Shogun (FX/Hulu) - February 2024 :ohhh:

[Fillerguy]

Littlefinger. Little foot is the cartoon dinosaur.

nikka went out like a hoe on his knees, simpin his name deserves no respect

 

[LiveFromLondon]

When I saw it was only an hour, I thought aint no way they're going tie up, fallout from Marikos death, Politics and the battle. When it ended I was like no battle but soon after I was not bad of an ending. Still, it did fall a bit flat with a battle.

 

[Digital Omen]

Telling someone I need you to slice your belly open by 6pm, not a minute later, is some cold-blooded shyt
Also the barbarian after all this time still being too stupid to realize nothing happens in the realm without Toronaga the gawd knowing about it is

Amazing show, 10/10 more like this

Game of thrones would have been better off without the last two big battles tbh

It basically killed off big complex and interesting chracters (along with all their plot threads) in a lot of stupid and boring ways

That a cold line, bro

So was it Toranga who sent the Shinobi in the previous episode or was it indeed ishido?

Ishido sent them.

Toranaga had people in Osaka Castle who saw Yabu let them in. Also, Yabu was acting guilty over Mariko's death, so that made him even more sus.

It was Ishido. Ishido admits to it when he speaks with Yas outside the council meeting. When he says Yas will have a council spot, He says mariko wasnt meant to be killed, but she resisted.

Ishido knew it was a wrap when he saw Yabu trying to catch imaginary fish in that pond.

That's right, I remember now.

Toranaga knew what would happen the entire time. He knew Ishido would forbid Mariko to leave. He told her to try anyway so that everyone would see her soldiers and her fighting. He knew that her duty would compel her to commit seppeku. He knew Ishido would stop that from happening. And he knew that Ishido would then try to abduct her. Everything was planned. He knew exactly how every piece on the board would move. And he knew that Ishido would use Yabushige to help in his plan.

When shogreh said he studies the wind, he meant that.

 

[Burned Verses]

This had a spark when it started, after that..



Toranaga, Yabushige, Mariko, and John are great characters but everyone else doesn’t do much for me or just wasn’t explored enough.

Also, the color grade on this is horrible. It’s a huge disservice to make one of Asia’s most vibrant cultures as washed out as it is & it ironically feels inspired by western media like generic World War II films & euro-arthouse flicks. It might be the worst part of show for me honestly.

But this was still like a 6 or 7 for me though, mostly because of the acting & scarce points of spectacle. It probably sounds like I hated it but I expected more than just people pontificating in dreary camps for half the runtime.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Torananga da gawd.

 

[Digital Omen]

What was ill is the gawd won without lifting his sword. The bureaucrat wasn't built like that, so Toronaga gave him a bureaucrat's death: a signed and notarized document wishing him luck in all his future numbered in low digits endeavors

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The one loose end I wish they would have tied up is the fate of Toranaga's brother. He more than likely asks him to commit seppeku, right?
