It makes going up town to see a Broadway show an annoying chore. On the other hand (and before my time in the City) TS at least has become a safe, touristy commercial place, thanks to disney et al that breathed life into the area.
Since I'm on a bit of a tirade, for those folks who do get to NYC and Times Square, please keep in mind that there are amazing places to eat only a few blocks away in any direction. Trust me, olive garden and bubba gump (and their ilk) are a waste of money as they are strictly for tourist who likely won't be back soon (if again) so service, quality and ambiance are generally not serious considerations by management. Try the High Line, wander the Village (East and West), the Hudson Greenway and innumerable other New Yorky places of interest.
I like #3 but wished you had included more street level, same with #1. For me #4 is your best shot because it gives the best feel for TS.
