> [@](#): > > Perchance you mean quantum torpedo launcher? State of the art photon torpedo launcher is a bit of an oxymoron… I was talking about in the **Enterprise** era of the timeline – when photon torpedoes were state of the art. This is an Enterprise thread after all…? The Voyager Batmobile armor isn’t around yet. ---

> [@](#): > > Sam knew he had to sacrifice his own chance at going “home” to right the wrong for Al. I disagree. He could have leaped home right after he fixed Al’s life. He was still in control of his leaps. He always was and he always will be. The reason he sacrifices his old life isn’t because he blew his shot to get home (he didn’t), it’s more like in order to do the job properly he needs to be able to take risks on his leaps. Risks which he may be hesitant to take if he has a wife and/or kids and some friends back home. He probably helped his wife out as well. Fixed her life so that she never had to suffer through her husband disappearing forever. But as best as I can tell, he can go home anytime he wants. The fact that he never returns home means either he was killed on a leap (doubt it), or decided that he had too much important work to do, and everyone was better off if he never returned. > [@](#): > > I’ll ask her about that when we wake up tomorrow morning, before she fixes me breakfast. Ha! Liar. She told me she was a virgin and that she was saving herself for ME! So that can’t be true, because a woman would never lie about her sex life. Besides, I told her to poison the eggs.

Do you guys wnt me to turn this thread around!? ‘Cause I will, so help me… I just spent the better part of the week fixin’ up a restaurant with about a dozen of the prettiest girls on ten solar systems… ROWWRRR!!! 😃 I always thought the way tptb ended _Quantum Leap_ kept it open for continued episodes, probably TV movie type stuff. But it never happened. ☹ I think one of the things that happened with Sam was that his compassion and willingness to “help” grew exponentially with what he did for Stockwell’s character. When _Touched By A Freakin’ Angel In High Heels_ came on, I half expected to see Sam in some sort of “used by God” mode. But, I’m thinking it never happened. (I stopped watching after the 3rd or so show because of no nudity) btw, ftr, & fwiw, a discussion of any TV sci-fi (or SF) in this thread is fine by me. ---

How about **Enterprise** Bingo? predict how soon (by episode number) the following things happen: 1. Lame allegory episode. 2. Panda style decon scene. 3. Visit to the magic closet of crewman daniels. 4. Travis has more then 2 lines. 5. Travis has more then 2 lines and delivers them in an anything but a wooden monotone. (heh- trick question). 6. Blatent Next Generation plot rip-off. 7. Blatent DS9 plot ripoff (this season’s premise doesn’t count) 8. Blatent Voyager plot ripoff (ditto). 9. The temoral cold-war makes any sense. Get you bets in now- and we will visit this thread for proof. 1st prize is a hot decon scene with your choice of Hoshi or the Chef. Contact Paramount to collect. 🙂 ---

There has to be a **3**. I say by ep 2. there will be a **1**. (I’ve read forward a bit) while there is no assurance of **2** , there WILL be Panda. Trust me. ---

Panda will be had in the slave chick from episode 3, as well as the new marine chick, in addition to our regular Trek babes. The Pandas are multiplying like wildfire! (in other Panda news, the Pandaran is my favorite independent hero in Warcraft 3 expansion) ---

I can’t wait until we get a Suliban crewmember. You _know_ it’s going to happen.
