Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Christina Urban
Unwilling time-traveler Dr. Sam Beckett Scott Bakula continues to hurtle through history in the second season of Quantum Leap, aided by his holographic companion, Al Dean Stockwell. This 22-episode season builds on the 9 episodes of Season 1 with more leaps into the bodies of real people in trouble at different times in history. With the exception of "Another Mother," an episode set in 1981 in which Sam leaps into the body of a divorced mother of three, all of the leaps this season place the action in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. In this second year, Leap perfects its formula: sometimes funny, often emotional, and always attuned to the morals, values, and beliefs that prevailed in the sundry eras. Episodes dealing with racism, sexism, politics, and religion made audiences stop and think about their own beliefs and gave Leap an impact unique among cult sci-fi shows. In "The Americanization of Machiko," for example, Sam becomes a sailor who must deal with bigotry when he brings his Japanese wife back to his small hometown. Sam leaps into a woman -- for the first time -- and has to contend with '60s-era sexual harassment in "What Price Gloria?" In "Jimmy," Sam struggles for acceptance as a mentally handicapped man. And in "So Help Me God," Sam defends a black woman accused of murdering the son of the most powerful man in a southern town in 1957. Other Leap outings this season aren't as emotionally resonant but are equally entertaining: "Disco Inferno," in which Sam is a stuntman who tries save his younger brother's life; "Blind Faith," about a blind pianist who rescues his girlfriend from a killer; "Animal Frat," with Sam as a drunken party boy who attempts to prevent a violent Vietnam protest; and "Maybe Baby," which finds Sam on the run as the cohort of a stripper who has kidnapped a baby. Keep an eye out this season for guest stars Patricia Richardson Home Improvement, John Hillerman Magnum, P.I., Robert Duncan McNeill Star Trek: Voyager and John Cullum and Janine Turner Northern Exposure.

    MIA Episode disappointing

    In the original TV broadcast, the song being played while Al "danced" with his wife was "Georgia", and it was so very poignant. On the DVD though, the song was replaced with some dopey, boring, cheesy, non-descript instrumental. It changed the whole tone of the scene and the story. Very disappointing!
