WOKE GARBAGE!
I WILL NOT BE WATCHING IT!
IT'S TRASH!
i have one small change i want to see. in the Original show if someone was epileptic Dr.Beckett or someone else would handle it by restraint and the long lived notion that something should be placed in the mouth to prevent the tongue from being swallowed. this in fact is false since the tongue is a fairly decent sized muscle/organ and trying to restrain and force any object into someones mouth while seizing could cause a person to bite unintentionally the person trying to help them or the person having the epileptic fit could have broken teeth or damage to the mouth or head area. i am epileptic and i believe that needs to be changed because spreading a falsehood like that could cause harm to someone from a person trying to help that person suffering an episode. while alot of fans will be watching it who saw the original series im just as sure that there will be plenty sharing the series again with their kids and watching the next installment and having a stereotype of handling a serious condition can cause alot of harm and further spread mis-information. im well aware it may have been a common practice 20-30-40 years ago but that in my opinion is something that does need to change
I still say that if Al and Beth got back together there is no guarantee that Al was even involved in the project. His life more than likely took a totally different path that would negate everything done in the entire series. Many episodes revolved around Al being a womanizer and many failed marriages.
Think about that. Not only did Sam sacrifice his return home to save Al's marriage, but he also undid all the timeline changes he did for everyone else during the entire series.
@@clarkstartrek Nobody asked you to. There are hundreds of channels. Watch 1 of them. You don't need our approval.
I don't like how they've done that it needs to be more about Sam Beckett it's that simple they just can't make good shows anymore
I met my husband in 1992 when we were both working on Quantum Leap. Scott and Dean were the absolute best and I hope that Scott is in the new show!!!
Scott has to be, theres no point without him.
Quantum Leap didn’t premiere until 1989.
@@beerdragon4583 Kelly must have "Quantum Leaped" back 7 yrs 😀
Quantum Leap was still in production in 1992, though
@@reebanruben9043 edited from 82 to 92.
I wanted it to be one of two possibilities. 1) Sam’s Daughter is the one doing the Leaping to find her father or 2) Sam is doing the Leaping and anybody of any race or sex is playing the role that Al played. With no Scott this will be a pass for me.
I totally agree with you. This new stuff just sounds boring.
I'm thinking Scott's got plans for a return to Trek in a minor way, and likely read the QL treatment and won't touch it.
I totally agree with you. Scott Bakula needs to have a role in this
@@God_of_Calamity i am not expecting "Trek" to do anything so Mr Bakula is free as far as "we" know and QL is a perfect fit for him even though I agree the new REBOOT sounds boring.
Yea Sam`s daughter could have a child and be called literally Sam actress from Cobra Kai and get around the ` not legal to make a Back To The Future 4 or reboot ` have the DeLorean tech spliced into Quantum Leap A.I. Marty's daughter had a son making Samantha McFly Baines Becket her role to find her grand father Sam Becket... so both legendry 80s film/tv material lives on.... oh and the realy used 2020 Tesla roadster being converted in the show to become the new power source for Quantum Leap A.I.
I saw the thumbnail and was like, "Oh, cool! Quantum Leap is coming back!!" Then I watched the video and I'm no longer excited at all. Thanks for letting me know I won't need to waste my time with this one.
I just wrote a 10 line reply but figured to delete it and thumbs your up, this show will be a wokemare of epic wokness, I will not be watching either buddy.
Agree, the acting is the only thing I care about. Pushing non binary, colour, and belief does not make a character. Some of the best characters were accidents. Let the writing be good and the actors be good. Nothing else really matters. Jack Harkness is by in Dr Who, I liked him because how he was written and how courage's he was.
@@dwightgrant6360 I agree as well.
These people are pushing this like nobody’s business.
I loved this original but this I will not be watching
Yea, sadly this show will be end up being another SJW dream of more preaching that all of us are just sick of. And throw in time travel, theres so much material to work with slavery, racism, sexism. Quantum Leap addressed these issues, but with tact and subtlety. The SJW movie TV writers today have no idea of these concepts. Yea, it's a hard pass for me.
so you are basing what the show is rely going to be about based off a RUclips video that isn't even confirmed to be true. ok that makes no sense why would you do that. i would at lest watch the first episode or 2 than make a decision on weather or not to continue watching it and not just go on hear say. its called give things a chance don't just assume things are going to be bad witch is what i think you are doing.
Scott is heart and soul of quantum leap he has to be involved all fans will agree on this point
No, not all fans.
Scott is old and they're going for a generation who never saw the original
The Vietnam Vet Character Magic was who Dr. Beckett Leaped into in the Episode the Leap Home part 2 when he saved his Brother's life
^They should try to get Christopher Kirby, the actor who played Magic in the original series. He's still alive.
Surprised they didn't mention that - it was my immediate thought upon seeing the name.
Thank you for this! We didn't make that connection. It's a good sign if they are using characters from the original series.
Came to make this very comment. It’s still fresh on my mind since I just did a full re-watch of the series while I was sick for the last couple of weeks.
I was looking for this comment. I remember that episode well.
I was done as soon as the woke shit began. Quantum leap has always been one of my favorite shows. They would be better off just putting reruns in rotation. Another example of forced diversity just for the sake of having it ruining shit
Quantum Leap was woke before woke-ness was even a thing
Quantum Leap dealt with social issues in a genuine and tactful fashion. It wasn't woke because it didn't rely on checking off boxes, pandering, or tokenism like modern woke media does.
At least one character is from the original series. The black Vietnam War veteran is clearly Magic, the guy Sam leaped into in the early 1970s to save his brother Tom. This is NOT "woke casting", this is totally staying with the original show. How are you guys fans and missed who Magic was from The Leap Home Part 2? The OG show was woke for the late 80s/early 90s anyway, the show preached about sexual harassment, racial injustice and gay rights in 1989. There just wasn't the internet around for fans to talk about it.
I agree tired of them pushing the woke crap
People who talk about "woke" shit sound like geniuses. Woke shit has always existed. They just never felt the need to announce that they are casting a non white lead or that they are casting a "binary" character whatever that is.
When you start off eliminating the vast majority of actors/actresses as a possibility for the main character - you're already doomed. The person that plays the Leaper needs to be talented, extremely versatile and likeable - that's already limiting the options. The ethnicity requirement makes it highly unlikely you'll find the right person....and shows an agenda, that no one that watches these types of shows wants to watch. If you run an honest open-minded casting call and happen to find the best person is a first generation ethnic actor - then cool. In this case, they're actually feeding into a stereotype by wanting the person to be from Asia.....but they are too woke to see it. Casting some roles, does require casting by gender, race, hair color, eye color, body shape, etc. (ie. Any of Al's daughters are going to have to look like Al and Beth) But the main characters here should be 100% talent FIRST with no diversity requirements at all.
