I thought the ending was perfect and touching.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay. Found something:
Now the subject of great debate amongst its fans, the last episode of Quantum Leap, the infamous Mirror Image, was intended to be a season finale cliff-hanger. With the announcement of the show's cancellation well after the filming and much of the editing of Mirror Image was complete, the episode was hastily re-edited to turn it into a series finale. Although the episode was originally designed to address many outstanding questions about Sam's leaping, it raised many more new questions that it answered. Many fans were, and still are, unsatisfied with Mirror Image. There have been numerous requests over the years for a TV movie (or even a feature film) to bring proper closure to the series.

Up with the sun
I was pretty pissed off at the QL finale. Sam should have gotten home.
I liked it. It made me cry. Remember the moment when he saw himself in the mirror -- his real face -- for the first time in however many years? Shamelessly tearjerking.
Sam's situation is tragic if you look at it objectively, of course ... but subjectively, he did so much good as a leaper, and he was used to it. I like the idea of him out there somewhere, striving to put right what once went wrong, home a pleasant swiss-cheesy memory.

It's a remora, dimwit.
They could bring back the show by having some transporter accent that tosses Bakula into the bodies of various people he has to help.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm the original non-sad-ending-liking girl, and I thought the QL finale was just about perfect. Maybe because I never really believed in my heart that Sam wouldn't make it home. And because he did make a choice, and he got to help Al, and because he was the kind of guy that was made to help people.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I guess I would have preferred that he had control and still lept. It would make it more noble if he jumped to right what once went wrong each week knowing he might or might not get back.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The way I choose to deal with it is that, when dealing with time travel, "never" doesn't really apply. I had QL fanfic in my head before I knew what fanfic was, fanwanking Sam home.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So apparently Matt Roush got a jack-o-lantern carved to look like Chiana in the mail today from some people in the Save Farscape campaign. I'm sending DH to work with my digital camera on Monday to take a picture.
