The true "master of secrets." I could easily see the Reich keeping him on in more or less his old job. He had the dirt on everyone. He would have thrived under a system where the last checks and balances on his power to spy on his citizens were removed.
My favorite parts of the show were when it depicted ordinary people and real historical characters doing exactly what they would have done in real life, but changed to fit the new world order. The American police officer dismissing the falling ash from the local hospital was chilling, because it showed the normalization of Nazi idealogy. Hoover spying on Americans to detect anti-patriotic attitudes for the Nazis makes sense. Hitler hiding in a castle, paranoid of being assassinated by his own men is realistic. The crown prince of Japan visiting America was a cool touch. These were where The Man in The High Castle truly shined.
@@misterxxxxxxxxx1 Naw, it was inconsistent more or less. This entire plotline with Hoover never made sense to me. Hoover was interested in protecting his position. When he was conspiring with Rockwell, it benefited him. But after Rockwell was taken out by Smith. Hoover & Smith came to an understanding. There was no need for Hoover to do any of this backstabbing.
Loved the show, but because of the sensitivity of the subject it was based on is the reason for its cancelation unfortunately .-. This could've easily been a 6+ season show
Ernest Bigot Hoover would have made a deal with the devil to stay in power , probably did. He was only against communism because of our political structure. If we lost WW2 he would have cozied right up to the nazis

