A new Quantum Leap show could be a lot of fun, especially if Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula were up for returning. Make the show a little more 24 and a little less The Wonder Years in sensibility (the original version had a real dose of 1990s wimp factor and it could be a lot more gripping, along with more material set in the future!) and with its dose of nostalgia could be quite a hit. Of course Sam left in 1997, so he could potentially cross his own timestream after he first leapt!

Get someone new to do the music though and replace the original theme tune which is such a riff on The Rockford Files, The A Team and just about any other work Mike Post did!

#15 I’ll see that and raise you: Patrick Steward editing; Wil Wheaton bringing in the deli tray for the actors; Avery Brooks as Camera Man; Jeri Ryan just hanging around as “Eye Candy”.

With Dollhouse, unlike Joss’s other shows, one could care less about ANY of the characters.
Too bad it got renewed.

Goyer may not be wrong about it not being a sci-fi show. I think it depends on definitions. It clearly has a fantasy aspect, but if science fiction is about the human condition and not about a basic good vs. evil story, then he might be right.

Im realy looking forward to Flash Forward. It has a great premise and if the writing is good will be a big hit. I see it in the realm of Scifi or Supernatural. Something has to account for everyone passing out and seeing athere possible future.

Thing is, Lost could easily enough be rationalised as ‘Plane crashes on a mysterious island, everyone has something to hide.’

But Flash Forward from the outset is ‘The whole world passes out, experiences their lives in the future then wakes up again and panic ensues!’ I mean, that’s sci-fi/fantasy, no way around it! It’s like Margaret Atwood denying The Handmaid’s Tale is sci-fi or literary snobs denying that Brave New World and 1984 are. At the very least, they’re all ’speculative fantasy!’

We are definitely in some weird flip-flopped Mirror Universe where Star TREK is a movies-only franchise while Star WARS is a TV-only entity.
