  • I love this series. I've been to Osaka twice for work and visited the castle. It's cool seeing it on this show. The entire place was impressive, but the walls were wild. The size of the stones used an

It could be a ploy to get Shogun out of the best limited series Emmy category and into Best Drama Series consideration. We’ll see. 

Just finished Episode 10. This whole thing was excellent.

Spoiler

Toragama using the same line Yabushige had told Omi earlier ("Why tell the future to a dead man") when he seconded Yabu was absolutely awesome. I presume it meant that Omi had been in league with Toranaga the entire time or at least that Toragama's spy network was so effective that he literally knew everything that was happening everywhere. I think that's why he waited before taking Yabu's head; he wanted to make sure he understood what he was saying and got it.

finally got a chance to restart on ep.7 but goddamn if hulu hasn't gone fucking berserk with the ads....  it took 3 hours to watch 2 hours of content

if they want people to stop paying them altogether that's a great way to do it

I know it’s basically dances with wolves in Japan but I still really like this movie

But based on a true story, and no costner.

George RR Martin uses double-spaces after periods.  Which proves double-spaces are superior, and the Chicago Manual of Style et al can go suck it.

Already cleaning up at the Golden Globes. Hiroyuki Sanada wins for Best Performance by An Actor and Tabadnobu Asano for Best TV Supporting Actor. Anna Sawai should win for Best Actress shortly.

The fact I know this or have an opinion is something of a character flaw (because Awards season is stupid), but the Globes always go for international co-productions.

Every non-update from Kondo and Marks is we have ideas, we’re writing them down. I would be shocked if they start production on a second season.

FX didn’t want Shogun to be in the limited series category, so they announced a Season 2 before awards season.

No, he means this:

facade - an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality

Webster has two definitions. The aforementioned one, and the following: a false, superficial, or artificial appearance or effect.

Disney isn’t paying them just to maintain awards eligibility.  They are using Shogun as their centerpiece for promoting Hulu like Netflix did with House of Cards and HBO did with The Sopranos.  If there’s any chance they can put together a second season they will want to take it.  I’m also sure the series does bonkers money in international sales.

Would season 2 be Taipan, or are they just going to make up shit for Shogun after the book ends.  I mean it really went well for GOT when they didn’t have any book material.  Fuck that fat turd.

I imagine they'd want to continue the Japanese look/feel of the Shogun story.  That's what really brought in a lot of folks.

Taipan might be a chronological "sequel" but it's not really a sequel.  It's an unconnected story and I don't think the general public would really follow it if they called it "Shogun 2: Now in Hong Kong! (and 250 years later)"

That said, I'd love for someone make a Taipan series with the same level of thought, effort, and production as Shogun.  And a new Noble House miniseries would kill it, too.

Counter... The Leftovers and The Watchmen..... although I do not think Damon Lindelof is involved in this.
