Alternate ending: Rather than committing suicide, John Smith escapes to the rift on foot and arrives as it is turning on. A bright light appears and the first person he sees, is his son Thomas, dressed in a US Marines uniform, prepared to apprehend his alternate timeline father. The end sequences shows The US on the Ally Victory timeline has been researching the rift and after becoming privy to the alternate timeline Nazi's sabotaging their nuclear program. They set up a faux war in vietnam to cover for what is truly a fight with the Nazi's in the Axis timeline. After many years of fighting, the Ally's win, close the rift and the "Vietnam War" ends in what appears to be a stalemate, but the soldiers who fought know that they actually defeated the Nazi's again and it is why they never speak of their war time. It ends with an aged Thomas Smith telling his "stories" to his grandchildren as they laugh on a holiday, as they scatter his sister Jennifer smiles from across the room because she knows the truth.

[@ManofRecaps]

Yo I love this ha good job

[@Arti09HS]

Side Note: I interpreted the ending the same way you did, essentially "i guess people can live in whatever universe they feel is best for them now or something? yay" But if you really think about it... this universe was one completely controlled by Nazi's/axis powers up until 5 minutes before these people walked through the gateway... so essentially it turns out that the portal is just a beacon for people who wanted to be Nazi's, but couldnt in their own world. Long story short... The portal is now a beacon for all Nazi's in the universe and the good guys lose >.>

[@llenny_uwu1398]

Nice theory dude, that would also explain why the vietnam war lasted longer than it did, because it took time to beat the nazis all the way back to the germany, not to mention that they also needed to rebuild america as a state.

They should have added five more post-coup episodes if they wanted to end it. The ending was most definitely rushed.

[@voteZDLR]

I thought for sure he was gonna be a good guy by the end. Everything they did leading up to that was setting up for that ending. And frankly I think it's defensible, he got a chance to see what it could've been like via the portal and it did nothing but confuse him because at heart he's still the same man no matter which side of the portal he's on. You know who he reminds me of a lot? The guy in my avatar picture. The same guy who said he did everything for his family, but that's not at all why he truly did it, as we come to find out as the show progresses. And there is no good ending for a man who did all the evil things John did.

[@FRDOMFGTHR]

He should’ve let frank go and kido should’ve died instead of tagomi

[@Yeshalot]

Tagomi gone because the actor didn't sign on for another season so the plans they probably had for him likely changed the whole story. or at least the season or first half of the season. Eds character as well due to having another role on another show was just gone completely. his best friend well basically his brother was killed off and he just drops a banner and peaces off to the neutral zone happily ever after, after he went on about that shit of "finally feeling what freedom is" and then just vanishes. Johns Daughters while one is brainwashed and the other isn't now have to deal with the fact that their father and mother died due to Rebels. how do they deal with that? Robert sells his shop then just fucks off no where to be seen, we can only guess if the Yakuza held their end of the bargain and let him board or fucked him over. and if he did board the ship to japan we have to guess/assume he dicked around for a bit until he found his wife. and then the portal people/portal being left up has no explanation just gotta hope whatever the fuck juliana said was enough..... just ugh i'm so sad i watched the final season. After Franks death is where the show took a hard nose dive.

I got worried when the alternate/multiple universe thing was first showing up in the show… I was stoked for just an alternate history, a total hypothetical about how that would go, and I think ever since then my viewing of it got colored by that bias looking back, so I kinda always wondered if I didn’t give it a fair shake. But, had a couple friends watch later and they would agree 100% with these types of comments I would see online haha. Recently I watched “for all mankind”, not the best show, too slow at times BUT, it’s just straight up alternate history of the space race, and I really like that part, the world building and thought put into how events would unfold differently over time

A) it's purely a matter of opinion, "the point" isn't some singular lesson or revelation; B) the universe the show begins in had richness, depth, and intrigue on face value - before and exclusive to the time traveling narratives. The literal/initial setting and plot lines were ultimately undeveloped in many areas, so expanding upon them would've added much to the show. They could have stuck to a single timeline and presented an entertaining show in an entirely different way, but you managed to see it only for what happened to be placed in front of you. Yay you.

When you’re such a badass no one can kill you but yourself Edit: I don’t think John was made Führer of America. More likely he kept the office of Reichsmarchall while taking Himmler’s position of head of the SS (Reichsführer die SS). They most likely call him Reichsführer since it is the higher office. This can also be seen on the seal behind his desk when he makes the speech in the last episode which is that of the Reichsmarchall

They just left so many loose ends. Johns daughters being one of the main ones. how are the sisters going to go on now that they are orphaned? ones been brainwashed and one hasn't. how is the fallout after that? finding out their parents both died due to the rebels. will one sister dig into her beliefs for the reich? will the other be sad but happy she is free? will they grow apart? will they come together? just pure filth this ending is. Ed having no appearance in the entire last season as well was super shitty. Not being able to truly flesh out how he feels and deals with Franks death was annoying. his best friend/basically his brother of MANY YEARS was taken off and killed......this time for good and he goes off to live happily ever after, dude decides to drop a banner and peace out???? after all that stuff of finally feeling what "true freedom is" And Robert was never seen getting on the boat to japan despite giving the Yakuza his shop for it. he basically disappears after that point, so we can only assume or guess the yakuza honored their part of the deal and let him board and he fucked around in japan for some time until he found his wife. I guess the actors for Ed and Tagomi took another job or didn't sign on for this season, which honestly is probably a huge part of the reason for why this show felt rushed towards the end...the potential story and plans they probably had written for these characters were not allowed to be fleshed out. I know amazon most likely didn't want to wait and they clearly didn't wait for the 2 actors to be available to film the season instead they just wrote them out and made it so "ones in the neutral zone living happily ever after" and "one got killed.

