Re: Conveying from my husband.....
Slash (welcome to the bboard, by the way! It's my first time talkin' with you!), I DID say that.
On StarTrek.com, I read a huge amount of HORRIBLE posts that people were first complaining about the decision to make Mr. Bakula the new captain. This was even before the pilot episode was even released! There was all this talk about how "Quantum Leap sucked" and "If he says 'Oh Boy!' one time, I'm outta there and never coming back" and all kinds of junk that was pretty similar!!!
It scared the HELL out of the brass, and I have heard RUMORS that he's under a "restraint" request not to discuss QL. It may be the 'job' angle that MJ & Matt and Rod and Rodkini-model wannabe were talking. This is true of ANY actor. If they don't grow and evolve, and embrace the next angles, they'll forever be locked into a certain thing.
This is what William Shatner bitched about on Saturday Night Live so long ago about the fans "getting a life", because we ARE the true definition of "fan" which is "FANATIC"!!
All you have to do is look at the old stars of Star Trek (The Original Series) and realize that after Star Trek, they really didn't do SQUAT! Even Walter Koeneg (sp?), who embraced Babylon 5 as the role of the Psicop... people still said, "oh, there's Chekov!"!! LOL!
