"Quantum Leap"...what episode where Sam was a soldier and he sang "Imagine"?
It was one of my most favorite episodes ever of any tv show. I think he was a soldier or was going into Vietnam and sang John Lennon's "Imagine" to a little girl I believe and she wailed because she couldn't believe how he could come up with such amazing lyrics...is how I think it went.
I haven't seen it since and just want to know what episode and the season so I can look out for it on DVD. I would give anything just to have that episode!!!
Thanks for any help.

"The Leap Home: Parts I and II," (1990) a two-parter that dealt with Sam's brother, Tom, going to Vietnam.
In the first ep he leaped into himself as a teenager, right before his brother was about to be shipped off to Vietnam, where he would die. Sam sang "Imagine" to his little sister on their front porch.
In the next ep sam leaped into a member of his brother's SEAL team in Vietnam. I won't say any more - because I don't want to ruin it - but those two eps were probably the best of the series.

Just to confirm, it's season 3 (and 1990). The series was a mid-season replacement, so the first season is the first half of 1989, then 1989-1990, then 1990-1991, etc.

That was one of my favorite episodes as well. The ending of the 2nd part was amazingly sad.

just keep track of sci-fi they show these two a lot when they do the QL marathons. or wait a few weeks until the 2AM weekday run of QL gets up to that point. I think they're still in season 1

"the Leap home" and "MIA" are probably the best of an awesome series. I'm buying all the dvds - and I even skipped Star Trek TNG, which was tough for me.

BTW, loved D-Day as the 'bartender' in that ep......
