poor Ernie Hudson. I bet he cries in his trailer a lot.

quote:

Ernie Hudson, known for the Ghostbusters movies, is playing Herbert “Magic” Williams, a Vietnam veteran and head of the time travel project at Quantum Leap who using a bit of politicking and his military know-how to keep the Pentagon at bay, buys the team some time to rescue Ben but expects answers once he’s back.

Nanrisa Lee is playing Jenn the head of security at Quantum Leap headquarters.

Mason Alexander Park is playing the non-binary character Ian, the chief architect of Quantum Leap’s AI program.

Caitlin Bassett is playing Addison, the project lead at Quantum Leap HQ who operates state-of-the-art technology to communicate with an individual time traveling in the past.

No Gooshie?

So it's a reboot not a sequel?

this one’s easy to boycott because it looks terrible but I refuse to participate in their mental illness.

Sounds more like a multiple personality crisis than an identity one. How many of them are there?

Just make good television, goddamn. Any time a cast mentions being "diverse", I automatically assume it sucks.

Ernie Hudson's "Magic" character is a throwback to a person Sam leaped into to save his brother in Vietnam.

Man. I wish they would have just given the original a good ending. Knowing he never made it back home is sad.
