Uhg.  I had such high hopes for the new Quantum Leap, but they made it all boring and stupid.

We need video of that behind the scenes.

HEY YOU! GET YOUR DAMN LOGIC OFF HER(E)

What a reasonable, empathetic response to a throwaway scene on a superhero show.

While I am ambivalent to the whole scene (I just don’t get the appeal), I’m also more than willing to admit and acknowledge that *MY* ambivalence does not in any capacity diminish the appeal of it for the audience to whom it does appeal. And to that part of the show’s audience, I happily and sincerely say, “Enjoy!” (wi…

This is an embarrassing moment in pop culture no matter what side you’re on.

Loved this show as a kid. Here’s a good history lesson about its creation:

To every single one of my doubters I would like to say I TOLD YOU SO. Teach you to call me a liar.

brought to you entirely by the magic of the 80s and the wonder of cocaine!

So I remember loving this show as a kid and wondering why it didn’t last very long, but now I know. I do also remember being a bit freaked out by his transformation and I suppose being about 10 years old at the time, all I could think of was “what happens to his dick?” but of course the answer is Stick Shift! No…

I’m not. It will be too many people in one area and I haven’t dodged COVID-19 just to get it from a $3 movie.

Loved “Bat’leths & BiHnuchs” (“Bat’leths & Cowards”, for the record) - I’ve never played the VHS games it was partially referencing (though I am aware of them), but I started getting into D&D a lot over the last few years and I’ve wondered frequently what a 24th century TTRPG would look like. Like, not just a medieval…

But there’s so much going on just as “yes, this is a bit” gags that there’s not really enough time for the main story to focus on anything beyond Boimler and Mariner’s plights—much to the frustration of anyone hoping that the series had started to figure out how to give more time to Tendi and Rutherford, who largely…

Megalopolis sounds like the burned-out former ‘70s auteur version of those Atlas Shrugged movies that came out a decade ago.

I also found it appalling that Disney/Lucasfilm did not have an overarching plan for the trilogy other than just make movies.
