sad but beautiful
Wonderful performances by Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Great plot. Loved it. Just one of the many reasons Quantum Leap should have lasted longer than it did.

Absolutely One of The BEST Quantum Leap Episodes Ever
This episode is extremely satisfying for anyone who is familiar with the series and especially the Sam-Al relationship. It is a definite tour-de-force for Scott Bakula's acting talents, as it is a rare time when he not only plays Sam Beckett but "becomes" those he has previously leapt into. I highly recommend this episode.

Quantum Leap at its best
This is by far one of the best Quantum Leap episodes there is. Sam loses touch with his reality due to a shock therapy treatment and "becomes" people that he has previously leaped into. This causes the project to almost lose contact with Sam for good. This episode has some great suspense as Al fights to make Sam realize who he is all the while fading in nd out as Ziggy fights to keep contact. The episode has a wonderful surprise ending as well, and its a great shame the companion episode hasn't been released on video as well. Anyway, this one is well worth a few bucks and will provide you hours of enjoyment as it is worth watching again and again and again.

Very pleased and want more
I was so pleased to watch this video again. My hope is that soon I can order the last show. It is very nice to see this and be able to remember so many more of the people Sam had helped.

One of my favorite episodes!
Shock theater is one of my favorite episodes. The acting is great and very touching and Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula give emotional performances. The episode keeps you on the edge of your seat and entertained. My only complaint is that other episodes are not on video, I wish they were.
