyver of Quantum Leap now, I realize how utterly corny the whole series were.

And the writing was not all that good.

Although I did enjoy watching it at the time.

Post by: an0n on January 01, 2004, 08:15:20 pm: Yes, that was.....odd.

And IIRC quantum leap died sometime in 93 but finished airing in 97 in some parts of the world. I could be wrong though.

Post by: vyper on January 01, 2004, 08:59:29 pm: I watched Q Leap while I was in hospital as a child while stuck in bed - up until then i loved the show but after that I lost heart. Was cool tho.

Post by: Rictor on January 02, 2004, 10:25:27 am: Sliders was better. Well, until the bajillionth season, when they completely lost anything resembeling a good story. Was great for a while, a long while.

Nope, Sam ( Becket ) was Bakula's character, the "guide" was Al Calavicci( Dean Stockwell ). Don't quote me for spelling tho.

Oh, I remember the first episode, now, was f'cking cool, he was the pilot for the X1, iirc?

Sliders had some good episodes (I loved the one where intelligence was treated like athletic ability) but it had some absolutely dreadful ones in the first season (USSR world, British colony world etc).

It was season 3 where it really went down the tubes with rip off after rip off of The Time Machine, Species, horror movies etc. How on Earth they managed to get 2 more seasons is beyond me. Even offering sexual favours from Kari Wuhrer & Sabrina Lloyd shouldn't have been enough to save them.
