Chatting to Sue last night about things we were writing set me thinking.
In terms of Starbright Project time, Sam is still working on Quantum Leap being an observation of the past - this was his intention before it 'went a little ca-ca'.
So when the project was set up, this was what they anticipated - right?
In which case, how come in Star Crossed, Al tells Sam that it was one of Sam's rules that they should not profit/benefit (cant remember exact wording) personally from Leaping?
It doesn't really make sense that Sam would make a rule like this if he didn't expect to be able to interact and change the past.
What do you guys out there think?
Is this a continuity boo-boo on Don's part, or did Sam think all along that he would be changing history?
I am really surprised that I have never seen this point raised before.
There are so many smart people out there who have looked at Quantum Leap in great depth over the past ten years, I can't believe nobody else spotted it.
