Quantum Leap

Theory

I think Ben's target is the Bar from S05E22: Mirror Image of the original Quantum Leap project.

In the series finale episode, Al left him at the Bar to figure out what's happening and why the Bar was weird… as per Sam's explanation to him. After that, they never met again.

So, officially, Sam's was marked as 'lost in time' and 'never went home'. But Ben and Al's daughter probably have a theory where to start their search, and that is the Bar, the last known location Al saw Sam.

The only question is, was not that why the Quantum Leap project was restarted? To find and rescue Sam? If so, don't they have a record of Sam's last known location?

[spoiler]It is starting to appear, as of Episode 3, that Al hid the information about the Bar from the records, and years later his daughter figured it out and she convinced Ben to do it her way -- reach the Bar and start their search from there.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]This is an interesting twist. Why? If Quantum Leap 2.0, or at least Ben, learns that they can leap whenever and wherever the Leaper wants, it can open up a whole new different plot for this sequel. Instead of it being 'random', they can start adding stories about a real attempt to change the past … and Ben will struggle between following the orders of the Pentagon or fighting back.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]It will also open an opportunity to explore what the "Mirror Image" series finale episode hinted at, there are other Leapers.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]With that knowledge about Leapers actually controlling their leaps, would it not be amiss if the Pentagon doesn't make use of the opportunity [to start a Temporal (Cold) War]?[/spoiler]

Then we have Ben, and his team, trying to correct or stop them?

I love the references to the original series' characters so it's a continuation and not a reboot, which I'm very happy about. I love the mystery & open-ended questions. I love the original - one of my favorite shows. This show is really good.

The 2022 series is as good as the original QL and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

This is a very worthy reboot of the original show. What I really like about it is how the stories involve the team behind the scenes at home base (point of place and time of his original leap). This brings a really good balance to the show.

As the went ont this first season it became clear that leaping is much more complicated than it weas ever depicted in the original show. This too brings a great new depth to the story-telling here. There are soo many places this show could go.

Prediction regarding the first episode in season 2 [spoiler] Sam Becket is going to jump into the now not Ben - but Becket will almost immediately jump back out in order to help save been [/spoiler] .

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

So far so good, living the behind the scene story that was missing from the original, hoping that Sam Becket makes a reapearace in future episodes

It's okish If you can leap into it.

Main character has to play new role every episode. I think Lee will have problem with even one of them... I hope I'm wrong. Even Ernie Hudson would be better choice for Ben.

So far i'm liking this show. no reboot can top the orignal but its a good show. Dr. Sam beckett needs to make an appearance and i think he will if the show stays on the air.

Could be epic, but rice and repeat and the ongoing story drags on.

Let's hope for better in the next series.
