- I actually find that Quantum Leap is a pretty good show. I was just thinking
- the other day about it's similarties to Dr. Who, but they don't really have
- that much. The guy of quantum leap can only travel in his lifetime. not
- before he was born, and not far past when he started doing the leaps.
- I suppose that he has no control over where he goes and he always has to
- fix stuff can be related to the doctors controll over his tardis and so on,
- but that's about it.
