Anyone who watches and read the book? In case anyone hasn't read it, put book comparisons in spoiler tags.

I laughed so hard at the scene at the gun shop in the new episode that the neighbors may be wondering if something happened to me.

I wonder if he'll go back to the present after this to see the results, since the diner owner killed himself already instead of before his second trip.

I was wondering that myself. The ending of the second episode suggests he's not going back to the future.

So they changed some things along the way, and not always for the better, but without giving any details, that ending was perfect.

I have to agree about the ending.

Wow. In the book, Kennedy turned out just to be incompetent. In the show, he's the devil.

Wait, what? From what I understood, Wallace was the evil one, and Kennedy started the refugee camps to try to clean up Wallace's mess.

I was under the impression that the "Kennedy Camps" were basically death camps. Not defending Wallace, just saying it made Kennedy look terrible.

Incidentally, it always seems that in any alternate history story involving the 1960s, Wallace is always the bad guy. He was a bad guy, of course, but still...

He specifically called them refugee camps though, didn't he? I'm not saying they were well run, but he seemed to be at least trying to do the right thing. I wonder how Wallace's war started.

I may have missed that part, then. It was quiet during that part of the show and I had to turn up the sound to hear them.
