Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator...

NO WAY!

Oh boy. . .

In retrospect, he shouldn't have used the plans he got from Popular Mechanics.

If time machines were made of smoke machines and colored lights, I would have done a lot of time travel by now.

I've been operating various time machines for a while, anyone can do it.
Next time you go somewhere in your car, look into the rear view mirror and step on the gas.
You will witnes the place and time you started from fade into the past, as you roar into the future.

Where did he go?

1956.

Coolness, cars with suicide doors, wide lapels, only 48 stars on the flag, Jerry Lee Lewis playing for tips in a local dive. But why is this computer still workin?

I'd like to go back in time, but with a (somehow functional) wi-fi laptop. I bet wikipedia would really come in handy for "putting right what once went wrong."

...and sports bets.

This sounds like the plot to Back to the Future II.

GREAT SCOTT!

Mmmm magic

Swiss cheese.

Fuck Swiss cheeze, I want the bullion.

he turned into a monkey. how does that work??

Too many Earth orbits counter to the planets rotation.

I like the one where Scott Bakula, Sinbad, and their gang of ragtag misfits overcome the obstacles to defeat the more skilled but heartless team.

Perhaps the greatest film about minor baseball starring Scott Bakula in movie history.

when showering don't forget your Bakula

Tried to think of any better and you're right. The greatest film about minor baseball starring Scott Bakula.

GOd I love that show. I watched everything that was on hulu (2 seasons?) at my last job.

I just don't have a lot of faith in time travel that isn't packaged in either a phone booth or a Delorean.

Indeed!

This thread is about Captain Planet, right? Wasn't that Bakula's alter ego on that show?
