RIP, Dean Stockwell.

Such an incredibly talented actor.

This whole story arc about Al being a Vietnam POW, his picture being taken by that photographer lady, etc. It was so good.

If this doesn't move you to tears, then you don't have a soul.

That's the first and only time i cried for a TV show , when i was young. 😅

Imagine a random show being this good these days

RIP Dean, he delivered so many great moments, so effortlessly.

when I hear Georgia on my mind, I always see this scene

This is THE BEST MOMENT in television history, hands down, no contest, period.  I was blown away by the writing for this episode on the night it orignially aired and I can say that watching it again tonight STILL gives me chills and a lump in my throat.  Now excuse me while I shed a tear.  Love you Quantum Leap :)

Dean deserved an Emmy for this!

Dean Stockwell is brilliant in this episode and this scene… it’s just a perfect scene. 😢

Dean stockwell was simply amazing in this, i just love his character

This episode surprised me so much. So damn heart breaking.

Greatest show ever. Filled with emotion. Lots of scenes that were just beyond any other show. Rest Easy Dean😔what a wonderful actor.

Cried when I saw this as a young child...and crying right now!! Powerful episode!!

oh this scene 💔 My husband leaped out earlier this year 2022 at age of 46 and I've just finished watching the series today with my son, in tears.  I watched Quantum Leap as a child though I didn't remember the episodes. My husband watched as a child too. We talked about it sometimes. I came here to re watch this scene, sobbing, really feel it on so many levels. Beautifully done.

"Al's alive ... and he's coming home..."

Constantly impressed by this scene. Al’s such an over the top character abs Stockwell performs him so well but this whole episode his misery is so understated. Its heartbreaking.

I just watched this episode on Netflix and I think it's absolutely one of the best Quantum Leap episode I've seen. I thought that before I even got to this part and this was just all the more intense. It was brilliantly done. The following 2 episodes where Sam goes to his family are also top notch.

This scene can teach you what true love is. You want to see what an amazing actor Dean Stockwell was, this scene is a must. Actually, if you want to learn how to act, this scene is a must. Dean Stockwell became Al and his heartache and need for his love is palpable. I had a tear in my eye when I was 18 and watched it on TV in the 90's. The same at 50 when I just watched it again now. RIP Dean Stockwell and thank you for the work you left us that will forever live on.

Rest in peace, Dean Stockwell. You did a lot of great work but I think this was some of your best. We'll miss you.
