He had lost his spirit and tried to find it by helping strangers. Whilst this gave him some short-term happiness, his overall feeling of melancholy with the world dominated him.<br/><br/>It was only when Sam Beckett leapt in to the body of this dog ('Oh boy') and was motivated by the holographic image of Al that the Littlest Hobo's life finally started turning around. No more was he to be contented with helping out random passers-by, bumping from one encounter to the next like a crack addict surviving from hit to hit. Sam found him a family in constant need of canine attention, a family so inept that they couldn't tie their shoelaces without some puppy intervention.<br/><br/>The Littlest Hobo grew his hair, moved in with this family, and was given a proper name at last. Lassie found his home. YOU SEE, SAM CHANGED THE LIFE OF A NO-NAME ENTITY AND CHANGED HISTORY FOR THE BETTER BY ALLOWING THE ENTITY HE JUMPED IN TO FULFIL THEIR DESTINY. Ergo, it's a proper episode of Quantum Leap. The Littlest Hobo was wandering around, without a home, for many years. He had lost his spirit and tried to find it by helping strangers.

Ah, interesting stuff.

I’m one of these crusty walking-stick waving pre-NGE veterans, so am fascinated to see what someone without all that baggage thinks of it all.

I’m not one of these ‘NGE hurt me, and must be punished FOREVER!’ types, but I think I’d miss the old game, and be confused by the new, so have moved on really.

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with with though!
