Moriarty Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Great show spoiled by it getting cancelled and them making a complete mod edit of the final episode. I agree. There is absolutely no reason why they couldn't bring it back now. Would still work, and they would have another 15 years to play with. Bring back Quantum Leap!

Jamboelite Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think at the time of it cancelling there was actually a protest outside the network demanding it be restarted. Summary of the last episode after about 8yrs being on TV(i have no idea if it was on that long felt like it though) Sam ends up in a bar surrounded by people with the same names as those he has helped including ziggy and the bartender who is called Al and knows all about what he has been upto and who he is. How does it then end Sam goes back and leaps into some army boy who then tells his mate Al's wife that he is infact alive in Vietnam and not to remarry and that he will be home soon. Cue credits and the quote "Al stayed with his wife blah blah blah and Dr Sam Beckett never returned home" I can tell you it still pi@ses me off even now. Can you tell this has been along standing issue with me i hate when series just end quickly cause they are cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Quantum Leap? I think I saw an episode where the main character "jumps" through time and takes over the body of some random and then had to come to some conclusion in that persons existence that made him jump out again, [referably back to his own time. Dean Stockwell appeared offering advice to the main character (Sam?) aided by his pocket gizmo that allowed him to communicate with Ziggy (or was that ziggy itself?) who would calculate what Sam had to do to jump back. I remember it being quite a wholesome moral thing that Sam had to do to earn his "jump". I watched another episode and in that one the main character "jumps" through time and takes over the body of some random and then had to come to some conclusion in that persons existence that made him jump out again, [referably back to his own time.

Darth Sidious Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 On his travels he met a young boxer called Sylvester Stallone and also there was a Halloween special where Sam gives a kid ideas for horror stories....a kid called Stephen King. Favourite episode was the Egypt one. With the bony hand tapping the baddie's shoulder and then the screams! Great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Busby ! Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 It never really explored the full range of possibilities. There was quite a few times he came back as a decent looking woman. The natural reaction of any time-travelling gender-changing bloke would have been to find out ... well you know ... "what its like for a woman". Tell me I'm wrong !
