- But Al *didn't* save the day in "The Leap Back". Sam had to leap in and save
- Al's and Suzanne's lives, so I wouldn't count it in with Al's saves. That's
- one of the reason's I liked "Killin' Time" so much, because it was Al's actions
- that really saved the day. Kind of a redemption, IMO.

- I'd count "The Leap Back II" because the decision for what Sam should have done
- was all Al's. We're never told what Sam was actually there to do, but if it
- was to save Tom, Sam would never have been able to do that without Al's help.
