(To the moderator: This is more of a BLF post, but I was afraid of posting there due to the hacking. When things are settled, go ahead and move this there.)
I feel like having some fun, and we could all use a diversion. Let's say that a sequel series focusing on Sammy Jo is green-lighted (think positive!), and we were all hired as writers. What leaps would you put her in for the series?
Here are a few ideas I'd try out. Go ahead and say how horrible they are , and by all means add your own. Don't worry too much about plots; the fun is in imagining her "Oh, boy!" moments, like the ones Sam had.
Note: I'm not too sure what the ABLF writer has planned, but when I created this list, I pictured a mid-30s Sammy Jo leaping between roughly 1970-1995, helping regular people instead of celebrities or news figures, and unable to change big events like the space shuttle explosion (though they could be backdrops).
-- nun helping street kids
-- (male) high school football player
-- Dallas Cowboys cheerleader (1970s, when they first became popular)
-- nursing home patient/client
-- college basketball coach (witnesses players abusing steriods or drugs)
-- Southeast Asian "boat person" refugee (late '70s)
-- "Valley Girl" (early '80s, "fer sure!")
-- baseball fan in Candlestick Park during the World Series earthquake ('89)
-- political activist/lobbyist (Kiss With History: gets Monica Lewinsky her first internship)
-- female soldier in the first Gulf War ('91)
-- stripper (hey, if her father leaped into one ...?)
-- gymnast (witnesses teammates with bullimia)
-- geisha
-- televangelist ('80s; complete with big hair and outlandish wardrobe)
-- female professor at all-male military academy
-- teenage runaway
-- gangsta rapper
-- undercover police officer (leaps into a streetwalker disguise at first, but then stumbles into a more serious situation)
-- Catholic priest (male, of course)
-- LPGA golfer
-- farmer struggling with foreclosure
-- immigrant taxi driver in New York
-- ballroom dancer (assuming the actress can cut the rug decently)
-- rioter AND cop in '92 Rodney King aftermath (two-part episode; she leaps first into the rioter, and immediately after into the police officer dealing with the rioter)
-- "urban cowgirl" ('80s; remember mechanical bulls?)
-- Santa's Helper in a mall (yes, this would be a Very Special Christmas Episode)
-- Nashville country singer hopeful (assuming the actress can carry a tune)
-- panhandler
-- first female rabbi in a temple
-- bride whose wedding gets interrupted (a lighthearted episode: Sammy Jo leaps in at the altar, the priest says "Speak now or forever hold your peace", some guy bursts through the church doors and says "That woman is my wife!")
-- grunge rock singer (early '90s in Seattle; no natural singing ability required!)
-- cult member or leader
-- grade school teacher who can't control her students
Thanks, Michael L.
