I reeeeeally like this one! Extremely poignant subject matter! And definitely one of my favorite categories of consideration. Especially the way that the ending is up to the viewer. I like that there is some hope in it. Let’s be honest. We, AS A SPECIES, have a very misguided, and deluded understanding of ourselves. We are an, essentially, instinctually… and subconsciously driven species (aside from the more complicated, and arguable aspects of our natures). But… most of us spend our lives, denying those very drives. And replacing them with a fantasy awareness of self, tempered by emotional states, which are basically “illogical (as Spock once elegantly put it. Lol). Some, more than others… and some, wayyyy more than others. So, our evolution, and our survival, are fundamentally driven, by the whims of these processes. Processes, which we invest most of our precious energy and time, ignoring. So, maybe a little logic, is just what we need. What KIND of logic? Well, that’s the real stumper. It’s only natural, that we be somewhat fearful… of the myriad ways, in which this change, may occur. But, I promise you this. If we don’t wake up soon, there will be nothing left to salvage. And… we’ll likely never even learn the answers to these many questions. Until we can face the more abstract, and self-destructive aspects of ourselves… We might as well be playing “Russian Roulette.” Except, we don’t even know where the trigger is, or even which part is a bullet. And I… firmly believe that isn’t a single human ON THIS EARTH, who COMPLETELY understand the Human state of existence. Or, whether that is actually as tangible a thing, as some may want us to believe. But… I know that if we allow cold, manipulative… and greedy Autolaters (C.E.O. types, or their bosses), to determine the futures (if time even, actually, does exist) of our descendants, we don’t stand a chance. Because people like that, don’t even have the ability to care for their OWN best interests. Much less, the entire species. The majority of them, anyway. And… let’s face it. THAT is who now controls OUR destiny, or fate, or future… or whatever you’d like to call it. Because, as a species, we’ve been taught to escape our emotions. And to belie… our instincts, as intellect. Or, as some abstract sixth sense (which I, personally, believe is real. But not “traditionally” tangible to most) So, you… tell me.
Where ARE we headed???

Pretty good movie..story was easy to follow but wished there were subtitles when they spoke in the foreign languages. At a point it he became the Indian John Wick even wore the suit and had a dog. Who knew there were so many deadly weapons in the kitchen. Story of revenge, retribution, and rebirth.
I remember back when this movie was released, when I was all of 11 years old, I remember specifically that this was during a time when Disney couldn’t produce a hit to save the company’s life. Walt Disney during the Mid-70ies era was just an absolute mess and was even facing Bankruptcy due to a string of bad/poorly made live action and animated films that no one wanted to see..this one was that rare exception was a really well done movie.
It’s funny to look back on/think how bad Disney/Disney Studios was, compared to the Billion Dollar Conglomeration it now is today.
I don’t really understand the finale. So did “Anjin” go back to england? The show says he did. He even “fought” as a Samurai as per his grand-children. But Toranaga says he believes he will never go back to England. I just don’t get it haha.. Excuse my ignorance..
there are 6 books in the whole series.. shogun, escape,gai-jin, king rat,noble house, and whirlwind . The asian saga.. read order is different than as i listed em.. all very good books..I highly recommend reading them.. I am an avid reader, I binge book series like I do movie and tv series .. at present I am burning through the works of david eddings…
It’s based on a series of 3 Asian-themed books, so the finale was perfect in line with that. There will not be a season 2, but there might be adaptations of the other books in the trilogy, Tai-Pan and Gai-Jin.

I cannot remember where I read it exactly, but there is talk about continuing with both Tai-Pan and Gai-Jin! We can only hope! (⺣◡⺣)♡*
I was think that same thing at the end of the show.. The folks that made this series would do a dang good job of it too.. My fav of the whole series of books was tai-Pan..
Seasons 8, 9, and 10 of Futurama were produced as seven seasons, but aired as 10 seasons. Season 6 was split into 6A (season 7) and 6B (season 8), and season 7 was split into 7A (season 9) and 7B (season 10). The episodes are broken up differently based on medium, with home video releases changing the episode breakdown per volume, and digital releases changing the season numbers.
In other words, all episodes from seasons 8 ,9 and 10 are already listed in season 6 and 7.

