I love 1970PT too. I find the interactions between the characters (yes, even Quentin and Maggie) to be absolutely fascinating. 1970PT is actually one of the DS storylines that becomes richer with repeated viewings, and I find that my enjoyment of it only increases each time I watch it.
As for PT Quentin, he's a deeply troubled and tortured character. But the thing is that it isn't until almost the very end of the storyline that we fully understand why that is. So, it's only natural upon first viewing to possibly find him boorish and bossy, if not downright insensitive. And, of course, even after the explanation for his behavior is given, it doesn't necessarily mean all of his actions are forgivable - but they are all understandable. And it's really quite interesting on subsequent viewings to see all the hints and clues - as in this scene from Ep #1027 in today's slideshow:
1970: Ep #1027 - Quentin tries to explain to Maggie that he's struggling
very hard to free himself from and to understand 'certain things.'
