Not the end of the World
But my fury was apocalyptic when after several years of watching Quantum Leap they finished it all with the pissiest ending they could think of.

Even thinking about it as I type this is filling me with rage.

Wankers.

Very few US series seem to manage a decent ending
I think the reason is that most series get cancelled before they get to the end, and with the weird US habit of writing it as you go along, the creators can promise much, with little chance of ever having to deliver.

Lost springs to mind, here...

It never happened (short version).
Long version - Al's first wife (his true love) didn't remarry thinking he'd died in 'Nam. They lived happily ever after and Al didn't ever join the Quantum Leap project, so no project. Sam was left bouncing around time.
Best. TV. Series. Ever.

Dagenham?

They said at the end.....
"Dr Sam Beckett never returned home"

But they never said 'which' home, was it the Quantum Leap project or was it back home on the farm he grew up on?

Watch the last few episodes again and it kind of makes sense?

It was portrayed as some sort of deitific purgatory
which I did think was a bit of a cop out too
