I must say wow--after watching almost two full seasons of this show, this is the first time I've seen Jonathon openly questioning the Boss. This was a very powerful episode.

[@juneberry1982]

He did it in that one episode right before he tore off that guy's car engine (or bumper, I can't remember) hood. Then he had to report to God so Mark had to handle the assignment without Johnathan.

[@nolanboles8492]

@@juneberry1982 I think he did that without consulting God first. Note that when it was over he answered the Boss' summons back to heaven without question, because he knew he'd done the wrong thing.

[@Prieze868]

Is this Michael ends personal story aka Eugene Horowitz his father being Jewish apparently the Harriet Olsen and nels Olsen marriage was based on his parents marriage also

[@markcrew3696]

Throughout the episodes there are a few times where he looks up to heaven like he is praying to God like we all should do when we question things that God is doing but we come to God with a soft voice and a voice of love knowing that he is in control. There is nothing wrong with questioning God as long as it's done in love and in prayer. The episode where he tore the trunk off the car he was told in his heart specifically not to do that but he did his own will therefore he had to stand before God and be called up to heaven. But I always like it when Jonathan looks up to heaven and prays to God like we all do seeking help like a father even if it is a question or a prayer.

This episode hit me straight in a heart. Entire big family of my father was murdered while he was in a POW camp. I never had aunts, uncles, cousins or second set of grandparents. I also experienced the anti-antisemitism on my own skin in a communist country and with horror I watch it today in this country that ones was a great country of the free. History is repeating, how do we stop it? I can only imagine what Michael Landon felt working on this episode being a Jew himself. NEVER AGAIN. I am writing and crying, still trying to understand what makes people so hateful and cruel, probably never will.
