Whatever your feelings are about Quantum Leap (2022) -- love, hate, or indifference -- you can't deny this.
The show is aware of the baggage it's carrying as a sequel series to a beloved original.
Take this exchange between Ben and Addison on Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 6:
Addison reveals the possibility of another leaper, and Ben wonders how he can concentrate on the leap of the week with all the intrigue happening back at Quantum Leap headquarters.
Good question, Ben.
So far, the leap of the week has been the least exciting part of the revived Quantum Leap.
It's partially because of the changes to television since the original aired back in the late 80s and early 90s.
One TV shows are willing to provide answers to series arc questions a lot sooner now. Secondly, shows are far more serialized now, which, in turn, has downplayed the importance of the case of the week portion.
Incorporating the original series into the current series was a good choice for several reasons.
