worth watching — 8 weeks ago
We’ve been watching the entire five series of Quantum Leap for nearly four years now – one or two at a time. It was an American TV series featuring Sam, a quantum physicist, who got caught up in a time travel experiment and finds himself leaping around from person to person in his own lifetime, ‘putting right what once went wrong’. We started watching the fifth and final series in the middle of 2008, slowing down as we reached the last DVD. We finally watched the last two episodes a few days ago. The penultimate one had Sam becoming Elvis Presley just before he was discovered; he had to help someone else, but also ensure that Elvis did not lose his chance of fame! I enjoyed that episode. However, I wasn’t so impressed by the final one which was rather confusing, and ended too abruptly. Still, well worth watching. I’m no fan of science fiction, but I love the interaction between Sam and his holographic sidekick Al. Character development is good too, and there are some very amusing moments, as well as some clever references to history, from time to time.
