Yeah, Canton's treatment of ...Jackson? I think? was definitely off-putting for me. I think you're right and it's just unfortunate - maybe just part of the whole anti-authoritarian thing they were trying to show - but still. I'd like to give the writers the credit of historical characterization, but it felt way to casual for that. I'm holding out for possibly-Jackson to do something awesome in the next episode, just because he seemed the type of guy to do something awesome while protecting his president.
Oh man, I had forgotten about rubber-nosed Nixon. I think I had been reading lots of editorial cartoons or something and just accepted it as normal.
(Also, that's it, as soon as I'm out of school and back with my books, this fic is happening. ...So in about four months. Maybe I won't wait that long.)
