So I've been sick as a dog, and getting progressively worse, the last few days. What's more, due to scheduling issues and other commitments, I've also spent the vast majority of that time alone. Well, mostly...
I've been working on my novel and watching Quantum Leap. It was a favorite growing up and is even more so now. So very few shows from my childhood have held up but this one, if anything, has gotten better. Or perhaps I've gotten older, experienced more and it resonates. Either way, I enjoy as much or more now.
The writing isn't dated, deals with issues that most contemporary shows wouldn't touch for fear of the controversy, but always giving them the depth and respect they deserve.
Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell are fantastic, with brilliant chemistry. Al is brilliantly dirty and this, I'm sure, is because I'm getting more of the jokes now. And Sam manages to be the boy scout he always was without becoming preachy or annoying. Oh, and he looks great in a dress. Often, heh. If you haven't watched it before, you should. And if you have, seriously consider going back. It's streaming on Netflix and well worth the time.
