Here's a bit of trivia about Mirror Expression...

If you read closely, the names of people and places in each part come straight from the Quantum Leap TV series.

Example: "Bruckner's Pet Shop" comes from the last name of the Bruckner family in the episode "Another Mother."

Example: The name Sam uses, "Sam Beederman" comes from the name of the man he leaped into in the episode "Shock Theater."

Brad and Moira McCloud are the only names not pulled from the world of QL. Brad was the name of my best friend in kindergarten. Moira was named after Moira Kelly, the actress. And McCloud comes from the last name of an old friend of mine.

As the story progresses, how many names can you find, and what episodes are they from?

Have fun!

Great Job Brian! I decided to just go ahead and read it instead of waiting to read all the 6th season eps up through the 9th season.
This episode would have aired. Very Bellisario-like!
My rating as just a reader: 5
Even though I haven't read Second Genesis yet, I am pretty sure that it's as good as the Mirror Expression trilogy!

P.S. Tess McGill and Bruce McGill(Genesis and Mirror Image)

This is a very excellent sequel to "Mirror Image." I love how episode clips are put in. Everyone here resembles someone froma previous leap.
