The new show has been a little controversial among fans on the old series but I love both of them.

I genuinely had no idea that was still a thing and thought this was going to be a Quantum Leap based time travel joke.

Yes. Also they're already talking about season 3 but I don't think I saw the announcement that it was confirmed

Well the new series is 40 minute episodes so you're not gonna be able to catch up in time for the finale but it's definitely worth watching.

Unlike the original series there's a long continuing meta plot so you have to watch them in order.

If you stopped after the break, you've only got a few episodes to watch.

I should rephrase.
I didn't even know season 2 started at all. I only watched all of season 1.

I will also take this approach. Haven't watched any remake of anything. Maybe the awful total recall. That was enough for me.

If it makes a difference, its a true sequel series and not a reboot. One of the characters is even someone Sam jumped into in the original series.

Maybe if they finish the series I'll take a look. Hate series that get canceled.

Janice calavicci is also in the series. They talk about Al a few times in some flashbacks but because Dean Stockwell is dead they also killed off Al prior to the start of the first season.

I didnt know they made another one. I enjoyed the original.

I typically hate time travel in professional works, because there basically always has to be this preachy Dangerous things happen ter wizards who meddle with time, Harry! And they often end up just undoing the time travel to avoid paradoxes and shit and thus rendering the whole thing pointless.

I just want fun time travel stories where you fix things, damn it!

Loved the original and to be honest my crush on Bakula was the only reason I watched Star Trek Enterprise.
So, is this new show's Al any good?

The show changes the rules a little. They're a little different from the original show but they're also more consistent. One of the changes is that anyone can go into the holographic imaging chamber and be "Al" so there's a few episodes where they change it up a bit. The "main" Al is "Addison" and she's ok. She's a little too serious and all business and not at all like Al.

No. As far as anyone knows, (Scott Bakula) has not agreed to do anything for the show but he has been asked to make an appearance.

Just show up at the end to cap off the story. Mind you the new show is not good at all. I watched a few episodes here and there of season 1.

The new show is good, but the last two episodes of season two are really, really good.

Here's a video of Scott Bakula giving his thoughts on the show. He's very respectful but basically says the original show was more simple in its storytelling and the new one's more action packed for a new generation, but that he's glad it's continuing to tell stories that encourage people to be empathetic. .

He's still lost and comes up in conversation now and then on the show.

Yes. So the twist with the finale is pretty cool. I wonder how long the new status quo will last?

Did you know that was actually the original ending of the original series? (Al and Sam leap together I mean.) They didn't get a season 6 though so they had to change it in a way that they could reboot it later if the publishers changed their mind but that never happened. So instead the original series just xenogears the ending.

I did not know that. Pretty cool they got to use it now and it still makes sense.

I don't recommend reading that link unless you've finished both series.
