Obergruppenfhrer Smith is an incredible character. Probably the most compelling character to me. Totally ruthless and must have some terrible skeletons in the closet. But then he switches to a caring family man and mentor. Two best scenes so far were the son's illness being revealed and then him interrogating Wegener.

I was hoping he was going to have to kill his kid before the season was over. That would have been a great scene but I fear they are going to use his kid being sick as the means to bring about smith's redemption

So is it aliens? Because Hitler loved his aliens. Just finished episode 10. Damn I want more!!!!!

And I really like the whole 60s vibe. And I guess hitler didn't get syphallis?

When they finally reveled hitler they absolutely nailed it. The castle, the buildup, the security at the compound, the over the top fancy set, everything about that scene was fantastic. They really upped the suspense level for the hitler reveal

Hitler knows about the plot... Was not clear to me why he would allow the would be assassin into the castle?

Another thought: I do not think the Japanese couple was just included as a source of money. First, the husband was obviously probing the salesman, looking for him to show he was not a bigot, which hinted to me that there is a Japanese faction (a long with the German s) who do not support all that is going on.

Further, the wife comments that the jewelry had...whatever the word is for special power. The trade minister also used a piece of jewelry made by the same guy to access the parallel universe.

Did you miss the part where Wegener was ordered to kill Hitler in like episode 8?

Yeah I too am confused by what she means by the "Hitler reveal". It was clear that Hitler is alive throughout the entire show.

I missed when Wehgner was ordered to kill hitler... When did that occur?

Heydrich had a sit down with Wegener after he was captured by Smith talking about how Hitler trusted Wegener and that would allow him to get close. Heydrich also knew that Wegener provided plans for an H-bomb to the Japanese. Heydrich then threatened Wegener's estranged wife and kids if he didn't kill Hitler. I forget which episode it was.

Great show - the cut backs between Wehgner and Heydrich in the cabin were intense. No idea where they're taking season 2 or where Joe's character is going.

She said it had "woo" (sp?), which they explained meant a deep connection with pain and suffering.

Interesting theory about Frank's jewelry....

Did you miss the part where Wergener was ordered to kill Hitler in like episode 8?
No, I didnt miss that. I dont remember them showing Hitler then, did they? I knew hitler was alive the whole time. Im talking about when they actually showed him on screen.

I probably shouldn't have used the word revealed, and instead said showed

Looking back. They showed that heart necklace about 20 times over the season. Maybe it has a bigger significance than we realize?

It seems clear the necklace is a dimensional transport device

It's Heydrich, goobers, after an actual former head of the SS.

I'm on the second episode, and while I like it, I keep having to remind myself to forget the book. Philip K **** was a great writer, but his stories do need an action injection when put on screen.

Finished it up tonight. I'm in awe, if not also a
little confused. I have no idea what to make of that ending.

I also agree with those of you praising the acting in this show (save the marshall). Obergruppenfuhrer Smith's character and the man playing him are absolutely perfect. Some of the best acting I've seen in a LONG time.

No worries just a pet peeve of mine, after I posted I thought it was an inside joke I missed because two different people used the same spelling.

Now, the final episode was great on so many levels. Smith w/ his wife and recognizing the glint, Hitler being shown as a man in a high castle, and chubby checkers 'twist'

What do you guys use to cast or watch on big screen? I use Chromecast for all streaming but Prime only works with tab casting and that usually stinks. Any other way to get it to big screen? I will likely get a ps4 for Christmas if that has it.


Binging it today via browser casting. No issues with quality or lag.

Maybe the trade minister is releasing the films? He can apparently go back and forth, so why not bring some footage back with him?
I'm pretty sure Tagomi's assistant, Kotomichi, is from the other timeline. When Juliana was late for work and tried to help him pick up some papers on the floor, we see some obvious burn marks on his arm. Tagomi and him had a conversation about where he was from in Japan: Nagasaki.

Wow. What a great show. Love the build-up with the films and the separate timeline reveal. Fringe was one of my favorite shows ever, so that was a cool final sequence.

Rufus Sewell and the guy playing Kido are freaking nails on this show.

3 eps in....that edelweiss.

That's like taking a childhood favorite then having the songwriter from the leftovers do the arrangement

Finished last night! Did we have any indication before the end with the trade minister that there were parallel universes? I guess that works for an explanation of the Joe kills Frank film.

So Rudolph Wegner did NOT plass plans for a nuke bomb to the Japanese science minister.
He passed plans for a Heisenberg device. I don't know exactly what that is but some gently google searches (didn't want to put spoilers in front of me before I was finished) led me to believe it might have something to do with dimensional shifting.

I think the "Heisenberg device" was definitely plans for the German nuke. Wegener/Tagomi were planning to start a Cold War.
I mean, Tagomi seemed to have no problem shifting dimensions without a device.
