Sam’s back! I’ve missed hearing you talk. But I haven’t watched The Acolyte so I won’t be able to participate in that conversation. Maybe I’ll watch it someday though. It looks pretty good! Loved the potpourri reference btw. I watch Jeopardy every day 😁

shill alert

Against Time is the first truly excellent episode of New Q. The Eps with Hannah (palindromic names in a time travel show are tight) have been a huge step up form what has come before. I love the chemistry between Ben and Hannah, But this ep???? I genuinely freaking loved this. As the World Burns was good, I really enjoyed it but, my needs as a fan were serviced wonderfully by Against Time, it was so consistent with who Ben is. I loved the Leap Home Suite part (I wasn't crying, you were crying), and I got serious people bumps when they pulled out the old hand link (would it have killed the sound guys to use the door sound effect, even if they didn't show the imaging camber door?). I have to say that if the show gets pulled now, I will be upset. Until recently I would have been "oh well". I now need more.

I just watched both seasons on peacock...The show is awesome!

It’s ironic that the new _Quantum Leap_ series, which purposefully fixed some of the mistakes from the original series, ended on such an unsatisfactory note, just like its predecessor did. The final three episodes of QL Season 2 were so good, that I thought that there would definitely be a Season 3.

Dennis is way off base on missing a conversation with Janis. She's not going to say anything! It'd be a total waste of airtime.

I felt like they got the sneaker culture history wrong. They acted like shoes/sneakers were not a big deal in 1992, and "in 10 years it will explode". This would be more accurate if they were in 1982 and talking about 1992, but was totally wrong for them to be in 1992 and be speaking of 2002 as when sneaker culture explodes. Do they not know about the Air Jordan 1 in 1984? Sneakers exploded in the mid-late 80s, but was already getting there in the late 70s/early 80s with Addidas, Nike, Reebok.

Glad you liked it! I made the video to be somewhat cathartic. For me, and the people who loved the show. When I made it my only hope was for it to get to the right people. This means it did its job. ❤️

Cool figurines! I love Ahsoka. I met her at Galaxy’s Edge a few weeks ago and I was fangirling out, lol.

Thanks for this. I can't remember a cancellation that I've taken so hard. I was late to the show, so I fell in love with it and one month later it was dead.

QL connects with 326 because 3/26 was the pilot episode... (but there's more) ua-cam.com/video/fWTheZ-hxq0/v-deo.htmlsi=Sc1sLgof2lPZwXCZ

Great stuff! ~Stacie

You and me both mate, I hate it, I miss my qlp family

I watched this video earlier today! It’s so beautiful. I’m really sad about the cancellation too, but at least it ended in the perfect way. I just wish we could have seen some of the two-leaper adventures.

I want to see the letter between Hannah and Addison! I really hope we could of at least seen them leap together but in the end a home isn’t a place it’s a person ❤️🥹

Thanks for sharing the video and your sentiments about the show. I'm sad that it's over too. I really thought we would get more stories with these characters, and I feel like it's a profound loss for so many fans and future fans, and everyone who just needs to see themselves on screen. There aren't any other shows like Quantum Leap on TV and we could really use more of them. I suppose we're lucky we got this revival at all, and at least it had a satisfying conclusion if that's where it has to end--for now.

This guy made an awesome work on the show! I am listening to the soundtrack for season 1 everyday and I hope the soundtrack for season 2 will be released one day. Good job and great interview!

Sam's theory about the resolution of Season 1 at 1:00:00 is far more interesting than what they actually did.

The plan was to have the seasons be self contained. DOOOOOOOOM imagine if Star trek was set up like that. Every season had a new crew but to mess with u it'd be the same ship😂😂😂😂😂

At least they ended it where they gave Ben a “happy ending”…Which I’m okay with

We’re planning on recording something soon as well, hopefully within the next few days. I just wasn’t in a good place to gather my thoughts, but I have a pretty good idea of what I want to say, which I think my wife and the others will mostly mirror. Social media and expectations definitely played a part in the cancellation, and it does seem like many of the concerns I’ve had were warranted, especially as a long-time fan who has been trying to keep the flame alive for 30 years. I think the biggest difference with an IP like Quantum Leap is that it hasn’t really been in the collective consciousness on a continuous basis over the past three decades (as opposed to Star Trek and Doctor Who), and they really needed to ease people back into the tried-and-true formula of what made the original work so well before trying to rush all the ambitious story-telling. As much as I liked the new series, I wasn’t in love with it because there were just a few small things here and there that I wish the network and the showrunners had paid more attention to. I said it right from the start, the new series shouldn’t have been airing on NBC because of network limitations, time constraints, and not as much creative freedom as the producers/writers would have liked. Plus, the “nostalgia factor” just wasn’t there. The two biggest things, in my opinion, that the new QL needed to survive in this era. Even something as simple as giving Ziggy a voice (which couldn’t be anyone other than Deborah) would have been enough of an olive branch to older fans such as myself to say, “Hey, we have a consistent thread to connect this to the original.” Some acknowledgment of what came before outside of the occasional reference to Sam Beckett which they then did absolutely nothing with. We had Janis and Magic, but they literally could have been anyone else. They never “felt” like legacy characters because they very rarely mentioned the past. Even Beth was just kind of there to be there, unfortunately. These are little things they could have thrown in somewhere that would have made all the difference. Instead, it just seemed like they strayed further and further away from the charm of the original series. And literally only 3 of the 13 episodes this season (4 if you count the final episode) ended with a leap-in to the next episode. It just felt too much like the type of procedural series dominating the TV landscape and which QL was supposed to be a change from. See, this is “constructive” criticism as opposed to the vile and toxic “This show sucked” attitude, or invalidation of the new series by calling the original “the real QL,” that the very vocal trolls are posting on the Facebook forums. Anyway, great discussion, Sam and JJ! I sincerely hope that Universal doesn’t give up on this IP, even if they try again with something new in the next few years. The world needs more messages of hope and positivity. ~Damon

I think the "it's a business" statement has changed to focus almost exclusively on immediate/short term shareholder value. This is why so much of cable has gone to "reality" TV - super cheap production costs and lots of mindless eyeballs on them. This is why a long term investment in fiction TV is no longer desirable - unless a show makes a positive impact on the stock price, it's in danger. Its disgusting.

