I was just thinking about the different possibilities for the limits in time in which Sammy Jo will be able to travel. Since at this point it's unclear whether Sammy Jo will still have been born in 1967 or will have been born in 1980, this can affect how far she can leap back. However, remember how Sam was able to leap back to 1945 in "The Leap Back" because his neurons and mesons mixed with Al's?
Sam was able to leap further than his own lifetime because part of him was Al. Also, Sam was able to leap back to 1862 in "The Leap Between the States" because of his relation to his great-grandfather. Presumably this was because Sam's genetics were the same as his great-grandfather's. Theoretically, this means that maybe Sam could leap into any family member outside of his lifetime.
Since Sammy Jo will be related to Sam, do you think it's possible for her to leap as far back as 1953? Furthermore, would it then be possible for her or any leaper to have no limit as to how far back they can go if they leap into a relative? I think this idea could be applied to the new movie/series so that it can take place in the '50s and '60s (or earlier) like the original series did.
