And Anderson specifically mentioned the neck seal and showed the scars in between beating Holden up.

It was to show how macho he was. It was good that they showed him exhaling rather than holding his breath, which would have been dangerous from the pressure differential.
It was startling but quite possible when you think about it.

" Lionel Polaski, but it’s a code name; could be anybody."
We know exactly who he is: the guy in the bar with the camera in his eye recording the the Rocinante crew.

This isn't the first TV show to feature Hitler by a wide mark.
Doctor Who "Let's Kill Hitler", 2011.

The Nazis had A bombs, used them against the US, and apparently so did Japan. The device is the H bomb, a 1000 times more powerful.

What? We saw the diagrams of fusion reactions when Wegener was looking at the microfilm. And the Japanese general was looking for uranium, needed for any kind of bomb.

Probably they were braziers, maybe burning gas, for ceremonial occasions, like the Olympic flame.

The Heisenberg device is a H Bomb — are you taking the piss with these suggestions of invisibility? When Wegener was looking at the microfilm a few episodes before we saw diagrams of nuclear fusion reactions. And the Japanese general was there to survey for uranium — H Bombs use fission (for which you need uranium) to…

Pretty sure he's American born. Heydrich teases him about his ability to speak German. And "Smith" isn't a German name, I think. That would be Schmidt.

The show is set in the 1960s. And I don't think Smith's son has polio, that's caused by a virus and the doctor said his condition was congenital, and of course Smith's brother also had it.

Yes, especially the kid, who Smith referred to specifically. And if Joe has any other relatives, obviously they are effectively hostages as well.

But he tells Frank how much he despises them, and that seems his real feelings.

Smith also made sure his aide at the office saw the title on the folder and that he knew he was taking it home. He didn't know who was a mole, he wanted to see who would go for it.

Definitely, since 11 November is Armistice Day, commemorating the defeat of Germany in WWI. Pretty sure that would not be on the calendar in ReichWorld.

As a Terminator sent back to accumulate a ton of gold to build a super weapon.

Well, at least he's only a computer genius. Unlike say Felicity on Arrow who does that, as well as chemical and DNA analysis, or anything at all vaguely technical or scientific.

Just pricking her with a pin would prove it immediately.

They crossed a quarter of the galaxy? Where was that stated?
They didn't survey 1/4 of the galaxy's 400,000,000,000 stars.

Well, he must get a few million each season from HBO, and his book sales are through the roof since the show aired.

The whole planet shouldn't have been a wasteland. Maybe the big cites would still be dead, still radioactive, but much of the planet should have recovered a few thousand years after even the worst nuclear war.
There were only 50,000 people. All they need is a small island and they could have had a home. They could…
