Zeus 09/21/18 8:33:43 PM #31:	ParanoidObsessive posted... Zeus posted... As much as I like Quantum Leap the show, that would be hell as a reality. There's a reason why he was openly weeping in the finale when he started to realize he was never going to be able to go home, and was going to Leap forever. Which also makes it even more meaningful when he willingly sacrifices his own freedom in order to help give his dearest friend a "happily ever after" by basically giving up his own. Oh right, while I remembered that he chose to keep leaping, I forgot that ~~he was doing it so somebody else wouldn't be stuck leaping or some similar twist.~~ ParanoidObsessive posted... Zeus posted... Doctor Who is an absolute hellscape, but it looks like it might be the best option especially since companions usually survive or turn out okay. In the old show, companions usually ended up better off than when they started, though a few notorious examples wound up dead, and a couple wound up in places where they probably wished they were dead. The new show makes being the Doctor's companion a much worse fate, though. You're probably going to go through hell and get psychologically broken multiple times over, and even if you get a happy ending when you leave, you'll apparently spend the rest of your life pining over the time you spent with the Doctor and never really being able to move on. And that's assuming you don't wind up mind raped or dead. Well, in the new series almost every companion had a quasi-romance with him (so part of regretting not being with him clearly had a romantic component, especially as seen with Rose) and he pretty much did everything in his power (at least up until I stopped watching) to discourage male companions from hanging out with him and his current squeeze. (Come to think of it, the only male companion he really seemed to get along with was Donna's granddad, probably because he had no reason to be jealous of a potential relationship brewing.) That said, it still seems like there are better outcomes traveling with the Doctor (vs the other options) and most of the time the stories seem to take place around modern England --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:909209342] in Which TV s...