Man just fuck NBC, the creators will find a new home for it. Show cancellations is just part of the issue

Meanwhile, we get about twenty new seasons for more Dick Wolf slop. Hooray. Hope the Night Court revival doesn't get the axe.

I’m really bummed about the cancellation because I was so looking forward to seeing Ben and Addison leaping together. I wanted the folks who work on the show to get to continue their awesome work. But - if it does have to come to an end, I’m glad it ended the way it did, because it was a perfect ending.

Thank you all so much for everything, I loved every minute of this show

I do hope some Network or Streaming service picks this series up would love to see it now with 2 leapers and love to have them find. Sam 22:26

This is so sad what is wrong With Nbc they did the same thing to the reboot of Magnium Pi which was so good as well and now Cancel Quantium Leap after the strikes they cancel good series so sad my heart is broken

I like that the season finale sort of served as an OK series finale. But I am incredibly disappointed in NBC, so I canceled my subscription to Peacock. I also have no other reason to watch their network going forward.

Hoping another network or streamer picks it up for one more season. I'll even take a miniseries or movie! I had just made a fan intro trailer days before the cancelation news... didn't realize it'd end up serving as a tribute as it came to an end. ua-cam.com/video/ma6Je6DiRYQ/v-deo.htmlsi=MEKpNjZitkE6bDPM

This is incredibly sad but I have to hope the writers knew this was a 50/50 chance. With the ending. Hannah sent Ben “home.” I was a Ben/Hannah shipper all along but something made me feel better when she said her final words to Ben.

NBC HAVE PISSED ME OFF

Strength to strength with these interviews I cannot stress that enough. Sam can I ask what Michael Kane book it is?

Pamela is so nice! I LOVED her response to what inspires her ❤

Hope everyone was ok with the tornado alert! 🚨

Another great interview! I love what Caitlin said about what inspires her. For a lot of people (myself included), our favorite TV shows hold a special place in our hearts beyond just entertainment for an hour a week. She really puts her all into making the show the best that it can be, and it shows. I’m really hoping for a season 3, so Caitlin and everyone else who works on the show can continue their wonderful work.

🙃 Promo-SM

Awesome interview with Caitlyn! So many wonderful points about Addison’s character development and how season 3 might develop. I love Quantum Leap so much, and I’m excited to see where it will go.

Do us little people get a peak of the letter 😂😞 I think it shows after Nomad that Caitlin and Eliza formed a serious bond of sisterhood. Love it.

Taking this to a Spiritual level . . . Finally ~ we are being shown in real time : Source is Both Male & Female . . . In essence Who we All are = The Nuclear Family & What I Love, if you have open eyes and ears . . . This show Quantum Leap is not only showing us but telling us All > how & where we are All going in Our Bright & Beautiful Future.

Caitlin is so beautiful and talented

That’s funny that JJ mentioned Addison walking out of the Imaging Chamber at the project when she was actually inside Janis’s IC in a different location! MJ said the same thing in our review, and it was something that I completely missed when I first watched the finale! 😂 ~Damon

I’m wondering who will take over as the observer/hologram, and if they will need two holograms. Maybe Eliza Taylor could play Jeffrey’s daughter, who happens to look so much like her grandmother, who becomes the new hologram.

Honestly if Ben wasn’t called out for his date in Cairo I don’t see him saying anything. Just in a awkward spot.

Thanks, you did pronounce my last name right.

I’m right there with you - I’ve been coming up with all kinds of potential season 3 ideas in my head. I really hope we get renewed because there really is so much potential there. I have a question for you. I saw someone on Reddit throw out the idea that QL could possibly be moved to Peacock-only, since the Peacock numbers seem to be better than the NBC numbers. I don’t know much about what goes into making that decision, but you seem pretty knowledgeable about this stuff. Do you think moving to Peacock-only is a possibility for season 3? Ooh, I’m excited for the Star Wars stuff! I was one of the “more than two people” to suggest it. And that’s so cool that JJ has his artwork on Star Wars puzzles! I love doing puzzles and have actually done a few Star Wars ones, so that’s exactly my kind of thing!

Can we all strive to be like Hannah and fall for people on what the inside looks like. She never saw what the real Ben looked like and that stuck with me. Her love language is so beautifully written.

This in my opinion is one of THE best season finale's of ANT show I've ever seen, period.....I'll tell you one thing, at the end of episode 12 when Jeffrey was reading the letter I KNEW he was going to end up being Gideon. I can't tell you how proud of myself I was when I turned out to be right lol From the looks of it Addison is going to be the leaper and main character in season 3 and Ben will be taking a back seat.....IF it's renewed......fingers crossed 🤞🤞 Not sure how fans would take changing our main character and leaper after 2 seasons but I am on board. I hope we get an answer on season 3 soon
