Dr. Sam Beckett: Look, I lost a brother in Vietnam, all right? So don't tell me I don't care!

Warning: Spoilers
Animal Frat is about Sam being leaped into the body of a fraternity leader, named Wild Thing.

At the beginning of the episode, Sam walks up to Wild Thing's room and two attractive girls crawl out of the bed covers, (may or may not have been twins) and Sam walks out and doesn't come back. Sam Beckett's a solid lead character, but he's so straight laced it does get a tad irritating at times, a sentiment frequently expressed by Al.

This leap's quite personal to Sam as he lost his brother in Vietnam, but I don't recall him ever saying something about himself to another character and then not trying to cover up what he said. Its gonna be a bit of a problem for Knut when he leaps back and Elisabeth finds out he didn't have a brother.

Sam knowing there was a second bomb and it not being questioned, was poorly written. Still despite its many flaws and the fact it's at a fraternity which seems like it would be hell, it's an engaging episode.
