[i]Quantum Leap[/i]’s last episode was when Sam jumped into himself on his true birthday. He was in a bar outside of Pittsburgh where he met G-d(?). This guy explained to Sam that Sam controls his leaping and not him. He suggeted to Sam that he leap home and take a break before he undertakes some more leaps. Indicating that
the leaps will get much harder. Sam declines and continues leaping. He never returns home, instead righting what once went wrong for the rest of his days. The last leap we saw of him was him leaping into himself, and this time telling Al’s first wife that Al is in a POW camp and to wait for him to return. Al and his orginal wife lived happily ever ater. It ended on a downer only because everyone expected him to leap home.
In the pilot/movie [i]Quantum Leap: Genesis[/i] a mysterious force caused Sam to leap before he was scheduled to, and he gets lost in the time stream and loses his memory. Al saw it, it was a light that appeared over the facility, looking like sheet lightning. In the final episode, [i]Mirror Image[/i], Sam meets a representitive of this force, occupying a human body like him. We’re never told exactly what this force is, but I’ve always figured it was aliens. That’s the most likely possibility from what we’re shown in [i]Genesis[/i], [i]Star Light, Star Bright[/i], and [i]Mirror Image[/i].

I never managed to see the fianle of Sliders, but from what I’ve read it wasn’t a real ending. During filming they weren’t sure if there was going to be a sixth season so they made an “either way” episode. The sliders went to a planet where there was a guys who viewed all their slides and made a hit tv show out of it. There was much celebration when the sliders arrived on that world, obviously. The voyer guy warned the sliders that if they jumped again that they would perish. I don’t know how it ends though. I assume they jumped.
In the final episode of [i]Sliders[/i], [i]The Seer[/i], the sliders are prevented from sliding into the world that would cause their death by a piece of Kromagg equipment. Everyone is trapped on that world, except Rembrandt, who slides to his home (infested with Kromaggs, of course) alone. There is a [i]Sliders[/i] movie in production.
Back on the [i]X-Files[/i] topic, the show’s really been going downhill since the first season. They could never top that pilot episode. It had stagnated by the time they introduced a new story arc (Mulder’s disappearance), which revived it somewhat, like the movie had before. But now it’s suddenly plummeted to a new low.
