They started streaming an 8 part series based on Stephen King`s book
11-22-63 on Hulu. I watched the first episode. Lots of cool old cars. They
did an ok job air brushing Dealey Plaza to make it look like the sixties.
The episode was an hour and a half, I spent most of that time embarrassed
for the main character, who is an idiot. They are going to run a new
episode every Monday.

idiot. He was no JFK assassination expert to start off with. He was
basically coerced (out of loyalty) to perform the mission of stopping the
assassination.
Remember, it's just a story to entertain wrapped in an historical setting.
Stephen King didn't write the book to solve the Kennedy assassination. He
wrote it to entertain people. You have to watch it with that in mind - not
with the mindset of a jaded conspiracy researcher.

loyalty; perhaps a little of both). He's a guy thrown into a situation
where he's not sure what he's supposed to do - he's not a JFK
assassination buff after all; he's just a writer/teacher - and exactly
where he is. He comes across to me pretty realistically, as someone in
over his head trying to make sense of things.
This first part was quite good although the opening theme music is awful.

No? Lets see how many "duh" moves he made in the first episode.

He doesn`t get a haircut before he goes back in time, or get period
clothing, he goes back with long hair and a rock iron-on t-shirt. Was told
to get an inconspicuous car but bought a very conspicuous one. He takes
his smart phone (there is some technology that shouldn`t fall into any
hands), and a knife with the years of the Vietnam War inscribed on it. He
throws the phone into a river, which does not rule out it coming into
someone elses possession. He goes to a bookie he doesn`t know and makes a
huge longshot bet, with the payout being more than what that bookie
probably makes in about a year taking bets. He throws the book with all
the fight outcomes around with no regard to it`s importance (in the glove
compartment, boardinghouse, ect). He drops all the assassination
background paperwork all over when some kid bumps him in Dealey Plaza.
What if someone helped him to pick it up and looked at it, or some of it
blew away? And the guy can`t follow anyone unless he is practically
stepping on their heels. At the end he is making the dumb move of getting
involved in the murder of the family of the guy in his writing class.
Sorry, he is coming off like an idiot to me.

That's an homage to Back to the Future.

The main character is a typical liberal. He tries to interfere with events
instead of leaving them alone. One of the themes is CHANGE.

Jeopardy. You don't have to put everything in the form of a question.
And no, asking random questions does not prove that you know more than
other people. Just the opposite, in fact.

Do you anything about time travel? Do you understand the Grandfather
paradox?
Again, if you have something to say, then just say it. This is not
paradox?

You just don't get it. Listen, Anthony: You have absolutely no authority
over anyone, here or anywhere. Setting yourself up to be some sort of
teacher who has the right to question others and determine how smart they
are, or are not, is really just a sad display of unwarranted arrogance.
If you want to teach, why don't you apply at a bus driving school?
