Yeah, that seemed to be the message. Seems like a pretty terrible message, but there it is.

Yep. It comes back to the issue of Jake not resetting at all ever. Why bring that up at the start only to do basically nothing with it?

That sounds even dumber than the TV version.

Oh, so not time travel, just pointless time-wasting. Glad I didn't read the book.

Yep, that guy was a wizard. Anything that didn't make sense was because of magic. This show was bad.

Which would have been a much better show!

Yeah, time "pushing back" was really not in evidence at all through most of the plot.

Yeah, when he came back to the past and started chasing her I literally said "Oh, so he hasn't learned anything then." You can't go running down the street in soaking wet clothes in the middle of a bright sunny day yelling at some woman who doesn't know you, that is what a crazy person would do.

That whole thing made no sense. How the gently caress did the Kennedys get an accurate report of what had happened when the police and FBI were still trying to figure it out?

Maybe there's some context in the book that makes this ending seem somehow satisfying, but based solely on its own merits it's garbage. This show was garbage. And that ending? Rather than finding out how this experience has affected our protagonist, we get to see that Sadie lived a life? Yeah, so? Who gives a poo poo? We knew she was a person who lived a life without Jake in the original timeline anyway, now it's just gone back to how it was before. Nothing loving happened. And like I said earlier, Jake learned nothing, and he hasn't changed in any noticeable way, he's just gone back to his old life as though none of it happened. What was the loving point?
