In "Roads Taken", it was revealed that Maggie's father's name is Thomas Beckett.

In "The Leap Home", it is revealed that Sam's older brother's name is Thomas Beckett.

Both Thomases were in the military and if Maggie is in her late 20s, it is feasable she could be his daughter.

Just something to consider.

Maggie and Sam...

I find it more believable to think that Maggie is the sister Sam never had, or Sam the brother Maggie never had.
By the way, it seems interesting that several of my favourite shows ended with endings that may seem inconclusive, but are actually quite final.
Quantum Leap ends with Sam discovering that leaping is controlled by his willpower; when he decides he tired of "...setting right what once went wrong," he'll leap home.
Eerie Indiana ends with a book, explaining that fragments of a meteorite called eerium causes weirdness, and it's radiation turned Dash X's hair gray.
Nowhere Man ends with Tom finding out he was never actually Tom Veil, and so he gives up his quest and lives out the rest of his life on his photography experience.

By jove! The lad is on to something!

That's a little too scary, don't you think? who thinks the writers wrote this little bit in for all the QL fans who are Sliders fans (maybe make all the Maggie-haters like her becasue she's related to Sam. HMMMMMMMMMMMMM . . . ).

I think

that some of the writters worked on both shows which would explain this similarity. Personally I think that since both shows are (I think)owned by Sci-Fi the writters might have thought of a plot twist possibility.
