P.S. Which is bigger, John Adams balls in France or the width of the Grand Canyon? Discuss.......
I thought he was great, although that won't get you want from someone...when you are at their mercy, but I still loved how he dealt with them, all the same.
At the beginning of the show when JA is breaking the news to his wife that he has to go to France, Abigail tells him that this is Franklin's deal to be handling. So Congress sent JA there, to get it done, because Franklin wasn't cutting the mustard. His foul mood was already set off by Franklin himself...who was there just lapping everything there up. I guess that was JA under a lot of pressure...pressure from his wife to not leave her, pressure from having his son there with him, annoyed from making that long trip on that festering ship, only to be told whimsically by Franklin upon his arrival that there was a treaty, only to find out that the "treaty" served France more than it did America...and replaced Britain's strongarm on America for themselves. Then on top of all that, Franklin was sleeping with their whores and encouraging him to do the same, and he wanted NO part of that. He was on a mission to serve his country and that was that. I guess we got to see JA pissed off. I can sure see why. Now that France is what it is, it just made me laugh...and King Louis was quite the smarmy little
too, now wasn't he?
In this last episode, we got to see more of JA's and BF's failings.
