Quantum Leap star Scott Bakula has revealed there are "significant conversations" taking place with regards to a possible reboot of the '90s sci-fi series.

As reported by Deadline, Bakula recently appeared as a guest on Bob Saget's Here For You podcast to tell stories and share insights into his decades-long career in the entertainment industry, including the time he body-hopped into the role of Dr. Sam Beckett, a time-travelling quantum physicist who leaps into other peoples lives to "put right what once went wrong."

During the discussion, Bakula confirmed that talks had been happening around a possible reboot of the series, which originally ran on NBC for five seasons, between 1989 and 1993. He didn't divulge the details of any such conversations, however, he indicated that those involved were in the very early stages of working out whether there's a way to bring the show back.

"There are very significant conversations about it right now going on," Bakula told Saget of a potential Quantum Leap reboot, though he admitted there may be some challenges. "I don't know what it would be. I don't know who would have it. The rights were a mess for years. I don't know if they're even sorted out now. That's always been the biggest complication."

Bakula also revealed that he had spoken to series creator Donald P. Bellisario periodically over the years about a potential comeback of the show. He said he had encouraged him to move forward with an idea despite jokingly noting that Dean Stockwell, who played his wise-cracking hologram sidekick Admiral Al Calavicci, "costs too much money" these days.

"[Bellisario] would always say, 'I can't write it without thinking of you and Dean [Stockwell].' I said, 'Just think about me and Dean and write your show. Get it out there. If you have an idea, just write it. I am sure it will be great,'" Bakula recalled of some of the past conversations he had had with Bellisario, admitting that he didn't know "what that idea would be if we did."

Several shows and sitcoms have received reboots, revivals, and spin-offs in recent years, albeit with mixed results. It seems that for every terrific and twisted Twin Peaks-level continuation, there's a disappointing Heroes Reborn. The minds behind these projects continue to test the water with audience reaction to see what works and what doesn't.

Plus, many series are continuing to get a second life, with Dexter Morgan set to make his return on Showtime, a Frasier revival with Kelsey Grammer greenlit at Paramount Plus, and a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot featuring a new cast set for NBCUniversal's Peacock. Outside of these ones, there's a whole list of cancelled TV shows we'd love to see revived at some point.

As the Roblox community continues to grow, the Roblox Corporation has taken the decision to roll out an ID verification service to confirm users' ages. Currently operating on an opt-in basis, the developer says that its new service will not only signal a level of trust between users but also enable the platform to provide better methods for age-appropriate communication between creators.

As announced in an article on the Roblox blog, the developer says that age verification on the platform is important as it rolls out its new communication tool, spatial voice. The feature, which is currently being tested in a limited Developer Beta and is set to move into early access soon, will allow users to engage in voice chat within spatial voice experiences in Roblox, and aims to mirror real-life conversation, taking into account proximity, tone of voice, and more.

Despite the company offering its age verification service on an opt-in basis, only those who successfully complete the process will be eligible for spatial voice chat when it becomes available for Public Beta. It's not clear if the age verification service will become mandatory in future although, given that more than 50% of Roblox users are under 13, it feels unlikely.

For Roblox, this primarily comes down to safety. "As our community continues to expand, both globally and by age (nearly 50% of the users on our platform are over the age of 13 as of Q2 2021), we want to make sure that everyone can express themselves in a safe and respectful way," explains Senior Product Manager Chris Ashton Chen. "Being confident in a user’s age and identity is a critical foundation for metaverse safety and civility. We are developing new and innovative ways to do so while always respecting users’ privacy."

So, how does it work? Roblox's ID verification process comes in two stages. Using image processing technology, Roblox will first ask users to submit to an ID document check via its app. The documents themselves can take a number of forms with the platform accepting a user's passport, driver's license, or ID card as appropriate means for verification.

To complete the verification process, those taking part will then need to capture a selfie using the system. Roblox says that this stage of the service checks for "liveness" (whether or not the image it's seeing is of a living, breathing human being) and "likeness" (whether or not you are actually the same person shown in the documents uploaded).

The Roblox Corporation says that its verification process will roll out over the course of the next few weeks. For those worried about their data and privacy, the developer has also assured users that the platform will not store user's raw ID documents nor selfie data. Instead, when a government-issued ID document is scanned, an anonymized value is generated, allowing Roblox to verify identity without risking exposure of the user's real identity.

Roblox's ID verification process might seem strict, but it's similar to that used by many gambling sites and financial apps worldwide. However, with the platform home to many young gamers, it's a move that will hopefully help to increase safety platform-wide.

In a similar vein, IGN previously reported that Roblox had seen a number of incidents of mass shooting recreations arising on its platform. While the developer hasn't stated that similar incidents are a reason for the introduction of an age verification service and ID checks, incorporating such a system would likely help to improve users' accountability throughout the community.

The sanity preserving school holiday savings continue in fine form today. Switch Lite consoles are selling like hotcakes and are also priced reasonably, so take advantage of that. Ubisoft's obsession with cut-priced AC bargains is also still a thing, as are dirt cheap (and damn highly-rated) first-party Sony titles. Anyway, less talk. More scrolling and saving!
