3/10
Leaping the shark? Oh boy.
7 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Well it's the third episode and all I can say is anything goes now that they've opened up the 'leaping zone' to any time anywhere and added the second hologram station? Or will it be a second leap station? (meh)

This means Ben could leap into some of the same times as Sam or even further back in history - heck, could he and Sam leap into the same body at the same time, why not?

They still haven't discussed the waiting room, at all that I can recall.

You have to let go of SO much to allow this story premise to play out, very much like the original.

The cast (Bakula/ Stockwell) made the original series fun to watch, the stories were mostly morality plays with transparent themes.

This cast is not as appealing and there is WAY too much time spent in the 'here and now' with the lab crew and the subplot of Al's angry daughter. So will she become the evil leaper? (one of the dumber story lines of the original series).

Unless they bring Bakula back in somehow, I don't see how this show doing a second season.
