      I can’t get over how Scott Bakula starred in two shows involving time travel and both had infamously bad finales.

        Fun fact: In one episode, they talk about how a leap has to be completed in a certain amount of time in order to guarantee the ability to leap home. They say that the amount of time that each leap must be completed within falls by a certain percentage each time. I did the calculation once. Sam was still within the threshold even after all the many seasons. He should have leaped home.

        And it would have been to the alt-timeline where Al and Ziggy were replaced by St.John and Alpha, the one which showed up when Sam previously leapt into Al and temporarily changed history.

        All the pieces were there.

        (If this feels familiar, I have posted this online before.)

          I mean, the rules kept changing, because the big idea behind it all was that it was being consciously controlled by God. And a little by Sam.

          But, really, the biggest point is that the finale wasn’t intended to be the finale. They thought they had another series, but then got cancelled.

      les moonves pretty much ruined the franchise, he did the last episode that way because he wanted a “fuck you statement” to the viewers, i believe frakes did not like the episode as well.

          people hated him for how he ended trek, it made sense, just taking his anger out on franchise, likely due to him being accused of SA(as a vendetta against cbs)
