I happen to love the past - everything from the clothing, to the way people spoke, to what was considered popular culture at the time. I love history, philosophy, and physics, so clearly a show that incorporates time-travel is something I would like. Surely enough, I do like the show, even if I think at times it isn't the most well-written. My favourite character is Garcia Flynn, I must say. He is very intriguing and the only character that doesn't annoy me to high heaven - what with Lucy being so stern and moral all the time when she clearly has made rather large mistakes herself, or with Rufus being a double agent, or with Wyatt being so depressed, distrusting, and hypocritical all the time. I cannot quite figure out Flynn - whether he is a villain or not, what his motives are, if what he says is true half the time - but at least he seems the least problematic of all the characters. This was a good enough episode. There were certain things I didn't like about it - like how it had nearly nothing to do with Watergate whatsoever - but these things don't take away from the quality of the episode too much. I also don't really like the whole Rittenhouse angle, but I suppose they needed it to create a story arch that could span multiple episodes. Ultimately, I liked the episode more than I disliked it.