They have already eliminated the vast majority of the audience with just the character and cast list. People are sick of miserable, obnoxious and boring woke and radical feminist shows and movies
Uummm, your entire argument makes a somewhat fatal assumption: That the casting call sheet for the original Quantum Leap didn't have "Sam Beckett: white male, 40s" or "Admiral Albert Calavicci, white male, mid-late 60s" on it.
Do you seriously believe and any written, televised version of ANYthing isn't approached with the ethnic demographic of the characters not being a factor in the concept of the characters from initial storyboards to the hiring of the actors meant to play them?... Where do you think that happens?
@@chrislewismedia3111 Check out the casting of The Matrix and who almost played who. Pretty sure none of the roles included ethnicity or race.
@@chrislewismedia3111 We're pretending that anyone can play and character regardless of race, sex, religion, etc: As we're told over and over again, denying roles to people based upon race, sex, religion, etc: is harmful. Now, I know that when socialists say that they are lying, as they only deny roles to the whites and christians, but stop pretending that anyone can play any role if you openly deny roles based upon race, sex, religion, etc:
@@liteney Someone's never seen a casting call sheet. I know this because you seem to believe that the the casting call for the original show didn't list in that call, pre-production, for the roles of Dr. Sam Beckett and Adm Al Calavicci, specifying those roles as white men, of certain age ranges, possibly within certain height and weight ranges as well.
That's how casting works... For movies, TV shows, plays, commercials and generally, give or take, has ALWAYS worked and if you didn't have a problem when the casting call sheet, up front, listed white men for those roles back then (or in any other instance of casting when that's been the jumping off point - EXCLUDING ALL OTHER POSSIBLE RACES OR SEXES) then the fact that you're having this issue right now, for the reasons you're stating is, sadly, just as it comes across reading it: ABSOLUTELY disingenuous
No. No Scott Bakula, no interest. I loved the show. I dont want it ruined by a woke reboot.
...someone clearly didn't pay attention to the original show...
@@Sasmo87 "Woke" in 2022 and "liberal" in the late 1980's / early 1990's are not identical. That two sets of ideas are considered on "the left" in their time doesn't mean they are the same.
QL showed differences in people, yes. But it also emphasized common humanity and decency. It did not pit ethnicities and genders and sexual proclivities against each other. Group X wasn't brought down in the name of Group Y.
Sam didn't leap into marginalized groups, or hegemonic groups. He leapt into individuals, wherein he interacted with other individuals, changing history for the better by helping individuals.
Agreed. Scott MUST be involved if only as a reoccurring character.
Why must he be involved? Not even Scott can save this shit show
@@jplonsdale7242
There is such a thing as 'if you can't say anything good - or at least constructive - then don't say anything'. You don't like the show - fine. You never liked the show - fine. So you don't really have a place in this discussion, do you?
@@silvamayflower I loved the original and it's sincere message of good triumphing over evil and its EGALITARIAN message of peace, love, respect and equality between all races, genders and sexuallity. Original QL was woke in a sincere, genuine and heartfelt way. What I can't and NOBODY should support is today's hate cult cult of woke. The lead star is black the co stars are radical feminists and the show will be tackling misogyny , patriarchy and toxic straight white males . It will be miserable, misandrist, obnoxious, boring and spiteful just like every other TV show and movie radical feminists and woke crowd infect
@@jplonsdale7242 Ah I see you're looking at not wanting to tackle today's realities. So you loved the show, and so did I, but it was of its era. I really think we should give these people a chance. Black lead stars are now commonplace, I'm happy to say, and 'radical feminists' are now simply women in a people's role. If you think it will be miserable, and all the other things you list, I feel that you're looking at the remake of Battlestar Galactica, where no-one trusted anyone else (PS I never saw the original, so I can't compare in this case). If they keep the humour, care for fellow characters and add a good set of storylines, then there's no reason it can't be good. As a woman in today's world with friends from all places, including non-binary, I find their company no less for their differences. And we don't shout and scream at each other all the time, such as they do in Battlestar and The Expanse. PLEASE don't confuse today's reality with a change of mood/relationships and storylines, and with confrontational plot lines. I'll be first to hate it if it becomes Eastenders in Space (reference to British TV - sorry if you don't get it). But if it simply has some black, female and non-binary characters occupying the major roles, I'll sigh with relief that at least someone isn't going round misusing the term 'woke' in the way 'pc' has been taken over by the negative brigade. I'm happy to give it a chance.
@@silvamayflower unfortunately for you and others of your ilk those first World none problems only exist in hateful and bitter minds like yours
When producers specifically look for someone of colour to play a character, before choosing someone based on their acting skills, this gets my goat.
I disagree with the casting NOT because of what they look like, but because they seem too young to have known Sam and therefore would have no personal commitment to the Project. When I heard about the character of Magic Johnson returning (the name will always remind me of the basketball player), I had an idea. They should have made Tom Beckett the Observer. He would have a connection to Sam, whereas all of these new people presumably do not.
Why should the character have to have personally known Sam to have a personal commitment to the project? He could be a scientist that read about the project at some point and was fascinated by it and Sam's work by extension.
I swear some people just have no imagination.
@@TheRockinDonkey There is less emotional attachment.
@@MinimalistTheatre333 So what? People can have motives beyond emotions, and often do.
When they start calling out specific racial and identity attributes of the actor for a fictional show, I already have a great many strikes against it. Sam Beckett was an empty canvas of a character part of what made Scott Bakula so perfect because he is generally bland but believable. (that is not a dig I actually have always liked his work) The show was always simple. Sam and Al fixing the little things to improve people’s lives. Those around the life leapt into were important for a show or two but then they moved on. It addressed many of societal flaws from the past but always kept it in the context of the past. This new show sounds like something that is going to beat you over the head with week after week with just how terrible western society is. For some reason, science fiction has become the go to vehicle for this and I am getting rather tired of it. Especially when the use the stories and characters that I once really enjoyed and they completely destroy them to promote their ideology. Sorry but it is a hard pass for me.
At least one character is from the original series. The black Vietnam War veteran is clearly Magic, the guy Sam leaped into in the early 1970s to save his brother Tom. This is NOT "woke casting", this is totally staying with the original show. How are you guys fans and missed who Magic was from The Leap Home Part 2? The OG show was woke for the late 80s/early 90s anyway, the show preached about sexual harassment, racial injustice and gay rights in 1989. There just wasn't the internet around for fans to talk about it.
I concur
@@John-ct9zs Bringing to light true sexual harassment and racism in the original show is not wokeism. It's accepting the realities of the past yet trying to change it for the better. Going out of your way to have no white male characters, having an openly and overtly androgenous character, removing the GTFW reference. When you focus casting on checking off "diversity" check boxes, that's what we're talking about. The fact that they have to specify ethnicity in casting is telling enough. The exception is for the casting of Magic who we would know is black from the original series, but in most cases unless we're talking historical characters there's no reason for that unless you're trying to check off boxes to show off how "diverse" you are.
