Alright, we’ll start with a big death. Graham Greene died the other day. I’ve only seen him in a few things myself but I remember him being a dry wit and a classic straight man. Two things I’ve always respected and appreciated. What’s really interesting is that I heard about his passing in the fifteen seconds I spent on Twitter the other day and not through an AP notification on my phone. Do with that information what you will.
Now then, as you may know, I’m a huge fuckin’ nerd. One thing I’ve always enjoyed is Quantum Leap. I watched that show all the time when I was younger. It perhaps initiated my interest in time travel. I mean that and Back to the Future, obviously. I was happy to hear about the new series a few years back but I didn’t have the means to watch TV live then. Or I was distracted, in either case, I didn’t make the effort to watch during its initial run. I finally watched the new Quantum Leap the other day. I really enjoyed it. It’s effectively a sequel to the original series. Continuing the story instead of retelling it. I was expecting a cameo at some point, running into Sam Beckett mid-leap or something but they didn’t do it. Ultimately I think I prefer it that way. I think I need to watch through the original series, one show I haven’t watched beginning to end yet but I will. There were references to the original series that I want to follow up. Long story a little bit shorter, I really enjoy the new Quantum Leap series and am a little sad it only got two seasons.
One more thing. I can start fully promoting my Panel at LA Comic Con this month. So, now that the new app for LA Comic Con will be released today I can start telling you that Podcasting for Beginners will be twelve noon on Sunday in room 402a. Come on by, it’ll be fun!
