I'll watch it tonight.  Thanks for the heads up.  Been busy with COD and Bones.  And now Disney +.  If you got Verizon unlimited data, you get it free for 1 year.

I thought that the season would be like 1 new episode released per week.  So I decided to start last night and to my surprises, all episodes were on Prime.  Didn't sleep till 3am.




***Spoiler Alert

Nice to see the evolution of firearms.  Seen MP5s and AK's.  And it would make sense no M16's due to Stoner not being around to invent it.

Just finished season 4 and then ending was disappointing.  Well more like it could have been done better.

Smith should have been able to teleport to the other world so he can be with his son.  Then the resistance blows up the portal.  Since Smith is MIA/KIA, the new Reich Marshall takes over and orders the bombers away.

In the alternate world, his son dies during training and he is left with his wife and now can't see his daughters because they're not in the alternate world.  So he is stuck in that alternate world.

Rewatching on Amazon.

Noticed some things.

1) A KGB agent in the 80's did an interview on how to change a countries thoughts from within.  Basically, get this done, and it will take a generation to fix because no matter how much facts/logic you present, they won't accept it.  See TDS, pro illegal aliens, etc.. examples. (this is a real interview). So, watching the show again, there are children who were born into the Nazi culture.  Then you have the adults who even fought in the war accept and even embrase it.  The creator of the show did a good job to show this.

2) There are only a few scenes with TV/comics. Juliana's mom is watching Sumo on TV.  I guess baseball didn't become popular yet, or will ever.  I mean, football or basketball could have been used, but it was sumo.  Another scene where Franks coworkers dad was reading manga.  No Superman comic book or Spiderman or Ziggy.

3) No 2A, especially in the Jap controlled territories.  Early on, Frank had to make a gun and find bullets for it.  Only Japs are allowed to buy bullets.  Read deeper into what is being shown and 1 thing a conquering country must do is to take weapons away, so the people cannot fight.

4) Zero rights like due process.

So, whether the creator intentionally did these or not, it does add to the show if you know what's up.
