I wouldn't go so far as to say there are no plot holes. I've commented on several of them. This is still a great show. Gregory, I don't think you realize that this show was not "predictable" in a time in which there were no shows about a scientist traveling from one reality to another every week or about a character that make take on different persona's constantly, and never had been. There was no "Sliders" no "Star Gate", no "Pretender," no "Doll House" all of these and many more have been imagined and come to exist in part because of Quantum Leap. There is a certain degree of conventionality about the shows moral perspective, which is typical of television then and now. The science on the show (at least when you listen to what they say is happening though not always when you look at it in execution) is a reasonable speculation based upon the state of scientific knowledge at the time and still no terrible inconsistent with the state of scientific knowledge. The religious aspect is within the mainstream of U.S. opinion of the relationship between fate and free will. The perspective of the show vis a vis sex and gender is both appalling and internally inconsistence, but this is also typical of the era. But this is a show most people, including me can both enjoy and feel mildly intellectually stimulated by. I wouldn't call that a waste of time at all.Having says all of that, Patrick, honey, take off the extra testosterone patch and calm down. It's a T.V. show, not your mother's honor. You don't have to defend it to the death.   See 8 other replies
