Reply to comment by INMATEofARKHAM in It Still Stings: Quantum Leap's Title Card Typo and the Series Finale that Never Made It Home by SanderSo47

Yeah, I would have liked to see a more complete finale certainly, but I find it strange how many people are certain we would have gotten a happier ending if it had continued. They could have written anything on that title card they wanted, they told us he never made it home.

Course when time travel is involved no rules really apply. This new guy could have a plot where he pops into a person who somehow manages to give Sam a way out. Hw could jump back inside someone at a place and time where Sam is also occupying someon, Sam realizes someone else is out there striving to put right what once went wrong, and then Sam allows himself to stop leaping. Wouldn’t even need to get Scott Bakula to guest star, if that’s the issue, because we could just see the person he’s inhabiting.

Leapers who touch each other show their true selves to the other. (At least that's how it worked with the evil leapers.)

That's also how it works with the new show.

Well then, we can pretend that it was Sam that go every good ending in any story we've seen!

Or the new guy leaps into Sam at some point and makes a different decision.

Nah I’ve played Final Fantasy VIII and I know you shouldn’t fuck about with time compression.

I'm pretty sure that's the road they're on in the new show. After the last episode, I'm nearly certain of it.
