Date: 2 Jan 1996 18:05:55 GMT .. when you spend Christmas with some friends and after the Christmas dinner everybody gathers in front of the TV in order to watch QL (and you didn't even tell them that it was on and you wanted to watch it - they did it on their own! :-) So you spend a very happy Christmas Day evening, watching the second Evil Leaper episode, eating chocolates and petting the cat, while your VCR at home tapes that very same episode, and as soon as you get home you watch it again. :-) (One of my friends even tried to explain the history of Al's marriages to me - only to find that I knew more about that subject than she does... ;) .. when you make those friends, as well as some other friends and (of course) your own VCR (even though you don't trust it with such important matters...), tape the two QL episodes you'll miss when you go on your winter vacation to Germany... .. when your plane to Germany leaves so early that you have to get up at 4 am, so you decide not to go to bed at all that night and instead have a QL marathon. .. when you arrive in Germany and, after passing the customs at the airport, discuss the uniform of German customs officers with some friends; and everybody says the shade of green they're wearing is simply horrible, but you disagree, and the only reason you can think of is "because Al would look great in that color". .. when you go to a German post office and find that the shade of red used by the German telephone company would be a great color for Al, too. .. when your Christmas wish list contains only "a hat", because Dean looks so good when he wears a hat (and his hair and eyes are almost the same color as mine, so I thought I might try it, too - yes, I know, whether or not I look good with a hat doesn't only depend on my hair and eye color! ;) ; and when you finally get not one, but two hats your mother says that when you wear the black one you look like Al Capone and you're disappointed because that's not the Al you had in mind. (I guess Al would never wear that one anyway - it's some kind of bowler hat - but the other one *is* sort of "Al-ish".) .. when, while shopping for these two hats with your mother, you desparately look for a certain model but are too shy to ask the salespeople for "the model Dean Stockwell wore in 'Married to the Mob'" (I guess they wouldn't have known that I meant anyway)... .. when you get really excited upon finding "Man of La Mancha" in the TV guide, and you tape it even though it's dubbed in German and you know the voices as well as the translations will be horrible, but it has something to do with QL, so it *must* be worth it... .. and, speaking of dubbing, you *almost* watch that Scott movie you find in the TV guide as well, but at the last minute remember the horrible German voice they gave him in QL and decide not to put yourself through *that* again.

The Quantum leap tv series was left on Wednesday night at 10pm and is still on with ratings holding in the mid 30's. Sam actually leaps into the future in several episodes with crossovers with x-files (including one good kiss from scully). no weird finale. The real finale is set for QL:the movie in which the final showdown between sam and the evil leapers and sam gets go home in the finale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: simon@cc.Helsinki.FI (Julia A M Simon) Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.tv.quantum-leap Subject: You know you're an obsessed Leaper... Date: 31 Jan 1996 10:19:42 GMT .. when you get angry at the publishers of your puzzle magazine because the "People from Indiana" puzzle didn't mention Sam, and the "TV Shows" puzzle didn't mention QL. .. when, after watching the teaser for "Mirror Image" at the end of "Memphis Melody" (next Monday they'll air the final episode and after that we'll have no more QL on Finnish TV *SOB* *SIGH* :-((( ) , you look into a mirror and get quite a scare when you notice that the person you see in the mirror actually looks like you! .. when you walk past a new pub called "Rockwell's", and you read the name as something else... you all know what... ;-) Speaking of Dean, in yesterday's "Blossom" episode all the kids made short movies of their own, and Tony's consisted of about one minute of action and several minutes of beginning and end credits; since he had done everything about this movie himself, all the names listed were variations of "Anthony Russo", and when I noticed "Tony 'the Tiger' Russo" among them, I had a laughing fit. I guess if my neighbors didn't think I'm crazy before, now they do. ;-) (For anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about: In "Married to the Mob" Dean plays a guy called Tony Russo, who is nicknamed "Tony the Tiger".)
