Having re-watched Boogie*an with my best friend some weeks ago I picked up on Sam telling what we later find out to be Satan:
"Look, if I leap into a murderer's life, then I, Sam Beckett, I'm not gonna kill
an innocent person. So then I've accomplished what I'm here for, and I should leap, right?"
Just now I watched Blood Moon and he uses this logic once again.
"If Corington did it, than history changed as soon as I got here because I'm him and I'm not gonna kill her right?"
This kind of bugs me now, as an intelligent man shouldn't Sam know better than this? He knows that when he leaps out the person who is returned to their time continues with the timeline not him. This is shown in the second evil leapers episode.
"I need you and Beeks to do a full profile on Arnold, find out what makes this guy tick otherwise I'll leap out, he'll leap back in and start marauding all over again."
So why wouldn't he know that leaping out and putting the other person back in their time would allow an impending murder to proceed?
