The Man In The High Castle
We've just finished watching all ten episodes that make up the first season.
It was very good, but omigod, the various threads of the story are amazing and complex. Some parts are hard to watch. There is lots of violence and scary tension.
I'm curious to hear if anyone has also seen all the episodes. And of course, what you think of them. There's no indication that there will be more episodes, but I'm pretty sure there will be.
Your thoughts?

Manny Goldstein is alive and well and posting on Facebook.
He can be found there.
That is all.

Are you hoping I will give up and stop expecting you to answer?
I'm not.
And I'm still angry and disgusted.
And I still expect an answer.
It has been almost a month since I posted.

The weekly average equatorial Pacific ocean sea surface temperature in was 3 degrees or greater (5.4 degrees F) above normal in the key region from 170 degrees west to 120 degrees west for the first time on record.
Tropical Pacific water temperatures are shockingly hot. Last week equatorial Pacific water temperatures averaged 3 degrees Celsius above normal for the first time ever in the key Niño 3.4 region. The previous weekly high Niño 3.4 value of 2.8 degrees was tied last week with Nov. 28, 1997. The Niño 3.4 region, used to measure the strength of an El Niño ranges from 170W to 120W from 5 degrees north to 5 degrees south of the equator. If temperatures continue to rise, or plateau for a few more weeks, this will be the strongest El Niño in history.

A story about El Nino, from Daily Kos:

Gate A-4 By Naomi Shihab Nye, on a Blog by David Kanigan.
Wandering around the Albuquerque Airport Terminal, after learning my flight had been delayed four hours, I heard an announcement: “If anyone in the vicinity of Gate A-4 understands any Arabic, please come to the gate immediately.” Well— one pauses these days. Gate A-4 was my own gate. I went there.The whole story at the link:
