CapnAndy posted:Yeah, but understanding what Martin said and then formulating his own complete sentences means he's got grammar and at least a base vocabulary. Some of what Yabushige said should've made sense to him. I mean, if you don't know the word, you don't know the word. I could totally see Fuji or one of the household staff running through household vocab for a day back at Ajiro. And nowhere in the kitchen drawer is "ally". Yes yes, book time. In the book he has a Portuguese-Japanese dictionary compiled by the jesuits, which greatly speeds up his language skills. But in the show it seems he's just absorbing words and phrases where and when he can.

Be sure to point out that when Blackthorne kicked the orc helmet while searching for Merry and Pippin, Cosmo Jarvis broke his toe and that scream is real.

Yeah, the first priest screaming for them to execute Blackthorne immediately wasn't really giving off a "man of god" vibe

Okay so this is kind of fun, my brother is a goon but never posts but he's also a screenwriter in LA. This is an email where he put feelers out through his agent and manager and tried to write a script for an update on Shogun and was told the following  lol look at the date. They have been working on this poo poo for 8 years minimum. By the way he absolutely loves this adaptation and is very very aware he could not have done it better or nearly as good if we're being honest.

Oh, is MotA bad? I saw it got pretty good reviews, that's about all I know of it. E: Of course so did Night Country and that was some of the worst dogshit I've watched in years.

Mordja posted:Oh, is MotA bad? I saw it got pretty good reviews, that's about all I know of it. There are some good parts to it but it's badly put together, inconsistent, makes strange choices on where to place its focus, and does a weirdly bad job of pacing and hitting particular story beats that are seemingly present purely because they're expected but fails to see why they worked in other shows (such as Band of Brothers, which it can't help but be compared with). The core characters are a mixture of unlikeable or undeveloped, with probably the best character of the show who everything could have been built around - Rosenberg - not appearing until several episodes in and having almost no interactions with any of the other characters we've spent time with other than Crosby, who doesn't work as the connective tissue he should between early and later characters. A subplot between him and a British subaltern starts up suddenly and then just kind of... stops and never really comes up again. One episode ends with,"Okay guys, our mission now is to wipe out the Luftwaffe, and that means we need to be bait to draw them out and crush them... that's what we are now, we're bait!" with the credits rolling on the idea that this is what we'd see next. The next episode opens with,"Now that the Luftwaffe had been crushed, we were able to do bombing runs deeper into German territory..." The whole thing felt like a show that started to get made, fell into development hell, a bunch of cooks came into the kitchen, a lot of notes were handed in from the people overseeing the production or handling the money, and nobody really had any idea what they wanted to do with the show beyond they'd already done the European and Pacific land battles so next was the planes. Anyway, Shogun's really great!
