'Dirty Girls'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Scott Bakula is still hot, when he is not required to have a bowl haircut by his contract. And interact with breast implants and space cadets, ha ha.
Dana and I are one in our Beckett love. Le sigh. That show was just the right amount of mushy, without being too manipulative (most of the time). It was so sad for me, realizing Sam didn't remember the lives he'd improved by being in them.
Bad haircut and dull writing?
Oh, god, that episode made me cry too!
And the finale got me as bad as Chosen did.
"Quantum Leap" had two great selling points for me. First, that the little people and their lives really did matter. And second, each time Sam couldn't just be himself, he had to adjust to the body he was in, and experience that person's life, and learn to use their means. And with all the time he spent as women, he could make a kickass SNAG, or drag queen.
I really liked QL. I think it was the Peggy Su-ee! episode that hooked me. I wasn't the least bit fannish about it, so I have no idea what the episode titles are.
And the finale got me as bad as Chosen did.
Dana, I was once randomly in a bar that was SO QL Finale I kept blinking.
Man, I loved that show.
I also never knew episode names, although we all watched it as a family faithfully enough to chase it down every time it changed nights/times (many). I loved it the first time Sam was a woman -- and the fact that he got better at it as the series went on.
Quantum Leap -- making the early 1990s safe for hand-wringing liberalism!
I was pretty pissed off at the QL finale. Sam should have gotten home. It's not like they couldn't have found an excuse for him to leap again, someday.
Not getting to go home to your wife and friends? Argh.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANIEL!!!!!
And what WAS the finale?
Loving QL is why I couldn't take Enterprise seriously, even before it totally sucked. I watch Scott being all captainy and just think 'Boy, have you leapt into the wrong place.' Any minute Al's going to walk in through a wall and start drooling at T'Pol.
Speaking of Al, did anyone see that Stargate ep where Al was Jonas's mentor, only he was schizophrenic? Now that was weird. But well done, I didn't figure it out, the first time around.
