My Episode Idea

They should have made an episode where Sam leaps into the past/future of Quantum Leap Meaning, he should have leaped into someone working on the project shortly before Sam is supposed to leap into the accelerator. This idea would be great as their would be two Sams, and Two Als. There would be the time traveler Sam and hologram Al, and then the Sam and Al who is actually in the timeline working on project. Sam could try to figure out a way to stop his past self from entering the accelerator, yet Al would tell him about the paradoxes that could happen. To make the idea funnier, think of all the waiting room scenes they can do with Al communicating with someone from the project in Sam's body and them being all surprised.

I always felt this idea I came up would have been a fun way, and be in a few ways compliment the season 4 premiere "The Leap Back."

Or some other time travelers who time travel in the way that it's done in other science fiction works (slingshot around the sun a la Star Trek IV) and who know about Quantum Leap. So they meet Sam in all his different leaps and they know who he is, because they have special glasses that alter their own brainwaves (a la They Live) and offer to get him home.

I have an idea too, but it would feature a deceased celebrity, kinda like the fan made "A Leap To Di For". 😀

Mine is a story I wrote on FanFiction.Net called "Blinded By The Light" where Sam leaps into a hypnotherapist (why not? He's done hypnosis before)in September of '76, which is not only when I was born, but also on the same day Viking II landed on Mars (which happened on my birth date)in Latrobe, PA. In the story, the oldest daughter of Sam's host witnesses her best friend getting shot, and Sam uses hypnosis on his host's daughter to get her to tell what happened that night, then when she does tell, Al tells him he needs to protect the rest of the family, and they go to this cabin that had been in his host's family for years. The result of Sam's leap end with the guy the oldest daughter named pointing a finger at his cousin as the shooter, which results in the guy getting sent to the electric chair about four years later; the oldest daughter takes over her father's hypnotherapy practice when he retires; and the youngest daughter goes to medical school and becomes a cardiologist who later works at Project Quantum Leap.
