Quantum Leap's vision of 1999...

[Kane Knight]

So the Quantum Leap spurt of shows has been amusing me today.

It's a fun show, but man, are the visions of the "future" mad cheesey.

[Kane Knight]

Though the world of tomorrow would be more fun if everything was made out of legos...

[bobfinger]

I was so young when that show was on the air. I remember watching it and I used to love it, but I was like 4. Remember that guy with the little computer? that's all I can remember.

[The Mackem]

Al and Ziggy?

[Kane Knight]

Al and Ziggy?

That's them.

That final episode is kinda...Depressing.

[YOUR Hero]

Settle down you guys.

[Kane Knight]

Hey Hero, do you remember what you all thought 1999 would be like in the year 1850?

(Please don't kill me...)

[The Mackem]

Like a lot of programmes/cartoons, I never saw the last one but I understand he was leaping for the rest of his life or something.

He meets up with a bartender/God who basically lays down his options for him. Sam's told he can go home, but Sam instead chooses to set right a major event from Al's life (One he had failed to do at least twice).

The ending is told through a couple of text screens.

Yeah, apparently he never goes home.

[The Mackem]

That clears that up once and for all, now I just need to know how Thundercats ended.

[ColdwaVer]

The ending is told through a couple of text screens.

It was done that way because the episode was filmed before they were notified of whether they were getting another season. They decided that if that were to be the last episode, they could use the text screens to wrap up the show, and if they got another season, the episode would serve as a sort of milestone in which the plot was sort of stepped up from there.

130. The Book of Omens


New Thundera is being torn apart and the Thundercats must present certain artifacts at various dangerous locations that used to be beautiful places, then Lion-O must go into the book and give the Key of Thundera to the guardian of the book "at the 24th hour," or the Thundercats will be frozen in time and New Thundera will be destroyed. But Mumm-Ra steals the book and key and journeys into the book himself. He wants to save New Thundera BUT wants the Thundercats frozen in time. The Ancient Spirits of Evil try to stop Mumm-Ra because they fear if Mumm-Ra goes into the book, their powers will cease to exist. The other Thundercats run into problems also at the locations they are supposed to be at. Lion-O goes into the book using the Sword of Omens and battles Mumm-Ra one on one, neither of them using any magic. Even when Mumm-Ra cheats, Lion-O still wins. The ASOE summon their "champion," Pyron, to then fight Lion-O, but Lion-O gets the dragons in the book to fry him... He presents the key and releases the ThunderCat signal, which turns into a black puma. It runs to all the TCats, unfreezes them, and restores the places to their original state... just in time.

I remember that...Vaguely...

[Kane Knight]

What usually pisses me off is the series that don't end.

You know, they get axed with no closure at all...Sometimes, right in the middle of a story arc.

Tomorrow People was a good example.

Galaxy Rangers is another one...

Teknoman sorrta counts...The UK version finished, but the US version did not. The original, Tekkaman Blade, also finished. Saban (Of the power Rangers, and the old X-Men cartoon) purchased one season, and someone purchased Season 2 and didn't air it. Meanwhile, because he didn't own season 2, Saban pulled season 1.

[YOUR Hero]

Dark_Kane will be revealed as Kane Knight's clone, 1/8th the size, 1/8th the intelligence.

That'd make an interesting casual thread. :Ds
