Quantum Leapdebuted in 1989 and came to a heartbreaking conclusion in 1993.
The final episode devastated fans with the written tag that Dr. Beckett never returned home.
Here are some things that the series should touch on.
The Fate of Sam Beckett
Oh, boy.
This is a tough one.

Was he there making sure Sam got started ok?
As Al, he knows Sam is leaping.
A living embodiment of time?
They are moved through time to muck it up, in effect, Sam’s nemesis.
Will someone or something be out there working against Ben’s leaps?
Will it be worked into the continuing mythology of the series?
This is where the body of Sam Beckett would reside while his spirit occupied another body in time.
The ejected soul/spirit/id/essence of that person would settle into Sam’s body.
As we’ve seen, complications had been known to ensue whenbody-swapping happens, especially in moviesand television.
Where is The Project: Quantum Leap Team?
She had an on-again-off-again relationship with Al, before Sam helped set Al’s past to rights.
How did they deal with things after the events of the series finale?
Are they still out there, striving to find a way to bring Sam home?
Are they working or consulting with Seong?
An acknowledgment of them at the very least should be required.
It could also be played darker, as seen in “Lee Harvey Oswald.”
It will be interesting to see if it was continued occasionally in the new show.
It’s up to you now Dr. Seong.
