This article contains spoilers for Quantum Leap episode 11.Quantum Leap has finally confirmed just how dangerous its time travel really is, because only a quirk of temporal mechanics meant Ben didn't die in episode 11. The premise of Quantum Leap is breathtakingly simple; a time travel "leaps" through history, inhabiting different lives, working to correct different tragedies in people's lives. The classic series starred Scott Bakula as Sam Beckett, and NBC's relaunch features Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song. Until Sam, Ben entered the Quantum Leap accelerator fully aware he was destined to become lost in time. He chose it, because he'd hatched a strange plan to somehow access the future and prevent the death of his fiancée, Addison.
