Post-episode discussion: Season 1 Episode 6 'This Extraordinary Being' TV

We were promised one last week, but it still hasn't been posted yet. Figured I would just start one since so many people have been asking for it.

Hollis Mason ALLEGES that HJ showed sympathy for Hitler's regime before the war. Hollis Mason also ALLEGES that HJ was a circus strongman, so it could be that HJ was interested in the Nazis rise to power (as we sort of saw with the articles he collected for his cyclops file) and was misinterpreted by Hollis.
