Reached the end of Season 1 of La Brea which has left many unanswered questions?
Like despite the fact that these people have been in 10,000 BC for at least week now why are all the men clean shaven and why do the women especially the young and pretty ones still look fresh as a daisy?
At a rough guestimate (based on them attending a funeral) about forty people survived the fall but only a dozen seem to do anything the rest just wander about in the background like members of Starfleet.
What happened to the traffic cop one of the few with a gun who just seems to have vanished.
Why is the population of a small village of Neolithic tribesmen as ethnically diverse as modern day Los Angeles.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
I wanna know who does the Laundry. I'm on episode 7 of season 2 and they all still have clean clothes.
I also wish my facial hair stayed the same for that long...

A Hollywood costume truck fell down the sinkhole with them. It’s LA!

Which was a genius bit of plotting, but they are wearing the same clothes they fell down in....
Maybe they wear something else between episodes.
I am enjoying both La Brea and Quantum Leap. They are entertaining, they keep moving, and La Brea clearly got a budget increase for Season 2 which helped expand the story beyond the 'clearing' and build a wider world for them to explore. It reminds me of 80s tv.

Quantum Leap is back! Why did nobody tell me?

It gets dafter. I've just finished the final season. It has been a fun watch. I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoyed Knight Rider and The A Team as a kid. It was refreshing in many ways not to have to take anything seriously and just be entertained by some silly sci-fi. It has an ending too, which is nice these days.

NBC have just cancelled Quantum Leap; bastards!
I'm really enjoying season 2 at the moment. and that will be the lot.
It has managed to maintain the heart and soul of the original series and succesfully continue the story with new characters. Viewing figures have not been enough to keep it alive, so it ends...without an ending.

There’s apparently a “Ken Soong” gag to be had. But I don’t know what that is.

Perhaps someone can go back in time to fix this.

Is it something to do with Barbie?

Anyone remember Quark?
Truly cheesy 70s sci-fi sitcom
And less cheesier, the movie that launched Kolchak and inspired the X-Files

That's quite a cool bit of trivia.

I have finished Season 2 of Quantum Leap , and I can honestly say I'm gutted that it is the end due to cancellation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ending to the season is good enough be an ending...for now. Maybe it will be back in another 30 years, when I am dead!
With that and La Brea done, I am getting my old skool TV kicks watching Relic Hunter, a late 90s Indiana Jones riff with Tia Carrera engaging in lots of adventures in the hunt for various missing treasures. It is a silly, sexist, action packed romp that looks exactly the age it is. The episodic stories are fairly entertaining on the whole; the hunt for Al Capone's Silver handled gun, Elvis's Guitar, the odd supernatural wotsit; that kinda thing. It's not taxing or intelligent, but is fun.

Six eps of Season 3 of La Brea have turned up in Paramount+!
Netflix is fucking me around with Manifest. I’ve watched Season 1 & 2, Season 4 is there but not Season 3!

Halfway through Season 3 of La Brea now and it's still gloriously daft. Despite Season 3 taking up only 2 days after the end of Season 2, despite being trapped in 10,000 BC Josh has somehow found both time (and a barber) to get a completely different haircut also Lucas seems to have completely forgotten about his paralysed arm.
If the USAF has established a base in the past and is flying around in helicopters how come they failed to spot the fucking great tower built by the time travelers from 2060?
