Finest Sci-Fi TV Series - Quantum Leap
Review
Quantum Leap led by Dr. Sam Beckett theorizing that "One could
time-travel within his own lifetime," run by a supercomputer called
Ziggy. Quantum Leap in physics (Quantum Jump) is the change of electron
from one energy state to another within an atom, from one energy level
to another instantaneously. The adventurous story of the series starts
when the project was pressured to prove the theories or lose it's
funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped onto the "accelerator chamber"
and vanished, found himself trapped in the past facing mirror images of
person that was not his own. The story gives tease to viewers and guess
as Dr. Sam randomly leaping from life to life as an adult, male,
female, child, white, black, etc, crossing the story to many theme from
science fiction to family drama, comedy, social commentary or
nostalgia, and winning the show a broad range of fans wait for next
episode and when Sam will be leap back home.
With the help of Dr. Sam's companion Albert "Al" Calavicci who appears
as a holographic projection using "imaging chamber", visible and
audible to Sam and also young children, animals and mentally
ill/fatally wounded persons can see and speak with Al. They got the
chance to correct the past and put wrong to right; preventing Al's
first wife Beth to fall in love with other while Al is in Vietnam war,
correct many mistakes and misjudging and even avert tragedies in
ordinary people's lives. Some part of the series where Sam meets the
Evil Leaper telling him ""Who gave you the right to go bungling around
in time, putting right what I made wrong?" while in the last episode
some feel that the bartender Sam meets, portrays God and tells Sam that
his project was messed up for purpose: to change history for better.