So basically it’s an Icarly situation were episodes where produced for one season but then aired as part of the next season instead.
What happened to Season’s 8, 9 & 10?
It’s all kind of confusing. There were originally 4 seasons (72 episodes). Fox aired a lot of it out of order and stretched it to the 5 seasons you see listed here. After that, there were 4 straight to DVD movies made that were later split up into episodes and aired on Comedy Central as season 5, or 6 depending on how you count it. Then there were the two 26 episodes seasons on Comedy Central that were split up and aired over 4 years.
The gist of it is that there is nothing missing here except for the movies, which are listed as the specials at the end of season 5, and you can find links for those on their individual movie pages.

Great series. Terrible season finale, was expecting much much more from this last episode and it never delivered. :( seems like there probably should be a season 2

A very professional, thorough and shocking documentary on the murders that O.J. Simpson committed. It’s irrefutable that he was and is guilty. What a sham the legal system in the States is. It’s shameful.
I really need captions, because it’s my hearing that is a challenge.
Hearing great things about this show. Don’t know why I hadn’t seen it yet, but I’m in now. Time for a catchup binge!
Bring on Gai-Jin.

I’ve watched them all so far and I don’t think you will have any trouble following them the way they have been released. 😉
It’s rare, so it’s really appreciated. Personally, I like both, but when we get dubbed stuff, everyone can enjoy it & that’s very nice.

This episode has created so much anger in me. They shouldn’t have that precious little girl anywhere near these two addicts. Even if it is her father. They all have terrible judgement, the Nick’s parents included. Another thing I would like to mention, I’m so glad they changed that cheesy intervention song called “5 steps” they would play at the end.
This has been a robust, fulfilling and stellar series! Without Shōgun, Tuesday’s will never be the same!
Bin a fun rewatch, Something people may have missed, The old fairy tales twisted into a romantic drama with some actors you may now
Just finished the season and it was really good, up to a point. Roughly half way through, the show starts to really drag on, a lot of the things that happen seem rather pointless, and it’s hard to see if anyone has any idea what they’re actually doing. Then the show just kind of peters out to an end. Have to say, I was kind of disappointed. I think it would have been better if it was cut down to 8, or even 6 episodes.
I’m so watching this tomorrow sober it’s the monkey man this brings back memories one time I need munchies so I went on a walk to the store the short cut went thru a elementary school any way I was walking and it must have been rescess time this kid on the playground yelled out monkey man monkey man I had a big beard and long matted up hair I looked at the kid and and laughed ha ha your stuck in school ha ha or something like and continued my walk feeling awkward but gratified for telling the little bastard he’s trapped in school I just thought about that
What a series! Best thing I’ve seen in a long long time. The cinematography was brilliant, especially (in this epi) when Toranaga is on the hill releasing the falcon.
“If you are finally done …” hahahaha!
I love this show. Even though Arman was the heart of show, we’ve got a great new cast to fill his shoes. I don’t know which scenes were better Thony/Nadia or Thony/Ramona. All powerhouse actresses. Kate Del Castillo is such a force when her scenes come up, she demands your attention.
I agree. These last few episodes have been AMAZING. Kate Del Castillo is absolutely fantastic. However, we’ve been waiting two seasons for Nadia to really let loose on Thony, and boy it’s been worth the wait!!
I look forward too this every week, Great show hope season 2 isnt far away.
Yass! One of my favorite shows. I just love all the actors. They are all brilliant in their own right.
Fully, I love Simon Bird, he’s fantastic in ‘Everyone Else Burns’ and of course the amazing Tamsin Greig from Black Books, she has the best laugh!!
I think you have to take it for what it is, and in that regard it’s an entertaining waste of a couple hours. I liked it.
I just made some Crimble Crumble- Cuz binging this series made me want some sooo bad!! Hahaha

I’m watching the documentary on octopuses right now, but this is next. I have to watch it, because my kids always called me “Tigger” when they were growing up because I never sat still and was always happy.
This is hilarious! It’s the sequel to episode 16, of season 1, of course. Very funny, from this perspective.
