I liked this a lot.

[cofax7]

Oh, that was very nicely done.

[sholio]

Oh, I loved this! Excellent editing, and I really love the way you contrasted Sam's own time with Sam in the past (I don't think I've seen a QL vid that did that before, and I always used to love the glimpses of the future that Sam came from).

[littleheaven]

OMG OMG OMG. I am in tears. First of all, I am so touched that someone has gifted me such a beautiful vid. Oh, Sam. *huge sigh* I just loved this. The editing, the emotion, and that you finally got Sam home. Gah.

Also, extra shiny points for all the shirtless shots. *\O/*

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[revolutionaryjo]

Aww, you're making me remember how much I loved this show. Well done!

[rthstewart]

Beautifully evocative of Sam's long journey and wonderful, amazing editing.

[arduinna]

Oh, I loved this -- the progression, the emotion, the storytelling, all of it. So many good choices here, like mirroring some of those early shots (the plane, the baseball game, the trapeze) at the end with the followup shots; and mirroring Sam showing whoisie the sky with Al showing Donna the sky, and "give my wife my love, then nothing more" and everyone sad or crying -- gorgeous!

And wow, the spinning plane intercut with the electroshock, meep. I love how that leads in to the out-of-control middle section, and then Sam starts regaining control and we pull out of it with a shot of the plane leveling off and flying smoothly -- so damn good.

And then the warmth and joy of the end. *happy sigh*

The more I watch this, the more I love it, and I started out loving it a lot. Really lovely job. ♥

(Okay, one more specific clip comment because I can't resist: "floating weightless", with Sam dancing? Beautiful.)

[sophinisba]

I really enjoyed this. :)

[eowyn_for_adam]

Wow - I'd forgotten how much I used to love this show!
Thanks for reminding me... beautiful vid!

[jackiekjono]

Wow!

Okay. That one made me cry and I didn't even really like Quantum Leap.

[juniperphoenix]

QL is the show of my heart, and you really get it. I loved this.

[ladysorka]

Oh, this song choice is perfect and this was just fantastically done. I especially like the way you used the plane. I really loved this.

[stabbim]

I rewatch this show every few years. Thanks for creating a vid! Brings back so many great memories. :)

[swordznsorcery]

This is fantastic. The editing is incredible, and there's a really good collection of clips. And I'm going to have to dig out the DVDs now!

[litotease]

Oh, my heart! Everybody was there, and the longing and the love, and the gorgeous, gorgeous clip selection and timing, and... ::is teary::

[(Anonymous)]

I love the changes you made! It actually became a more serious vid, despite the fact that I think you have MORE rainbow boxes at the beginning? :D

Anyway, the majesty of the show really comes through, and it's a beautiful vid!

- a beta :)

[actiaslunaris]

The sequence from 2:50 to 3:10 left me breathless. Such wonderful cuts.

[lunabee34]

I enjoyed watching this a lot!

Coming Home

[yourlibrarian]

Great musical choice for the series and wonderfully edited.

[gorgeousnerd]

I watched this show with my mom when I was a kid, so I watched the vid with her, and she enjoyed it just as much as I did. :D

[archersangel]

i like the fix at the end.

*uses her only QL icon*

[china_shop]

Oh, this is epic and wonderful! I don't know the source, but I can really feel your love for it. (Also, I love the home plate being one of the homes he's coming to. <333)

[echan]

Aww, this had so many cute moments. The 'string' analogy was a neat way to open, the slow build at the two minute mark was very nice, and the "coming home" baseball clip was just adorable.

[colls]

This is incredibly awesome - the song choice, the editing, the progression of scenes.... guh. Just perfect!

[astridv]

That's a great song choice. Love it!

[sam80853]

One of the best shows ever. A pity that Sam never really returnt home:(

[laurashapiro]

This is TREMENDOUS. What an epic homage to the show. Brilliant.
