Bellisario, the episode, which was directed by James Whitmore, Jr. Written by series creator and executive producer Donald P. However, the footage leaked was in poor quality and is speculated to be a first take of the scene. Mirror Image was the 22nd and final episode of Season 5 of Quantum Leap, also the 97th and final episode of the series. On May 29th, 2019, footage of the alternate ending being filmed was leaked online by Reddit user u/Leaper1953. ![]() The finding of the photo negatives showed proof that the long-rumored alternate ending did exist, and was later confirmed to be genuine by several people involved with the show's production. However, on February 19th, 2018, video content producer Allison Pregler (who is a big fan of the series) made a video on the photo negatives that she purchased on eBay depicting an alternate ending of the episode where Al discusses with Beth about going back for Sam. For years, it was speculated by fans that the ending title cards were forced by NBC at the last minute as a result of the show's cancellation and that an alternate ending existed of Al leaping back for Sam, but the show's showrunner Donald Bellisario denied that such ending ever existed. While the final episode was otherwise well-received by fans of the series, the ending was widely criticized for being rushed and ending the series on a bitter note. The episode then ends with title cards explaining that Al and Beth never got divorced and had four daughters, and the final title card states that Sam Beckett never returned home. Sam then leaps back to April 1st, 1969, to tell Beth that Al is coming home and is still alive.

What is the point of making the team suspicious of Ben & his motivations? Why did they think they needed a mystery about Al's daughter? If you want a good time traveling TV series with good storytelling, watch the original. First, Ben finally made it to the future to find Ian Wright ( Mason Alexander Park) alone where he gets the code the teams young tech whiz will need to save the day. This is a case where telling the viewers that the team was working on trying to fix the problems with Ziggy & figuring out a way to get Sam back was better than showing us what they're doing in the present to get Ben back. There's also way too much split focus, going between Ben trying to help people back to the project isn't needed. Instead they decided that they needed to make it into a flat action adventure series. You grew to care about the people that Sam was helping in the episode & not just Sam himself. They barely give you any reason to care about Ben & no reason to care about the people he's helping. They removed everything about the original series from it to make it into a series without substance. ![]() I watched the first two episodes (the second one only because Beth Calavicci was in it) and to say I'm underwhelmed by it is an understatement and I think I understand why Scott Bakula doesn't want anything to do with it. ![]()
