How do you get people to listen to you when you are not the loudest voice in the room? It becomes damn near difficult for anyone to hear you when certain people are listened to more. It becomes almost suffocating when people obfuscate you at every turn. That is what made Quantum Leap not only compelling but relatable especially in its current iteration.
In the original series, Sam Beckett often faced uneven odds to correct mistakes from the past. In the new series, Dr. Ben Song has had to deal with the same issues but these feel even more personal, as he is of Korean American descent. It is this fact, which you know he understands the plight of the downtrodden, given the character’s back story that has been revealed. In White Savior #3, we find Todd at a crossroads, knowing he is the only who may be able to stop a deadly blunder from happening.

Altogether, a story that really gives readers of this series both comedy and action like they have never seen before.
