Hello Everybody,
Just wanted to introduce myself. The name's Emma but everybody just calls me 'Em' or occasionally 'Gizmo'...but the less said about that nickname the better!
I remember being obsessed with Quantum Leap when it was first shown and crying when the show ended and we were told Sam never leapt home. I still tear up whenever I try to tell anybody about that episode, which I hope doesn't make me sound too pathetic. I've loved watching the reruns on ITV3 and have bought all the DVD releases so far: the film quality may be a little outdated but it still ranks among the best TV shows ever in my opinion. I really hope this sequel they've announced gets off the ground; I know I'd watch it for one!
I have a huge favour to ask, and I know that if anybody would be able to help me with this it would be somebody on this message board. At the end of the Fifth Season Premier "Lee Harvey Oswald" Sam leaps into the body of Clint Hill before he jumps on the back of JFK's car in Dallas. The scene before he leaps shows Sam leaning against the wall in the hospital, which then morphs into a photograph being taken before he leaps. Now for years ever since we watched this episode my mother has gone on and on about this picture. She is sure she had a copy, or one similar, in a book she had on Kennedy back in the 60's, and has always been looking for it. I've tried to help her but I don't know where to start looking as I don't know if it was a real pose that they mimicked on the show or if it was just a poignant shot.
Does anybody know if such a photograph exists, or if not is there a screenshot of this scene that I can get a hold of? I managed to get serious Brownie Points when I located a copy of an old song she used to sing me and my sisters when we were little but which everyone thought she was making up, but they're starting to wear off now that my oldest sister has just given her another grandchild while I remain single and dedicated to my books, so I really need something to restore my position as "least disliked child".
I'm sorry to have waffled on at you, but I'm afraid that's the way I am. I've tried to shut it off but I can't seem to stop myself sometimes!
Anywho, this was just little old neurotic me introducing herself, and if anybody can help me out I would be so grateful.
TTFN
