"Foreknowledge" novel by Christopher DeFilippis 

Sam has leapt from Ann-Marie Renerie into Candy Apple (Sarah Bullock), a female mud wrestler. Sam moves on with his assignment for this leap, which involves keeping the club where Sam’s host works open. Little does he know that Ann-Marie remembers him, is angry about the way things have turned out and wants him dead. Back at the Project, Al is trying to figure out what is happening with Ann-Marie and what is going on with Ziggy, and Sammie Jo is working on getting Sam home.

Do you like text-based roleplaying games where you can choose to do anything you want and see how the story unfolds?

I’ve been using ChatGPT to build a ‘Quantum Leap’ RPG. It’s in early stages but I think I’ve got the core of this thing pretty well built. Note that this game ignores the Season 5 finale, so you’ll be playing before the events of that episode.

If you’d like to help test the game and provide any notes on your experience, feel free to access it at the link below and give it a whirl. I’d love to hear any thoughts you’d like to share, either as a comment here or by DM. Just remember it’s a work in progress. ❤️

Note: when you access the link, scroll past all the setup instructions (they’re long) and just read the Player Instructions (unless you wanna see how I programmed the game, of course). After reading the instructions, hit “Continue this conversation” and let ChatGPT know when you’re ready to begin.

Remember, you can say or do anything you want and the story will shift according to your choices. If you get stuck, though, feel free to ask for hints like “What would Sam do here?” and ChatGPT will give hints based on Sam’s past experiences.

Thanks for any feedback you’d like to provide!

Okay so Ziggy Is supposed to be a super genius computer. Also known to have a large ego. Ziggy also knows Sam extremely well and could probably predict how he would respond to different situations. Is it possible that Ziggy is the one controlling where Sam leaps?

Could Ziggy be trying to change the world in some way by a series of butterfly-effect style changes throughout History?

Sorry if this is has been brought up before. I did a quick search on the sub but didn't find anything.

I've been waiting to finish the new series and I finally did, just under the wire, a day before it gets pulled from Peacock. I caught a good chunk of the original show, but not all of it as my family moved around, and we lived overseas for part of that run.

I like the new series. There are things I didn't like, and I rolled my eyes a few times at the soap, but I thought it was a good premise as a continuation of the original show.

I really enjoyed seeing the HQ team, and I thought there was good chemistry there. Sometimes they got a bit soapy and tropey...I didn't need to see Addison fall in love and almost get married, for instance. I really enjoyed Ian and Jen as a pair.

That said, I think the show would've worked better with more weighting to Ben and the leaps. I feel like there was more drama in the Sam leapt into, whereas some of Ben's episodes felt very leap-of-the-week. It might not be a fair comparison since it's been much longer since I saw the new show.

I do have so many thoughts and questions about how time travel works in the show, and the more overt reliance on a higher power guiding things. In the first show it seemed to be just a feeling but in the sequel, everyone takes as a given that there's something guiding Ben to achieve an AI-predicted outcome.

The finale was great. I was worried it would be a letdown but from the initial twist I was involved. Now I get it - we really should have had a second season to see what might have happened >!with two leapers working together.!<
