forwarded it to my Internet account here...

The animated leap. Not this season, too big of a cost, if there is another
season, it will be one of the first in production. Here's the low down on it;
It's based on a story Don had for a series called the Ultimate Adventure
Company. It would be very action packed, BUT, it would be animated, and a
factor of the leap wouldn't be "I leaped into a tune." It would be a normal
leap, no differentiation, and the leap out would be back to regular. It would
just be presented this way. The budget would allow them to do some cool
stuff, but to do it right, no way this season. Script is written though.

Upcoming eps. We have; Sam in a vampire, Sam in Dr. Ruth, Sam in one of three
sons robbing a bank (the ep takes place near his hometown, when his dad is
alive, this is the Xmas ep, Don says the budget for this was low, only one
location the whole thing), I saw an outline of the rest of the season, saw
some quick stuff. Sam in a Playboy centerfold, don't know if it was on hold
or not.

Elvis ep, just went to story. Sam is in Elvis early career, most likely a
real-time episode.

End of season? Don is going to write the last ep this season. Very emotional,
bitter sweet, and it will have an impact. He has the idea, has the final
conclusion, getting there will be hard. He says it would work as an ending if
the show isn't picked up, or will lead into next season very well. He said it
is powerful, could include some past leap stuff, and was sketchy on other
things, just it will make LHO look like nothing. He almost told me what it
was, but wanted it to be a big surprise.

Evil Leaper, she WILL return. He said they don't have a big thing on her yet,
other than the force controlling her is evil, and she is doing what she
thinks is right. Another ep is in the works.

Budgets are a big factor. If it weren't for them, Al wouldn't have to
dissapear/re-appear, he'd go thru objects more, the show would be cooler, but
budgets are limiting them to more practical stories.

It's looking like there WILL be another season, some of you people are too
pessimistic..
