I love whenever the spy guy shows up. He never drops his put-upon peasant act around the other villagers or even when speaking with Toranaga. Dude's a trooper

I have a suspicion that the finale might be 90 minutes to really ham up the suspense. Anybody able to find that info a week in advance?

Edit: This online TV guide gives it a 90 minute block, but if that's with commercials, then they must all have been taking up 90 minutes, because each episode is a solid 50-60 minutes without commercials.

Couldn't remember the exact sequencing on Mariko's seppuku threat from the book but that was a real fun and real tense half of an episode until I unlocked that memory. Whole episode was great though, looking forward to the finale but sad that it's all coming to an end.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

This show really should be called drip masters because the costumes in some of these scenes are unreal. Sometimes I get pulled out because I’m checking out Ishido’s patterns or whatever.
This show wins multiple Emmys or it's a miscarriage of justice, but Best Costumes is right at the tippy top of the list.

It's probably too early in the year to speculate about awards very well. Mainly I don't really know if anything coming out later this year is due for its coronation tour like succession was last year

The idea of this airing on TV, even cable, baffles me. There is a lot of swearing and blood and there's even been a bare breast or two, how heavily is FX having to edit it?

My one complaint is that there's been a distressing lack of Fuji-sama the past few episodes.

Whenever Fuji-sama is not onscreen, all the other characters should be saying, "Where's Fuji-sama?"

Deadpool was the tip of the spear there. They were siloing Deadpool 1 & 2 and Logan on Hulu but they wanted to, y'know, not do that with Deadpool 3 coming up, which meant Disney+ needed to get R ratings allowed and parental control, and then once that was in, well...

genuinely unsure why Hulu even exists at this point, really. Except that I'm sure Disney likes cashing two monthly payments per month from a lot of users.

This is why I can never take the Emmys seriously. Succession winning everything was so dumb, given the caliber of competition. Seeing every category stacked with succession nominees was a microcosm of everything that's wrong with the TV industry.

Grain of salt because it was Sling, but on FX it was poorly quality (720p?) and the nudity in the first episode was covered up by a vague darkness. Like a shadow had been cast over her body. Switched to Hulu and didn’t look back.

Disney censored Daryl Hannah's butt when they first released Splash on Disney+ by CGI-ing longer hair, but did it very poorly so it just looked like she had a hairy rear end.

Props to this version going all out with the exploding door and leaving no doubt compared to the 80s one being more *boomf - door falls down like a wobbly bookshelf* and left me baffled afterwards that anyone could possibly be killed.

Does feel like this version has been sorely lacking a lot of the fun Blackthorne/Rodriguez frenemy moments though.