@@John-ct9zs Take a look at 3:21 for example. Here's what the woke crowd refuses to understand. If you find a great actor for the role of Ian who happens to be "non-binary" (There is no such thing btw but if that's his fantasy...) then that's fine. But actively going out of your way to say, "we need someone non-binary" is where the problem is. *If you don't understand the difference between being willing to hire someone who happens to be of X race or identity vs. deliberately looking for someone from X identity so you can brag about having X people on the show, then you're part of the problem.* If you don't see that going out of your way to hire non-white actors is JUST AS BAD as going out of your way to avoid POC actors, then again, that's the problem right in front of your face that you're not seeing. The woke-ists out there count on people not pointing this out under fear of being called all sorts of "ists" but that's the reality and it's about high time people stop pandering to this concept and stand up to it, say that something is wrong here and we're not afraid to point it out.
Well, I'll say this, you never really saw much of QL HQ in the original series. Al would relay info and goings on at times to Sam. Al would be holding his device, go through an invisible door. That was it. I worry really, we're going to get a lot of needless scenes in 'the future.' The hook of the show was Sam in a period of time, his longing to go home, solving an issue and leaping on to the next.
I loved 'Quantum Leap' growing up, and have been saying for years that this and 'Sliders' should be 2 shows that get a decent "continuation". Although, I get the feeling Scott will be in the pilot, to "hand over the reigns" to the new cast, and then it will continue on its "new story every week" style, (as Donald P. Bellisario stated he prefers that style for the show).... while providing a story arc, that they are "chasing" or "following" Sam through time and we will maaaaaybe get a half assed resolve in 4/5years when the series is in threat of cancellation...
Sliders went downhill after John Rys-Davies left the show. It got all weird.
I thought Sliders went down when Jerry and Charlie O'Connell left the series,not to mention finding Wade and not being able to save her.
@@Ndneilson2 Then it outright died. How they handled Wade was reprehensible and I am right politically
@@Ndneilson2 you know I remember watching Season 5 of Sliders at the time 1999-2000, and thinking it was awful. To be fair I rewatched again a few years ago and it was better than I remember. That Robert Floyd Mallory character was still cringe, but the Diana character was better than I remember. Also the episodes are well written for the most part. It is still nowhere near as good as the first 4 seasons, but I would still rate it above most of the junk on the air today.
It would also be interesting if they incorporated Sam Beckett's brother Tom into the continuation series. He was also an naval officer and could have been ultimately read in to the Quantum Leap program.
This makes sense considering he and "Magic" were in the same squad in Vietnam.
But did Sam die when he stepped into the accelerator and the A.I knew it... thus Sam is just a ghost that the A.I. has total control over, remember you cant destroy energy just change it to another form......
@@kylereese4822 - Probably not. There was an episode where he switched with Al and Al went back to 1945. Sam returned to to "home" but then reentered the chamber because Al got stuck in the past. According to the information on a site for the show.
This has long been my contention. Thomas Beckett returns home after Vietnam, and soon visits his old friend Professor Lonegro, who shares some results of his research, and they discuss Sam. Remember, Lonegro found strangers in his cabin in the woods, the man appeared excited to see the professor & declared, "Professor, it worked! This is Sam Beck..." Lonegro then married the woman. Plenty of opportunity here for PQL staff to be completely different, and for Lonegro to run a parallel & secret leaping program. By the way, the LO in LOTHOS could stand for Lonegro...
Good strong finish to this video. You are right, Scott Bakula needs to be a part of this. No more "wokeness" just a good show for the fans. Good writing, good effects and strong characters will lead to a success.
Non-binary characters? So much for non wokeness.
Uummm did y'all watch the original? Because Sam Beckett was "woke" before most people's alarm clocks went off, with a swiss cheese memory and on occasion, backwards and in heels.
Gay, straight, black, women, poor, specially-abled or otherwise disenfranchised, the man was an űber-ally across the board and was ALWAYS a voice against white supremacy, misogyny, bullying, prejudice, or anything that wasn't equal or inclusive.
I dunno. Maybe you guys missed those episodes or just filtered out huge swaths of the main character's more glaring personality traits.
@@chrislewismedia3111 - Thank you! I was just coming here to say this
It always amazes me how butt hurt you guys get when a visible minority is cast in a series. Do you know how important it is for people to see people like themselves portrayed in a positive light
@@chrislewismedia3111 Get woke...go broke.
I'll pass.
There's no way they will recapture the fun and excitement of the original.
Their need to check off the right boxes outweighs their need and ability to entertain people
1. Bruce McGill will need to make an appearance in the pilot.
Bruce McGill Died last year
You showed the scene I remember the most from this show, the one where he's playing pool! I never forgot that episode. I've thought about it almost every time I played pool for the last 30 years. How crazy are memories?
Scott was the embodiment of Sam. Sam was such a wholesome selfless person and that never waivered. Al always referred to him as a boy scout. That wholesomeness is what drew fans in. That's why they need Sam and for Scott to play him. If they have a new lead character, that person needs those types of traits to make it work. They also shouldn't have so much interaction with the people in the future. The idea was to focus on the fact that Sam was very lonely and Al was his only true friend. The audience shared those feelings with him. Of course, this is all my opinion of why I loved the show and what I think made it work. I wish them well with it, and hope it's a winner. We could really use some inspiring TV nowadays
After learning about the casting, it sounds like Hollywood still has not learned from its mistakes from its other attempts at reboots. Ghostbusters 2016, Terminator: Dark Fate, the Star Wars sequels, now this. Looks like I’ll be watching the original series, after learning about this disappointing reboot.
I seem to remember in one of the novels that Sam jumps into a Dr. and has to do minor brain surgery on his younger (Sam) self after Sam had been attacked - where he gets a sample of brain cells preserved. Younger Sam ends up using (without telling anyone at first) these cells to help make Ziggy a successful AI, being partly organic. This would allow for Ziggy to sync with Sam's brain patterns when he traveled through time to lock onto him and provide the holographic visuals for Sam and the Observer. Since that does not seem to be canon, I guess someone else can play the time jumping lead....
But as far as we know Sam Beckett is still in this new show, it's a continuation not a reboot. Plus I thought the series established that Beckett was controlling the leaps not the AI? We know because the bartender explained that, whether the bartender was God or a god (yes, whether you believe in God or not, "god" and "God" are two different words with different meanings) is not clear, but the bartender definitely was capable of controlling the leaping...
I would like the quantum accelerator to bring Sam back as the new character travels back in time. Scott Bacula could be the character that tries over and over to save the new traveler and occasionally getting stuck in time helping this new character but somehow getting sent back to the lab each time he tries to interfere. Without Bacula having a lead permanent role they might as well dump it. This needs to be part reboot and part continuation. Reboots without what we loved will end up like the poorly redone Lost in Space. Why is it the studios want to change the gender of all the parts we love! Another example is Trek discovery which has created a great divide in the fandom of Trek. The ideas you presented here will kill Leap for good.
