I don't really know anything about NBC as a network, so I can only judge the trailer against the original show... And all I can say about it based on that trailer is... Oh boy...

 

That's not a fair assessment as the show hasn't started yet, so I'll give it a few episodes to get going, but yeah.. So far... oh boy...

Quantum Leap Vet Scott Bakula Reveals His 'Very Difficult Decision' to Pass on NBC Reboot

 

That stinks. Maybe he'll change his mind later on if the show is successful.

It's a damn shame, but we have to respect his decision.

 

Pity though...  Maybe at some future point he'll agree to a special or something... Maybe to finally bring Sam home?  I know the original said he never did, but I wouldn't object to a retcon of that.

So did anyone catch this last night? Was it any good?

I liked it... they piqued my interest with the little mystery they set up.  Definitely will be watching a few more episodes.

Just watched it, I thought they were respectful to the original, and I like the characters so far.

I watched 3 episodes and then had no desire to watch any more. Nothing wrong with it specifically but it all felt a bit generic. A box-ticking post-Galactica by-the-numbers revisiting of a classic series. Nothing I haven’t seen before so why bother…

It's not the continuing story of Sam Beckett, so I haven't even bothered. 

I mean, that was the one part of it that pleases me - not a remake or recasting, but a later continuation of the overall story. But it felt like through all of that, they’d essentially learned nothing and were back where they were before anyway. Oh boy…

Ba ba ba bah babababa ba ba ba baaaaah... dodododo dododo do do dooooo!

Yeah queue the intro with the ginger kid crashing his Greece-esque car, Sam punching someone out then giving the thumbs up.

I love how he felt guilty about kissing other women as he was a 'good guy' then once he found out he was married it totally ######ed him up.

RIP Dean Stockwell.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
