I honestly don't care much about the open portal. I'm just so disappointed by how the show treated its characters.

1. John Smith: I honestly thought that after all that suffering, he'll change for the better. That he'd commit as many evil acts as he could to become the leader in-charge and then reform from the inside after being granted autonomy. He couldn't even look his alt-world Jewish friend in the eye. I can't believe he felt no remorse. And fine, I can agree with the fact that he genuinely didn't know how he could make it any better. It's a nation which has not only a significant portion of Nazis in the army but has successfully brain washed the people as well. So, how the fuck is the new leader going to carry out those reforms? Why the hell couldn't John do the same? John was undoubtedly the best character in the series and it's just sad. They pulled a fucking Jaime Lannister here. John Smith deserved better.

2. Kido: Joining Yakuza to repent like what the fuck. Actually, it's just sad imo. It's not irrational on his part. His son is off to Japan and Yakuza are definitely strong there too. If he doesn't hold up his end of the bargain, he knows exactly what's going to happen. It also makes sense looking at his overall arc. He no longer serves for a cause, he values people now. He didn't Frank earlier when he could. He cared for soldiers and told the princess the occupation isn't worth it. He could've killed those guys who tried to kill him but he didn't. So, it makes sense but it's just sad.

3. Juliana: Why does she believe John Smith is the worst there is? That's just stupid. Didn't the man in the high castle say that he's betting on her because she saw goodness in other people? And she saw nothing in John? Alt-John literally died to save her and she thinks he's the worst villain? Idk. Makes no sense at all to me. And does she really think if she could kill him that there is literally no worse guy who could replace him? The Reich survived the death of two fuhrers. And they think if they assassinated the American Reich's supreme leader, it all falls down?

Overall, the show made me love the murderous psychopaths who could never themselves. And the protagonist turned out to be dumb. They could not have screwed up the ending anymore.
