Unspecified dates in Quantum Leap History: 2018 & 2051

The revival series (2022-2024) did not always supply a specific leap date. For the remainder of this year, we will feature each of the remaining leaps without exact dates.

"Judgement Day"

Ben's next Leap takes him closer to home than he ever expected. The team faces the ultimate showdown with Leaper X as they battle for the future of the Quantum Leap project and their lives.

If I had to pick a favorite episode of the series this would certainly be in my top five. In fact I almost typed this was my favorite before remembering all the others!

Biggest reason - so much happens in one episode! It could be argued this could have been a 2 parter. It’s to the episode’s advantage that things move so fast, wanting more. Lots of questions of certain temporal logic at play but better not to dwell on that too closely.

Seeing a Leaper go to the Future was huge. Something speculated since original series. I even remember it being discussed in interviews with cast and crew. I am glad it was not easy.

Seeing Ben and Martinez chasing each other through previous Leaps was epic. Seeing the origins of the new PQL. Including Magic references to meeting Al who was still alive.

But if I had to pick one thing in this episode - seeing hologram Addison observe her younger self on their first date with Ben! Caitlin Bassett is just incredible in this episode.

*if ever there was an episode that justified why they eliminated the Waiting Room in the revived Project it was this one. Can you imagine explaining that chase through time with a Waiting room?!
