#it's quantum leap btw

[reginaofdoctorwho]

watching a show from the 80s/90s and SOOOO fucki ng mad this would be controversial now. this shit sucks we went backwards

#it's quantum leap btw #for anyone who doesn't know it it's about this guy named sam beckett who ''leaps'' through time into people's bodies and changes their life #and he HAS to change it to get to the next leap #like there's one where he becomes a wimpy teenage boy whose sister is engaged to an asshole #and his buddy al (who is w him holographically) tells him she ends up murdered by him or something #and she's already being abused but the show was like 'victims DO get stuck and think they have no choice but to stay' #and basically he gets the fiancé to almost kill him in front of her (and other witnesses) so that she gets the courage to break it off #and there's one where he becomes a beauty pageant contestant whose friend (another contestant) is tricked #by the pageant photographer into taking nude photos he would later sell and she'd leave home and go missing #this dude (as a like. 5'6" woman) dangles the guy out a fucking window and threatens to drop him until he gives them the film #he's also wearing makeup and dresses and heels during the episode and at one point hair extensions #and there IS a new series now and they JUST had an episode w their leaper (named ben song) leaping as a woman #and like he was wearing the dress and heels but no makeup! where's the stewardess required lipstick?? #but also the new one is great and has a canon nonbinary character who is so fucking cool #but ALSO the original was like. actually popular and the new one is so fucking underknown #and the original had an episode about an interracial couple during race riots and was very on the side of acab #and had a line about how it didn't actually start that day #that it started with the refusals to hire because of race and when the first baby went hungry because of it and #the cops targeting people for their race and you fucking KNOW that people would be going fucking insane now about it

If only I had grey, green, black, brown, yellow eyes; I would stay at home and do something. It’s not that I am curious. On the contrary, I am bored but it’s my duty to be attentive, I am needed by things as the sky must be above the earth.

the thing about dog motif and Sam and Al is that the love isn't actually unrequited, exactly, it's just incompatible with the genre and Sam's celestial journey. i've always said Sam loves like a beacon, their light/love extending outwards in every direction, and Al loves like a spotlight, his light/love focused entirely and with all its intensity on Sam (previously Beth). (which is ironic considering Sam is also the monogamous prude of the duo, while Al is the one who always has a bazillion sexual partners). Al loves Sam because Sam is terminally good, and Sam loves Al but because he's terminally good, because he needs to save everyone, he can't abandon his journey and return that love in equal capacity. in short i am always always Constantly fucking thinking about this:

what a surprise, the lowest rated episodes on imdb.com are the ones with trans/non binary characters... *sigh*

samuel beckett as paul klee's angelus novus (new angel; 1920)

+ laurie anderson, the dream before (1989) + walter benjamin, theses on the philosophy of history (early 1940s) + + s.d. chrostowka, angelus novus, angst of history (2012) + gershom scholem, Gruß vom Angelus (greetings from the angelus) (1921)

#quantum leap #(<- putting this in tags first so it actually shows up lol) #*folds hands* so. i was reading this paper on quantum leap and about the way history is portrayed in fiction #and the paper actually began with that laurie anderson lyric....... and so... it all kind of spun off from there #also there are LOT of translations of Gruß vom Angelus btw. i picked that one because i like the second line being italicized #the link goes to a slightly different translation of the full poem that i like the most as a whole (as it relates to ql of course) #also i would really recommend learning abt angelus novus (the art piece) bc there's a lot of history behind it #it only survived the holocaust/wwii because of walter benjamin (who tragically did not survive himself) #and Gruß vom Angelus was written for benjamin specifically about it. like all three of those points are connected #anyway ummm quantum leap. right. well this is my post about how sam is now an angel to me mentally i hope everyone likes it #i was gonna say stuff about the individual screenshots but you know what... i don't wanna. interpret them however you want. that's art babe #ql #oc

[theloopus]

what does it mean. what does it all mean

#quantum leap #queap #comp #my posts #txt #especially with the second one............ iykyk #episodes are runaway and it's a wonderful leap btw. and catch a falling star obv #im not even done here this shit has layers. fuck im gonna spend my free day making quantum leap comparatives again arent i

[muirneach]

sam knowing a lot about a lot of different things because he has five million degrees, vs al knowing a lot because he has had every job conceivable and gets around is soo good cause it’s like. their combined knowledge is staggering and they don’t have to learn everything cause they always have each other. sam knows a lot of languages but he never learned italian because al will always be there to translate for him. like that’s crazy. that’s love i think

#the last line was my main point but i didnt know how to phrase it so. get the rest of the post too ig #theyre textbook street smart vs book smart btw #quantum leap #im going insane about ql again ive been watching a lot of it recently. show of all fucking time
