I liked it. OK, I’m an easy mark. I liked _Independence Day_ despite its flaws. But I was a _Quantum Leap_ fan who would have appreciated more interaction between Sam & the people from his own life. So this appeals to me as an attempt to do that kind of thing. I don’t know the lead actor from anything, but he’s remarkably convincing as Reed Diamond’s brother, especially for a Brit. The implications of the love quadrangle are provocative if not terrifying. (Put in spoilers but really, this is part of what makes this so different from other time travel shows, so I almost didn’t: )He married his brother’s ex after his fiancee died, & now he finds out his fiancee is alive–sorta.That’s a high level of potential drama from the main characters, & as long as they strike a balance between that & the project of the week instead of being all one or the other, I think this will be quite different from QL/Early Edition/Sliders/whatever. And, c’mon, Moon Bloodgood! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/just-saw-journeyman-and-ive-seen-it-before/420387)._
