: You were watching Leap because you wanted to see him get home?
No. Sam helped people because HE hoped that eventually, God, or whatever it was that was leaping him around, would let him go home. I'm glad he did right by Al, of course I am. I'm just saying that that single line at the end of the episode:
"Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home."
Was crap. It was Universal writing the show off.
Did you watch Farscape?
End of season 4, John and Aeryn get dissolved into teensy weensy little particles, leaving only the engagement ring that John's just given to Aeryn. Y'know how the show's creators chose to end that episode, even though they knew that Sci Fi Channel had cancelled the series?
To Be Continued.
And now, it's going to be.
Quantum Leap didn't get that kind of chance, and it pisses me off.
