Lt. Jack Stone
Theme: Mike Post Music: Velton Ray Bunch
Project Trivia: There is no imaging chamber door the second time Al comes to Sam.
(1) Sam sees himself dead in two of the flash blacks not Jack Stone. (2) Sam doesn’t know how to jimmy a lock. (3) Sam remembers when Al and he simo-leaped (why doesn’t he remember Donna?)
(1) Al appears seven different times and each time he has a cigar. (2) Al scares Sam the second time he comes to see him. (3) In Dr. Cranes office Al tells Sam that he is the killer. Al says "You are", but the words don’t exactly match his lips in this scene.
(1) In the first image of Jack Stone he has a thick dark mustache whereas in the second image we see, his mustache is thinner and he just looks unshaven, and these two images are on the same day. (2) Dr. Crane tells Sam about Peter Decaro and his wife and why they came to see him. This is a violation of Dr./patient confidentiality and doctors would not divulge this information without a supine.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I love the scary and mysterious murder episodes and this one definitely falls under these categories. This episode makes you think and makes your mind spin. It gave me the chills and made me look over my shoulder when it was over. This is truly one of those episodes you can watch over and over.
"I’m scared Al. I’m scared and confused and I feel like I’m loosing my mind. I don’t want to die Al." --Sam
The best scene in this episode is in the beginning when Sam sees himself die instead of Lt. Jack Stone. You see Sam flashback in black and white, opening the door to the autopsy room with bright white light and he sees himself, eyes wide open, blood on his face and in his mouth.
Al does not remember when he and Sam simo-leaped, but he remembers later in the Lee Harvey Oswald episodes. How does he remember later in his life rather than sooner? Answer by A7MAD: Al does remember when
they simo leaped, however if you look on Als face (his face expression) you see he lied to
Sam here because one would assume Al fears Sam remebering more things about when they
simo-leaped EG. that he is married to Donna and that would stop Sam from doing some of the
things he does for the sake of his mission.
"At the heart of every mystery lies a question." --Sam "That was her problem. She couldn’t give her heart. So I took it. It was the only way I could really help her." --Dr. Crane "In all my years of leaping I can’t remember feeling so unprepared for what was ahead of me and yet seeing those two kids and finding there mother I felt this rage inside me like someone or something else was making me go forward and all I could hope for was that what ever was driving me would let me know what to do with a cold blooded killer." --Sam "Holy Macaral." --Al "What channel are you tuned into? Aww Gees Louise!" --Al "I’m waiting to see if your heads gonna spin around." --Al "…What did he eat for lunch?" --Sam "Or who." –Pamela Roselli |
