Quantum Leap reboot, La Brea, and other cheesy TV sci fi

[danny la rouge]

I didn’t know this existed. Just found it on Paramount Plus. I’m watching the first episode. So far it’s a whole episode of awkward expedition dialogue. It’s terrible. I love it.

You should be watching random episodes, jumping about without any idea what episode you land on.

I liked the original, would be interesting to see this reboot, but I am not about to subscribe to Paramount Plus, TBH.

I guess the owner of Worthing's first cannabis cafe was also a fan, as he named the cafe - Quantum Leaf.

For the QL reboot? I wouldn’t.

Oh boy....

Felt kind of sorry for Dean Stockwell that he was probably more widely known for QL than any of the v good films he was in. Guess it was ever like that though.

 

[danny la rouge]

Fuck, it’s fucking gone! Why? I was looking forward to bingeing more of it! Fucking Paramount +!

I would guess either crap ratings or lost rights to another streamer.

Crap I was a few episodes in and was going to back to it. I was looking forward to more episodes of him holding tight to handles and swaying. I mean set in space.

Well they should fucking tell me! He’d just gone back to the Old Wild West, and I wanted to see an old set from some other show being reused!

And the reboot of Battlestar Galactica!

Didn't get that far. I think Sam did that by leaping into his Grandad.

 

[danny la rouge]

Well, I’m happy to report I’ve found something even worse! La Brea. It’s got unrealistic CGI, wooden dialogue, daytime soap acting, melodrama, and a bonkers plot. It’s terrible. I love it.

 

[danny la rouge]

Did I mention? People fall down a sinkhole into a primeval world. And some don’t.

 

[danny la rouge]

OMG, the “next time” preview! It’s corny as all fuck! I’m hooked!

 

[danny la rouge]

Episode two now. Something amazing is happening!

Spoiler

They're carbon dating a metal ring! lol. You need organic material to carbon date. Love it.

Not sure the spoiler's strictly necessary as suspect you're on your own with this one.

Spoiler

Just because we can't carbon date metal doesn't mean they haven't found a way...

What’s wrong with people? Don’t you want to watch a bad cross between Primeval and The Lost World?

 

[girasol]

I loved QL back in the day, but probably because there wasn't much else on TV at the time... I wonder how it's aged... They should put it on Netflix or something.

And, then remove it as soon as danny has watched the first episode.

Do you have hearts of stone?

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh boy, not another reboot

Ziggy says there’s a 95% chance some of you will enjoy La Brea.

You've clearly leaped from the regular reality where the Quantum Leap reboot exists to a parallel universe where the Quantum Leap remake was never made. I think you now need to fix something, or something? I dunno, not watched it since the original was on when I was a kid so my memory of what he does in between leaping is a bit shaky.

Sam, or perhaps Jeff, almost certainly changed things for the better.

Torrent it like everyone else.

He doesn't. Once he's fixed the problem in one he leaps into another time.

No.
