[QUOTE="Salinger, post: 1438207, member: 16133"] I started watching this series a couple of months ago and I have to say, I've never had such a love/hate relationship with a TV show before. All in all, I'd say it was a great series...but of course it was also tainted with Globohomo bits, especially in season 3. My thoughts (spoilers ahead): - I went from liking Juliana in season 1 to hating her by season 4. - Seasons 1 & 2 were excellent. Season 3 was slightly boring and rife with faggotry. Season 4 was right up there with 1 & 2 but there was too much go-girl crap which turned me off at times. - Kido became one of my favorite characters by the end of the series, partly due to the show's creators expanding his character beyond his job duties. - John Smith was a boss. I could almost see the wheels of his brain turning when he looked out an open window, planning his next steps to keep ahead of others who meant to do him harm. - However...he should've known something was up when Helen didn't board the train with the kids. He was always one step ahead of his enemies...but never considered that his wife might do him wrong. - Other than smug Juliana, the other thing I hated about season 4 was the show's creators trying to make the audience root for a bunch of black commies. You can't help but compare them to Black Lives Matter...black, commies, don't trust whites, etc. That whole storyline felt like predictive programming of what's happening in our world today. I was bummed that they didn't have bombs dropped on them by the German Luftwaffe. - It took me all 4 seasons to finally accept the fact that the sci-fi element of the show was needed. At first, I was pissed that they didn't just make a show about alternate history. However, the parts with John Smith traveling back in time seemed to work very well.
