Well now we know. I wonder if she is going to somehow be a link to Sam and the start of Quantum Leap. It’s doubtful she’d be in the present, she’d be nearly 100.
Hannah is about 100 times hotter than Addison, so goodie for ole Ben, lol.
This one one of the best episodes of the news series in my estimation. Ben gets to punch a Nazi. Had the references to Operation Paperclip. I think the situation with meeting up with Hannah again is going to set up an arc within the series. As you mention her age would make her 100 by the present day so it won’t likely be there (then). She could certainly be involved with the origins of protect quantum leap.

This week's Salem Witch Trials episode was very by-the-book. The time traveler taken to be a witch thing is very played, and the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court twists were pretty predictable. An okay episode, but not great.

I agree. I realize they’re going to recycle
plots, but usually they try to bring some new twist to it. I also didn’t much care for them suddenly making everything with Ben/Addison all cheery-o again.
Looks like next week is the mid season finale. They haven’t announced that it will be coming back in January either, so it may be a while for new episodes after that.

Rebooting a classic show with minorities for its lead actors is cultural appropriation. But there's nothing wrong with cultural appropriation so go for it.

I hate "Wokeness" and this is the most "Woke" show ever...and I love it.
They should show this show to Middle School kids...frick Degrassi!

Can you share a few examples of wokeness? I’m probably going to watch this but not sure about my 10 year old. Also where can I watch season 1?

Peacock App...its all about acceptance...the cast has white woman, trans woman, Asians, Black Man...diverse cast...
Each show is about accepting others who might be different. I love it because I don't give a shite about about things like that...but your average Fox News regular would hate it.

quote:The leaps have the same level of wokeness as the original series (occasionally leaping into a minority). The ongoing "complaint" would be that one of the main characters is trans or just dresses in drag. They never go into it, but he/she is a guy who wears make-up and feminine clothing. The thing is, he/she is a great character. The actor is one of the best on the series and delivers on a weekly basis. That character also has a girlfriend who appears to be a regular girl.

Up to you as a parent. If it was me I'd rather my 10 year old ask questions about a stable character like this instead of some cartoonish flamboyant trans character from some other series.

They did a whole episode on it in Season One.
If I had a kid...which I don't...I would let them watch around 8 or 9...and I would watch it with them and have discussions on why Ben chose to do what he did and why it was the right thing.
The original was pretty much the same with an 80's twist...for example...we have all seen the gif/meme of Sam realizing he was "retarded." They would never use that word today...which I understand.

I would think that most episodes would be appropriate viewing for a 10 year old. Most of the weekly episodes are just stories of the lead character jumping into a situation to fix (like stopping Nazis looking for Einsteins theory, or “Aliens” causing a car crash, a bank robbery).
The supporting character some find issue with is what they call “non-binary” I believe, which basically means he wears makeup and some women’s clothing. As FK said, the character has a girlfriend. I also think the character (who does all the computer stuff) is one of the better ones on the show and a good actor.
The only one that I might advise discretion with for a ten year old is the season 1 episode with the transgender girl basketball player - I personally thought they handled it well, I’d have no problem
with my grandsons watching it with supervision, but some might disagree.

Yes...I was referring to the basketball episode.

I just watched episode 8.
This one had a cool setting in Egypt in 1961 and a cool leap of the week as Ben was trying to help a lady defect to the United States before the East Germans could get her. Sure enough, in addition to the plot…guess who is in town for a convention, none other than Hannah! Did I mention she’s much hotter than butter face Addison?
Anyway, dont want to spoil the action but it certainly served as a pretty strong mid-season finale and also kinda reinvigorated Ben. Pretty good episode

So season 2B started with what I think is one of the best episodes leap wise of the new series. Basically, Ben leaps into a Midnight Run type situation where he is a bounty hunter trying to return a fugitive.
They are being chased by bad guys and along the way are in need of a doctor, who happens to be the guys brother and …what a coincidence….is also married to Hannah. This of course creates a bit of an awkward moment, but they don’t really have time for it due to the action.
Back at QL headquarters they’ve found some “mysterious code” from an old DARPA project that might bring Ben back.
At the end of the episode, Addison tells Ben that Hannah’s husband will die in 18 months from a brain aneurysm but before Ben can tell her, he leaps…
There are only four episodes left, and I believe the finale will be four hours. I’m speculating that the mystery code will
either be written by Hannah or somehow tied to her. She also had a son in the episode who she was teaching science to, so he may fit in somewhere.
Hopefully they keep this show going and it gets renewed for season three. It’s starting to hits stride. Stinks that they bump it around so much in the schedule, but maybe that’s not as big a deal
Now a days. The writers strike may also serve as a blessing, as instead of getting a longer season with a few dud episodes, they focused on making all the episodes strong.

The second episode of season 2 B was a bit of a disappointment.
Ben leaps in to one of three sisters who are at the reading of their father’s will. He leaves each an object that has a part of a treasure map hidden within. Of course,
the father had be estranged chasing treasure and the sisters fought, but then they came together and had a wonderful bonding experience, dad said the real treasure was family and they were all happy….and found them real treasure to
boot also.
In the middle of this, they decided that one of the sister (in 1953) would be transgender. Now, I’m not some
snowflake who wines and cries about something “woke” - I didn’t have a problem with the season one basketball player episode - but this time it did feel forced not relevant to the plot.
Aside from that, a week after Addison being all gung-ho about getting married now she ain’t. Of course, Ben takes the time to write his new paramour a letter about her husbands premature death and making his leap-sister promise to mail it. Oh, and now Ian’s girlfriend’s boss found out what she did, and has showed up at QL headquarters looking all menacing.
There are three episodes left.
I have a feeling that rather than “resolve” anything there will be some type of big reveal (maybe what Hannah’s connection is) that leads to a cliffhanger with a new big-bad coming out of it setting up the story arc for season 3.

They cast non-binary actor Wilder Yari as the non-binary sister. That’s how you fricking do it. Not some placeholder non-binary who can’t act. They went and found a real actor who could carry the episode.

I wonder if Hannah has a connection to Sam Beckett. Perhaps his mentor/professor.

I hope they don't end season 2 (possibly their last) with a cliffhanger.

Iirc an article I read said that the Hannah-Ben storyline “will be resolved”.
The on-screen introduction Gideon makes me think as well as the reveal a few episodes back of the old DARPA project code makes me think there is a lot to be resolved in just three episodes.
My guess is that we’ll get some type of open-ended or fake out…maybe where Ben has a choice to leap back home but it will result in Ian’s incarceration or death…maybe he gets home but goes back into the machine.
Or, maybe Tom sacrifices himself to become the leaper/bring Ben home/save his wife and now that have to find him?
