I downloaded this today because I've never seen it and I used to enjoy Quantum Leap as a kid. Sam finds that he's leaped into a bar on the day of his birth. But he's made the leap in his own body, and can see himself in the mirror and how he's aged over the years while leaping. The bar is full of people with familiar names, and the bartender seems to know a lot. Sam and an old man help save two of the town's trapped miners, but Sam doesn't leap after this, the old man does! And when Sam asks the people in the bar about it, they claimed not to have seen the old man, but recognize the name as the man has been dead for several years. The bartender knows everything, and Sam believes the bartender is God, or Time, or Fate. Sam believes that the bartender has been the one leaping Sam through time, but the bartender says it's Sam who's been making himself leap and that he can stop anytime he wants. Sam breaks down, starts crying, and says that he wants to go home. Than he says he has to right a wrong and he leaps back to a previous mission where he tell's Al's wife that Al was still alive and was a p.o.w. and that he would eventually return. Then the screen fades to black, and some text tells us that Al's wife never remarried and that Al and his wife ended up having 4 children and a long wonderful marriage. Then I was expecting something good for Sam and got these words instead. "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home." Sad, sad, sad.
I still have some questions about the whole thing, but will wait for anyone else's comments. |
