Quantum Leap: Trilogy: Part 3 - July 28, 1978 (1992)
Trilogy - An Interesting Idea Done Wrong
*Spoilers*
The Trilogy idea was interesting to start. The first episode starts off with a bit of an eerie mystery surrounding a young girl, Sam's 'daughter'. Did she kill another woman's daughter and later, the woman's husband?
Sadly, the first episode ends with Sam leaping out, causing the death of the girl's father. He then leaps back into her life years later as her lover, which is...uncomfortable. After knowing her at this later stage in her life for about half a day, Sam becomes obsessed with the girl (again, who was his daughter just a few hours earlier) and confesses he can't think of anything else but being with her.
Trilogy picks up steam as it runs downhill and off a cliff in the third part. Here, Sam jumps into the girl's life a third time as an old lawyer who protected her earlier. We get a ridiculous court room melodrama with 'surprises' we guessed at in the first few minutes and unexplained/unexplored witchcraft/magic. Finally, we find out Sam is somehow the actual genetic father of his former love interest's daughter. It's all so cringeworthy. Six stars feel extremely generous.

The one episode I absolutely detest
Hated this episode when the show first aired and in reruns. Watching it 20 years later, I still hate everything about it. The actors all do their best but there's nothing here that's salvageable. Yeech.