Four_ Eyes323 I believe it was quite good, I cannot see how the would have had enough material to ramp up the pace in a season finale of a 5th season. This one felt quick and filled with little teases, tie-ins and action
Did it feel a little rushed? Yes. But at the same time, it doesn’t feel like it went in a way that felt out of character. It just got there a bit faster. All the characters had perfect endings
Mohamed El Kayal Hoover went on a crusade against anyone he saw that betrayed his version of America’s values. He had a personal vendetta against MLK as he saw the civil rights movement as a communist force.
Good to know Hoover has a job no matter what alternate timeline he lives in. In Joe Steel, Stalin's parents moved to America before he was born. The parents of some other high up soviet officials also made the move too as Molotov makes an appearance. They didn't need Beria though because the US already had Hoover.
Hoover's leitmotif was really the highlight of the soundtrack work in the season, it underlined the lethal efficiency of the sleazy totalitarian bureaucrat he was in this continuity. But I do not understand why it suddenly plays during Smith's TV adress the very next episode.
This was one of the things I think the alternate timeline got right. I think that Hoover would absolutely join the Nazis if it meant clinging on to and gaining more power.
This whole dynamic with Hoover had me hella confused. First he helps John Smith and then betrays the Reichsmarshall and then when John becomes Reichmarshall Hoover just decides: No this is not gonna work. Like overall I don't understand the power struggles of these people. I'm kind of sad they entirely excluded Josef Goebbels from this series. He would have been a better choice to involve in a power struggle with Himmler
Hoover is a selfish man. He does things that only benefit himself. If John Smith was executed, Hoover probably expected some sort of reward, a promotion perhaps. Similarly, he decided to betray Rockwell only because John Smith held critical information relating to Hoover. The things he does are purely out of self-interest.
Its the same hoover from our reality. The first fbi director and the one who was shadow president of the U.S. blackmailing and pulling springs. Accurate representation of Hoover in this show.
@@jackyshen3795 I'm just kind of sad they decided to exclude Goebbels out of the whole power struggle situation. I mean in Season 1 its mentioned that Himmler and Goebbels vied for power and waited for Hitler to die but after Hitler's death Heusmann is named acting leader and we only ever see Himmler but we never get to see Goebbels. I'm assuming after Himmler took power that he had Goebbels killed
@@spearshake4771 goebbels was mentioned in season 3 I think. But my theory is that he's just to old. I think himmler was younger but look at him. He's a old fart
This should’ve been the ending and there should’ve been a season 5 to end the show properly. Smith is such a good character that i began to side with him and hated the resistance. 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. :(
It's a tiny detail and I'm not sure it's intentional, but the documents in this scene use the metric system (used in Germany (and pretty much anywhere except in the US) to show weight, and height, rather than what was used in the US (then, and now), the imperial system.
I had always expected either John Smith or Kido would have become like a Inspector Javert in that they grow disillusioned over the countries they serve and ideology and end up joining the rebels.
If they combined it the man in the High Castle, Wolfenstein, Hellboy, Iron Sky, and crisis on Earth X imagine how interesting of a movie that would have been if it was directed by Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro
The basic fallacy about this series is that it's based on a false premise: that the Nazis and Japanese desired and had the means to conquer the world. The Nazis did not think in Geo-political terms but Eurocentrically. Hitler thought in World War One terms, seeing the conquest of France and Russia as his ultimate war aims. The Nazis had no workable plan for even invading England and put no real energy into it. Nor did they have a navy capable of crossing the Atlantic against an America with three times their industrial plant. Hitler feared America. Similarly the Japanese limited their war aims to co-opting southeast Asia and China into their Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. They had no wish to go after America and could not support a cross-Pacific invasion of America with their minuscule industrial plant, barely 10% of America's. World conquest by the Nazis and Japan was simply not possible given the political-economy of their nations. But it's a nice and entertaining fantasy, which is what Hollywood is all about.
In this reality though the US neuer Trulli came out of the Great Depression , the nazi takeover happened because the public Was convinced that they could Provider them with a better life , the same as happened in germany in real life
the us had a larger economy than japan but it was barely putting any of it into its army. all of its funds went to its navy, but even that was tiny. something like 1%. japan was putting in something crazy like 80% into its military so it was pretty much even
Yeah, in truth the only real method available to a global imperialist power post-atom bomb was the Neo-colonialist system the US set up. Financially and clandestinely support various strongmen to exploit resources in countries rich with them, and a military presence via bases + economic dependence on the US for everyone else. Direct colonial rule, as seen in TMITHC, hasn't had much success since the 50s, and arguably was already on it's way out before that. That being said, China really makes me wonder if Imperialism itself isn't an outdated concept at this point in time. Would be nice to believe the gun permanently pointed at the back of your head isn't the only method to produce stable economic partnership between nations.
Correct. But suppose that the nuclear strike of washington was the German action to force the US out of WWII by sapping the morale of the population (as the allies also attempted to do by Butcher Harris bombing policy). The plan goes beyond the wildest expectations: the USA not only withdraws, but totally collapses as a nation and surrenders unconditionally: wouldn't the Nazis really take advantage of this, as well as the Japanese? After all, Japan and Germany suffered the same fate: unconditional surrender and military occupation as long as it was deemed convenient
A year later but no, the point was Hoover would’ve thrived under the Nazis since they were totalitarian and he was vehemently anti communist plus given the police state he created with the FBI in our timeline. Under the Nazis, his power to power to spy on anyone would’ve been unchecked. Also it was less about him questioning loyalty but more so to get back at Smith since months prior Hoover had other secrets on Smith that he was going to use to aide American Reichsmarshall George Lincoln Rockwell in removing Smith from power. However Smith revealed to Hoover his men found dirt on him so Hoover was forced to abandoned his plans and Smith subsequently succeeded Rockwell after Himmler exiled him. This was an attempt to try again to remove Smith for treason but failed again because Smith collaborated with Goertzemann to launch a coup.
I don't get it why people didn't like this scene and the following one. Totalitarians do eat each other like that. And the following scene is one of the best imo. My problem is with the last episode. That one was utter trash. Very rushed and made little sense.
Intelligence failures don't shift the moral compass. The US had missed opportunities to head off 9/11. That we missed them doesn't make Al Qaeda any less evil or the US immoral. Same too with Israel. Incompetence is not conspiracy or malice.
I loved that Hoover was a scumbag in every possible timeline, but it's a shame the show got so screwed up. It's more important than ever for media like this.
Back to the comment made by Steve.... or whatever... sounds like a psycho pathic criminal I suppose he calls through blocked caller ID no number and then hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm he's in another country so he gets to play internet bully while pretending to be a?
Greater Nazi Reich always annoyed me. Nazi is supposed to be pejorative, like commie, it'd be like calling the Soviet Union calling itself the "Commie Union"
I agree that the show had its moments----- the knockoff of Dragnet and Twilight Zone and What's My Line, probably could have dropped Lawrence Welk show as it really was. But I thought 15 years was too soon for such a radical change in religion plus the WOKE final season, it didn't fit. But the world building was excellent.
There are a lot of good episodes in this series but it tended to drag onward too long with no real logic such as example the BCR uprising coming out of nowhere with no mention during the previous seasons. That ending of the series what explanation for it did Americans gain back their country? A lot of plot holes I must admit even losing interest for a while, but as stated it did have interesting episodes maybe they'll do a best episodes DVD though that's unlikely; no way I'll purchase the entire series.
The real question is why did the nazis even accept Hoover to begin with? A powerful intel chief of a former enemy? Seems unlikely. Would Himmler tolerate a potential threat to his rule in North America? Again seems forced. It really doesn't matter how racist Hoover was. For the nazis he would still be a threat in their view.

