So after waiting 5 seasons for them to get together, now they go and separate them! WTF!!!!!
I'm exhausted. This tension, the politics, the intrigue, even to the last second. So much is happening in this episode. So much concealed under such elegant garments.
In one way I look forward to the finale next week, however I'm not sure how they are going to fit what I was anticipating to be in this episode into the last, unless it is a 3hr episode, but I think it won't be such.
The other way I'm looking forward to the finale, is I no longer will need to invest all my emotion and attention in this concentration of spectacle and the craft of each Actor performing to perfection their role, and appreciating each word, glance, and interaction with their counterparts in such a magnificent, stunning location.
I'll be ready for this finale but until then I'll be soaking in what I've watched today. What a pleasure it is to witness what the Arts can deliver if given a proper opportunity.
Thank you to the Creators, Actors, Crew, and Those That have painstakingly brought this masterpiece to us.
The conundrum has set in... I desperately want to see the last episode now, but I don't want it to be the last show. 10/10
What a Bloody outstanding show! This is the first time I've ever wanted to give a show a genuine 11/10!
The writing brings out all of the respect, honour and dignity, even in deception. I love this epic and especially this episode (although once I see next week's episode I'll no doubt rave over that too), there is no dumbing down for the audience, you need to be immersed.
When 'Mariko' translating as she does 'Blackthorne's' words to 'Toranaga' and the sublime transition turning to 'Blackthorne' with eyes the sharpness of a sword, to ask "Shall I translate this too, or is this directed to me". Outstanding.
Each and every actor, no matter who they represent in this epic 'goes all in', for their character, their craft in acting is flawless. If there was any legitimacy in the Academy or in any entertainment award for actors, crew and show, Shōgun would do a clean sweep without exception, even though we still have two episodes to go.
Shōgun is definitely the pinnacle of any show I've had the privilege of watching in my six decades of life. This is not a throw away comment as I am an enthusiast in quality entertainment for most my life.
I cannot wait to own this on UHD Bluray boxset when it's released. Outstandingly Brilliant. 11/10
May the force be with you.
So many commenters threatened by one kiss. We spend seasons watching hetero's going at it, and one brief gay kiss makes them so uncomfortable.:rolling_eyes:
There's no book club?
Worth the price of admission right there. Such a great line! :D
How dare they make us care for Nate and how dare they be so good at it?
"I hate to break it to you Rebecca, but those children are dead"
oh just fuck off now, this was a show about football, why am i almost in tears about a fake player making his England debut wearing the number 24! truly an incredible episode, the last 3 episodes have all been out of the park brilliant and this show coming to an end in 2 episodes time is an absolute travesty
Holy fuck. I have goosebumps. Might be the best episode of TV this year. Fucking amazing. Honestly, I can't blame Tom for what he did, he's taken so much shit from everyone, including his own wife.
I'm happy for them that the managed to sell that thing but honestly I think it was ugly as fuck.
That's right. We don't submit to terror. WE MAKE THE TERROR!
Lol that fight scene was legendary. Go Marty!
take a shot every time they talk about manifesting
A++++ acting from Julia Garner
One one of the best performances on one of the best episodes of one of the best shows to ever exist
I can't be the only one glad to see Darlene is dead, right? R.I.P Wyatt though.
OMG OMG OMG that was some of the best star wars since return of the jedi. PURE AMAZING. PERIOD.
my dudes, i'm not gonna lie, it felt like 50 minutes of free therapy (well, almost free)
loved it. (also, why is the date on trakt set on december 7, did I have a whole ass trip and imagined the first part?)
fyi if anyone is about to watch this, DO NOT watch it right after or while eating. i ate like seven meatballs before watching and hoooooly shit, regretting that decision sdghfjkgjhjgk.
overall, it was alright. the visual aspects + performances are great as always, but some scenes did not need to be as long as they were.
God i'm gonna miss the Rocinante crew so fucking much. They definitely stuck the landing on this finale.
Wow, what a finish!
In this sophomore season, the writers put everything in motion, putting their characters to full throttle. Sure, there were few misfires, such as Karen and Danny. But even the weakest elements added up to what this show is all about. Empathy for others and taking those bold steps that define the future.
This final episode wraps so many arcs, not necessarily into a neat bundle, but somehow all sorts of emotions at once. Sad and proud, suspicions and hope, despair and possibilities.
Fantastic season finale. Had all the things I come to this show for. The action scenes in space were great both above and on the moon. I'm sorry to see Tracy and Gordo go, but I think the way it happened was quite powerful. Excited to see the ending tease season 3 focusing on / taking place on Mars, and given the additional time jump of it seems we'll likely be meeting a large swath of new characters. Can't wait for the next season, while Apple TV+ has a few good shows, this show alone justifies the existence of the service for me.
Who would have imagined that bringing firearms to the moon would have any negative repercussions?! :joy:
cassie was just asking to get hereditary’d in the car going 100mph
They need to tell Fez's story in the next episode, please!
Loved the directing and camerawork of this episode as well as the actors performance. The backstory of Jules was interesting and the scene where Jules gets to meet her texting crush was very well acted by both actors in that scene.
Dude. The fucking cinematography man.
I think Nate is about one VW Bug short of being Ted Bundy.
I'm really excited to see the friendship between Rue and Ali (I loved the actor in Fear The Walking Dead). Also excellent scene between Rue and Fez, if not heartbreaking.
