Quantum Leap Pilot Review!! - Ain't It Cool News

As you have no doubt gathered from my various ramblings on the subject, Quantum Leap is one of my favourite all-time shows.

I’ve seen all the deleted scenes.

I’ve seen the alternate secret ending that was somehow left on the cutting room floor.

I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve travelled through time on a whirlwind adventure with Dr Sam Beckett and Rear Admiral Upper Half Albert Calavicci and I’ve loved every minute of it on repeat on TV, VHS, DVD and eventually Blu-ray?

There are plenty of classic NBC shows you could reboot?

But why touch a classic show like Quantum Leap.

But then one magical day it was announced that the planned reboot was not in fact a reboot but a continuation.

Quantum Leap, S01e01?

If I watch it and I hate it, does it tarnish one of my favourite shows.

This party sequence nicely introduces us to the whole team, which I found to be a little too on the nose but when you are short of time and you have a story to tell… Anyway, Ben then receives a series of mystery text messages telling him things like “It has to be now” and “Our window is closing” and rushes off, ditching the party and his guests.

He then stuffs a bunch of mystery coding into Ziggy, then promptly jumps into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanishes!

I like the pairing of the two and I feel there may be some genuinely funny and touching moments ahead.
