    I pretty much stopped watching religiously after that. It was here and there from then on in.




    that show right there was the poster child for writers or HPIC taking it out on people they hated behind the scenes. the chick who played wade (sabrina lloyd) hated maggie (kari wuhrer) by all accounts because she was apparently a mega bitch off camera. so a meeting of the minds too place and wade was written off as being led to a breeding camp and presumably killed after she served her purpose. but in later episodes she has a slight measure of revenge against the "maggots" by helping remy escape



    also the professor was written off in a similar manner. never shoulda let david peckinpah take over. he doomed the series but he also died a fairly early death.....

    While I don't see how a remake changes anyone's prior experience with a classic movie or TV program, you have to admit the same mistakes are being made over and over and over...

    "Bakula said that he and Dean Stockwell, who played hologram and time travel guide Al Calavicci in the series, were too old to return to their roles,"

    "Too old" to return? Quantum Leap’s premise is about time travel, the characters can be any age you like. Also, Bakula ain’t exactly a grizzled old man. He could easily pull off an updated stint as Sam Beckett and no doubt it would bring fans of the original on-board.

    Plus, everyone seems to have forgotten that the sci-fi/time travel premise was simply a device to frame stories packed with social commentary. It isn't going to translate very well as a dopey CGI-laden action spectacle.

    Dubious, you mean to tell me that there are stories from a movie/show that can exist primarily intended to tell a story with CGI/special-effects as nothing more than backdrops to the actual story itself? Wow, that just sounds shocking to me. Nah, you have to be pulling my leg. No one in their right mind would focus on telling a good story above and beyond just focusing on kick-ass CGI and special effects.

    Well, that's a shitty way to devide which character lives or dies.

    They actually have the series on netflix to watch instantly for free.

    Me thinks i need to give it another try.
