I heard someone mention the (alternate) “Saga Sell.” What is that?
Merely a fancy term for the opening monolgue of the show. There is a slightly tweaked version of the one that ran with the bulk of the series. It goes as follows: Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project known as “Quantum Leap.” Pressured to prove his theories or loose funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped into the project accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own time was maintained through brainwave transmissions with Al, the project observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Dr. Beckett can see and hear. Trapped in the past, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home…
