It was on CBS, and I think the plot had the family going from
what they called "zones" which were province like and all had
individual cultures.

It may have been called The Voyagers, but I cannot recall exactly.
The series did not run long, and did tie up the loose ends before it
was pulled.

The lead actor's name escapes me, but if anyone remembers a 1970's
syndicated series called 3MD9, about a mobile police doctor, way
before EMT existed.  He played the lead role.

There was also an episode where the daughter was made queen of a zone
after passing a test of questions relating to 1960's Earth history.
It turned out an earlier traveler had the same thing happened to her
as happened to the family.  It was the series last episode.

>I'm sure most of you remember something about this show.

A prime example of the networks shooting blanks trying to come up
with a quality SF show in the 1980's.

           The Babylon 5 Newsgroup Mail-List (Automated Posting)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    The Babylon 5 mail list has been created to provide information
about the show to people who want to know.  It was done in the form of a
mail list because it does not yet warrant its own group, and some people
do not want to fish through all the Quantum Leap stuff in
rec.arts.sf.tv to find stuff out about B5.  (Although I love Q-Leap, 
I have difficulty finding other things on that board amongst all the 
posts.)  

     The list is maintained by me, Troy Rutter.   If there are any
questions about the group please feel free to contact me at
techy@iastate.edu.  I like to just chat too... so feel free to mail.

     To request access to the group you can set it up yourself on your
system (ask your administrator how to access a public newsgroup), or
send mail to b5-request@iastate.edu.

     To post an article to the group simply mail b5@iastate.edu.  Your 
"post" will be relayed to all the members on the mailing list.  

     This message will be posted about once a month.  Please put it in your

     What is B5?  Babylon 5 is a new science fiction television show with
Warner Brothers that is set to air in 1993.  It is set upon a five kilometer
long space station, neutral to several different alien alliances.  Unlike
Star Trek, the people come to B5 to find their stories instead of seeking them
out.

     To request the FAQ or any other past postings, send email to 
b5-request@iastate.edu

It's called "Wolf 359" and first aired 11/7/64 (according to the OL guide posted
here a while back). I've seen it available for rental in several video stores.
My favorite OL episode is "Demon With a Glass Hand" with Robert Culp as Trent.

Supposedly there is going to be a HUGE reference to Magnum P.I. this 
season. Sam is actually going to leap INTO Magnum. They got Tom 
Selleck for a brief cameo appearance (I assume the "mirrror shot"), 
but I don't know what other actors from the original show they got for 
the QL episode. This should be an EXCELLENT episode, folks...

I seem to be cursed in watching 'important' QL episodes.
I've never managed to see Leap Home II or Leap Back, due to (a) forgetfulness,
(b) VCR seizures and most recently, the VCR changing its mind.

My JVC, if programmed for one 5:57-7:02 and another for 5:58-7:01 will record
one minute of the first, then take over on the second.  Thus, I got ST:TNG,
which I would happily have taped next sunday nite, instead of Leap Back :(
I figured the first would just negate the second, since it was already busy.

Is there someone in the Chicago area willing to loan me tapes of either or both
of the above episodes?  I'll pick 'em up and drop 'em off when I'm done, even.

In regards to where Alia is from:

We all know that her (and Sam) both suffered the swiss cheese effect from
the start of their first leap.  Sam remembers more of his life as Al and his
experience through time reminds him of his true life.  Now picture this:  Zoe
lies and/or stretches the truth while talking to Alia.  Most likely she could
selectively job memories in Alia's mind in order to manipulate her.  Think 
about it.  Her 'worst nightmare' may have been some type of torture that was
performed on her in order to 'convince' her to work on the project.  Or, more
likey, leaping around could be her worst nightmare... moving around from life
to life, destroying the lives of everyone she comes into contact to, and 
losing her memory would NOT be a pleasant experience, and she may do (and has
been doing) anything she can to escape.

As far as Lothos being a fallen angel:  what's in a name.  Sure, it COULD
have been named after him and/or be him.  But then again, I think that we
can be pretty certain that Ziggy is NOT some short guy with no neck and a big
nose when refered to in the show.

I still tend to believe that the Bman may be doing the leaping... but I
personally HOPE that Alia is not some lost soul in hell who has been brought
back in order to prevent Sam's interference.

I really thought that except for not solving the mystery, this episode was
going to be pretty standard. Approaching the end, I was sure that Sam was
going to get to the house just in time and save Abigail and the leapee.
Instead, he hits the lady, and then doesn't get out of the fire. It's
definitely got me hooked for parts 2 and 3 next week.

And did anyone else think of the Halloween episode when Sam hit the woman
with his car?

>[Of course, the fact that Meg Foster could
>see both Sam and Al is beyond dispute.  It's those eyes :-]

This was another powerful scene. My brother and I were both expecting her
to suddenly attack Sam for some reason. Instead, she makes the gesture
when Sam and Al leave. Well, I was on the edge of my seat during this.

>Question - can this be considered the definitive answer to "What happens
>if Sam gets killed while leaping?"  (The Big Man Upstairs pulls the ripcord,
>and the other poor shmuck bites it.  Probably.)

I got the feeling that Sam wasn't really killed, just pulled out right
before being hit. Even at that moment, I was expecting to jump out the
window. But anyway, I got the feeling that the Big Man Upstairs pulled
him out because he had no chance at surviving. It means that Sam could
still die, but only if there was still a possibility that he would live,
and thus not get pulled from the situation. I'd hate to think that Sam
can't die, not because I want him dead, but because it eliminates a
lot of the dramatic tension in the episodes.

It will be interesting to see Al's reaction next episode. If he does
think that Sam died last week, then his first meeting with Sam in
next week's leap should be very emotional. I hope that they at least
acknowledge the possibility that Sam almost died.

You know, THAT one bothered me a LOT (Although, the way Ms Pratt writes,
it was probably planned that way). Just the other side of the leap, Sam
was the young lady's father.  Further, he seemed to me to be very much
"attuned" to the sheriff/leepee. He talked about Abigail's mother as
"MY wife" and was a lot smoother in his response to Abby's "tell me how you 
love me," which played like a long-standing ritual between them. Sam being
who he [usually] is, how could he do ANYTHING but jump out of bed 
like it was on fire? (Can you say "incest"? I knew you could!)

I find it "logical" for Spock to question the being, not Kirk.
