- This post contains minor spoilers for two fairly old episodes, "Camikaze Kid",
- and "The Leap Back" (alright, maybe "Deliver Us from Evil" if you don't know
- the premise yet) but I'm putting a spoiler protection just in case. Yes, I'll
- quit babbling now...

- Two pointless, mindless questions that have 'don't investigate this *too*
- closely' answers that I noticed watching "Camikaze Kid" on USA tonight:
-
- 1. Since braces are inanimate objects, like clothes, etc., wouldn't Sam
- actually be wearing them when he leaped into Cam, rather than just seeing thier
- reflection in the mirror? That would have been funny to see, Sam suddenly
- coping with new braces (trust me, as a braces survivor, this could have
- provided quite a bit of comic relief).
-
- 2. I don't know when Michael Jackson was born, but wouldn't he have been young
- enough in '61 to see Al? He certainly looked it. Oops, forget it, maybe
- Michael Jackson was never innocent or pure of heart. :-)
-
-
-
- And about "The Leap Back", I have a new theory on the evil leapers that I never
- thought about until now. Plenty of speculations have been made about the
- tape from "Starlight, Starbright", but remember that the government also has
- a handlink from PQL. It's possible that when Tom leaped back to 1945, he,
- being a heroic military officer, would have turned it over to his superiors,
- who would have turned it to government science experts, who would have then
- examined it rather closely. Later, when the tape is made, somehow someone
- thinks there might be a relation to the two, and starts probing into the a)
- information provided on the tape and b) the technology that went into building
- the handlink.
-

-
- I know, now that school's out, I have way too much time on my hands. Not for
- long though.

-
- Keep leaping...
