Promotional graphic for “Quantum Leap” season 2
If you like my work, buy me a virtual cup of coffee at Ko-Fi.
I really thought One Night in Koreatown was going to be the Let Them Play episode for season two of the current version of Quantum Leap starring Raymond Lee and Ernie Hudson.
I thought this because of how the showrunner and writers seriously spun the story, emphasizing only some aspects while ignoring the more important facts.
That episode, if you’ve read my blog or have seen the show, depicted the beginning of the 1992 Rodney King riots. I remember them well, because I lived only thirty miles or so from L.A. at the time.
Four white cops had been videoed brutally beating a black suspect named Rodney King. The officers were charged, arrested, and went to trial. All four were found not guilty. Outraged, the black community rioted and looted, but get this. The primary damage almost all in L.A.’s Koreatown.
