It is Halloween, so how is Quantum Leap going to do a themed episode tonight at 10p on NBC? They are going to send Ben (Raymond Lee) back in time to perform an exorcism on a girl whose family is convinced she is possessed.

Since Ben isn’t going as himself, he leaps into the body of a priest. How does a doctor who doesn’t believe in religion handle the situation? You are going to want to see how he gets himself and the girl out of it. Especially when he starts believing that she is being controlled by a demon.

She is not the only one being controlled by someone else. So is Ziggy. Because of that, Addison is having problems communicating with Ziggy (Caitlin Bassett). What is causing Ziggy to go all haywire? You will find out, and it is the series’ biggest reveal yet.

But I have said too much. What I will also say is tonight’s episode is the series’ best one yet. I hope now that the writers have found their groove, they will continue to write episodes like this one.

Tonight at 10p on NBC, Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) does something he has never done before on Quantum Leap. He leaps into the body of a woman. How does he handle it? I will say he had an easier time than Sam Beckett did when he leaped into someone who is of the feminine persuasion.

Talking about Beckett, Magic (Ernie Hudson) reveals his connection to him and why he restarted the Quantum Leap Project.

Back to Ben, he is starting to remember he has a girlfriend. Will he remember that it is Addison (Caitlin Bassett)? Meanwhile, she is learning more about him in the present day. What secrets has he been hiding?

I can’t wait to find out. Thankfully, we have a few more episodes to find out because NBC picked up the series for six more episodes bringing its first season total to 19. I wonder when they will take Ben to in the upcoming episodes.

Tonight at 10p on NBC, Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) does something he shouldn’t be able to do on Quantum Leap. He travels back to a time before he was born.

Ben is fighting to get back to his own time, but instead, he leaps into a boxer who is about to fight the middleweight champion of the world. How can he prepare for that if he never fought a day in his life? Addison (Caitlin Bassett) is going to teach him in a way that Al never could.

On that note, the Quantum Leap Project is going to realize how deep Al’s daughter Janice (Georgina Reilly) is into their work. So much so that Magic (Ernie Hudson), Ian (Mason Alexander Park), and Jen (Nanrisa Lee) are truly scared, and rightfully so. What is Janice going to do with what she has? Is she working against them? We don’t know.

And we also don’t know what it means that Ben can leap to times that are not his own. How far back can he go? That I can’t wait to find out. Almost as much as next week, when he makes a leap, that is going to be a game-changer for him.

So make sure to watch a sequel that is almost as good as the original.

Tonight at 10p on NBC, Quantum Leap goes where few have gone before, outer space.

Ben Song (Raymond Lee) finds himself on the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which is in the process of launching on its mission. He is there to save the astronaut whose body he leaped into. Addison (Caitlin Basset) tells him that he originally died during a space walk, so what happens when he goes out to do it? He saves the man whose body he is in but sets off something so much worse.

While that is going on up there and back then, down here on Earth, Magic (Ernie Hudson) visits someone from the past, as in someone who was in the original series and played by the same person. Can you guess who? You will want to tune in to find out.

The series is still setting up who everyone is and why Ben Lee decided to go back in time without telling anyone. So I think we have to stick with it because they are still finding its way. It will take a little time because it is hard to differentiate itself from the original, even though it will constantly be compared to it. I know I am doing it. And I have to remember this is a different show.

So let’s give it a chance because it is a good show when you accept that it is its own series.
