He should recognize him
19 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A guy is playing cards and wonders if you could change the past. He then out of nowhere suddenly travels back in time to the day Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Obviously, he tries to stop it from happening. He knows that John Wilkes Booth killed him, and he actually meets up with John Wilkes Booth himself! The weird thing is that he doesn't recognize him! I would think a guy familiar with the Lincoln assassination would know what John Wilkes Booth looks like!

It's still a good episode. He tells a guard about Lincoln's death, but can't get anyone else to support him. It has a nice little twist ending. He didn't stop Lincoln from dying, but he did change something else. The guard became rich and has a rich descendant who's one of the guy's friends playing cards now. Come on, he should know what Booth looked like! ***
