QUANTUM LEAP ENDING

[philoshaughnessy]

I took a gut punch when I read that Sam never made it home.
A brilliant show. America has produced some fantastic series and this one is up with the best.

The real ending should have been Sam Beckett leaping into a NBC executive and making sure Quantum Leap got its sixth season

Rest In Peace, Dean Stockwell. You were a true talent. You are missed by all your fans.

It's been 26 years since the series finale. We're still waiting for Sam to return home.

My dad is 25 years gone today. This was our last series together 😢😢😢

Who's here after finding out Al's gone? RIP Dean Stockwell.

Best unintended and rushed ending ever. (Epilogue was added after they found out the show was cancelled) Sam finds out he could return home whenever he wanted to. He never returned home. That means he continued to right what once went wrong by choice. You’re a good man Sam Beckett

As a kid I hated this ending...really wanted Sam to make it home. But as I've aged and watched this over and over I now realize it's sad yet fitting because sometimes life is sacrifice and Sam taught us that well. A perfect ending...

Watching this in 2021 and I still shed a tear. I grew up on this show, always expecting that Sam would eventually return home, but he made the ultimate sacrifice to put Al on a path to happiness and to keep leaping and making right what once went wrong for eternity.

I don't know how many times I have watched Sam give his future up to save Al's ... But every damn time, it reduces me to tears. Great writing. Great show. "God Bless, Sam."

Thanks for everything, Mr. Stockwell.

One of the true Gems of TV.. I remember me and my brother watching this whole series when it aired, the song "Georgia on my mind" always will remind me of Al, and we both cried at the last episode when Sams fate was revealed... SO amazing!

I loved this show so much, I was in high school and my brother and I use to watch it. Later on I bought all the seasons on DVD and to this day I watch a episode or two.

As a kid I hated the ending initially. That he never returned home. Now as an adult I love that he'd rather spend the rest of time putting things right for others, than being selfish and living his own life. He's pretty much an angel.

[SteveGarza]

The Vietnam episodes were always the best, well written, well acted episodes and they always moved you. The MIA episode was heartbreaking. Then the episode with the photograph of Al as a prisoner of war at the end was very powerful.

I remember this episode from watching reruns for the first time when I was younger.

You want to know how much this episode burned itself into my mind the first time around? Every time the theme intro or Sam himself mentioned the next leap being the leap home I felt a chill, the Al Calovichi episode, I almost started to cry but I needed to keep things normal because I was watching this time with a friend.

Then it happened, he leaps out of Elvis and into a bar, with the bartender, and I instantly knew where we were. I remembered sooo much of this episode.

I literally started shaking when I saw the bartender as I knew what my friend was about to see.

That last line, Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home stuck with me my entire life and I feel it in my heart every time I think about it.



Absolutely excellent show tho. I don't watch a lot of television and don't binge on shows except maybe cartoons but Quantum Leap is one of the best shows ever made.


Also, the theme song SLAPS!

[doribrante]

This show was one of the best shows ever made.

[shelleywayne]

When young Al in the picture leaped that also could have meant that Beth no longer needs the picture of Al to remember him because Beth now knows that Al is alive and is coming home to her thanks to Sam. Quantum Leap really intrigued me when it was being made and still the same way about it now. Just can't not get enough of the show.

[annakey]

On of the greatest series ever, great scenarios, difficult social questions as racism, women rights, disabled people rights and so on. Great actors and I was crying several times 😊

[dscharlesworth]

Al and Sam might be the best duo ever in a t.v. series.