The reasons for Hollywierd screwing stuff up is because they lack originality and imagination as most are now denizens of the "Chart of Victim Intersectionality" and because there are no lgbt a, b, c, d, e, (insert letter of the week) heroes or icons they are compelled to "gay up" or change the gender the straight ones.
Agreed on all points!
I would have liked to see Sammy Jo as a character trying to help her dad return home. Sam would be a regular returning character but the story would be focused on Sammy Jo jumping into the quantum leap accelerator to go find her dad after Al dies..
Don't forget Sam was married in his real time and was heavily involved in the project. What about her? Why isn't she a part of this? How did she just disappear from the project?
You are so right if Scott not there it want last
I am not sure you will see this, but the Character Herbert "Magic" Williams is already cannon in the original series, Originally portrayed by Christopher Kirby in Season 3 Ep 2 The Leap Home: Vietnam ,he worked along side Sam's brother in the Vietnam leaps. Magic is out of the characters listed the most obvious tie to Sam. I also think as a selling point if we see Backula at all he will definitely appear before the end of the pilot, as a tease.
Right? Why does everyone keep forgetting about Magic Williams?!?
I know! I was so excited when I saw his name pop up, and not even a mention. that's some poor research!
The story needs to revolve around the new team trying to find Beckett and being successful. Beckett, with his years of experience, then becomes essentially a new Dean Stockwell type character to try and get the new time traveler home. If Bakula only does cameos or guest spots, I won't watch.
They need to look forward - not do the Picard and look back
While I think there's no Quantum Leap without the irreplaceable Dean Stockwell, a reboot should perhaps include Scott Bakula in the conclusion of the storyline.
The reboot should either explore the early relationship between a young Sam and Al and what made Sam decide to explore and invent time travel or it should include Sam's daughter, Sammy-Jo who was said by Al to be involved with Project Quantum Leap to try and find a way to bring Sam home which was a wrong that needed to be put right.
I would also like to see Beth (Susan Diol) involved in the show. As she was reunited with Al at the end of the final season, she knows about Project Quantum Leap by now. She should be there, if they manage to retrieve Sam to tell him that Al has sadly passed away, which would explain why Al had trouble finding Sam after he leaped into himself. It would then be fitting to show a tribute to the late great and lamented Dean Stockwell and the actress who played Al's first wife is much older now herself.
What I couldn't understand about the show was why Sam was the only time traveller (apart from Alia) in Project Quantum Leap. If he invented a way to travel back in time, why wouldn't others working with him take the opportunity?
There has to be a resolution - a conclusion to the original story and perhaps allow the characters to find a way to control who they leap into and explore why they have to change history before they do so.
I agree with you and fingers crossed it happens.
Since time was changed when Al and Beth reunited, who's to say that Al was even involved in the project to begin with? Maybe this is why the project became dormant for 30 years because in the first episode it was Al in court trying to get the project continued and Sam changed time so the judge was a different person and agreed to the continuation. Without Al it changes everything from that point on. All of the stuff Sam changed would more than likely revert back to the original timeline.
the reason the other workers didnt try out the project was because after they saw sam get stuck travelling in time they didnt want to step into the acceleator and suffer the same fate.
@@curtisgordon7379 But it doesn't explain why it was only Sam's mission to change history by time travelling.
Besides which, they (the top team of scientists) could have invented a way to leap back, even if they couldn't find a way to retrieve Sam.
@@billkeithchannel I have already thought of that. It is possible that Sam changed Al's future from the point he was reunited with his first wife, Beth. In which case, Al might not have become a broken down alcoholic, might not have met Sam who turned his life around, might not have gotten involved in the Starbright Project etc. etc. etc.
However, Donna Eleese originally stood Sam up at the altar and he changed his own history by reuniting her with her estranged father. By the time of _The Leap Back_ episode, Sam was married to Donna, although in his original history, they weren't married and Sam had no memory of his wife and Al couldn't tell Sam that he had changed the course of his own life after leaping, because the Sam who leaped wasn't the same Sam who married Donna.
Furthermore, there are parts of a planned episode that were filmed in which Al Calavicci (Dean Stockwell) is seen talking to his first wife, Beth (Susan Diol) and discussing the fact that there's no one in the waiting room, Sam has leaped into himself and is lost in time.
It must be assumed that Sam explained Project Quantum Leap to Beth when he returned to the Calavicci home in the final episode because he appeared from nowhere in the Calavicci home and Beth saw Sam because he didn't leap into someone else, which means Sam is time travelling as himself, not leaping into other people's lives.
If Sam explained Project Quantum Leap to Beth, she might have told Al about it, when he returned from Vietnam, which means Al might have deliberately sought Sam out to become involved in Project Quantum Leap.
So that would debunk your theory.
To clarify something missed. Herbert "Magic" Williams is not a new character that served under Al. He's the person Sam lept into when he saved his brother's life in Vietnam, which would be the only connection between the two series. (The vietnam episode just aired on SyFy so I went looking up stuff on the series and came onto this vid)
Personally I don't have much of a thought of the show until I see the first couple of episodes. One thing that does piss me off is it's going to be on peacock. I refuse to pay for another streaming service, I even refused to pay for paramount +. Oh well.
I dont recall the show leaping Sam to a time when he's an old man cause its suppose to be within his own life time right? So then it would make sense, since Scott is older, now to bring his character to some time with 50-100 years from now based on the technology used in the first episode. Time might be linear but a man still ages.
Sort of. There was a lightning strike as a leap was happening and Sam and Al switched places and lept to a time in Al's lifetime before Sam was alive. This is the episode where we find out Sam is married and his wife is working in the project.
I've wondered about that myself. He's older but... his future since he leaped has always been in the past, so what counts as his lifetime? 1953-present, or 1953- whatever year he leapt in (as I recall, the show's present was set in the late 90s), with his lifetime bound between those years?
@@fireriffs Personally, I would think that his lifetime would be considered from 1953 to whatever the present is. What makes sense to me is that even though Sam is in the past, time is still moving forward in what would be his present (which I believe was shown to be 1999).
So here’s an idea, Sam makes it home in the first episode and quantum leap is responsible because his child from his visit home has made it possible. However his child is now caught in the quantum leap and Sam becomes his hologram guiding him through the experience.
FYI he actual conceived a child in the "Trilogy" story arc. Her name was Sammy Jo Fuller and and Al revealed that (atleast in his current time 1999) that Sammy Jo was infact a Project QL team member with ideas of how to bring Sam home [unaware for security reasons that he actually is her bio-dad]. If Sammy Jo is included in the revival series, she would be in her 50s or 60s. This is the most likely way that he could be brought home. Something must prompt the government to revive the project.
