Delay your emails. If someone requests something at 3:00pm and needs it that day or early in the morning, even if I finish it at 4pm, I’ll set my email to delay the send to like 7:13pm. They’ll be thrilled you got it to them so quick AND it will look like you were working on it until late into the evening. The key to…

And then I clicked the star on your comment!

One of my all-time favorite shows. I still get emotional thinking about the ending they aired. I think it was the perfect (tragic) way to end the show.

“Oh Boy...”

The short list of truly amazing “reluctant hero” characters is pretty much only “Dr. Sam Beckett”. Period.

And I think the nicest ending that series could have had was the dark sad swift kick to soft and tenders that we got. I still can’t hear “Georgia on my mind” without having to fight off a whole cadre…

So I know spoiler alert for things aged in the decades are an internet cliché now, but this article got me thinking:

That’s the truth of the finale that many viewers (and Sam) struggle to accept.

“For years, the biggest mystery of Quantum Leap hasn’t been why Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) was never able to return home“

Damn.  I’ll admit it.  This got to me.  big time.

Well said. I think the experiment was fascinating, but I believe you are mostly correct. People have “gone off” on the alien thing ad naseum. When I was in Peru I went to Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu where my travel companions were espousing the whole “aliens did it” right in front of our guide. Worse, there was…

You are kinder than I. I do not forgive those who see something that they do not understand and then default to aliens or gods. I want them to be boggled then say I will go find out and research not default to absurdities.

Glad to see someone other than me is crusading against discrimination against ancients... Waiting for the day when we get break the barrier and finally a representative share can be promoted to the management positions they deserve.

While I kind of agree with you, I still thing some level of intelligence and engineering went into it. Maybe not to the level this article is implying. 

I think anyone that cannot imagine ancient civilizations building great things and therefore yell “ALIENS” is coming from a mindset of colonialism and racism. Ancient people were smart and capable enough to build what they built.

YOure not alone in the sense that anyone, enjoying anything, in any medium for a few decades is going to start seeing repetition.

You are not alone, although I would say this months list looks to have more original stuff (or at least fewer sequels) than most of the monthly lists they put up here. I’ve pre-ordered 2 already.

no, though I’d argue that Ann Leckie is the exception up there. Well, and Charlie Jane Anders. Well, ok, Jim C Hines. Actually, no, I guess I disagree to an extent. Genre fiction has always been full of re runs and new takes on old stories and always will be. It tends to stick out like a sore thumb too. But there is…

A new space opera trilogy begins as a princess goes on the run to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage—which works for a few years, until she’s captured by her furious ex-fiancé’s family and must trust a fellow fugitive (who just happens to be a dangerous outlaw) to help her escape again.
