It lists the episode both by order in the season it aired and in chronological order.<br />Netflix definitely is not showing them in order. Because the shows can be edited and spliced, it is easy to change the upcoming episode.<br />In the 1989 Season, these were the following episodes:<br />Genesis<br />Double Identity<br />The Right Hand of God<br />Star Crossed<br />How the Tess Was Won<br />Play it Again, Seymour<br />Color of Truth<br />Camikazi Kid<br />Season 1989/90<br />Disco Inferno<br />Blind Faith<br />The Americanization of Machiko<br />Jimmy<br />Good Morning, Peoria<br />Thou Shalt Not<br />So Help Me God<br />Honeymoon Express<br />MIA<br />Catching a Falling Star<br />What Price Gloria?<br />A Portrait of Troian<br />Another Mother<br />Her Charm<br />Animal Frat<br />All-Americans<br />Leaping in Without a Net<br />Pool Hall Blues<br />Freedom<br />Good Night, Dear Heart<br />Maybe Baby<br />Sea Bride<br />Season 1990/91<br />Leap Home, Part 1<br />Vietnam, The Leap Home, Part 2<br />Black and White on Fire<br />Glitter Rock<br />Runaway<br />Miss Deep South<br />Rebel Without a Clue<br />Leap of Faith<br />One Strobe Over the Line<br />The Boogieman<br />The Great Spontini<br />A Little Miracle<br />Private Dancer<br />Future Boy<br />Piano Man<br />Billy Jean<br />Southern Comforts<br />Last Dance Before an Execution<br />A Hunting We Will Go<br />Heart of a Champion<br />Nuclear Family<br />Shock Theater<br /><br />The book stops here.

I noticed that too where it appeared at the end of the previous one -- I'm not sure why that happened, but one possible explanation is that until very recently the first few episodes of Season 2 up until 'Gloria' were not available on Netflix so maybe they snuck it in there due to some rights issues.Nicholas Sweedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437092592253460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-68584694111806836942016-08-06T14:14:12.535-05:002016-08-06T14:14:12.535-05:00I must have missed something because I am confused...I must have missed something because I am confused. The end of "Play It Again, Seymour" has Sam leaping into a woman in a bubble bath. <br />Did the episodes get out of sequence?<br />This is definitely one of my favorites...I am not going to rank them because I have too many favorites. This one jumped way to the top because of the ending. I really like surprised ending and this one was the best. It is too bad that Admiral Al can't tell Diane about Sam Beckett.<br />Comments: <br />1: The Honeymoon Express leaving NYC for Niagara Falls is a New York Central engine. This is one that Nick's dad has every years on his Christmas train platform. <br />2: The U2 incident in 1962 was the main theme in the Tom Hanks' movie "Bridge of Spies." Great movie. I remember as a child, asking my parents to explain what was happening. In the movie, the children are seen doing a 'duck and cover' exercise in school...just in case there was a nuclear attack. I remember doing that...I really don't understand what good it would have done.<br />3:The cat in the opening "gambit," resembles my cat, Rudy.<br />4:My favorite line is "When you swim with the sharks, you get bit."<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342174424018623586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-36918204141497244442016-06-04T13:24:03.878-05:002016-06-04T13:24:03.878-05:00Yeah, the introductory voiceovers come later (not ...Yeah, the introductory voiceovers come later (not sure exactly when) -- and the voice is writer/producer Deborah Pratt.Nicholas Sweedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437092592253460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-32520643862426976242016-06-04T10:32:44.445-05:002016-06-04T10:32:44.445-05:00This was a decent episode for the season premiere,...This was a decent episode for the season premiere, complete with a quasi-opening gambit of Sam rescuing the cat before morphing into 1960, giving some credence to the grumpy Senate committee chairperson's claim that Sam wasn't changing history for the better in any major way but merely helping a few individuals with personal problems. I noticed the last episode from Season 1 used the opening credits in the clouds that I remembered from the show rather than the black background of the original episodes, but I also remember an opening narration by a female voice describing the premise of the show that came before the theme song. Perhaps that introductory voiceovers don't come until later seasons.<br /><br />Anyway, I was a little sleepy throughout this episode so I fear that I may have missed some stuff in the middle but I usually like the atmosphere of these "From Russia with Love" ripoffs, and pretty much every series of the 80s had their own train-bound mystery/action episode derivative of FRWL. I haven't seen enough of the series to know for sure but it seemed to me that Sam's reluctance to romance Diane was more the exception than the rule, and I agree his reticence towards her seemed a little odd considering how hard he fell for Tess and Allison in the previous few episodes. I also agree that the ending action sequence wasn't perfect but felt it was a good fit for the episode and would have liked to have seen more action scenes on "Quantum Leap" generally. The ending was this series' shining narrative moment thus far though and I didn't see it coming, but they had all the elements in place to make it work with perfect timing and great acting by Dean Stockwell when the Senate committee chair switched in mid-sentence. I guess I'd rank this episode #3 so far as there were some moments in the middle that plodded even though I liked the beginning and ending.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-37719848393796221412016-05-30T23:57:25.450-05:002016-05-30T23:57:25.450-05:00This is the one you were alluding to in a previous...This is the one you were alluding to in a previous post where she's kissing him when he leaps in and it's used in the credits.
