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.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
