I know there's definitely some people who miss certain elements of the first one. And of course we've changed a lot of things.
"Obviously when you have a beloved piece of IP, there's a lot of pressure. "It's been incredibly buoying and encouraging," co-star Caitlin Bassett, who plays Ben's "observer" Addison.
Quantum leap final episode series#
The cast reflected on the impact the show has made on fans, sharing memorable real-life encounters that they've had since the reboot of the '90s Scott Bakula series launched in September. And you can only see that on Quantum Leap," Lee teased. And it's only something that you could do on a show like ours that has to do with science fiction, time travel and the specific theme of leaping into another person's body. It's one of the best scripts I've ever read, period. "It's really well-written, really well-crafted. "I've lost my voice twice throughout shooting this episode.," the actor shared. "But also maybe perhaps I've felt things as an actor I've never felt before throughout the course of this episode."
But as far as specific journeys for individual characters, we're leaving everything up in the air."Įven so, Lee says his character, Ben, is in "quite a bit" of peril throughout the hour. There's some sort of resolution just in terms of we've left the audience with a lot of loose ends to tie, and as promised, we're tying up a lot of those. Just have trust that it will in time."īut Lee played more coy, only saying with regard to a finale cliffhanger, "It could be and also, it might not be. We don't know what's going to happen and how it's going to resolve itself. "This cliffhanger is huge scale of one to 10," he previews. "In terms of time travel, it is definitely a 10 because we built everything to finally get to a place of understanding we fall off that cliff and there's no understanding. Of course, nothing in the world of Quantum Leap goes without major hiccups and the finale, Hudson warns, is no different. So even if you can go back and change that, you didn't change all this other stuff that you set in motion." And in this final episode, we see the impact of what he did and if it gets resolved, how it gets resolved. "The choices you make possibly could have been handled differently, but he didn't consult anyone because we do that sometimes - we take it upon ourselves to fix things. It's entirely possible the Quantum Leap project team is caught in a time loop, one created by Ben."In this first season, we finally realize this is why he did what he did," Hudson teased.
Just as concerning is the fact Janice Calavicci had been rejected from the project due to her personal connection to Al, and Ben is the one who has made her part of events. This was noted in Quantum Leap episode 6, when Magic visited Martinez and afterwards wondered if this action had changed the soldier's life, leading Martinez to look into Quantum Leap and become this mysterious future leaper in the first place. The focus naturally lies on Ben's relationship with Addison, which is becoming increasingly enjoyable given the chemistry between actors Raymond Lee and Caitlin Bassett.īut there is a very real risk Ben is creating the future he dreads.
It is therefore important viewers understand the world in which he operates, the friendships and relationships that mean so much to him, for the story to have any emotional impact at all. Ben may be righting wrongs across the entire timeline, but his focus is upon his own personal world rather than on the lives he changes as he journeys through history. The midseason finale also explains why Quantum Leap has changed its format, focusing as much upon the present day rather than on the past.
