{'title': 'FINAL POLL - SERIES FOR THIS SUMMER', 'choices': [{'text': 'Quantum Leap', 'votes': 46}, {'text': 'The Expanse', 'votes': 27}], 'closes_at': datetime.datetime(2023, 6, 5, 3, 59, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), 'created_at': datetime.datetime(2023, 6, 1, 17, 23, 4, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), 'description': None, 'allow_multiple': False, 'total_votes': 73}

Content

In our original poll, Quantum Leap was the heavy favorite, but did not get a majority of the votes. The Expanse was the highest runner up. This poll will decide which first season of these two shows we watch alongside the Star Trek TOS movies this summer. They will be full uncut on Patreon & edited for YouTube. Poll ends Sunday night so make sure to get your vote in!

All shows not chosen as well as many other choices will return later this year when our Patrons get to decide what show we watch a season of after the first season of Star Trek TNG. A few of them may also show up sooner in our next poll for our Patreon exclusive series after we finish Battlestar Galactica 1978 in a couple months.

Originally voted for The Expanse, but had a QL change of heart. Either would be fun for different reasons.

This feels like a "I don't really want to watch Quantum Leap" poll.

Phillip Grischa

Both are good shows but I picked The Expanse.

That's it. Changed my vote because it feels more important to you than me. QL makes me feel nostalgic, but Expanse is a better show.

It is a tough call. Kinda want to go with Quantum Leap, mainly because there's not a lot of reactors that do them. That's kinda why I like you guys, you do the less common stuff. Now, that being said, it can alienate some that didn't like the show or wasn't fully into it. I will admit that even as a kid, I never watched it as an die hard fan. It was a good show and I liked a lot of it, but when I grew up, I didn't go back to it. It's great, but it's also a 'case of the week' format. So there's that big nostalgia factor, although one of the common issues we have with these shows is the time period and how many themes aren't going to hit as hard. The Expanse is more recent, has more of an arc, will target things that more people will relate to, has a much bigger budget, and is overall a better show. So, for me it's a split between nostalgia and intensity. Expanse is pretty intense, but QL hits me in the nostalgia. Now, if you pick one and eventually get to the other, I'm good with that too.

Winner of the poll needs to get over 50%. Read the post of the first poll. That’s how we always do it. If we didn’t want to watch the show it wouldn’t be on the list.

Or, flip the script, because they're basically maining Star Trek right now. Something Earthbound like Quantum Leap would act as a good contrast to that.

Steven Johnson

My personal thinking is that Quantum Leap will act as a good contrast with the Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica stuff. It's Science Fiction, but much more Earthbound. Personally, that'll work better in contrast to Star Trek, but that's just me. I've got nothing against The Expanse, it's one of the better Science Fiction shows in recent memory.

Steven Johnson
>>109792298

My only argument against The Expanse right now is, do we really want them doing nothing but space shows?

AzoriusMage
>>109792102

I suspect QL will win but I am not giving up campaigning. I am happy to act as tie breaker ;)

Firekrys FWO
>>109795456

Good points from both of you! I actually didn't keep up with either due to Life. So both will work for me.

AzoriusMage

Not sure these ballot machines aren't rigged

Prof Moff

It is the battle of: Episodic v One main story. Will it be the quantum leap over the expanse OR will the expanse be to far for the leap.

Curzon Dax

Not sure Quantum Leap will perform well as it lacks a bit of cultural relevance and passionate fan base. Would be kind of like doing Murder, She Wrote lol. But hey, I’ve been wrong before.

Tristan Rose

Quantum Leap is good and has a full run if you like it and want to continue watching it (and of course Scott Bakula, you'll see him eventually even if you don't watch Quantum Leap ;) "its been a long time... getting from there to here" LoL!). The Expanse may be best scifi show in recent years, but it got cut short even after Amazon saved it from the syfy channel it still ended before the books (to be fair there is a fairly large time jump in the books which might be one reason they stopped where they did).

Steven Johnson
>>109832655

And hey, just because something doesn't get chosen on this round, doesn't mean it won't get chosen next round. My thinking is this will work as a good contrast with TNG better than the Expanse. They're watching a lot of SPACE stuff, and I can't imagine they won't get absolutely burned out.

Steven Johnson
>>109823918

That is true. However, they were one of the first to take on watching TOS, and a lot of TOS fans love Quantum Leap. It's a very different show in terms of premise and stuff, but it does share some of the same Star Trek DNA in terms of the moral compass the show has. It's quality TV from a quality era of TV. That's not saying anything against The Expanse. Expanse is great.

Steven Johnson
>>109813386

If Quantum Leap wins, and it looks like it will, I tell you what Russell, no matter what I will vote for The Expanse on the next poll, you have my word sir.

Steven Johnson
>>109802981

Ah, political humor... Makes me pine for the dimpled chads and lock box jokes of the early 2000s. It was a simpler time.

Steven Johnson
>>109792298

Well, I suppose "we" do, because, again I was hoping for Babylon 5, BUT.. Poor Alex, especially. The dude was so burned out during pilot month on space shows. I think that's why they took to the first season of Buffy so warmly. But as I said in another comment, I will totally support The Expanse on the next go round, even if Babylon 5 is on the list.

darren k mccardle

Sliders is good too, same idea as Quantum Leap, but with dimensions instead of time leaping.
