Quantum Leap – Dreams [2.8]

Sam leaps into police detective Jack Stone just as he is discovering the dead body of a murdered woman. However, from that moment Sam experiences flashbacks to traumatic events from Stone’s own childhood. He visits a psychiatrist connected to the case in order to pursue his investigation, but also for advice regarding the confusion he is experiencing. The psychiatrist is the actual murderer, though, and Sam is almost killed in the process of working with him to unpack Stone’s memories–but he is able to save himself in the end.

A few months ago, it was my birthday! And to add to all the real life goals and challenges that that brings, I’ve created at least one as it relates to movies and this blog–watch a film I’ve never seen before which came out in each year of the fifty years before I was born, and then write a bit about it.  This is Post #14.

Pandemic Legacy Season Zero – October Game #2

In the world of games (something I enjoy quite a bit) my friend Rod, Michelle and Anne and got together not long ago to play Pandemic Legacy Season Zero–this is the prequel game to Seasons One and Two, which are in themselves to a spinoff of the regular game Pandemic, by Matt Leacock and published by Z-Man Games.
