- Just to put my two cents into the ring,
-
- It seems to me that a lot of judgments about the past four and a half years of
- Quantum Leap has been made on the basis of one episode, LHO. First it was TV
- Guide and now Entertainment Weekly, and probably a score of other major and
- minor publications have taken the opportunity to use that one episode and hype
- it for all its worth, knowing America's fascination with the Kennedy
- assasination and capitalizing on Quantum Leap's use of it as a premise for one
- episode. I will make no opinion calls on LHO here, but it just seems to me
- that no one actually paid any attention to the episode, never mind the rest of
- the series, before screaming to America, "This is what's wrong with American
- society today!"
-
- Pay it no mind. It, too, will pass.
