FUN FACTS:Donald P. Bellisario the creator of Quantum Leap met the real LEE HARVEY OSWALD when he was serving in the Marines as a Sgt. In the episode Lee Harvey Oswald. Bellisario had Matthew Charles Nelson played him as young Sgt. Bellisario as they reenacted him meeting Oswald. He made the episodes Lee Harvey Oswald part 1 and 2 to debunk the lies and myths perpetuated by Oliver Stone's movie JFK. Quantum Leap portrayal of Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of JFK is far more accurate then Oliver Stone's JFK movie. If you love sci-fi and history you'll love this episode. The first of the best two episodes of Quantum Leap.

This is the only Quantum Leap episode I absolutely hated. Keep in mind that I'm from Massachusetts, and someone who not only followed the history of the Kennedy family but a part of it. On four different occasions, I met Ted Kennedy, even worked on his presidential campaign and etc members of his family. In addition to that, I have been educating myself for years about the Kennedy assassination, and I know that Mr. Bellasario wrote this in answer to the movie JFK which has more facts than this one does.

The whole cartoonish picture of Lee Harvey Oswald is ridiculous and it is even likely that Oswald wasn't even in the Texas School Book Depository when the shots were fired.

But this is not about a history lesson or even rehashing that horrible day. This is just substandard writing and acting and direction for this series. It's best to pretend it never happened.

I felt that it was a waste of my time as it further backs up the Warren Commission's grim fairy tale of a lone assassin.

And the fact that Oswald was killed before the full truth could be told.says volumes here.
