What do you geek out about?

HAPPY EMBRACE YOUR GEEKNESS DAY!!! Due to Embrace your Geekness Day on July 13, all geeks in the world are invited to feel proud about their peculiarities. Especially in the USA this day is largely celebrated. The word “geek” originally refers to someone who strikes out for his or her strange deeds. Today it's rather a word for people who have a major interest in science or fictional topics. People who get very much into something and mostly if it's from the IT sector are often called geeks.

Quantum Leap "How the Tess Was Won" in a nutshell

EDIT: i made it better

QL thoughts

So here's my reactions to the premiere of Quantum Leap 2022.

First off, I liked it! And it's not a reboot, it's definitely a sequel. Just FYI.

Reminder that my criticisms/nitpicks are not representations of how I felt about the show, just things I noticed, and can look past.

Spoiler warning...

I enjoyed myself and I want to see more, and I'm gonna be antsy all week waiting for the next one

I hope Ben's personality shines in the next episode. In this one, there was too much going on to really nail him down as a character. But it does have the moment where he risks himself to help a guy when he doesn't even have to, which shows that the show is keeping with the ethos of the old series, and making him a selfless altruist like Sam was.

I love Ian, no notes

So cool to see Ernie Hudson as Magic, hope we get more into his past, like if he remembers Sam leaping into him.

Leap plot was rushed, which was a shame. I think the first episode should have been extended or a two-parter, but c'est la vie

It did seem to front-load a lot of things that might not have been needed right off the bat

The effects did feel rushed (like for example when the handlink shows that Scott Bakula DVD cover promo photo and there's a point where the beam doesn't track with the handlink, which is a sloppy mistake) but I mean, I've been a student filmmaker and VFX artist and I don't really care about how flashy it is as long as it gets the job done, and it did.

Addison was a fine character, but as observer she could be better. As many have said, Al's best qualities as the sidekick are sadly absent in her at this early stage. Namely, the costumes that made Al stand out as an obvious anachronism, and the irreverent personality. I don't want Addison to be a copy of that, of course, but so far she does a lot of blending in. But, it's only the first episode. Things may change.

Al's daughter!! A result of Sam's intervention from the QL finale. Nice!

Dedicated to Dean Stockwell 🥺

Scott Bakula has said unequivocally he has no involvement in this series, which bums me the hell out. If this show does well enough, they may get enough money to wave in his face though... right?

Even if they don't have Scott, they could still have Sam as a character, using the face of anyone in the show. So that could get interesting.

When people focus on Buffy and the early 2000s as the beginnings of the "Musical Episode" trope where an episode of a TV show inexplicably has musical rules where everyone suddenly joins in musical numbers out of nowhere:
