Review of Lee Harvey Oswald - October 5, 1957 - November 22, 1963: Part 2

Quantum Leap was always an innovative show in my mind. But the episode about time travel back to Dallas in November 1963 just ended up toeing the "Party line." The big question is: did Oswald do it? The episode concludes that he did, and as soon as that was clear, the whole thing became more dirt-cheap propagation of establishment hooey, as if the CIA itself strong-armed the producers so they wouldn't stray too far from the Warren Commission's nonsensical version of the assassination. It could have been so much more interesting had the show's producers decided to at least leave some ambiguity in the plot. For those of us who believe Oswald was a patsy, this was a big let-down.
