Leapin' Through Time

scarlet blvd.

Fuck it, let's do this.

Recently, I've been watching this:

And I've realized, it's a pretty awesome show

For those who don't know, it's about Dr. Sam Beckett,
This guy

along with his buddy, Admiral Al Calavicci,
That guy

and some top scientists who have created a top secret machine

to send them back in time. However, because their funding was going to be cut, Sam uses the machine too early.

This sends him back into time, fixing problems in order to leap into the next life, hoping he'll be able to get back to his own.

With no idea who he is each leap, he has to rely on others or Al to tell him his background.

Al contacts Sam as a hologram and using the supercomputer Ziggy, he has to help Sam figure out what he's there to do

A few of his encounters include:
Bein' Rambo

Makin' out with babes

Bein' babes...:winky:

Connin' people

Bein' blind8-)

Gettin' executed

Slingin' guns

Bein' a Jew Priest!

Say what you will, but Bakula is a kickass acting machine

Screw you Phare, this will not crash and burn, only slowly run into a halt and be forgotten

Penguin Incarnate

I'm really looking forward to The Time Traveller's Wife, too.

The Otaku Suppository

Scott Bakula, son of Dracula and Blackula

never actually seen this show

though I will say that one of my favorite lines from Tiny Toons ever is when, during the christmas special with the obligatory "it's a wonderful life" parody, buster says "I feel like I'm in a bad episode of quantum leap"

that made me laugh as a kid and it still makes me smile now

TheySlashThem

also the title made me think of "the girl who lept through time" which is some anime movie I haven't seen either

Lost Salient

I love the hell out of Quantum Leap. I got the seasons on DVD as a gift, and it was totally unexpected and awesome in every way. I rewatch it waaay more than I would have anticipated.

Also I love Al, and the last episode is awesome.

Penguin Incarnate

I love that Cher song "If I Could Leap Through Time!"

I actually saw this. It was alright

Orikaeshigitae

this thread makes me think of both seven days and early edition

i wish i'd seen this show, though, it seems like i'd like it

Monkeyfeet

oh man Early Edition was my favorite show to watch with my grandma. That and Walker Texas Ranger

Calamity Jane

teenage mutant ninja turtles game on xbla soon looks great

#pipe

I can only ever remember the episode where he's some pool shark

and Ziggy plots the exact course of the cue ball with lasers and Sam is like whatever dude and believes in the heart of the cards and takes a pot shot

DJ Eebs

what about the special episode where he was a vampire and he looked in the mirror and couldn't see anything

he was scott dracula and no this isn't just an excuse for a lame pun I swear this episode actually happened

Olivaw

The theme of Quantum Leap is ingrained into my brain even though I've only seen a few episodes at best

I guess that says something!

Balefuego

Oh boy.

Anime movies are usually pretty putrid with a few exceptions but yeah, that one wasn't bad. I may or may not have teared up at one part, shut up don't judge me.

How can it be your favorite line if you don't know how great the show is?

TDOT I love you so much for this. Time Squad is probably what got me into history and giving thumbs up all the time.

Also Quantum Leap is a damn fine show and I frequently have to prove this to the people I know and love. Seriously, what's not to love about this programme?

because I was still aware enough of the show's basic concept to get the joke

edit: same applies to the time Freakazoid made fun of it, really

doublehawk00

best thing about quantum leap was al's ziggy communicator

i made one out of lego as a wee lad

Ringo

What is Nads doing in Matt Fraction's chair?

Calamity Jane

fraction does not look pleased

Oh man can we talk about Freakazoid now

Because I love Freakazoid

Indie Winter

You know what was also a great show?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVR320FouqE

the episode where the black dude was elvis was the bestest thing ever

slow

freakazoid was seriously great

Balefuego

for some reason the one episode of Freakazoid I always remember is the one where they "censor" all the fight scenes and just show like an aquarium or butterflies and shit.

Yeah, that was a good one

The best ones were the ones with Ricardo Montalbon in them, though!

I think the writers relished writing goofy things for him to say

Didgeridoo

I totally thought this was going to be a thread about that 'Time Traveler's Wife' movie, and was thoroughly prepared to mock the op in a merciless manner

I'm a little disappointed now, I had some pretty good burns lined up

But this show is good, too.

TheySlashThem

time traveler's wife?

Didgeridoo

The ridiculous-looking chick flick that they're advertising the shit out of right now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USUDlMBR-dQ

Also kind of creepy with the adult guy time-visiting the six year old girl

Monkeyfeet

I'm going to watch the Time Traveler's Wife and love it.
