ABOUT QUANTUM LEAP:
Scott Bakula stars as Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist caught in a time warp, who leaps into the bodies of different people in different time periods in order to "put right what once went wrong." Sam becomes lost in time after prematurely entering the time-travel accelerator he had been working on as part of a secret government project. Sam's only guidance comes in the form of Al Calavicci, Sam's cigar-smoking, womanizing best friend, who appears as a hologram only Sam can see. Al, a senior officer on the time-travel project, explains that the only way Sam can return to his time is to correct something that went wrong in whatever period of history he leaped into. Using information from the project's artificial intelligence computer, Ziggy, Al is able to tell Sam what originally transpired in history and what change Sam will have to make in order to leap again. Over the course of the series, Sam leaps into all manner of people and has brushes with many famous figures in history, including Lee Harvey Oswald, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe and Buddy Holly.

What a legend of a actor Dean Stockwell, and will be truly miss but he will live on helping Dr Sam Beckett find his way home. Be it on earth or above.

Though no one knew it at the time, Dean was using the very first Smart Phone! He was way ahead of Apple! LOL

I remember thinking when I first watched this episode when the power ran out and the lines disappeared that it wasn’t a big deal. They established in previous episodes that Sam has a photographic memory. So seeing it for the moment it was on the table should have been enough.

It's interesting that Al was always complaining about "Ziggy's limitations". Yet, it was Sam, who created Ziggy. Because of Sam's "Swiss cheese brain", he was totally inept in assisting Al to overcome Ziggy's glitches.

The episode that I used to hook my pool shark father onto the show.

Ziggy predicts that Sam has a one-hundred percent chance of making that final shot. It came to this conclusion by realizing that this wasn't the last episode of the series.

Seems there's the limit on the free version of the app.

Colour of skin should not matter. God is love and people who are good are fine by me

[JDJay]

Just found out you can change the Amexa wake word to ziggy!

Sadly the final episode of the series.... makes the entire series impossible...if you accept it as canon....the plot couldn't happen
