Hello all.
I recently watched The Leap Back and really enjoyed it, it had the story and the humor and obviously getting to see more of the project was great.
However something that has been bugging me over it was that they had the brilliant plan of postdating a letter, but why if they could do this does Sam not send himself a letter in the future saying "Don't go into the damn machine!".
I mean if he included personal details and stuff to make it authentic then theoretically the instant he posted it he would leap, or if not he could try a more convincing letter.
Thankfully for us he hasn't done this, but in this episode they attempt to retrieve him, so everyone including himself wants Sam back in 1999.
Hopefully I'm missing something that makes this impossible or maybe some kind person here can invent something to end the torment.
P.s: I imagine this may have been discussed before, but I couldn't find a decent Search String to find any similar posts. So my apologies if this already has been discussed.
