This week, The Rod would like to examine some possible scenarios for a new Quantum Leap to explore.

When it’s a dream….

Al Calavicci awakens from a bad dream, in it, his best friend Sam Beckett vanished and was never seen again. Only problem is, he can’t remember who Sam Beckett was.

With this dream in his head, Al may realise that Dr Beckett really IS trapped in time.

Now maybe Al wouldn’t know whom Sam was as a result of Sam changing time, and persuading Beth to stay with Al. So this movie could be all about Al’s quest to retrieve his long lost friend.

He could leap (and be the new leaper) or send a leaper (knowing Al, it WOULD be female!!) after Sam, and maybe find him, or maybe get close, but then lose him.

When it Never Happened/Is about to happen…

The story centers on Sam Beckett, who is about to take a large leap for mankind by using his Quantum Accelerator for the first time.

Or perhaps they could focus on the events of Project Starbright.

There they could focus on the blossoming friendship between one Al "Bingo" Calavicci and Dr Sam Beckett.

Well, think about it, prequels are all the rage these days!!

With the announcement of a movie and the possibility of a new leaper, minds have been working overtime to try and anticipate what or whom the story will revolve around.

Will it have Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula, will it stay true to the original ideas of Quantum leap, and will it have a new Leaper?

These are just a few of the questions being asked of The Rod week in and week out on the Rodternet.

Open your minds and consider the following:

• Dr Lothos has found out about Project Quantum Leap (well, nothing our government does stays secret for very long does it!!) and has decided to use the same principles in the pursuits of evil gains. This could tie in with the Bonnie Hammer announcement, as Alia was female!!
• The evil leaper complex could actually be in Hell, and perhaps Satan Himself is running that particular show. Seeing that Sam Beckett is doing good deeds all over time, He decides to use the same idea, except for evil.