That was a huge part of my childhood, just PG enough for my parents to allow me but they let me watch the Simpsons (early Simpsons) there was always a life lesson at the end
Scott just signed up for a series on NBC called Unbroken playing Ash Holleran and Raymond Lee has been signed as the lead of the new Quantum Leap series. As of March 16/22, Scott has no involvement in the reboot. Scott Bakula has already shown interest in the new show and is friends with Donald Bellisario so my fingers are crossed Scott will join the show, but Sam Beckett has to be one of the main characters for me to watch it. Honestly, without Scott's 100% involvement they shouldn't try to reboot this series. It doesn't matter if it's been 30 years, it's obvious this show and Scott has a lot of fans.
Oh Boy. No Sam, no Charles taking time to watch.
No Sam is no Scott Bacukla no go..
I think I'll give it a chance but whoever takes Als place better have a hand held device that makes the same funny noises that Als did. That always added humor to any scene.
They aught to rescue Sam in the first season, and he becomes an Al for Ben, who is trapped in the Sam part.
But the original finale said that Sam never made it back home.
You should be writing it. You have a better plot than this entire premise I heard here. Man, how can they mess up Quantum Leap? It's easy money. Give the fans what they want. That's it.
@@TheDumontShow It is not about giving the fans what they want, they are secondary to ensuring all far left tick boxes are ticked first. I hope this isn't a train wreck but I go in to most new shows with extremely low expectations nowadays, if it turns out to be good then it is a bonus!
It was stated outright in the final episode that he never made it home; to do otherwise would undermine the original narrative.
... You know, you can curve this last rule, like they did with the picture of Al "leaping". For example, a good choice could be to show this exact sentence from the last episode, and erase it trough leap.
But this show will be a woke disaster anyway.
So far, this sounds like a show designed strictly for the much-loved young fans. So, you've just lost this long-time Quantum Leap fan!
I think that Quantum Leap definitely has some coattails for a spinoff that should be in the same timeline and universe as Sam Beckett and Al. Although having new cast members is important to give new life into the series... It would be so easy for them to have the 'siblings' pick up where Sam and Al left off 30 years later. Think about it... When Sam came back to Donna (The Leap Back).. They had each other for a short while but within that 30 years time time Donna could have birthed a son or daughter that grew up wondering about their father (Sam) and trying to figure out a way to get Sam home. Al and Beth re-united (Mirror Image) thanks to Sam making things right and had four daughters. How about the youngest going into the Navy (like her father Al) and picking up the torch of the Quantum Leap Project and being the military liaison to the Sam and Donna's son/daughter? While I like the character of 'Magic' coming in as the ultimate leader... I think it could work especially with everyone doing a multi-verse or infinite universes these days. Perhaps this new character Dr. Ben Prassad tries it out, gets transported and the son/daughter of Sam and Donna goes after him retrieves him but cannot get back due to this unbreakable drive to find their father Sam. Just spit-balling here...I agree Scott Bakula should be in the new Quantum Leap as the person being searched for by his son/daughter since he never returned. Think about all the characters and episodes that could be explored again from the original series and the near misses, chance encounters and even the son/daughter leaping into Sam!!! There is so much history and rich storytelling there!! NBC/Peacock lets do this!!!!
Seams like a continual reboot. Without Sam, it isn't Quantum leap, so I'd say he's going to have to be the 'Leonard Nimoy' in the Kelvin timeline to make it work. That in itself would give the project enough evidence to keep the project working, unless someone on the inside deleted the proof on the Governments orders to have the project squashed for their own reasons, perhaps to move it to Area 51 to run it themselves?
The 'Magic' character is who Sam leaped into in the episode "The Leap Home: Part 2"
Obviously 'diversity and inclusion' is at the heart of casting. The problem is this defeats the whole purpose of the show. The conceit was Sam a white man steps into the shoes of those who were historically discriminated against whether black, women or disabled in order to better understand their plight and humanise them. This doesn't translate if you change racial identity or gender surely.
Too woke and I won't be watching.
You know it’s going to be all about race, diversity and politics having nothing to do with decent plots or sci-fi. Quite like the last season of (New) Doctor Who. I don’t care who or what. It just needs to be a good show that’s actually about the show and make sense. Especially if SB is going to be referenced or make an appearance which, he should. And as often as possible.
Sounds like it will be dead on arrival, but hopefully it wont be a woke, pandering mess and we get a great series. So far it sounds like a hard pass though.
How about showing how tough it is to be a white guy? People think everything is handed to us.
@@ghjay But according to modern sensibilities and intersectionalism, white people can't experience racism or discrimination and to suggest otherwise makes you a bigot. That's how the woke culture works.
I think if Herbert "Magic" Williams is the new "Sam" and he runs across Sam Beckett and once he gets back to the present time he enlist the help of the team to get Sam back and Sam becomes the new "Al" would be the best way to go because obviously Sam when we grateful for finally making it home but would still want to help continue the project with the team and if they want it to be a continuation of the original without Scott Bakula I don't see it working if he is not part of the show also if it's only going to be on peacock there are other ways "Free sites" of getting around to watching it because with all these streaming sites yes not everybody can afford to pay for them all
Scott Bacula is key player in Quamtum leap Yes I believe he could fill in good Old AL who played by Dean Stockwell well cast member .God bless his soul.
@@johnensslen Yep my thoughts exactly and Yes R.IP Dean Stockwell 😏
Being in Canada i recall when the superhero shows were all on the "CW" and Ontario Canada could never get them, if Peacock is the same way ? what a pity!
I am sorry for living in Canada There is law or regulations in Canada saying anything outside the country is forbidden I do not feel this fair and equal law anymore They the Canadian magatries or Governments ought to seek solutions The British did also have this same law but believe they abolished this law in 1970's or 1980's Canada ought do this same Because many United State television programs and movies are produce in Canada. The major reason they do this is because it is more economical.
So, Ben is the one that leaps, although important to note that Sam met Magic in Vietnam.
When Sam leaped into his brother’ s Vietnam platoon, he leapt into a character nicknamed “Magic “ that seemed to always have a sixth sense, hence the nickname “Magic.” This may be the same character that is now the head of the Quantum Leap project they described that they suggest be played by Mario Van Peebles.
I totally agree I cannot see the show's working out without Scott appearing
"Quantum Leap" has always been "Woke".. but that casting calls sounds 100% pandering and writen by a producer more interested in checking boxes then delivering a message
Anyone that is upset about Quantum Leap being "woke" hasn't paid any attention at all. The entire original series was about helping the downtrodden and making things right. It gave a voice to minorities, with many episodes centered around civil rights. The only thing you could argue that it did wrong was pitching Sam as the "white savior." But that was indicative of the time the original series was created. Beyond just Quantum Leap, most all of of sci-fi is "woke"... that's the point of it. A future with hope, equality, and redemption. Then again, trolls are just gonna troll....
Exactly. This is why I don't understand these same people trying to infiltrate the Star Trek fandom and trying to push their alt-right bullshit there. Now if they don't care for New Trek, that's fine, but it's a completely other thing when they rage against representation of POC (which Trek has had from day one), LGBT characters, etc. I mean, Quantum Leap was even doing stories on gay characters long before that was considered acceptable subject matter.
