Lets hope that changes.
Meanwhile, John and Helen Smith are preparing for an important dinner with Fuhrer Heinrich Himmler.
The former meets with Smith about moving to New York, clearly threatening his position.
Sewells pause is glorious on You killed…me?
But what about Helen?
The Himmlers brought toys, chocolates, and their new Aryan favorite son for the dinner.
Himmler also speaks of smiling faces all around him but absolutely no one he can trust.
He doesnt want Johns loyalty; he wants his devotion.
The former is easy to fake; the latter could get you killed.
It turns out that the awesome cameo by Emmy nominee Stephen Root (isnt that fun to say?)
in the opening wasnt it for Hawthorne Abendsen this episode.
Again, the theme of having something to fight for returns, although it can sometimes be double-edged.
She wants him to stop.
They discuss how what happens in one universe can impact another.
What impact will the death of John Smith in one timeline have on this John Smith?
Well, its gonna turn him into a Nazi Stargate jumper, thats what!
No one will even notice.
Well, as long as he can keep the Seig Heils to a minimum.
Of course the Nazis would make a politically blatant sci-fi show.
In this context, its a bit odd.
Is Smith wondering if just going to our timeline will alter it?
Or are the writers just showing off their big brains?
Anyone else think Alexa Davalos is a bit weak this year?
It could have been tempting to completely invent brands, celebrities, etc.
in this universe, but the writers have stayed incredibly loyal to reality.
Most TV is too long.
Keep up the good fight.
