To be fair, I have not seen all the episodes. The pilot, and episode 2 from the first season and now at episode or two of the second season. Too much characterization. His girlfriend being the hologram helping Ben and always fighting about their relationship just gets to me. Weird, the stories that Ben jumps into are very good but way too much of the scientists that operates Quantum leap. They are not interesting and again neither is the hologram girlfriend story. In fact, really a lot of the characters including the main character Ben is not truly likeable unlike Sam Beckett. It was better leaving well enough alone.

This is no Inner Light but still good. But people really have to let go and move on in life. Why it fails for me, it's just the fact if this is supposed to be part of the recurring story of the show then the character of DAX being there blows it. Since Terry Farrell left in season six by her character dying. So, should be no future Dax. That is what happens when you write a story about the future in the middle of a series. With that series going to still run for so many more years then you don't know what actors leave a show and what actors will stay that can screw up a old episode. Don't know if this was helpful.

Watching I guess is pilot of reboot and I can't get though it. Story seems fake, blatant advertising which the original had some of that too. Where the original seemed authentic in the stories this version doesn't. Plus in this pilot they are destroying a very good house to build a useless mansion house. Even in the original I never got this. A family is struggling and you building a bigger house so they can have a larger mortgage plus larger property taxes! In the original there was only a few shows that they actually paid everything off but not with everybody. Think about that if writing to a series like this one to get a makeover. Anyway, I take the original any day.