@@ReigginHilderbrand Does the future also push the narrative no white males allowed?
@@ReigginHilderbrand Quantum Leap was 60's woke, IE advocating putting in actual effort on the personal level to fix problems without chasing money or fame. This sounds like it might be modern woke, IE a thin shallow veneer of 60's wokeness utilized by a corporation specifically FOR a gain in money or reputation.
They are almost polar opposites of each other really.
We understand a lot of people aren't liking the video because the news is not what we were expecting. We are also disappointed in the direction of the show based on the Cast Sheet. If you don't want to click the thumbs up for the news, we totally understand, but please give us a thumb's up so the RUclips Algorithm will actually serve the video and we can get the information out there to more people. Thank you so much!
There is a way to not only include Scott, but have an entirely new Quantum Leap team.
Have a new team member step into the excellerator and help Sam fix whatever is wrong, then when both leap out, Sam returns to his own body, and his assistant gets stuck in the past.
Sam can become one of the observers, and they can still have Sam in most episodes.
They can also include the more diverse cast.
Before digital TV ,I had a C band dish and would get the network feed without commercials for Quantum Leap. I liked the show a lot.
Definitely going to be woke from the casting requirements. Gone the same way as Star Trek discovery. Probably going to get a lecture in each episode about how we should all live and act. Not going to watch without Scott in it and the wokeness out of it.
You couldn't be more correct, every new show is going woke these days.
In other words, "less whiteness". Who's going to take the place of Dean Stockwell? If it fails, I hope "Enterprise" will be ready to accept Scott back as Archer as soon as possible. I wasn't a fan of "QL" and you're not going to make me a fan if you "woke" everything. Key-the same actor in "Discovery" plays a non-binary. Figures as that's why I don't like the show anyway. Seems that the emphasis will be on colour and LGBT, not disability-unless that person is also either or both. I liked Scott better in "Enterprise" and "NCIS: NO" anyway.
I mean, every episode of the original was a morality play also.
Yep calling for a middle eastern this, a female that, a non binary that. Did you see white male or female there?
Sam has to be in it definitely the pilot and recurring Character if not regular
The fact that the last combat units left Vietnam in 1972 the "Magic" Williams character would have to be 70 years old. I also have to say 'No Scott, no Leap.'
Yeah the original episode Home 2 took place in 1970. He would probably have had to be at least 19 to be a Seal then. Sure I know people can join at 18, but to go through basic, a school, seal training, and whatever other training seals go through you figure the dude is at minimum 19 in 1970. Making him at minimum 71 in 2022.
If Scott Bakula is not in this series it might as well be called Quantum sleep.
Casting seems WOKE. I have zero interest in watching this re-boot. Without Bakula, forget it.
I totally agree with you 100%
Bakula or bust
Imagine thinking the original show wasn't woke AF.
Yeah, I get that vibe too.
Yes Davey we as white people are so oppressed. It's terrible, horrible I tell you!
Although I would absolutely love to see Scott return as Sam, his presence is not the key. Quantum Leap's success mostly rested on the chemistry between Scott and Dean. If the new cast has no chemistry and/or can't pull of the continuation of the original premise, then the show will tank with or without Scott returning. I'm hoping for the best, but I have no high expectations.
I just watched a mini-documentary on Sanford & Son. Without the chemistry between Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson, there was no show not matter how many times they tried to reboot it with spin-offs using minor characters.
You lost me at the first sentence. Scott is the key. End of story.
You missed the connection that Herbert "Magic" Williams was the solider Sam leapt into to save his brother in Vietnam (Season 3)
I was a fan of sliders and I always thought the answer to a sequel series or reboot would be a series about a rescue mission
I will form my opinion when I see the show, Scott's presence will not be a deal breaker for me. Given his enthusiasm for the show I don't anticipate him not making an appearance but how large a part he has is anyone's guess at this stage. If he isn't involved then as long as the show is well written and acted and entertains me then I will watch.
If it has a diverse cast and inspires the haters to complain it is too 'woke' I will probably watch it just to spite them, I have gotten sick and tired of a minority of 'fans' complaining that a show is woke, didn't they see the original? Sure it had a predominantly white cast but it dealt with many issues that today's haters seem to despise reference to, race, feminism, disability, sexuality etc.
That's a fair point that the show was always progressive in tackling social issues, racism and historical injustice. But changing the lead from a white man whose purpose was to experience the discrimination he'd historically never faced to a 'minority' doesn't make sense in that regard. It's not just that, it's also that cast list has no white man in it which is clearly deliberate. This just comes across as box-ticking and tokenism.
Woke shows are made just to check off agenda boxes rather than to tell a story or please fans. They are generally trash because they were never trying to make a good story.
The call sheet they listed on this video shows that this show is already headed in that direction.
For me personally, it won't be how woke the show will turn out, but rather how well the main actor can slip into various roles and make you believe he's the character he's leapt into. Whenever Sam became a woman, black character or whomever, Scott Bakula made it believable because of his acting abilities IMO.
I want a diverse cast with Bakula in the reboot. Please don't make it too woke.
Keep it true to the series.

"But changing the lead from a white man whose purpose was to experience the discrimination he'd historically never faced to a 'minority' doesn't make sense in that regard. It's not just that, it's also that cast list has no white man in it which is clearly deliberate. T"
You're contradicting yourself. You admit racism is bad, yet you are racist in terms of who should be the lead in the show.
Technically the vast majority of humans are Chinese or Indian (as in India)...white people are only about 20%...so by your logic, the lead should be a Chinese-American or Indian-American, and they intend it to be an Indian-American, yet you have issues. Hope you can admit to yourself that you're a racist.
When I see a call sheet like the one shown at 3:12, it makes me feel ill. That's pretty much all I need to know. I seriously doubt the "reboot" will be of any interest to me. I'm not into any culture that places so much emphasis on ethnicity. I don't plan on spending my limited leisure time with such a distasteful project.
Get Woke, Go Broke...
have we considered Scott is the new Al
I loved Quantum Leap! Killer episodic show.
This inspires me to watch the original seasons on streaming (free on Roku by the way). Let’s be honest, a new show may be good but it doesn’t have a hope of equaling the original.
I think Sam is still leaping and saving Ives on his own.
I think this new cast could be good maybe even solve the Evi leader thing znd maybe she will return and help them find sam.
Also dam had a chance to go home but he choose to set Al's life right first. I think that's what the bartender meant he could only choose one option either be selfish and go home or go fix Al's life.
The Evil Leaper should make appearances in this version.
Everything you just outlined here totally shits on the original series. We WANT a continuation WITH SAM!!!!!!!!!! See, as always, the studios do not listen to the fans, they do what is best for their shareholders. Hate to break the news to you NBC but your shareholders don't make your money, we fans do.
