Oh, god, that episode made me cry too!
And the finale got me as bad as Chosen did.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

It's a remora, dimwit.
"Quantum Leap" had two great selling points for me. First, that the little people and their lives really did matter. And second, each time Sam couldn't just be himself, he had to adjust to the body he was in, and experience that person's life, and learn to use their means. And with all the time he spent as women, he could make a kickass SNAG, or drag queen.

I can't even.
I really liked QL. I think it was the Peggy Su-ee! episode that hooked me. I wasn't the least bit fannish about it, so I have no idea what the episode titles are.

Dana, I was once randomly in a bar that was SO QL Finale I kept blinking.
Man, I loved that show.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I also never knew episode names, although we all watched it as a family faithfully enough to chase it down every time it changed nights/times (many). I loved it the first time Sam was a woman -- and the fact that he got better at it as the series went on.
Quantum Leap -- making the early 1990s safe for hand-wringing liberalism!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I was pretty pissed off at the QL finale. Sam should have gotten home. It's not like they couldn't have found an excuse for him to leap again, someday.
Not getting to go home to your wife and friends? Argh.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANIEL!!!!!
And what WAS the finale?

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre
Loving QL is why I couldn't take Enterprise seriously, even before it totally sucked. I watch Scott being all captainy and just think 'Boy, have you leapt into the wrong place.' Any minute Al's going to walk in through a wall and start drooling at T'Pol.
Speaking of Al, did anyone see that Stargate ep where Al was Jonas's mentor, only he was schizophrenic? Now that was weird. But well done, I didn't figure it out, the first time around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sam should have gotten home. It's not like they couldn't have found an excuse for him to leap again, someday.
Well, not so much someday, as much as maybe next season. Wasn't it, Dana, that they just weren't sure if they were coming back, so they went out on a cliffhanger?
But I'm good with sad finales.

I don't actually know. But the finale seems pretty final to me. They had all those people back from the course of the series.
