I gave up on it.
When I was a kid, I remember loving the episodes involving the future and wanted to see more of the project. This new series was a monkey's paw situation for me.
At least early on, the balance between Ben and PQL was awful and the leap felt pretty irrelevant. I realized quickly I didn't care about the team and had loved the original show for Sam figuring things out with his wacky sidekick.
The new show seems like it has bigger stakes in the abstract and yet smaller stakes in the specifics.
It's a fine enough show for what it is, I suppose, but it didn't scratch the itch for me as an original series enjoyer and felt way too 2020s Network Television to me to continue.

She comes back in Lower Decks. She eventually became a captain.

That... wasn't the joke. I mean, it was part of it, I suppose, but it wasn't the punchline. It was the setup to his line. Him saying yes is the punchline, which puts her in her place for saying the offensive thing.

I guess I don't remember the joke then. I only remember the bit where he was kinda fucking with her so I thought you were just another "well meaning" person infantilizing us.

Are autistic people not allowed to joke about/make light of their autism now?
It was akin to Michael J Fox shaking Larry's soda on Curb.

On the citytv.com page itself? Can you link it? Maybe I have access too but can't find it for whatever reason.

Not quite. It's on the cable box on demand, but is not on City's site even when logged in. Even with cable, it can only be accessed online through CityTv+ via Prime.

>he played Shawn
You need the italics to put that little something extra in it like he always did.

>Forth, a Parsec is a unit of length equal to the radius of Earth’s orbit. Which is a very strange unit of measurement for a galaxy far far away.
"He a little confused, but he got the spirit."
You're describing Astronomical Units which, while they are used to define a Parsec, are not the same thing.

MASH is like this too. The show with Trapper and Henry and the show after them are totally different. And then again when Frank left.

Magic is more like Al, except he's not the observer in this one. Gooshie is more analagous to Ian.

Reply to comment by bros402 in What is your opinion on the Quantum Leap reboot? by Bruinsrock11
I made it to episode 8.
After that, I kinda fell off over the winter hiatus. I let the episodes pile up for a while until I realized I just had no drive and got rid of them.
