    Wouldn't a new Quantum Leap limited series be cool?

    With 24: Live Another Day being such a success and the recent announcements of new Twin Peaks and The X-Files limited series - I'm wondering if attention will soon be turned to Quantum Leap? The ending of the series finale will be a tough one to swerve but I reckon it could be handled either...

    How I would've done the final episode...

    OK, a friend of mine and I were discussing the final episode of the show, Mirror Image. Personally, I am not a fan. I think the ending was a cheat. When he asked me how I would have ended the show - I told him my idea and he loved it. Here goes... Basically, he would've leaped out of Memphis...

    These are going for a song on Amazon...

    You can pick up second hand copies of the novels on the UK Amazon site for as little as 1p (plus a couple of quid postage and packaging). I've lost many of mine over the years but I'm thinking of picking up another copy of Ashley McConnel's prelude. Fancy re-reading that one...

    Who would you cast in the Quantum Leap movie?

    OK, we know there are rumblings of a Hollywood movie in which Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell are all but guaranteed to cameo in. Question is, who gets the big roles of Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci? Personally, I think Ewan McGregor would make an excellent Sam Beckett. He's more than capable...

    Quantum Leap's best season?

    For me I have to say season one. The first four seasons are quite strong, but the first one really does it for me. I feel that things fall apart a bit in the fifth. You guys?

    I met Scott Bakula last week

    He was at London Comic Con 2009. I'm sorry to say that he came across as kind of a jerk. His autograph was stupidly expensive (but like an idiot I still paid to get it) and he was charging more than anyone else there. He was also refusing to have his photo taken with fans. I still took a...

    If the new Knight Rider is succesful...

    Maybe that will start a trend that will see a lot of old TV shows resurrected? Maybe Quantum Leap? It's about time? This could be a good thing guys. Anyway to celebrate, let's join the Hoff as he looks for freedom.

    Did QL "Jump The Shark"? in Season 5?

    A controversial question for sure. I was thinking about an old issue of SFX which had an article asking this very question. The article thinks the show J'd the S in Season 5, when the producers made the decision to have Sam leap into real life personalities. I actually do think these episodes...

    Where's Donna in "Mirror Image"?

    and Tina and Beeks for that matter. It's like Sam's wife is just forgotten about after "The Leap Back".

    Anyone here got kids on the way?

    Hope this ain't too much of a personal question for any of you guys, but is anyone out there expecting kids? My wife is six months pregnant with my first child, it's due in May. I'm already a step-dad to her 12 year old son. It's be nice to hear from anyone in the same boat as me, or any...

    Due South

    After Quantum Leap ended, this became my favourite show. I recently got the DVD set of Season 1 and I'm loving it! Any other fans?

    Seasons 4 and 5 on Region 2?

    Anyone? Hopefully, because Season 3 is being released so quickly after Season 2 on Region 2, we won't have long to wait for the remaining seasons. At least that's what I'm hoping....

    You guys heard this about "Mirror Image"?

    I've read quite a few times that "Mirror Image" was never intended to be the very final episode of the series. It was just supposed to be a season finale, and not a series finale. Apparently the legend about "Sam Beckett Never Returned Home" was added on hastily at the end, when NBC informed the...

    My idea for a screenplay

    I used to have an ambition of going into screenwriting. This has changed over the recent years, as now I want to be a novelist. However, one idea I was kicking around was an idea for a sequel to Quantum Leap, which I wanted to write and then send to Donald P. Bellisario. I will outline the basic...

    Hey, I'm ChickenStu, nice to meet you all!

    Hey, my name's Stu. Thought I'd introduce myself. 27 years old, live in the UK, married to Wendy, have an 11 year old step-son, and a baby on the way. Quantum Leap was my favourite programme as a schoolboy. It used to be on 9pm, Thursday nights on BBC2, and my parents used to let me stay up late...
