HEE! Barb. Go get 'em.
I've been trying to organize, cull, and folderize my dl'd vids all morning. So far? Have watched many. Many. Am still fond of most of them, so culling? NSM.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Gronk. Day 18 or so. Kinda lost count. I need a day off. Tomorrow will be all about trying to register me and my car in Texas, finally. But not so much a day off. At least the show is looking good.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I did stop shy of saying "Bless your heart," however.
"Bless your heart" is Southern for "You couldn't get a clue during clue mating season wearing clue musk, doing the clue mating dance in a field full of horny clues, but I'm too polite to say that OR question your parentage out loud", isn't it?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
isn't it?
More or less, yeah.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And AUGH, no it was most assuredly not Dr. Sam Beckett's corporeal body that made the leaps. It was his spirit/consciousness/soul because otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense, you half-witted, two-toned raving moron!
Um, I'm kind of afraid to contradict you, but I think his actual body did make the leap. There was an episode where he played a guy whose legs had been amputated, but Sam could still stand.

“Not dead yet!”
That's a good point (and I'd forgotten about that episode, actually) but think about it-- how often did he leap into the bodies of women? Plus, the whole construct of him always looking for a mirror or reflective surface in which to check himself out.
And ETA: I'd be a lot more reasonable about arguing the point with the idjit in question if she wasn't such a damned, smug, name-dropping know-it-all about everything.

I suspect that it may have been a retcon, actually, because the episodes where it really became important were later in the show, when it was kind of...sucking.
And by all means, trounce the idiot.

“Not dead yet!”
Her claim is that the show was ambivalent about that point early on in the show, which affected how the novel tie-ins were written. (She wrote a few of them, therefore, she is An Expert in All Things Quantum Leap.)
If anything, the show was clearer about that distinction earlier in the show.

Ooooh. How funny. I just unpacked all of my books, and I was eyeing the QL novelizations, which I haven't touched in years. I should probably get rid of them.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Didn't the corporeal body of the person he leapt into end up in the lab in the future? Was that only in the later sucky shows?
