I don’t think it was a vision — it was an alternate reality (ours) like the one that some (but not all) of the films come from.

And Heydrich would only have been 58 years old in 1962, which surprised me a little.

Yes, my mind was blown too by the last couple of episodes!

I think Hitler is definitely the Man in the High Castle. I like your theory about Tagomi bringing the films from the alternate reality (ours) that he’s in at the end, except that he looks kind of surprised to be there, instead of like he’s been there before. And there would have to be multiple alternate realities,…

I thought the last three or four episodes (which I watched today) were great. I also liked the first two, but I agree that some of the ones in the middle were very, very slow.

Do you have any idea how much equipment the Americans sold to the Russians?

Everybody was not Christian. And people in and out of the Church ran rampant against those who weren’t, well before the 1200s.

Yes: people have said consoling things to me, but I’m not sure it helps very much.

That makes a lot of sense. My mother used to tell me the story of what happened when she was about 13, in 1936, when she was still going to a regular school in Berlin (before all the Jewish children were expelled from the public schools), and a Nazi party lecturer came to the class one day to lecture on racial purity…

I’m so sorry. I’ve had multiple major abdominal surgeries resulting in thick scarring down my front , so I’ve always thought I look like I have an ass stomach — a trench down the middle with the skin bulging on either side. I wish I could learn to be as self-accepting about it as you have about your back, but I try…

So out of more than 1000 commenters, you’re the only one who decided to be nasty and dismissive to others. It’s not a competition, you asshole.

You really think that out of all the threads in the world, this is the appropriate one to ask that question?

I’m so sorry. I can really relate. My father was accepting of me, but I will never forgive his wife (I refuse to think of her as my stepmother) for not inviting me, not long after my transition, to a dinner in my father’s honor at a Democratic club he had belonged to for many years, presumably because she was afraid I…

I’m so sorry. I hope you’re able to find out your birth name someday, and something about your birth family.

Reminds me of my story above:

In my lengthy experience, it can suck at the same time you know it’s saving your life. But when you look in the mirror and see your giant moon face and red cheeks, and a few of your meaner friends in school make fun of you every time they see you, you tend to forget about the benefits.

I dearly loved my mother, who was a beautiful woman, but the worst thing she ever said to me was to look at me with great disappointment when I was about 13, and say “you’re starting to look like your father.” I did not take it as a compliment, and I don’t think it was intended as such. It was right around that time…

Ireland wasn’t the only country where things like that happened. I’ve read about very similar abuses in Continental Europe and elsewhere.

You might want to know that there’s a school of thought (which I find rather persuasive) that the Book of Job — which is one part of what’s essentially an anthology of Jewish folktales, religious literature, poetry, historical chronicles, and many other kinds of thought, composed and/or written down, and repeatedly…

The official position of the Catholic Church fully accepts evolution, and has for many years. You must be thinking about fundamentalist Protestants.
