Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god!
This episode was great too. Ryan, I'm sorry. Is there any chance of getting out of there? Everything is slowly starting to settle down in the series.
The subject of this series attracted my attention and I watched the first episode. It was actually beautiful. It seemed a bit complicated to me. The man is replaced by someone like himself, and so on. The series started well. I will continue.
If you read this comment, it means you liked the series too. It ended leaving many questions in my mind. I'm glad the cowboy and the girl got together and her dad was a jerk. As always, as every good thing has an end, we have come to the end of this beautiful thing. Who will wait for the second season now? It's an excellent series, I've played and watched more or less the game. The acting, the environment, the effects, everything was good. Your efforts are like health and medicine.:blush:
So over Allison this season. I know she is grieving, but that doesn’t give her the right to be so cold and mean to everyone for no good reason. And what she did to Luther…?!
Finally, the suffering is over
Not enough meat for a season premiere, but I guess it was just enough to make me want to keep watching.
I really miss 2015's Dark Matter, though...
A perfect finale, I'll admit I thought maybe we'd get a big battle to end things off (which would've been cool of course) but I love that this finale just stays in line with what the rest of the show has been, incredible dialogue, outstanding character moments and a score that brings out the emotions at the perfect time. That final scene was so touching too, seeing where Blackthrone started with that village / Toranaga and where he ended up with both of those things, beautiful
This show reminded me of Chernobyl. I thought the finale would be more conclusive, but it was more open-ended and left to your imagination. I think the Shōgun was quite successful overall. I'm quite satisfied.
A strong and effective send off for Daniel that does hit the right emotional spots. It's handled with care. Of course, even back in 2002 it was widely reported that Michael Shanks was going to be leaving the show, so there wasn't a surprise factor here. But that didn't diminish how sad it was to watch.
While the episode does remove his character, it has the foresight to not "kill" him off as such, leaving the possibility open for appearances in the future. But even so, this manages to feel final. The farewell between him and Jack is played very nicely, and it was the right choice that Daniel selects him to say goodbye to. Their friendship has been rough along the way (even as recently as a couple of episodes ago with the ending of 'Meridian'), but it's really grown into one of the most solid relationships here. The tears in Michael Shanks eyes feel genuine which is a testament to his acting abilities.
Whether you agree with Daniel's reasons for leaving is another matter. He seems to almost be giving up, despite his protestations that he's not. He claims to feel useless and that he's done all he can; I'm not sure I quite feel the same. The episode attempts to justify his state of mind, but the fact that it's not been built up kind of makes it not ring entirely true for me. He and SG-1 have accomplished a LOT over the past few years.
Other than that, this introduces us to the naquadria element and also Jonas Quinn. I like Jonas and I think this episode helps to establish his morals quite well.
I remember a lot of online discussion back in the day about Carter's goodbye scene with Daniel where she's talking about "why do we always wait to tell people how we really feel?". This was misinterpreted by a lot of people, myself included, as her declaring some romantic feelings towards him. I think it's an easy mistake to make given the words she chooses, but it's definitely not meant that way.
This episode is nothing special, but it has a couple of important things. One is the introduction of Bra'tac who will become one of the best characters in the series - it's interesting to note how well developed his character feels straight away. Tony Amendola managed to make the character both stern but also incredibly playful.
The other important addition is of course Teal'c family, although that's more down to the bearing they have on his character rather than any future appearances they will have going forward. I also really think that Carter shines in this one, throwing grenades and stealing Goa'ulds. I always liked it when she and Daniel teamed up for mini-missions.
Random thoughts:
I love this episode, but I do wonder why SG-1 went knowingly into enemy territory with the bog-standard excursion loadout rather than a full load of heavy weapons.
OMG...Dude's a terrible shot. Shot her in the arm from 3ft away.
at this point I'm watching it just because I have to finish this series.
awful episode.
Spartan saved it.
the woman in hospital in this episode is soo annoying and doesn't understand that if you say "people are in hospitals because of a building collapsed" Vs a world wide threat.
obviously they were gonna pick to save the world over the concept of "a building collapsing and people being in the hospital" what was Supergirl gonna do ?????
I just love how evil Jason keeps fucking things up for himself.
Feels like a remake of the cheap 90s show Sliders.
Just with better actors, a more flawed story, boring worlds and (even) dumber protagonists?
Boy, they spent a lot of screen time (over 10 minutes out of 42, not counting credits) on a fake-out :joy_cat:
New crime investigation shows are always welcomed. This one appears to have certain quality elements to make it a good show, but damn... I've never hated all cast members of a new show this much.
Can’t wait to rewatch this all over again, and again, and again.
I told myself years ago that I would have no expectations, that I’m just happy we’re getting a live action Fallout. Although there are some things I wish were different, I am definitely a satisfied fan. Season 2 when?
It was a episode that approached the quality of legendary television episodes like "Ozymandias" from Breaking Bad and "The Rains of Castamere" from GoT, it's the best episode of the series so far, and it got me hyped for the finale. :star_struck:
Anyone get the feeling that this is what preceded the events in the Expanse?
One of the most captivating shows of the decade ended with this episode. I can’t sing Shogun enough praise. What an absolute masterpiece.
Maybe they’ll continue it, maybe they won’t. I know I’ll be following the crew to see what they do next.
Very poorly written. Strong messages shouldn't feel like forced propaganda. It's just sad
I didn't like the race issue that they pushed down our throat in the scene of Dembe and his daughter.
The phrase "you moved from working to one white man, to working with white man with badges" is quite racist and if ot was said with any other race instead of whites it would get a congressional hearing.
I really thought that scene was too much...
That was so heavy handed. it doesn't even count as a metaphor, you literally had a white woman stealing power from black people. And then all the white superheroes being told to care about black people & being all contrite about being white.
Michael Shanks's acting in this episode is magnificent.
