Fate's Wide Wheel: A Quantum Leap Podcast

We endeavor to give you our list of the essential episodes of Quantum Leap in the lead-up to the premiere of the revival series. These aren't necessarily the best episodes, but the ones we felt added the most to the overall continuity of the show and contained information or story threads that may be picked up on or mentioned in the new show. 

Leapers, it's been a minute. But we're back to talk about all the new updates that have come out in the last month and share our thoughts.

In lieu of a brand new episode, we're digging into the archive to bring you our top 10 episodes - each! In January of 2021, we had just wrapped up our original run of episodes and decided to put a period on it by presenting our respective opinions on the series' best episodes. Agree? Disagree? Let us know what you think. 

Note: Sound quality of the original episode is a little wanting due to ambient noise and an unavoidable echo.

Last week, some confusing information came out regarding the order of a new series pilot, which was soon confirmed by an anonymous source attached to the show. We discuss what we know and what it may mean for the new series. 

We also address the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

We continue our Revisited series with our review of Season 2's "Disco Inferno". Sam leaps into Chad Stone, a stuntman on a bad B-movie in 1976. This is great episode for a lot of reasons, most notably for its introduction of Sam's brother, Tom into the Quantum Leap mythology.

If this whets your appetite for more talk about the episode, check out our original deep dive back in 2017.

This week, we're here to give our capsule review of the season two premiere, "Honeymoon Express". Almost serving as a soft reboot for the uninitiated, the episode sees Al fighting for the Project's life back in the future while Sam, in the life of a NYC detective on his honeymoon, fights for the life of his new bride, Diane, against a psychotic ex-husband. Oh, and he also has to fight for his own moral code, as Diane is eager to consummate their marriage  - with a man she obviously doesn't know is not actually her husband.

We had a lot of fun revisiting this episode. For more, take a listen to our original deep dive of this episode back in 2017.

This week, we take a break from our "Revisited" series to read and respond to some listener mail.

- Nicky Sudyn talks about their experience listening to a Quantum Leap podcast hosted by "two tired dads", and explains why Tess picking Wayne in "How the Tess Was Won" was the inevitable and right choice.

- Quantum Leap author Carol Davis gives her opinion on Scott Bakula kissing the underage actor, Holly Fields, in "Camikazi Kid", and her thoughts as a writer as to why it is inevitable Sam/Scott will appear in the new series.

- Damon Sugameli reads an audio essay about his feelings about the new series and the legacy of the classic.

We're back! It's another installment of our continuing "Revisited" series as we plunge into the shadows and pulp of the season 1 finale, "Play It Again, Seymour". After we get through our assessment of Sam's turn as a shamus looking for the dropper who killed his partner, we slide on over to our overall rating of the season. Plus, we have some conversation about the revival series and what we know so far. We pack in a few other tangents and fun bits as Sam's covid brain allows. 

Leapers, we're back after an unplanned break (what else is new?)

This week, we're talking about the news that the new pilot has officially been picked up to a series. We knew it would happen, but man, are we even more excited now!

We're also here with our capsule review of season one's "Camikazi Kid" - an episode that deals with the difficult topic of domestic violence, but still somehow manages to throw in just the right amount of comedy.

We give it our short review treatment and get a chance to revisit the episode after some spooky things creeped into our original review, which dropped on Halloween 2017.

Grab yourself a cheeseburger and a malt and give us a listen.
