...I still don't understand why everyone hates the ending to Quantum Leap. I mean, it provided closure, and opened a way for the fandom's headcanons/fics/etc. to go on forever. It was also a different way to end a popular series at that time, and the novelty factor of that made it seem cooler than it was, too.

I don't get it either. I loved the ending tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's really, really sad.

AYRT

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. Didn't God basically explain that this was what Sam was meant to do/good at/etc? I mean, yeah, it's unfortunate he never will never get home, but OTOH, that's not what the show was about, and Sam ended up continuing "put right what once went wrong" which is what made the show so positive and uplifting.

My two cents.

[(Anonymous)]

But for all we know, he may be effectively immortal. Can you imagine constantly changing bodies/lives forever, with no real rest and no predictability?

[(Anonymous)]

It wasn't all that bad/difficult; what about the time he went home? And I'm sure he ate, slept, did all the things that occur in whatever span of time passes in each person's life he jumps into; they just didn't show us that, because the show was only 45 minutes minus commercials.

When you put it that way, Sam effectively became an Angel for God.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it was cruel. With every leap he wanted to go home, we were told that at the beginning of every episode. It was an intriguing end, but it left me bereft and I was only 8 years old when I watched it originally. Sam could never go home, and he'll always strive to, because (and correct me if I'm wrong because I might be remembering this incorrectly) he doesn't know it's hopeless.

His life is now eternally his mission. I didn't find it to be a satisfying end because I was invested in Sam's goal - leaping home.

[spacebabie]

For me and my mother it was crushing that Sam never got to return to his friends and family. He could never really be himself and be with those he loved. It was a punch to the gut.

I loved the ending. It was bittersweet. Al who had been effed up for most of his adult life because his true love remarried thinking he was dead got his happy ending. How often do you watch a show where not the lead gets the happy ending but the sidekick? Sam knew that he was rewriting time by making sure Al had his happy ending but didn't care. He loved his best friend enough to sacrifice his own happiness. That's true friendship.
