Quantum Leap (2022) 1x12: Let Them Play

Where to Watch: Peacock

Spoilers: Probably.

Reactions/Commentary Below The Cut

Why people are mad at this, idk, I mean this show's concept is so damn queer in the fucking first place.

----

I saw an article say, "the waiting room's dead," but didn't they mention it earlier this season?

----

I love how supportive her team is though. That's all that should matter: what the majority of the team members think. They have to know too, since other's don't.

Ok come on, unfair? She's a fucking twig.

Makes sense for the white girl to be the fucking cunt here.

----

I love how the use Ian to show how the timeline updates in real time. It's a cool concept, but it's also a little...fucking with their memory also feels wrong, ya know?

----

Dottie...oh look, she's trans too!

Oh, she was leaped into, right? (Technically I got spoilers of this unintentionally, but I didn't know who it would be.)

----

Oh, Gia's supposed to be mixed race? Half Korean? That was "mom" in Korean. Oh I can't tell, now she looks Latina.

----

Actually Ben should know more than most. Like, he didn't physically feel like a man in a woman's body previously, but he was. Though he hasn't been made to feel like he's been in the wrong body by the people around him yet.

Again I'm think about all the times Scott Bakula wore woman's clothes, and although Sam had been uncomfortable at first, Scott never looked it himself. King shit.

----

And here we have Addison, played by an actual military vet, probably telling a story she can actually relate to. Maybe. I'm not sure the timing of her service and what she's talking about. Oh wait, I think it does match up, since it happened under trump and I think her transition to acting was really recent, maybe just this show? No, she was in something in 2020.

I still can't believe she was born in 1990 and she's 33. I'm YOUNGER than her too, so I shouldn't be shocked. But to see another 90s baby as a grown ass adult on TV is WERID.

----

God this is such an important story. I wish the bigots watched this. I'm thankful NBC didn't veto this episode. They absolutely could have. Then knew about it, and still renewed this show, even though they knew it could kill their ratings. (See: earlier in this post.)

----

Why bitch girl suddenly almost being nice?

(she's still a cunt)

----

Oh yeah! Talk about hypocrisy in people who say they worship Jesus!

----

"force the school" where else is this going to be fixed?

----

They don't let her hang out? At ALL? Even with the teammates that liked her? Even if it's just at their place? Wtf?

----

So many trans people in this episode. I really do love that.

----

Oh good, cunty girl changed. But it doesn't full like en after all that, she would have changed yet.

----

"blood tests and strip searches" which is basically where we are now.

----

I totally forgot I was in the middle of this, oops.

Overalls, great episode, even if it was a little sappy at moments, it was extremely important.
