God, I love the chaos at Bridge Day... We've watched it from beneath the bridge on a rafting trip in the past. When the weather is like this, and the foliage... just spectacular. (put differently- if that's the last thing you see, it'd be a gorgeous way to go)

Sooo... the people involved in transporting them were criminals?

These guys ever get a shop in Texas (they're mostly west coast, but have expanded to Miami), give them a try. They do a pretty good job with unique blended flavors: the Halloween selection includes bugs, the November edition has had fried turkey skin and dressing in a variety.

Does having a cinnamon roll every morning at 9:15 sharp count? 'Cause I'd like to think I was ahead of the curve for once.

Not at all sorry if this has already been posted. Lake Street Dive's latest EP is their second "covers" album (here's the first). This is a song that's always been in my head... it's really hard to top the Cranberries (and Dolores O'Riordan!), but damn if Rachael Price's voice doesn't just resonate for me like no other. So excited to see them on Sunday night...

I fail to see the problem here

I agree that it's got potential... it's just been pretty slapdash to this point.

OK, a few additional thoughts… The second storyline (“meanwhile, back in the lab!”) is really dragging this show down. First, it takes away from the “leaping” narrative for the week. Subsequently, we don’t give a shit about Ben or the people whose lives he’s fallen into. Since this was the heart of the original series- we connected with Sam and felt that he cared about the people around him- it’s taking the soul out of the whole concept. Feels like a V8 engine missing 5 sparkplugs. Also, the writing on this second element is really terrible. Because they’re limited in the amount of time they have to spend here, it really feels like they’re just trying to jam two stories together, connectedness be damned. For instance, the most recent episode had the following climactic sequence back in ‘real time’: “Hey, the antagonist is at a house! Look, the door is unlocked. Wait, there’s a rug out of place and a basement hatch under it. Wow, there’s a lot of science-y stuff here, we should take some back with us. Hmm, the antagonist is calling me. Oh no, this place is booby-trapped and starting to blow up! Quick, try to grab something and get out! Whew, we made it out with a hard drive just in time! Hurry, let’s go back to the lab before any other person comes to see what’s happening.” If you watched it, you’ll know that it took longer for me to type that than the actual “action” was being portrayed on the screen. I’m sure that the actors involved are quite talented, but they’re not being given anything to work with. The writing feels like something you’d see in a terrible CBS procedural spin off… this past week, it felt like the “C” storyline from “CIS Tulsa”. Finally, a thought from a friend of mine (huge QL fan): “I’m really glad that they’re working to diversify the cast and the plots/situations, but it’s terrible that they’re still using such terrible stereotypes. Both of the super-smart characters are Asians. The African American is a weary guy who’s seen some things (a low-rent Murtaugh). There are three white characters- a sassy gay guy, the villain, and the girlfriend. Just lazy writing. No reason for me to be curious about them or interested in what they’re trying to do…”

Just a hell of a missed opportunity. It almost feels like a community theatre production "Based on your favorite show from Donald Bellisario... the Spokane Players present 'Quantum Leaping'.

Relevant Connery:

Also really great copy for a Gold Bond advertisement campaign.

Forgot to add... Reminds me a little of Early Edition, that CBS show Coach Taylor was on before he came to Dillon High School.

Not too bad for a start... I miss some of the campiness, and I'm not sure if the extra cast is a good thing. Too bad he didn't leap into a place where they were watching Ghostbusters. Really miss Al's ridiculous stories, ex-wives and girlfriends. Great to see that Ziggy is still consistently inconsistent.