Don’t forget Mario Van Peebles from Jaws The Revenge 🤓
They already did a proof episode whereas a Senate committee was going to end the project unless Dr. Beckett changed a specific part of the time line to show that he could. He failed but the Senate head suddenly became an older version of a woman who announced that they were going to continue the project at this time.
Scott and Dean were 85% of the success of the series. There is NO REASON to have an ensemble cast, much less inevitably with a diversity emphasis. That is fine in and of itself as long as that isn't the motivation to bring this back. With Dean's passing, the whole dynamic of the series is thrown off right off the bat. It only ever needed 2 people.
True but as in life you need to accept someone passed away and move on.
Embrace the new Quantum Leap.
Well I was expecting them to destroy QL with wokedom, seems like that fear was well founded. Very very sad, such a sad thing to happen to the legacy of an awesome show. It doesn't need a reboot to tick woke boxes, the could have continued in so many ways right from the original show but nope Hollywood has to destroy another franchise.
I am really hoping Amazon keep away from Stargate, that is about the only franchise left that hasn't been destroyed by wokedom.
how can you like Stargate, it has an African-American as one of the main characters?
Hopefully we will get to see what Quantum Leap really looks like.
This is a casting call for a reboot not a sequel. Doesnt matter if they mention Sam Becket being lost, they're not gonna bring Bakula into it because they dont care about the original.
I'm out with 'non-binary'. Yet another much loved franchise that will end up burned to the ground because of SJW ID politics and activism. Dr who. Star Trek. Star Wars. Now Lord of the Rings and Quantum Leap.
I almost threw up with that star trek pronoun crap. Every old franchise has been destroyed. I don't care about that woke garbage. I watch entertainment to escape reality. I don't care about made up genders and the hundreds of pronouns.
@@Tomomoto9000 I think, we as a whole are starting to understand that having all these "new" types of characters in all shows is to make the world accept what is. When my partner and i start a new show we takes bets on when the first "non traditional kiss" will take place and which characters will be doing it. I quess Star Trek the original series will also be credited with that, since Kirk and Uhura's on screen kiss.
@@southerncomfort971, if you had really looked at the scene from the Star Trek TOS you referenced, Kirk and Uhura didn't really kiss. It was shot at just the right angle to look as though they had kissed, but really they had not.
@@teresahaviland8447 How they did it or if they did it is not really the issue it's simply the beginning of what we now see in everything we watch even when it has NOTHING to do with the story line, It's like we have to do this to gather favour from that group of people. i mean don't we all watch TV or movies to relate our way of life back to ourselves,? we want to know that we are the same as all or most everyone else. So again the more we see it on Tv the more accepted we become of it. covid vaccine is a great example. Sorry i am ranting again. lol
I can’t help but think that some of y’all don’t pay attention to what you watch. Quantum Leap has had an sjw aspect almost from the start. It tackled issues like sexism, racism, and misogyny. Some goes for Star Trek going back to the original, and other shows. But now you want to bitch? All of you who bitch about sjw content or being “woke” 🙄 need to take a breath and closely pay attention to the message of the show and episodes. Didn’t you learn how to identify themes of stories in high school or junior high? This stuff has been on tv for decades. 🙄🤦♀️
I LOVE your casting selections! Hope Bellisario's watching.
tweet this video to him if he is on twitter. at least tag nbc.
You have to keep Scott in this, same needs to come home. We all waited 30 years for this. Please keep him in the show. I am a big fan
I never wondered what happened to Sam Beckett. I know what happened to him. He kept leaping and doing good only now he had the hand of God more Hands-On leading him along so he didn't really need Al anymore. And every once in a while he leaps into that bar for a little leapers break 😁
It's going to be a piece of crap. I hope Scott Bakula stays away so he doesn't get shit splashed on him. I feel something akin to Ghost Buster's all-female POS and an Airwolf Season 4 vibe.
Spot on, Hollywood today cannot make a decent show because all they cater to is diversity. Its like the President saying the next judge HAS to be a black woman. First off that is racist as all hell and second its not about nominating a good judge, just a judge that looks a certain way. Its more evidence our society is in a deep decline. What they think is progress is anti-meritocracy racist garbage. Pick the best person, and IGNORE their race.
In our opinion (Scott Bakula’s kids Cody and Chelsy) they did our dad dirty and pretty much just gave the middle finger to my dad. My dads pretty upset about the whole thing. And even over the years of me asking him if he would ever do quantum leap he always said he had a great run with it and he just wanted to leave it as is. -Cody Bakula
Riiiiiigggghhhhhttttt.
Absolute LOL at people saying that they don't want it to be 'all woke'. One of the earliest episodes is based on 'Driving Miss Daisy' and has Sam leap into a black man and learn through experience the differences in life experience of black people a mere 30 years before his time, and to a certain extent even then. Al literally talks about the experience of going on civil rights marches in the 60s.
Quantum Leap also has regular moments of Sam's clear disapproval of Al's attitudes towards women and the first episode where Sam leaps into a woman, while played for laughs at some moments, literally tackles issues of workplace sexual harassment.
Yet another classic case of fans of a science fiction show from when they were kids not thinking about/remembering any of the underlying (or sometimes very explicit!) themes explored in the episodes because they just enjoyed it as a piece of entertainment and couldn't be bothered to engage their brains.
That's a very interesting point.
Oh Boy! The description of the idea sounds great! It clearly seems as though they are setting up for "Sam" to make a return! I'm so hopeful! The story NEEDS Resolution.
I think, there is a lot of speculation going on based on what may or may not be a final call sheet that "Someone" saw.
For me, personally, simply referencing Dr Sam Beckett wouldn't make this a continuation. Without Scott Bakula On Screen in the Role, it just becomes another reboot trying to make money on the strength of a hit show from the past.
Name recognition and riding the coat tails of a past success does not a hit tv show make.
I'm going to agree to disagree with you Canundrum Sixnine. Though you have been right about several recent reboots having a poor reinvention, a couple have been nearly as popular as the originals they were based upon. "Walker", being one, "Charmed", being another, which is about to start it's fourth season very soon. It's fair to at least give it a shot and let the chips fall where they may. In my opinion.
I'm really dissapointed! Completely bummed!!! I thought they were going to bring Scott Bakula back and his character but it just sounds like another reboot to me. Why would they do that??? This is a total bummer to me. It really doesn't sound like anything but woke people changing something that wasn't broken. I'm heartbroken. It was a beloved series that had potential and the way it sounds It could be ruined.
Woke crap just like every rebot
I already knew for the title of the video, that it was going way woke
@@MikeBrown-bs7qu if being woke is so grate you think they would have made original story's that are block busters buy now ,what next woke A-Team remake 🤣
YAWN! Bringing back old series for a hopeful revival? Anyone else think this is a bad idea?
The show is gonna be a yawn "go woke and broke"
Find it funny how the video is trying to give this failed woke show, a chance of being good. Ya to a point, showing its gonna fail but still.
