Shishkahuben posted:When drawing the map in episode 2, Blackthorne says the earth is "round, like a fruit" to no reaction from Toranaga or anyone else. The Greeks knew the earth was round since forever, and the Indians too, but did Chinese and Japanese astronomers and mathematicians have comparable knowledge? In the 1980 miniseries, Blackthorne then explains that his map is like the skin of an orange laid flat. In the book he does the same, then nerds out about Mercator projections and cardinal directions. Not sure if the current show meant anything more than Blackthorne nervously explaining.

McNally posted:Maybe you're thinking of the 1980 miniseries? I remember that Ishido being rather round-faced. In the 1980 show's portrayal of the escape from Osaka castle, Ishido is basically bumbling comic relief - dumpy, spluttering, baffled at the barbarian's yelling, hahaha, let them pass.

Mordja posted:I can't be the only one who thinks Toranaga's failson isn't long for this world, right? He doesn't really make a particularly strong or good impression in the book either but based on his historical equivalent I think he has a lot more interesting potential that they could go into if they felt like there was time. (Book/history spoilers) I always wondered how much clavell had gamed out how it was going to go for blackthorne after the events of the book to square with the way william adams sort of fades out of history, with naga barely tolerating him being a pretty ominous sign

One of Toranaga's other sons that shows up later in the book, and as far as I can tell hasn't even been mentioned in the show at all, is the one who becomes the second Shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty, historically. Maybe they'll merge the characters for the show? It doesn't really matter I suppose since all of that is stuff that happens well after the show ends. The person Nagakado is based off of died at like 27 from wounds suffered at Sekigahara

I kind of took as a matter of course he was the equivalent of hidetada (who ieyasu was also kind of pissed at for being a failson at various points).

He's a lord and they are pretty big on executions as a punishment for pretty much anything.

I read the book as a teenager and remember picturing Toranaga as an athlete with post-retirement bloat. When I watched the 1980 show, I thought Mifune was great, but I still had a hard time getting over my 1,000 pages of Toranaga in my imagination.

The globe is split up by lines of longitude and latitude. It is obvious where the lines of longitude line up, with home base being at the equator and it is also obvious where the lines of latitude line up, with the day resetting at the prime meridian, located over Greenwich, in Glorious Mother England.

Arglebargle III posted:From googling around it looks like at least one Chinese astronomer proposed a spherical earth but the idea never caught on. It really was something how China got like 97 percent of the way there, multiple independent times over 1500 years. The prevailing concept was a square Earth rotating in a spherical volume. See, if you rotate a square plane, you'll trace out a circle, which is why the heavens must be a sphere. Somehow I feel like they overthought the problem.

Somehow I feel like they overthought the problem. I think that might come down to a cycle in Chinese history similar to what Zhang He suffered. Zhang He was a close friend to the Emperor and given a mandate to sail into the world to bring civilization to the barbarians. He sails his fleet, all the way to the Cape of Good Hope, bringing back large amounts of riches to China, picking up loads of topographical data and theories. Before he can sail back out to test the theories, the court starts whispering into the Emperor's ear that Zhang He is more popular than the Emperor and will return to take the throne. The Emperor strips Zhange He of his fleet, banishes him from court, and suppresses almost all information about his journies.

Years ago I was listening to the DVD commentary to Octopussy, and there's a scene where Moneypenny is training a younger secretary, Penelope Smallbone, and the commentary pointed out that the actress is James Clavell's daughter. And sure enough, that's the same Michaela Clavell who is a producer on Shogun.

Blackthorne: "When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. The Japans works the same way." Toranaga: "..."
