Let’s kick off this Irrational recap, Jeopardy! style. Answer: Crash and burn. Question: What is an apt description of Alec’s prospects when it comes to a second chance at love with his ex-wife? Don’t worry if you got it wrong: The judges also would have accepted “What is this episode’s Case of the Week?”
A plane accident with murky underpinnings is the central focus of “The Barnum Effect,” but I’m most into the way that Marisa is firmly yet lovingly setting boundaries for her ex-husband. Yes, she and Alec can work together, and yes, it...

Monday’s episode of The Voice teed up at least one Blind Audition that qualified as “out of this world.” In fact, when Nini Iris was done, a gobsmacked Niall Horan had to ask, “What planet do you come from?” But, would his enthusiastic entreaties sway the standout to join his team and not John Legend, Gwen Stefani or Reba McEntire’s? Read on, and you can not only watch Nini’s performance but find out who she picked to be her coach, which performances at least I liked better, and who else advanced to the Battles.

Janis Calavicci may have helped the Quantum Leap team stop Martinez in Season 1, but that doesn’t mean she will be a permanent fixture at headquarters.
Last season, we learned that Janis — who also happens to be Al Calavicci’s daughter — helped Ben make his unauthorized leap, aiding our hero in his efforts to prevent his fiancé from being murdered. When Ben lost his memories after the jump, she continued to work on their secret mission while hiding out from the rest of the Quantum Leap team. She was eventually captured and proved to be a valuable resource, even pointing...

Oh boy.
After a miraculously short hiatus thanks to the forethought of the showrunners and hard work of the production team, NBC's hit sci-fi series, Quantum Leap, returns this week on a new night and at a new time with all-new adventures for Dr. Ben Song and the Ql team.
Quantum Leap Season 2 premieres at 8/7c on Wednesday, October 4, and it's immediately apparent that Ben does not make it home. So what's a time-traveling physicist to do?
The premiere quickly immerses viewers in an action-packed and comedically brilliant A-Team-gone-wrong-esque operation when the top-secret cargo aboard Ben's plane attracts Russian missiles, and they are shot down.
It's 1978, and with a superb supporting guest cast consisting of Melissa Roxburgh, P.J. Byrne, Aaron Abrams, and Francois Arnaud, Ben must trust his gut and skills to see them through the ordeal.
The Ql team is Mia. Ben isn't able to connect with Addison,...

The San Francisco music scene was bursting with magic during the Sixties and Seventies, from the rise of radio DJs and eye-catching poster artists to Rolling Stone magazine and a number of iconic acts who emerged from it, including the Grateful Dead, Sly and the Family Stone, Steve Miller, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and Big Brother & the Holding Company. Directors Alison Ellwood and Anoosh Terzakian sought to bring audiences back to this lightning-in-a-bottle musical moment in San Francisco Sounds: A Place in Time, which covers the years 1965 to 1975.

There's a market for nostalgia, and NBC's cashed in big with its newest hit, Quantum Leap.
The 2022 revival of the popular 1980s Scott Bakula-anchored time travel series came in like a quantum accelerator, throwing everything and everyone into the mix.
While maintaining some temporal continuity with the original series, the new Quantum Leap introduced viewers to the team behind the project rather than just the leaper and his guide.
What is Quantum Leap about?
The initial twelve-episode order was quickly upped to a full eighteen-episode season, and the leaps got wilder as Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) slowly regained his memories of why he took his unauthorized leap in the first place.
Guided by his workmate and fiancée, Addison (Caitlin Bassett), he managed to survive each leap into various individuals facing moments of crisis that would change their lives and the future.
In turn, Addison relied on the Q.

If there’s a moment that sums up the genius of Robbie Robertson, it’s the part in The Last Waltz when they play “It Makes No Difference.” All five brothers in the Band perform like they’re reading each other’s minds. Every detail is perfect: Robertson’s guitar, Rick Danko’s voice, Garth Hudson’s sax. They’re singing about loneliness, yet with the sound that only trusted comrades can make together. But you can hear that these guys are already mourning the death of their brotherhood. It’s their famous farewell concert,...

Robbie Robertson, the Band’s guitarist and primary songwriter who penned “The Weight,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” and many other beloved classics, died Wednesday at age 80.
Robertson’s management company confirmed the musician’s death. “Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife, Dominique, her partner Nicholas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny,” his longtime manager Jared Levine said in a statement. “In lieu of flowers, the family...

