Quantum Leap (s01e01–02)
Genesis
by Donald P. Bellisario, directed by David Hemmings
Physicist and all-around good guy Sam Beckett rushes his time machine into
production—funding is about to be cut!—and as a consequence, he leaps into the life
of a USAF test pilot, where Sam and his holographic cohort Al have a moral mission. And
after setting things right in that pilot’s life, Sam—“oh, boy”—takes a few
moments to win the big baseball game in 1968.
— Inmate Jan
One end of this string represents your birth, the other end your death. You tie the ends
together, and your life is a loop. Ball the loop, and the days of your life touch each
other out of sequence, therefore leaping to one point in the string to another
. . .
