Quantum Leap

[Skip]

Love it, one of the best concepts I can remember Hehehe and Sam as a woman was always funny

[Extemper1]

i saw the Dracula one the other day, a few days before Halloween actually. I thought it ironic that most of my favorite shows were showing vampy stuff.... since i WAS a vampy for Halloween.... but really... did anyone think i was gonna be anything but?

I'm glad this has sparked memories of Quantum Leap. It should have it's own mini forum. Well anyway to get the thoughts flowing even better here are some quotes from the series:

Narrator: Theorizing that one could time travel within his own life time, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum leap accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

At Sam and Al's first meeting]
Dr. Sam Beckett: Who are you?
Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci: My name is Albert... Albert what, I can't tell you because it's restricted. Most of what you'll want to know is restricted, so it would be a lot easier if you don't ask a lot of questions.
Dr. Sam Beckett: What are you?
Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci: That's a question, Sam.

"You know, maybe this quantum leaping isn't such a bad deal after all. Getting a chance to put things right, to make the world a better place - who knows what I can accomplish before I'm done."
(Sam Beckett, Genesis)

"...you're part of a time-travel experiment that went... a little ca-ca."

(Sam, in Jimmy)

[Skip]

PM Padders, if there is sufficient interest, there may be one!

[Sinistra]

yeah! A quantum leap mini-forum!

[carkedit]

I LOVE QUANTUM LEAP!!!!!!:rolly2: :rolly2:

They have just started to show it again over in NZ..moved here just in time!

Scott Bakula is great...love the episode where he was a bounty hunter...nice no shirt shot there I think my fav was when he went back as himself and was tring to stop his brother dying in Veitnam, that and the ones where he tried to save Violet.