[@argonyuanlagansua1210]

I am completely shocked and disappointed when Tagomi died. He was my favorite character in the series

[@howardbabcom]

After the importance of the movies in this show, I think it would have been better at the end for the portal to have opened and 'played' various/numerous alternatives, or for Juliana to have returned to a vision with Tagomi where some deep philosophical point is expressed in line with the metaphysics of the tale. One thing that was sorely missing from the entire concept - space travel. The Nazis had rockets from the late 30s and Von Braun already had a scaled-down version of the Saturn V (which was actually tested), so if they had achieved supersonic flight and atomic tech, what would they have put into space by the mid 60s? Could have added another layer to the culture, but they certainly created a very sinister 'what if' scenario for most of the show.

Wyatt is ok but Juliana is so boring. it’s Rome all over again. I’m pretty sure a lot of American presidents wanted to do that to Hoover. This scene was so good and then the next episode just derailed everything... I think, we can all agree, that this episode should be the real final episode. They divided the empire; The end of this season was such a shame. A real disappointment for an otherwise very good season. It really felt rushed towards the end. And here’s the thing... Smith was kinda the show's main character. Season 1 he was the antagonist. Season 2 and 3 he had become an antihero and by season 4 Juliana's arc had been so far relegated to the side, that Smith and Helen were constantly centre stage with the Japanese plot being the next most interesting. The show went out of its way to make clear that John was never a die-hard Nazi. Every deed and decision he’d ever made he’d done for his family. The tragedy of his character was supposed to be that he could only go upwards onto ever more shaky ground, or come crashing down with his wife and kids' fates in the balance. To all of a sudden take a 180 with his character feels so cheap and forced to me. Why is he going full steam ahead with plans for Holocaust.3.0 when he and his family are safe? Because he “didn’t know how” to stop it? Really!? But his mate, Bill, could turn the planes around with a single order and publicly throw away his badge? Not to mention that’s terribly unrealistic for a nation where significant portion of the population are extremely indoctrinated and at least half the top military staff in the American Reich are still die-hard Nazis. This needed another fucking season. We should’ve had John lose his sanity over Thomas and kidnap him. It would’ve made for great storytelling. If the writers wanted to drum up the “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” trope, they could’ve... but not in half a bloody episode! Way to butcher 4 seasons worth of character development in 30 fucking minutes. :( Shoulda had a second declaration of independence and unified america without going full nazi Terrible choice they made

Hi Man of Recaps, recently discovered your channel and it's been very helpful! Wondering if you have or can do a series recap of CASTLE - ran for 8 seasons on abc with Nathan Fillion and whilst I don't wanna rewatch it all as I know the crime solves but would be good to refresh the characters story's etc over the series run (and if you have something like like for CBS' The FBIs too that would be amazing!) Thanks!!

[@omegacon4]

The end of Season 4 shows all those people who WANTED to join a Nazi-run state.

[@hs_random7384]

Thank god I decided to drop the show in middle of season 1, and watch these recaps

[@gmtv6710]

I interpreted the ending as all the people who died in the concentration camps coming back to life as a way of restoring this reality to normal 🤷‍♂️

[@OolTube02]

More like so many people died that it was easy for lots of people able to cross the multiverse to settle in this one, giving it enough diversity that no new Nazi movement can take hold again.

[@ajshdhenskaka]

@@OolTube02 Most likely all the added diversity would make everyone realise how badly they needed the Reich in America. Diversity only manages to work in real life because it happened so slowly and the media goes to great length trying to convince everyone it's normal. Dump 10s of millions of non-whites claiming they're entitled to the country all at once and they'll get the push back they should have received in our reality.

Reminded me if imagery from the original Poltergeist & Close Encounters films.

[@shmeckle666]

That's kind of lame and gay.

[@kareemelamin4902]

[@theosgift654]

something was great something was bad, all season feels like it's hurry to somewhere, BCR appears from nowhere, why they not mention them in previous seasons? Ending was in hurry too Anyway, it's was supergood to see them again

[@suzyqualcast6269]

So glad I didn't waste time watching the last 2 seasons. Your recaps are brilliant.

[@vinzentmeier3040]

The whole thing could be peak 90s command and conquer plot

Red Alert 2 type! lol

[@AA-or4dt]

I just can’t think of anything good to say about season 4. In my opinion, the show started out good in season 1, but every season just got worse.

[@colettebell4306]

your recaps are hilarious!

[@alphagamer9505]
