VIDEO: Zombie Squad June 2025: Quantum Leap (S4E7)

QL is now wiped from the web, where did everyone watch this ep??

Has a TV show injected as much heart into the opening credits as Quantum Leap? I don't know if it's that voice actress, or the heroic sequence of specific edits, but since childhood I completely buy the plight of this time traveler trying to set the world right with each jump. Are there any other opening or closing credits that go, "zero-to-compassion," that hard? ("ER" comes to mind where you see the stress or success of the job affecting the surgeons/doctors in quick edits but it's still small ball compared to the worldview QL built.)

I just realized how much Ben looks like (King/Gerads) Scott Free. Darkseid Is.

The amazing thing about Quantum Leap was that it could do an insane episode like this but still get legitimately dramatic and good in another episode. The Vietnam War episode where he leaps into a guy who is in his brothers platoon is legitimately good.

I watched Quantum Leap during it's initial run, but it was never on the regular. I think NBC moved it around a bit. But whenever I would catch it, I loved it. They did that "Evil Leaper" as a multi part story arc that was really cool. The final episode of the series is wild. Some people hate it, but I think it's fantastic.

I Always wonder what happens in the POV of the person who got leapt into after they return to their body. In the Watts Riot episode,he leaps out of a guy who is holding his dead brother who just got shot in the head.

Listening to patriot games ep now and they're doing the "my son's piano teacher is canceling me" bit. 😂

Hell yeah, great ep Boyz! I used to watch QL religiously as a teen. One of my favorite episodes was Boogyman, which featured a teenage version of ABZ fave Stephen King. Sam leaps into his mentor, a fictional Maine author of gothic horror. He ends up having to fight the devil in goat form. Classic stuff.

Pensacola has a Naval Aviation Museum with basically a whole section dedicated to Miss Baker who was the first monkey to return alive from space. It's crazy to see this little monkey in a space suit/ capsule

I love the premise of Quantum Leap, has anyone watched the 2022/2023 reboot? I just learned about it after researching the Evil Leapers lol thanks Stanger

The boyz are on fire this ep. Holy mackerel. I hope Al and ziggy stop by in future podcasts

I went to a private highschool and years after I graduated the deans son killed someone at a house party playing russian roulette. An absolute tragedy of course, but if you knew the kid it was pretty on brand.

Teens playing Russian Roulette? You telling me that Jason Statham's movie "13", about competitive Russian Roulette might have been a *documentary*???

These guys make me laugh so much

I really love the Zombie Squad intro, makes me miss the Action Boyz promos from the end of High & Mighty

Anyone recognize the female scientist as the mom in Hook (1991)

This just in... Alpha Cappa Zeta house burned to ground when a flare gun was mistaken for a pistol. One frat boy was qouated as saying "At first it was fucking hilarious, Billy's head looked like Ghost Rider! But then everything caught fire...". Firefighters could have saved the house but were laughing to hard to aim the hose properly. More on this later.

no Batboy what the hell??

One of my favorite episodes of Quantum Leap is one that features a cameo by Chubby Checker, playing himself as a teenager while he was actually pushing 60

I think Wolfe covers the space chimps in The Right Stuff. I recall that, based on vital signs, the animal was very unimpressed by its trip to space and back.