Scott Bakula, so the rumor mill says anyway, is eying this AND a Star Trek Enterprise either reboot or guest spot to perhaps setup a reboot, in one of the other Star Trek shows, quite possibly Strange New Worlds. He could EASILY do both as cable shows usually only have about 10 episodes and is a year or so between seasons, instead of months like network TV.
I would love to see the Evil Leaper storyline conclude
We need Scott Bakula because none of the actors suggested have any kind of charismas except for Mario Van Peebles.
Only Trills and Dr. Who can change their race and sex.
there's also scuttle that Bakula is pondering a return to Enterprise
Teri Hatcher (Supergirl [2017]) played a college age version of Donna Eleese-Beckett, Sam's wife. I wonder if she could somehow be in this.
They should cast with who would best fit the part but the use of the term non-binary alone is a big red flag meaning this show is going to end up being a woke dumpster fire. They will spend a full episode on establishing the AI’s pronouns even though a computer is ironically a binary system or wandering from the plot to just do an offside shoutout to a leftie politician. Just take any random new show on HBOMax and you will run into this woke garbage. Star Trek, which was mentioned, has become one of those woke dumpster fires. Don’t get me wrong social issues can be dealt with in a show but entertainment should primarily be an escape not woke sh!t that we already currently get bombarded by in our daily lives.
HBO Maxs Peacemaker.
Leftist politicians are doing more to atleast try and care for Americans. More than Right wingers are. They're too busy taking advantage of the selfish and ignorant. The ones who cry about racist history being taught to children and wearing masks that protect both them, their children and other people. Well, masks that aren't white and pointy at the top.
Having been excited about the revival and the possible return of Scott Bakula; this casting video has seen my interest drop off a cliff.
If true then more tick boxes and casting based on race, orientation etc.
Would it be too much to have casting based on a thing called talent and ability?
You mention Blu del Barrio as a possibility for the non binary character. I actually laughed at that because I've seen amateur acting better than Adira's character in Discovery.
I'm wondering if Sam could be somehow rescued through the lost main character and return to Project Quantum Leap as an advisor, sharing his wisdom and perspectives. Who Sam was as a person was integral to the show and I think a big reason why so many people loved Quantum Leap. If Ben is meant to be a time traveler who can go back in time and return, they could maybe even leap together. Or Ben's leap could somehow result in Sam being kicked back to the Project and Ben stuck leaping. There are so many possibilities that could involve Sam Beckett being a major character and keeping the devoted fans who have loved Sam for decades.
I really want this to work. Bakula is am absolute must. My concern is WAY too many regular characters. The original worked because it was simple- sam leaps in, is helped by AL to do what he needs to do and nearly all the rest are guest stars. It MUST take place in the past because you'll need all that time to develop the story. Past/present won't allow for time. All that said, I will eagerly watch at least the pilot before I decide what I think.
Bakula can't save this woke shit show
3 minutes into this and I want to quit. It reeks of woke. Non binary person, inclusion black person, asian. Two females. One is probably lesbian. I have no faith in this reboot. Just let me see Sam get closure and I am fine with not watching the rest of this trainwreck. It's too much characters as well. They dynamic is even wrong. Just two characters. That's it. I hate it already and they didn't even film the pilot. The whole premise. I hate this business now. So much vitrol
Give me a fucking break - did the casting sheet have "NO WHITE GUYS" written across the top?
From the moment Sam leaps as himself in the "Mirror Image" episode (no leapee involved), and when he leaps to the late 60s and gets to talk to Beth letting her know Sam is alive, don't you think his time travelling becomes more "metaphysical" and less attached to the QL Project? That is, from that moment Sam could travel to any year or place he wants (within his lifetime), and fulfilling missions without Al's help because Al/ Gooshie/ Ziggy couldn't be able to locate Sam, as there was no leapee in the Waiting Room.
Other thing that I've been thinking all these years is the effects of the conversation between Sam and Al the bartender. I understood Sam resisted to the "fact" (according to Al the bartender) that he actually controlled his leaps (not "God"), and that he finally never "got back home" because he preferred to accept that "God" was the one who has been leaping him, so he would be like an instrument of "God".
I think a new series should address the philosophical ideas left loose in the finale, because if they don't, it wouldn't be the Sam Beckett we all know.
Cool something in your message trigger a thought in my own mind. Not really related but i had to share. What if Sam does leap into his own body to fix something in his older life. and after fixing it leaps out again? OMG.
There is also the possibility that when Sam got Al and Beth together time was changed to the point where Al was never involved in the project to begin with. That would have a huge imapact on the timeline of everything changed in the entire series.
so in season 6 is a new person trapped jumping through time while sam beckett is still out there jumping through time as well? so at this point they gave up on getting sam home and are trying to get a different guy home.
I just find it funny how they go into detail with an attempt on making it worth watching. Cobra Kai proves that you can have diversity but still keep things in the right path BUT i dont see that here. Typical of course. How much you want to bet that once this show fails... They gonna blame the fans.
No, Cobra Kai gets away with it because the show isn't all about making it the Main thing. There's much diversity in life but if your main emphasis of a Traditional show is about Time Travel, then don't make the show about proving Wokenes. This NEVER Works. Make the show about Time Travel. If you do hsv race or gender swapping, don't make it about the main characters or the Underlying Theme of the show, or get ready for the show to go Broke...
@@brotherchrisrco1125 Cobra Kai works cause its still centered around the movie series but on a larger scale.
Sounds like I won't need to waste my time checking out another example of "go woke, go broke"...
classioc i grew up on this. My fav episdoees where the evil leaper saga. I hope they dig in deepier to the evil leaper and there hedquarters. That would make a good rival if they use that story on a regular basis.
God I loved this show and have watched CSI:NO from the beginning just because of him.
Well thanks for letting us know they plan on going full Woke... I will already decide to skip it.
It will be a woke mess that will only anger fans of the original show. When the fans complain the show runners and cast will call fans istaphobes. The show will pretty much be an all around failure but will run for at least three seasons out of sheer spite and everyone involved will fail upwards.
Chuds claim that anything that isn't centered around "Aryan" straight people is too "woke." Hell, MASH is probably too woke for you trolls. Besides, anyone throwing this particular tantrum has probably never even seen the original show in the first place... with all the crossdressing storylines and Sam even leaping into a gay person or black person, it would give the average Trumper a conniption fit.
@@mercurydude exactly, these people obviously see the show as some white saviour show. Me, having watched this show as a kid, born in 2001. I loved the way they told stories through time of people down trodden. Black, white, female, cross dressing, sexual abuse survivors, mentally impaired, all sorts of stories of all sorts of realistic people.
But these people complaint about having the main cast come from and represent different types of people. Especially ones who are more accepted today. Is ironic I think.
And that will give Scott the opportunity to return to play Archer again in a continuation! I like the idea of Pauley coming into the show. Kinda missed her.
Worked with Pauley Perrette on a show called Dead Last. She was really nice
oh boy, fans will have a mind snap over this.