Pedro Almodóvar teams up with Penélope Cruz again for his most political film yet, weaving Spanish history and modern motherhood in a cocktail of comedy, thriller and melodrama
50 best films of 2022 in the UKMore on the best culture of 2022
On the face of it, this has all the hallmarks of a vintage Almodóvar film: a focus on women (Penélope Cruz especially), fluid sexualities, deep secrets, clashing colours and to-die-for interiors. But this is also Almodóvar’s most overtly political film to date, dealing head-on with the mass graves and unidentified victims of the Spanish civil war. In his early career, in the shadow of the repressive Franco era, Almodóvar’s raucous, sacrilegious, hedonistic films were political by their very existence, but he has recognised that times have changed, and with the rise of the far right, Spain is in danger of forgetting the lessons it learned painfully not that long ago.

There's a lot more leaping in our future, Fanatics!
After a thirty-year break, the Quantum Leap project is once again a going concern, and NBC is backing it with an early renewal, guaranteeing fans will have more adventures with Dr. Ben Song and his team to look forward to.
Quantum Leap is currently on its midseason hiatus, having aired eight episodes and with ten more to come after NBC added six more episodes in October to its initial twelve-episode season order.
A continuation of the 1990's sci-fi time travel adventure that starred Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, the new series has done an admirable job treading a new path while paying respect to the canon that has come before.
2022's Quantum Leap is more of an ensemble cast than its predecessor, with Ernie Hudson, Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, and Nanrisa Lee starring alongside Raymond Lee as the time-traveling Dr.

Get out your pink shirts and hide your burn books because we've got some pretty fetch news to share. The Broadway adaptation of the hit movie "Mean Girls" is getting the movie musical treatment, bringing Cady, Janis, Damian, and the Plastics to the streaming screen. This means that "Mean Girls" is now joining the ranks of other favorites like "The Producers," "Little Shop of Horrors," "The Phantom of the Opera," and "Hairspray" as a movie that became a musical that then became a movie musical.

Hey, Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 8? I'm anthropomorphizing you today to let you know that I appreciate you.
Finales, even midseason ones, are tricky to write. I appreciate your narrative bookending, starting the adventure with Ben filling Addison in about Janis only to have Ben's memory of why he leaped at the end.
Also, I appreciate that you take place in 1996 -- two years before the Google search engine launched and eleven years before the first iPhone -- a year within my lifetime when emails were just becoming a thing, and teens like Stacy, Roy, and Leah could only dance party to No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" on CD.
And I really appreciate Roy's extremely 1990s haircut. Thanks for that. It took me back.
There's a lot of 1980s energy here, though, too. We've got the posse of misfits dodging the ultimate detention à la The Breakfast Club (1985), with the episode's title...

There's a lot to be said for a good old-fashioned scary story. Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 7 delivers on that with a first half full of spooky, inexplicable happenings and a second half unraveling them with mostly satisfactory explanations.
Yay for Janis's return, however brief, although we're still in the dark about whether she's connected to future Leaper X Martinez.
Finally, anyone else miss Magic's presence at HQ? Feels like a system lock-out should be something he'd be on top of, doesn't it?
When scientific minds meet supernatural circumstances, the conflict between logic and faith rages. Here, Ben and Daisy represent those two forces, and both must bend a bit in their dogma in order to solve the mystery.
Meanwhile, when the science fails Addison, it's interesting that it's Jenn that helps her hold the faith.
For someone who doesn't believe in the supernatural, Ben seems pretty spooked by the...

This Quantum Leap review contains spoilers.
Quantum Leap Episode 7
Quantum Leap episode 7 “O Ye of Little Faith,” is the episode diehard fans have been waiting for in the sequel series. The original show carried with it specific sensibilities of good versus evil, God and the Devil, the power of the subconscious versus the rational mind and the separation of science and religious belief. These tropes popped up from time to time through all the original five seasons, but certainly the Halloween episodes and a good deal of season 5 drove full throttle into the seemingly unscientific questions of faith.
As Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) leaps into the body of Fr. James Davenport in 1934 on Halloween night, creepy children stroll the streets in Depression-era costumes. The bleakness of the period is highlighted exquisitely by the trick-or-treat scenery. Our modern fears of sending our kids out into the street–alone–in homemade...

Time travel, amirite?
On Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 6, Janis's shenanigans may still be on the back burner, but they aren't wasting any time addressing the mystery leaper encountered at the end of Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 5.
Meanwhile, some familiar faces and a deep dive into Ben's memories provide unexpected depth as to how and why he found his way to Quantum Leap.
It occurs to me -- and not for the first time -- that leapers need to be more than just smart; they need to be active puzzle-solvers who not only think deeply about a situation but quickly.
Leaping into someone at the moment their spouse demands a divorce is probably pretty high on the pivot-skills scale.
Ben: We’re in San Francisco, right?
