11.22.63 On Hulu 2.15.16 (President's Day)

You would think Jake would know better than to get into complicated relationships in the past. Ask Marty McFly.

Least favorite episode. The hunt for the truth was tedious. Find out whether he shoots at General Walker and move on. The vague tapes and the vaguer eavesdropped conversations hopefully bear more fruit.

The cat house scene was....I'm not sure what it was.

At least the ending will have Jake probably giving an unbelievable explanation for the recording(s).

I am obsessed with both JFK and time travel so its as if Hulu made this expressly to get me to sign up. And it just may work...I'm staying strong though for now...LOL

It's good but not great (IMO). I'm halfway through episode seven. The eighth and last one airs Monday. I might knock it up to a B+ if there's a satisfying ending.

Speaking of time travel Jaybee, I read an article the other day that says one thing movies and shows don't usually take into account is just how different speech is between eras. Someone from a long, long time ago, say 1840, wouldn't be able to understand the English someone from 2016 speaks.

And no i'm not really speaking about slang like "phat" or such, I'm speaking more about accents and pronounciation (sp??)...

Even from now to the the 1963 era it may be a bit revealing when someone speaks to someone from that time era.

I was stationed on an RAF base (Chicksands in the UK) some years ago, and had some communication problems with locals, but we still spoke English so it wasn't too bad. But if you're talking about another era like the 1800's you might need a translator.

I loved this series, one of the most satisfying watches I've had ever. However, was a bit let down by the ending as they didn't show more of what the alternate future was like. I'll leave it there not to spoil anything.
