By this time, Brooke was making fun of the primadonna image she had accumulated with "Blue Lagoon" and "Endless Love"; that all she was was beautiful and nothing more.
Bakula was already established by the TV show, so he was meeting Shields as her equal, and Brooke worked off him just as well.
Taming of the Shrew meets the Blue Lagoon? The pair watch more like a couple of old Hollywood pros.
Not a screwball comedy, but a simplistic romance.
And for an episode of "Quantum Leap" it takes a different turn as well.
Too many pluses for this episode of a show that isn't really a favorite of mine, but I must admit, I am enjoying watching the occasional assortment of shows that air on Sci Fi every now and then.
