Quantum Leap Season 1 Finale Review *SPOILERS*
I enjoyed the first season of the reboot. I'm actually not a fan of the original series, I watched it here and there but never regularly. For better or worse, the reboot had the perfect setup for endless "missions of the week". There was promise of a longer backstory arc, however it moved painfully slow and was mostly window dressing. In the finale, that arc finally started to move quickly which created a bit of a pacing problem. The puzzle pieces had become a bit ragged and didn't all quite fit together. However, there was resolution to a few things and then we were left with something of a frustrating cliffhanger. So, it was good but not great.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - A star from NBC’s “Quantum Leap” will serve as Grand Marshal for this year’s Military Appreciation Days Parade in Myrtle Beach.
The city announced Wednesday that Caitlin Bassett will serve in the role for the parade, set to take place May 27.
Bassett, who plays Addison Augustine on “Quantum Leap,” is an Army veteran herself, having served seven years as an intelligence analyst and completed three combat deployments while attaining the rank of staff sergeant.
She also worked at the National Security Agency before being honorably discharged in 2015. After earning a degree in legal studies and heading to law school, she moved to New York and later pursued acting.
Bassett’s father, a Vietnam War veteran, lives in Myrtle Beach and will also sing live during the scheduled picnic at Valor Memorial Garden.
“I’m so excited to be included in this wonderful memorial alongside my father,” Caitlin said. “I’m incredibly honored to have the opportunity to join the Military Appreciation Days celebrations with the great community of Myrtle Beach.”
