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

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

So does that mean that once Danny's fixed the problem, the rest of us will be able to watch it but he won't?

 

[WouldBe]

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

It's quantum leaped elsewhere.

 

[Sue]

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

It's quantum leaped elsewhere.

Coincidence that QL disappears just as La Brea appears? I think not!

 

[moochedit]

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

If it's still on paramount+ next time there is some new star trek stuff to watch then i'll consider it!

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.

I'm watching series three vaguely at the moment.

 

[Boudicca]

La Brea is complete rubbish, but I've watch series 1&2 and now ginger_syn has told me the third series is out, I'm going to have to vaguely watch that too.

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

I was clearly wrong!

I want to watch the old Quantum Leap now

I want to watch the old Quantum Leap now ;(

It’s on Now/Sky

 

[Agent Sparrow]

It’s on Now/Sky

I do not have Now/Sky

I forget people don’t just get all the streamers like I do.
You can also buy it on Apple or Amazon, but you might as well torrent it. Probs less bother.

Having got two episodes into the second series of Russian Doll, it strikes me that the second series of Russian Doll is also definitely a Quantum Leap reboot.

Is the second series a smaller version of the first?

It’s full of itself.

La Brea is complete rubbish,

It’s appalling. I’m watching more now. I love it.

 

[MickiQ]

You're tempting me to watch it now

Do you have hearts of stone?

I've been watching Season 1 of the new Quantum Leap and I really like it. Episode three delivers, and episode 6 is a spin on The Exorcist that is a lot of fun. The way they've continued the original storyline without getting bogged down delivering easter eggs or attempting to be all things to all fans is refreshing. It's quite old fashioned, not trying to be too clever, and plays out as pure entertainment. It's still an episodic high tech Highway to Heaven with endless possibilities for where it can go. I'm all the way in on this one.

I watched a couple of episodes - you are bang on!

I've got a couple of episodes of Ms Marvel and the last 4 or 5 episodes of Walking Dead: World Beyond S2 to finish (don't want to watch too many different things at once) and then it is next on my list, quite looking forward to it now.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

He’d just gone back to the Old Wild West,

I enjoyed that episode.

 

[skyscraper101]

I used to live in 'Park La Brea' - pretty much exactly where the the sinkhole in La Brea is - near the tar pits. Fun fact.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

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.

Watched La Brea Season 1 Episode 1 it did not disappoint. Troubled Dad seeing visions who every one thinks is crazy yet is a skilled pilot, Mum sacrificing herself to save her daughter, Son who would have escaped if he hadn't stop to help a cute kid. Loads of great character stereotyping in there. I expect the black guy with mental issues, the female cop and the kid who locked himself in the car to all die horribly over the course of the season.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

La Brea is the B-disaster TV show of all time...

How much did they have to spend per episode? About £3.50 I reckon.

 

[MickiQ]

6 episodes in and still loving it, I really like the little VTOL aircraft they use. Though consider the female scientist managed to get one and conceal it in her barn I have serious doubts that the US military is keeping proper track of advanced military hardware.

By La Brea season 2 the acting, writing, FX etc all feel improved. It does pick up at exactly the point season one ended and some characters have different haircuts. Most notably Gavin, who has gone from a shit fringe to a parting.

Tekwar. Everyone remembers tj hooker for post star trek shatner but Tekwar is forgotten

We have spoiler tags so you don't give away important stuff like that ^.

And rightly so
