TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

mike48128 An anthology series, suggested by the 2 "Heaven Can Wait-Mr. Jordan"" movies and (I believe) an obscure circa 1950's paperback novel titled "Timeliner". In that novel, there is also a scientific accident that traps a man into always going forward into someone else's body. However, in that book, he takes the life of that person and then moves on when finished. An unintentional mental-physical vampire. He also finds that it is a known phenomena and others exist as well. This TV version is far more benign. He rights wrongs and fixes history, much like the hero in the TV series "Early Edition". The "temporarily" misplaced person waits in a holding area, and returns to their own body after Sam Becket leaps back out. In one of my favorite leaps, he saves an elderly man from falling from a 2nd story window. Also, in the same episode., he meets a teen-aged "Stephen King" and unwittingly serves as the inspiration for several of King's later classic novels. All this while confronting The Devil and witchcraft in a hallucination or daydream. The leaps in later seasons include Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, a real vampire, ghosts, witches, clairvoyants, a real UFO "passenger" , and a visit from his guardian angel in "It's a Wonderful Leap". The last episode "Mirror Image" is also explained in the IMDb article. In another noteworthy episode, he "leaps" into Lee Harvey Oswald to prevent Jacqueline's murder. Generally fun-to-watch and intriguing. I enjoy it on cable, as 97 episodes are just too many to own or view!. (In 2017, the creator stated that he had written a sequel which could be produced in the future, of course!)

csgollum Quantum Leap was a funny and creative sci-fi show. It tackled everything from racism and discrimination to superstition and religion. And, while the lead pair did appear as blithering idiots on occasion (especially during the 4th and 5th seasons), on the whole it was an excellent show and it took me through a whole gamut of emotions. And there are some pretty surprising (at least to me) cameos. The child actors were pretty awesome too. Kudos to the creaters, the writers, the actors and the rest of the crew.I would give 8 stars for most of the episodes and 6 for the rest, thus an average of 7.

drystyx A lot of better writers had such a science fiction scenario in mind long before this show about a man's spirit (or soul, or whatever you want to call it) being inserted into a past person's body in order to alter future events.It's too bad that producers and publishers are deathly afraid of inspiration, talent, and creativity, because they simply have their hacks rewrite good scripts (which they reject from the original writers) into scripts with no life, no inspiration, no depth, nothing.That is apparently what happened here. This show should have been much better. First of all, it was heavily inundated with neo-Nazi ideology, meaning any woman with dark hair would probably be exterminated in favor of a blonde woman being saved. Needless to say, this was loved by the female audience, but seen as depressing by males.There is also the poorly explained bad science. The writers seemed to be on hallucinogenic drugs, because there was absolutely no format for the scenario. It was all just magic, and that would be okay if it was supposed to be magical and supernatural, but the writers made a huge mistake in trying to say it was scientific.This is about as bad as it gets. Again, the woman will love it, but the man will hate it.

hyf2112 I'm currently re-watching this show on Hulu after not having seen an episode since the finale aired. I loved it back then and rarely missed an episode. Not easy to do in the days before DVR's. While some of the effects have not stood up well to the changing technologies, the subjects of the show itself are still as relevant today as they were 20 years ago. Yes, some episodes fell kind of flat, others were a bit preachy about social issues, but on the whole the show was very well written and superbly acted by Scott and Dean. Like most great sci-fi shows (Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Enterprise), the sci-fi or fantasy aspect takes second place to the actual story. I read a lot of complaints about the 5th season. It did have a few stinkers, but overall I think it was my favorite. The Lee Harvey Oswald episodes (some of Scott's best acting on the series), Trilogy, the evil leaper episodes, and the Finale are all episodes I count among my favorites. The chemistry between Al and Sam is really what made the show so great. It was somewhat cliché with Sam being the straight no-nonsense guy and Al the fun-loving, usual comic-relief sidekick, but the 2 actors really pulled it off brilliantly from the pilot episode all the way to the end. I highly recommend discovering or, like me, re-discovering this series for yourself!
