Apartments confusion

When did Jake and Bill move into the same building as Lee? When we first see them get an apartment they were in a second floor apartment, now there’s living right under Lee. This confuses me because in the episode where they bug Lee, we see them looking down at Lee.

Why...

Hi, sorry for the mistakes I use a translator. I haven't read the book but I loved the show. However, there are certain points that I would like to clarify... -Why doesn't Jake go back to the past to experience a love story with Sadie? He found that preventing JFK's death was wrong, plus it led to Sadie's death. So he goes back, lets JFK die, Sadie doesn't die and they live out their love -Why doesn't Jake go back to still save Harry from the trauma of his father killing his family with a hammer? It worked once, so he could modify at least that to see

Was Jake in a car accident

I think it was episode 6 or 7 where Jake is in the hospital and he keeps having flashbacks to present day. It got me thinking that perhaps in the future life he was in an accident, and the whole show is just a dream for Jake. It definitely makes you wonder…

11.22.63 episode 5

What is it that Sadie thinks she knows? Toward the end of episode 5 The truth at the hospital when Jake runs to her hospital bed to find she is still alive and awake he says he will never lie to her again and that he must tell her something. She is obviously not expecting him to say he’s from the future and laughs. But just before that she says “I know… well I think I know already”. What is it that she thinks she knows? That he’s a sex addict? That he has a secret wife and family? That he is using a false identity? That he has killed another man before? It’s kind of driving me crazy wondering what the f she thinks about him is a lie that he’s ready to share? He’s been pretty convincing. Other than a couple bad timed disappearances/abrupt exits such as the dance and after their first sexual encounter there’s only the Russian sex tape which is extremely strange for this time period but a woman that could rationalize her pervert husband putting a clothespin on his dick then beating and raping her on her wedding night could probably rationalize just about any sort of sexual proclivity - especially if it’s not violent like that scumbag she was previously married to she probably would just think due to lack of knowledge and resources no one discussing these things in this time period that somehow all men are to some degree perverts and have no choice but to act out these perversions in some form with Jake’s audio recordings being the least harmful of what she’s seen personally/limited knowledge. But aside from extrapolating that out russian perv recording = pervy voyerism kink shit I truly have no idea what else she could possibly think he was going to say? It cannot just be I love you or some basic shit like that. Are you really an English teacher from Maine? Yes. So nothing else is false about you essentially other than this time travel bullshit? People of 1960s have a concept of time travel from comics and such but no one has actively ran around stating they are from another time. That’s insane.

Also do we think that time is pushing back to keep Jake from finding out what happened to general walker that night or do we think he just f’d up and really pissed off John Clayton leading to that crazy bastard having a mental breakdown.

If you could, who you would go back in time and save?

I’d save John Lennon.

What if...

What if Oswald went back in time to prevent that future that we see in 2016 from happening?

Did I miss something?

I'm watching this series, I watched until episode 7, going to watch episode 8 now, and there's something that either I missed or is a mistake. There's been a couple of times where I was watching the series while doing something else at the same time, so perhaps I missed something.

When Jake is beaten up and loses his memory, he doesn't remember where he used to live (the apartment from where he was spying Lee). Then he remembers the name of the street (Madison St) and he goes with Sadie trying to find where he lived. Sadie doesn't know either, so they keep going door by door asking residents if they know Jake. However, in a previous episode, Sadie goes to Jake's apartment and finds out the spying equipment, which prompts her to break up with him. Did I miss something or is this a mistake?

1960 vs. 1958?

I just finished the book where the rabbit hole went back to 1958. I’m now just starting the show, but it seems it was changed to be a link to 1960 now. What’s the point of that change? If anything 1958 makes it a 5-year sacrifice to reach 112263 which is more impactful than only 3 years. Just curious, thanks!

WOW

Just finished this show and LOvED it. When I finished it, this quote struck me as valid:

“You never know what worse luck your bad luck saved you from”

Am I crazy

My first watch through of this show was back around 2019. I just rewatched and I SWEAR one scene was changed.

In the finale after the assassination, Jake is brought into questioning with the man from the CIA/FBI whatever—I have a distinct memory of the agent and Jake discussing that he is from the future. And, after some convincing, the agent acknowledges that Jake must in fact be from the future.

I just did my rewatch on Hulu and there is no mention of time travel in this interrogation. Was the episode edited or am I just wrong?

Lee Harvey Oswald MK Ultra trigger?

Does anyone remember the moment in 11 22 63 where it looks like a trigger word or phrase is used on Lee Harvey Oswald, it looks like his eyes glaze over and he goes into an almost unconscious trance then starts his journey for the book depository?

I wonder if anyone else noticed this? It was so intentional that Oswald never showed any inclination for assassinating JFK then in that moment it’s as if a switch was flipped.

Endings & Theories: What's yours?

Personally, I loved the show. But I really think that the ending in specific is a bit off, especially as it makes the rest of the previous episodes feel pointless. An extended version, perhaps, would need to explain more. I also believe that since the past was shown to be able to mess with them, that when the assassination was stopped, it WAS the right thing to do, but history screwed them over. Anyone got any theories or alt endings to share?

What happened after?

So Sadie dies, jake dissapears and people just think they all moved on or died?

Deek must have been utterly confused and devastated. The ending is so harsh.

A Question about their strategy

Why didn't they try: -Go back in time -Kill Oswald immediately -return to present If the president lived it means Oswald acted alone and they would have saved three years of their time, if not he didn't act alone and they could go back again and it would nullify the effect.

I remember a scene where Al said he thought of everything but I don't remember which episode was that.

So what happens with Al?

I know I’m late but they don’t mention Al after Jake comes back from rabbit whole (after he resets timeline by not saving JFK). Does he explain to Al that saving JFK creates worst world or does he just ignore Al?

Sad Head Canon

I started the rewatch yesterday after finishing it two days ago. I’ve never rewatched a series. If I’ve seen one through, I’m generally good, but this one has been plaguing my mind since I finished it.

So, today I was sitting with this show on my mind feeling sad about Sadie and Jake. Then I made it worse on myself and started imagining their lives together if he had stayed, and they were able to live their simple, normal lives. I thought about their would’ve-been Christmases and got so sad. I thought about Jake being her same age when she was giving her speech at Jodie High School in Jake’s present day and them being there together.

All in all it’s been a pretty rough day as I’m sure you all know.

P.s. - while typing this, I thought of a horrid scenario akin to Jake’s experience: Jake stays, and they begin to build a beautiful life together. A decade passes, they watch the other age as their love never falters. Then, in their 15th year of marriage, 1978, Jake vanishes out of thin air right in front of Sadie. Newborn Jake has paradoxed aging Jake out of existence. Sadie, verklempt has no closure until her now old self encounters 30-something-year-old Jake in 2016. Fuck—that would suck.

About 5 seconds into the credits I bawled my damn eyes out for the first time in years.

I absolutely melted down. It was a very ugly cry. Those of you who have a love like that—I hope you know how fortunate you are.
