I just don't know why they made the young Henry such an annoying jerk. In the movie, the younger Henry (librarian) was more reserved and subtle. He had his guard up and didn't have an annoying argumentative sarcastic personality. That's why he was very likeable as just a gentle innocent guy trying to cope with his lifestyle. This tv show young Henry is just unlikable and i don't know why they focused so much on his immaturity. I suppose they want to show growth but really, most of the time henry and Claire were just arguing and being forced to be together because the future Henry said so. And the only thing that connects them together is that they know about his time traveling. There were no love and romance going on. Then all of a sudden he cuts his hair and in a day, and hes suppose to be a whole new mature guy now? I mean, they didn't need to make him so fratboy immature and annoying then they wouldn't have to force a pretentious overly dramatic and very unnecessary growth transition. I swear, they were just arguing in all these episodes.
