Strange Fact About Quantum Leap:
"In the second season episode "All Americans", Al notes that he is watching Super Bowl XXX and that the Steelers are three points behind. The game did in fact feature the Steelers, who trailed the Dallas Cowboys by exactly three points at two different points in the game. This is notable because the episode was filmed over six years before the game actually took place."
This doesn't surprise me since Quantum Leap could only have been real. I've never woken up in a white room, leading me to believe I've never been 'inhabited' by Dr. Sam Beckett. Since the year when Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator (and vanished, I might add) is now past, I no longer will be (he can't travel forward in time, only backwards and forwards within his own lifetime from the point of being born until the point of stepping into the Quantum Leap Accelerator (and vanishing.))
This 'rule' was broken a couple of times in the televised representation of Quantum Leap, but they were really important times. I don't think that would apply to anything that could happen in Derby, to me, now. However, it is important to note that although the 'episodes' in the series were only ever (in my recollection (swiss cheese memory? it could be...)) set in America or Vietnam, this is only down to the bias of American Television Stations and/or American Television Executive Producers. This doesn't mean that a person in Derby could not have been affected in some life-affirming/heart-warming way by the real Dr. Sam Beckett, at some point between the fifties and 1995-ish.
Do you remember waking up in a white room?Were you ever approached by a man with a rainbow calculator and a cigar?
Have you ever suspected someone close to you to be acting 'strange' and making pets and small children act equally 'strange'?
At any point in your life, have you, or someone you know, ever walked into a room wide-eyed and muttered "Oh Boy!"
