It’s a slick episode of Shogun. Mariko, played by Anna Sawai, has been a stand out character since the pilot. In this episode she unleashes her full power and charges full steam ahead into battle. Yabushige is just as psychotic and humorous as before. Would he make a last minute “conversion” to save his own skin? It might be the laugh Jim and A.Ron need after this episode.
In this episode of Shogun, Jim and A.Ron clock the character changes. Toranaga is at the beginning of something great. Yabushige is ranking deaths. Mariko has a wicked kill. Blackthorne beats up his fellow sailors. There is change on the horizon for this world.
Shogun just can’t miss. This episode recontextualizes some of the death-oriented attitudes of previous episodes. Jim and A.Ron, self-described aging prostitutes, are tackling this episode with all the fervor of someone preparing for battle. With ice cold lines, tragic backstories, and surprises bursting through the wall, this episode will have you on the edge of your seat.
In this episode of Shogun, we get a deeper look into the characters of Lady Ochiba and Mariko. Thought you’d have a chance to catch your breath, not a chance! The Iron Fist unleashes, Mariko and Blackthorne’s relationship deepens, and Toranaga’s hearts are still hidden.
This episode of Shogun begins with the carnage of the previous episode. A.Ron and Jim bring the show coverage you crave. When the meat cart is full, someone is going to pay. Mariko’s family name is revealed. Blackthorne is given a chance to leave…maybe.
Jim and A.Ron are here to entertain and analyze the latest episode of Shogun. Is Toranaga about to be undermined by his own family? Speaking of family, Mariko’s family mystery probably means she has power behind her. Blackthorne is enough of a polyglot to piss people off. Do you know the origin of the term “loose cannon”?
This episode of Shogun has it all; assassination attempts, female warriors, and a random rifle shot. As the body count climbs, the desperation for power grows. A.Ron, master of sail, and Jim, master of nothing at all, are here to break down the surprising elements that are true to history.
Shogun is hitting your Prestige feed! Shogun already has a long-time fan in A.Ron, and Jim is eagerly approaching this story for the first time. This FX show is based on the novel by James Clavell. If you are a fan of royal court based drama, think Game of Thrones, this is the next show for you.
