    Neat idea, but Dr. Beckett could only travel to times that fall within his own living past.

      Except the time he went to the Wild West… so there were some quantum threads that could apply.

      I don’t know if he ever went into the future though.

        Wait are you talking about Scott Bakula or the reboot? I’ve never even considered watching a Quantum Leap episode without Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Being limited to traveling through the protagonist’s own timeline defined the show and was fundamental to Dr. Beckett’s character development.
