** You could also infer from "Disco Inferno" and "The Leap Home" that much of Sam's disgust with TheSeventies probably stems from the fact that the decade didn't start off particularly happy for Sam, with Tom dying in 1970 in the original history. All the more fitting when he cuts loose on the dance floor in "Private Dancer" -- after he changes history and rescues Tom -- and allows himself to enjoy the decade for the first time.

* In "Temptation Eyes," Al angrily tries to talk Sam out of a romance with Tamlyn. He says that Sam can't take over Dylan's life and has to continue leaping in order to get home. But also think about it from Al's point of view -- he knows exactly what it's like to be forgotten by a beloved spouse who falls into the arms of a new lover, as that's what Beth did when she believed Al to be dead. Sam's two weeks in the leap must be ''agonizing'' for Al, who likely empathizes with Donna but is forced to withhold the truth about Sam's marriage, and [[TragicIntangibility can't really do anything else anyway]].

* In "Blood Moon," Sam has rescued Alexandra from dying at the hands of the Bathory cultists. He then sends her away for good since there's a real possibility that his leapee, Lord Nigel, could've been an accessory to her murder in the original timeline. It's all well and good that Sam saved her life (which Al confirms), but what's to stop Lord Nigel from finding another young woman and doing the same thing again? Especially given the reveal at the end that he's an ''actual'' vampire?

* At the end of "Trilogy," Al tells Sam that the curse was broken. One problem: the townspeople don't know that! All they can see is that [[RuleOfThree yet again]], an Aider dies when a Fuller woman is nearby; this time, it's a ChildProdigy born out of wedlock after her father left Abigail at the altar almost immediately after declaring his eternal love for her, which itself was minutes after he had inexplicable knowledge of where a missing boy was. The Fullers may have left town simply because Abigail realized people suspected Sammy Jo murdered Leta Aider.

* Sam's very first leap is into a military officer named Tom, who he has to save from dying. Given how the Bartender later says Sam controlled his own leaps, it could be that Sam was subconsciously trying to reach and rescue his brother Tom.
** Al's only leap is also into a military officer named Tom. While it's ambiguous if Sam's involvement in the simo-leap influenced this, in this particular case Captain Tom Jarrett was also a POW whose love interest was engaged to someone else, mirroring what happened to Al with Beth.

* While it's unknown if Ziggy in 1999 could determine Alia's and Zoey's real identities by running facial recognition off of Imaging Chamber data (which she could do [[Series/QuantumLeap2022 in 2022]] with "Leaper X"), PQL nonetheless would definitely have a chance to document a clear view of Alia's face when Alia's leapee with her aura makes it to PQL's Waiting Room following the dual leap.

* When Sam leaps into a pre-fame Music/ElvisPresley, Al mentions that Elvis is going to put on a mini-concert for the project staff back at the Waiting Room, "standing room only." However, Elvis ends up being the last leapee to ever visit the Waiting Room -- as Sam leaps as himself in the next leap, [[spoiler:then is lost in time and never returns, and (according to the sequel series) the Project is shuttered after that]] -- so Elvis' performance ends up serving a final send-off to the Project staff.

* Anyone else find it odd that a CunningLinguist like Sam didn't know sign language? "Seven modern languages and five dead ones", but not ASL? He also tells AL, "I've never been around a deaf person before". That is highly unlikely, especially considering that an MD is one of the many doctorates he has.