*I'm not gonna make any equation*
Wait wrong one
Hearing Himmler coughing in the background as he slowly gets angrier and angrier was a great addition. Really shows the tension
Hoover screwed up so bad by going after John's family. Nobody goes after his family. Period
One of the main lessons of this show. Dont. Go. After. Smith's. Family!
In the Reich threatening family is part and parcel of it all
Except that it was actually all part of Smith’s plan.
Hoover thought he was as clever as Littlefinger. In the end, he met Littlefinger's fate.
@@chad3232132 Yeah with the exception that littlefinger's death was because of Bran's psychic cheating powers and sloppy writing.
Honestly this show should've focused on John everyone else I found boring and melodramatic
I agree, but onestly i really liked ispector Kido storyline
Nobusuke Tagomi!
I only liked the Axis scenes
Kido and Tagumi were really cool tho. Juliana and Childan were ok too.
The BCR were insufferable. Their sole purpose is to be appealing to SJWs.

During his time at the top levels of the us govt he black mailed presidents to get what he wanted. And that is why the CIA is such a problem today

John Smith is the best character in the entire show.

That is almost certainly intentional, and a great touch.
So this confirms Hoover is the same man in ANY reality. Scheming and manipulating to always get what he wants no matter who he serves

The guy’s going to get stabbed in the front
Tbf Hover was many thing but not a traitor to America, i think this is a unfaor representation
Greater Nazi Reich always annoyed me. Nazi is supposed to be pejorative, like commie, it'd be like calling the Soviet Union calling itself the "Commie Union"
If John smith is John lerch is Paul newman
Is Timothy leary
The only unbelievable part is that the Nazis wouldn’t be proud of their genocides in victory
i think it would be better if the german generals were speaking german …. more realism
Hoover you done fuck up
Such a fascinating and entertaining television show killed off by rush and horrid/unforgivable hack SJW writers in the final seasons.
I agree that the show had its moments----- the knockoff of Dragnet and Twilight Zone and What's My Line, probably could have dropped Lawrence Welk show as it really was. But I thought 15 years was too soon for such a radical change in religion plus the WOKE final season, it didn't fit. But the world building was excellent.
There are a lot of good episodes in this series but it tended to drag onward too long with no real logic such as example the BCR uprising coming out of nowhere with no mention during the previous seasons. That ending of the series what explanation for it did Americans gain back their country? A lot of plot holes I must admit even losing interest for a while, but as stated it did have interesting episodes maybe they'll do a best episodes DVD though that's unlikely; no way I'll purchase the entire series.
That can't be j e hoover he ain't wearing a dress
I've never gotten around to watching this show. Did Smith expose Hoover's homosexuality in response. Nazis were not big on that..
The real question is why did the nazis even accept Hoover to begin with? A powerful intel chief of a former enemy? Seems unlikely. Would Himmler tolerate a potential threat to his rule in North America? Again seems forced. It really doesn't matter how racist Hoover was. For the nazis he would still be a threat in their view.
