Blackthorne
One day more, another day without my fucking ship.
Mariko's dead and now I hate this trip.
These men who commit suicide while Toranaga gets to hide.
One day more.
Yabushige
I did not betray my lord today. I'll have to betray him tomorrow.
(One day more)
Tomorrow he'll be worlds away. He doesn't care about my sorrow.
Toranaga
One more day before my plan
(What the fuck is his plan?)
will unfold and I'll be Shogun.
(No one knows about his plan).
When my ranks begin to form.
(All the men you had are dead)
And you all will bow to me!
GOAT Show 🥹
I guess there are more Clavell books? I'd just as soon they let this be a one-and-done and let it go out as one of the great miniseries.
Can you explain this part? I don't think I understood it.I didn't catch on to what Old Man Blackthorne's scenes were until he dropped the rosary in the water.
Ah, ok.They were just dreams he was holding onto, not a flash forward
What was the line?Blah, good ending but I wish we'd gotten Ishido buried to his head in the ground from the book ending. Literally the most remembered scene along with the final line that supplements it. The perfect version of this story is somewhere in the middle between Clavell's bullshit and the show's writing.
"Why tell a dead man the future?"
Toranaga cold af to the very end
I'm not a comic book villain….Crimson Sky was triggered 20 minutes ago.
"Yabushige-dono! There are no catfish in the pond..."
that's when yabu knew, the game was rigged from the start lol
I think that was a great way to end the show on a denouement.
I'm still not sure if the hole Blackthorne thing was real or not, but it still feels weird to write this love story and also make him have a family back home. Even if the opening is a dream or a hope, it still muddies things for no reason.
But also I guess this is a question of what the hell was the plan with the shinobi last week? It makes even less sense that they'd try to blow open the door now unless dude just miscalculated how everything would fall apart so quickly.
Which seems odd because she was literally about to kill herself earlier in the day. Maybe it is to show how much she was underestimated, because if Ishido had just let everyone go, Ochiba probably wouldn't have had the motivation to turn on him.I don't think it was subtitled but the Shinobi actually warn them to get away from the door so the blast won't kill them.
No one had told them that their target had a deathwish.
Yeah, I said earlier in this thread that if the quality holds up it will be alongside Band of Brothers at one of the greatest miniseries of all time and I think they have succeeded.An impeccable, perfect, towering, staggering achievement. If this is not recognized come awards season there is no point to achievement. A show I will use to judge the taste of people forevermore.
