I love Rudy's expression at this bit, but then I find his face amusing pretty much all the time. Total convert, he's awesome.

It's not poorly done, it's just established that no-one gives a gently caress.

That was Galactica 1980. Totally different. (poo poo vs not poo poo)

More unfortunate is that Dr Who did a Hitler recently.

I much prefer the old galactica.

The countdown clocks I'm pretty sure were just counting down to times when Superhoodie intervened somehow, which Simon knew he had to do because he'd already seen it happen. Most of them were pretty vital as well (saving Curtis' life, throwing Nathan clear of the exploding car, giving himself the peanuts). And of course the big, central countdown clock was to his own death.

Yeah, but they were double countdown clocks.

Those could be for each event he has to do, with the final one his death

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.


If I'm not mistaken, each of those clocks represents a moment Future Simon had to intervene. Eight clocks, eight interventions.

Season 1, Episode 6: Rescues Nathan from the minions of the hypnotic lady.
Season 2, Episode 1: Throws the paper airplane at Kelly.
Season 2, Episode 1: Rescues Curtis from the shapeshifter.
Season 2, Episode 2: Pulls Nathan away from the exploding car.
Season 2, Episode 3: Rescues Alisha from the mugger.
Season 2, Episode 3: Rescues Alisha after she falls down the stairs.
Season 2, Episode 3: Delivers the peanuts to the gang.
Season 2, Episode 4: Takes the bullet for Alisha.

e: I have no idea how to refer to the minions of the hypnotic lady.

That was a ridiculously perfect opening 5 minutes. Dunno how they managed to go from the soul-wrenching melancholy of a guilt-ridden old man to "Fookin' Nazis" and it all felt so right, but they did it. Beautiful.

I'd like to thing their original powers, since they never met the Power Dealer...

Looks like No-powers. They didn't know who Seth was, people can touch Alisha safely. Was that Gary alive again at the start? Looks like they were inside during the storm this time around.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The writers probably don't, bless them.

Also Simons pathetic little Nazi arm salute thingy was hilarious.

I like how "Swatzi" has caught on, though I was thinking more for the Swat team, but don't mind me.

Terrible guards if they don't notice someone hanging themselves, through steel bars.

Sometimes in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.

Kind of a lot to wrap up in 10 mins. :/

Ultimately, this episode's been pretty rubbish so far. Nothing's really happened, the characters haven't developed any (because things will have to go back to normal) and the whole Nazi thing just feels like someone's drawn swastikas on everything and called it a day.

As far as "what if the Nazi's won the war" alternate time-lines go, it's pretty bland.

I get the feeling that unless it's a 2 parter, the old guy is just going to go back in time and stop himself and everything will whip back to normal.

I'm starting to think you're right. It's all a huge round about way for Simon to get time travel powers.
