apparently the first 3 episodes are in varying quality on youtube, and the 4th one comes up as "plex" during google searches.
Will Sam Beckett Return Home? NBC Orders Quantum Leap Reboot Pilot
- Thread starter Ryan Thomas Riddle
- Start date
First time I've heard of it!
(I really liked the Prime version by the way!).
have not watched yet. i swear they weren't there when i checked a few years ago. odd.
I finished season 2 on Netflix.
I had a question. In the finale, they say Hannah's code will swap Ben with someone else, allowing him to return home. But Addison does not leap into Ben. It appears she leaps into someone and Ben is still leaping in someone too. So how did that happen? How did Addison not swap with Ben? Maybe Hannah lied about what the code would do. Her last comment to Ben about home being a person, not a place, suggests that she knew that Ben would not return home but rather he would be reunited with Addison. So maybe she planned it that way on purpose.

It could be simply that things don't always work the way they were intended to. To paraphrase what Diane Duane sometimes wrote about magic in her Young Wizards series, science always works, but it doesn't necessarily work the way we thought it would, because we can never know everything.
Thanks. The show does leave some mystery about how the leaps work. So it is possible that Ian thought Hannah's equation woudl work a certain way but it ended up doing something different.
It's a shame it got canned I wanted more
i wonder what season 3 of the reboot would have been about
Me too. I liked season 2 better than season 1.
Miles better than season 1
One thing on the forums were people who were accusing Addison of being too pretty which I found really an odd thing to get hung up on
I liked it and felt sure if it had done a few seasons Sam would have shown up
It would have been about Ben and Addison leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that the next leap...would be the leap home.

well yeah
but i wonder what the storylines at home base would be in season 3

I wonder how Ben and Addison would maintain their romantic relationship in those leaps. After all, Ben and Addison are still leaping into other people, right? Or are they leaping as themselves now? I know the show shows us Addison and Ben for convenience so we can see the actors but in reality Ben and Addison would be in other people's bodies. That would make a relationship super weird. In one leap, Ben could be in a 10 year old girl and Addison could be in a 40 year old man. In another leap, Ben and Addison could leap into a mother and daughter or into two brothers.
I would imagine they could do something with the Pentagon putting up a lot of red tape to make things harder. There could be a congress person on an overight committee who wants to shut down QL or take it over. Or maybe the Pentagon wants to militarize QL. So someone from the Pentagon shows up and wants Addison and Ben to do military or spy missions during their leap, different from the original leap mission. This could create conflict between obeying the Pentagon to avoid being shut down and still trying to follow the original mission of the leap to do good and help people.
Or maybe Ziggy gets corrupted and wants Ben and Addison to hurt people instead of helping people. The QL team at home base have to fix Ziggy before too many people get hurt.

I thought it was a okay show but I can't say I miss it now that it's been cancelled. I will forever be disappointed they didn't act quicker and get around to doing more QL were Sam and Al are teamed up again. Now we will never get to see that. Except maybe through AI I guess but somehow that will never feel the same. I would love to see some of the actors on the show be used in the new Stargate series. The guy who ran this show will be running that. Especially in the case of Raymond Lee, Mason Alexander Park and of course Ernie Hudson who actually has already done Stargate before.
Ah, umm, Dean Stockwell died before production even began on this show, making Al returning a literal impossibility.
i wonder who would be the als for addison and ben in season 3
I meant that we should have gotten a Quantum Leap reboot many, many years ago before they ever did that show.
