Show Notes
Hello, listeners, observers, leapers!
Welcome to Quantum Leap: Revisited with Fate’s Wide Wheel - our capsule-sized reviews of the classic series. Our mission is to rank the show on a scale of 1-10 based on five different categories - writing, directing, acting, production values, and mythology. Each category is weighted based on importance - writing, directing, and acting are each worth 25% of the average, production values are 15%, and mythology just 10%. Our original reviews sought to stimulate discussion, contextualize the episode based on when it was set, when it aired, and when our discussion took place. Of course, we also provided background information and our personal opinions of each episode. That, and a whole lot more. We’re proud of those reviews and they will continue to be available for listeners in our archive. Meanwhile, we wanted the opportunity to revisit the episodes with only our opinion of the categories above - giving listeners a compact rating of each episode of the classic series in the lead-up to the premiere of the new series in the Fall of 2022. Have our opinions changed? For the better? For worse? Will this new rubric yield results that surprise even us? Step into the accelerator and find out as Fate’s Wide Wheel revisits Quantum Leap - one leap at a time in 30 minutes or less.
