Enterprise: Episode 21 - DETAINED

"Archer and Travis find themselves imprisoned in a Suliban internment camp by the Tandarans."

In a nut shell, Travis and Archer get too close to the Tandaran planet in the shuttlecraft. Tandarans hate the Suliban ... Suliban can take any form ... so they detain Travis and Archer. The problem is that this camp is actually full of good Suliban, so Archer busts them out. Phlox turns Malcolm into a Suliban, Travis catches a throttling, Trip is the captain, T'Pol distracts Al, Hoshi causes interference and Malcolm gets baemed down. Got it. Good. Cuz this episode was pretty shitty. The only good thing about it was that Al from Quantum Leap played the Tandaran commander. Archer was constantly butting heads with him, and it was cool to see these old show mates interacting again. I like to think that this was just a lost episode of Quantum Leap. Oh Boy.

I remember being excited for this episode because of the Quantum Leap reunion, but now I can't remember a single thing about it except that it happened.

I'm sure my awesome wrap-up helped refresh your memory. Actually probably not at all. But the episode was a bit of a let down.

Also, they should make a Quantum Leap movie. Did he ever get home?

Everybody was excited for the Quantum Leap reunion, until episode aired and we were all like, "Oh yeah... We didn't like Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. We liked Sam and Al."

Also, I was thinking that tandarians was the same race as Watto from Star Wars, but then I checked and saw that he was actually a Toydarian. True story.

Here's my pitch for a Quantum Leap movie: Have a movie where Sam leaps into other movies. Like... he'd leap into, I dunno, Glen Garry Glenn Ross and helped Jack Lemon make a sale. Then he'd leap into Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj and help Taj pass his big poli-sci test or whatever that movie was about.

Then he'd leap into Jason Biggs from some American Pie movie:

"Al! Why am I here?!"

"Well, it says here that this kid was going to attempt to jerk off with lube, but he grabbed a tube of airplane glue instead. You have to make sure he jerks off with the right tube!"

"Oh boy!"

That idea is friggin hilarious. It's sort of like Stay Tuned but better! He can leap into the Accused and he would be Jodie Foster ... or the Pinball game Slamdunk!
