That panel with Doug is one of the finest lines I ever wrote for him.

First p Did you hear that AT & T got marries? Well the reception was terrible.

Anyway I loved your insigth regarding the internet vs reality. It is funny because When I was aorund 30 or so I spent way way too much time online. Like all things I dabble in it became very excessive. I related to it immediately. Anyway I thought your comments were spot on.

Chris,
You’re right about the MI scene you describe. I have the actual script that describes it, and it makes the “Al’s picture leaps” ending of MI make much more sense.

In the script, the pic leaps to the shot of Al and his family, pans across the new photo to Al sitting in his living room at the Project with Beth, saying he’s sure Sam is out there, and he wants to find him. Al then Leaps to Al’s Place and the bartender tells him that Sam has gone beyond the limitations of the project, that he’s in the far future. The bartender further explains that if Al wants to follow, all he has to do is Leap himself there, since Leapers control their own leaps. So Al leaps himself and materializes in a spaceport bar (seriously) and looks into a mirror to discover that he’s a woman in a futuristic outfit. “Oh Boy!” and wait for season 6.

Where Bellisario would have taken the series from there we’ll never know, but that’s what he wrote. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed my MI theories. My post-Mirror Image story is still fanfic, however, since no one paid me to write it like FOREKNOWLEDGE. Hope you enjoy!

What about that script for Mirror Image Part 2 that was floating around, that was going to be the Season 6 opening episode? Sam leaps into the future, and Al steps into the Quantum Leap accelerator and gets sent to the bartender. Al asks the bartender where Sam is, and the bartender says something like “I’ll show you where he is, but this time you can’t be there merely as an observer”. Thus, two leapers.

Was that script real, or a fanfic? From what I heard, it was going to be the continuation, but Quantum Leap got cancelled shortly before the end of production on Mirror Image, and the studio added in the epilogue text which originally was nothing like what the story was going to be.

Still, I enjoyed reading your theory. It’s good to see that there’s professional Quantum Leap fiction being written so I’ll have to check it out!

Howdy Christopher, Thanks for the comment and the correction. I’m ashamed to call myself a QL fan for forgetting that Sam does have a daughter. That’s probably why it popped up from my subconscious disguised an original idea. I’m exploring your links now. Will definitely read SBLL. By the way, thanks for writing it so I don’t have to! One thing just stood out in your Mirror Image analysis. You mention Stawpah’s comment about having been here too many times. I completely agree with you that he means this literally. I also agree that this was a very important and overlooked line and it does seem to imply that one won’t move on to “the next leap” until the current one is completed correctly. The rest of the analysis is great and spot on. Cheers! Marcus

Hey Towel Boy,

QL novel author Chris DeFilippis here. (FOREKNOWLEDGE)

I enjoyed your positive spin on the QL series finale. I arrived at similar conclusions in my own deconstruction of Mirror Image, which you can read here if you’d like: http://deflipside.com/?page_id=2063

I also wrote a post Mirror Image story that explores the idea of Sam coming to grips with the new and seemingly unlimited parameters of his leaping, and how they conflict with the promise he made to Donna at the end of The Leap Back. It’s called “Somewhere Between Limbo and Lightning” and you can both read AND listen to me read it here: http://deflipside.com/?p=297

The only thing you seem to have overlooked in your ideas for how the series could continue on is that Sam already has a daughter, Sammi-Jo, thanks to one of his leaps, and that she’s working at the Project with Al to bring Sam home. She’d have to figure prominently in any continuation of the premise, I think.

Anyway, it’s nice to see fans are still talking about QL. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
