"Thank you"s go to Sharon and Jo for allowing Brian to post the interview with Trey Callaway, the writer of "A Bold Leap Forward"!! I think some of our questions have been answerd...
I think we already discussed this in the main forum at some point, but now that we have some hard facts from the source, I wonder how they will explain Sammy Jo's age. "Time has a funny way... of being altered by someone else." Are we going to see more of Lothos and his crew? Maybe Ziggy saw the need to find Sam and somehow, someway did something to Sammy Jo?
How could she be a "kid" in 1992 and in her mid-20s in 2006, when she was born in 1967? Those are answers I guess we'll have to wait for, whenever the movie comes out. I don't want to wait that long, though. :lol
... Mike. ^_^
S: Well, as I recall, Deborah Pratt, who created Sammy Jo, told me that in the "present day" Sammy Jo would be in her thirties. I really hate to be the one to initiate a debate before this project even gets off the ground, but Leapers are probably bigger sticklers for detail than even Don, who established Sammy Jo?s birthdate around March 1967.
Trey: Long Live The Leapers! And while you?re absolutely correct about all the fine print details of the show?s timeline, there are really only two ways in which I?m at
liberty to respond: 1) Time has a funny way of altering itself?or better yet, in the QL continuum, of being altered by someone else. So please keep in mind that some objects may eventually appear younger or older in the rearview mirror. ;-) and 2) It was an absolute mandate for everyone involved that the next chapter of Quantum Leap have its characters rooted in present day?and then limit our leaping to Samantha?s lifespan?at least as long as our audience initially believes her life to be.
