asearcher said:I take it, this is a rating you put in at fanfiction.net? Since I've only recently been aquainted with that site. (H*LL, if you consider 6 months recent, I've only been recently aquainted with Al's Place...but now it feels like I've been here forever (and happily too)!) I'm not sure exactly how I set these things to All or M+ or whatever.
Help????

With a bit of luck, I just might be posting another chapter by the end of the week. Things are starting to get really :hair, so hang onto your hat!

Hi! I reviewed earlier on this chappie (Chapter Eighteen) but a thought came to me later about it. If Derek could hear/see Al, couldn't he hear/see Sam for who he is, instead of as Tommie?
************
No. I based that on situations in two original episodes of Quantum Leap:
First, ?Shock Theater? - In "Shock Theater" several of the patients at Havenwell, including Thibidaux "Tibby" Johnson, could see Al. One specific scene is when Al is talking to Tibby then looks around at some other patients who are nearby and asks, "Can any of you guys see me?" At least one patient, maybe two, turned his head and smiled at Al and waved to him. Al then makes the comment, "Oh great! Animals, little kids, and now the mentally absent can see me." However, none of them, not even Tibby saw Sam as Sam. I think it?s a little later in that same scene, Al is about to go back and talk to Ziggy but before he leaves he turns to Tibby and says, ?Tibby, I want you to keep an eye on him?,? to which Tibby comes back in a sing-song sort of way, ?Her, her, her,? to which Al responds firmly, ?Him, him, him!?
Sherdran said:I took that to mean that anyone mentally disturbed-- and/or with strong psychological problems--would be able to see Al, especially when that individual is in a highly agitated state. And I beleive you would agree that Derek is most definite mentally disturbed.
Sherdran said:The other original QL episode is ?A Little Miracle? ? In that one, Sam leaps into the life of Reginald Pierson, Michael Blake?s personal valet. In the scene where the Salvation Army band is in the hall and Blake is ranting about them, Al (wearing a garish sort of Hawaiian shirt) makes some sort of comment about Blake and Blake looks right at him and demands to know who he is (or something like that). Of course, Al and Sam were startled by that revelation. Al had Ziggy rearrange the pattern of his brainwaves (?sort of like tuning a radio?), saying Ziggy said it was a weird sort of fluke that Blake?s brainwave patterns were similar to his. As in ?Shock Theater? for those few seconds, Blake saw only Al, not Sam.
Also, if you stop and think about it, Sam is ?wearing? his host?s aura. The aura acts as a sort of ?cloaking device? which ?except for animals and children under the age of 5 (like Theresa in ?Another Mother?)?allows only the host?s aura to be seen by anyone over the age of 5.
Sherdran said:I hope this explanation helps. BUT...there?s another little surprise twist coming in the last chapter (19 - before the Epilogue) which I?m currently working on.
