My impressions of Episodes Eight and Nine of the new FX adaptation of James Clavell's classic historical drama Shōgun.
Episode Eight - "The Abyss of Life". Toranaga’s defeated clan moves to Edo and awaits their fate. Blackthorne must decide who he fights for - the lord who has turned his back on him, or the ambition that brought him to Japan in the first place.
Episode Nine - "Crimson Sky". Mariko arrives in Osaka for the fight of her life. Blackthorne and Yabushige scramble to save their own heads as their options dwindle.
FX’s Shōgun, based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. “Lord Yoshii Toranaga” (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village.
New Episodes are released every Tuesday on FX:

Episode nine was brilliant, probably my favorite since episode three.
I've just been binging this serie !! Best show on TV !!
It is very good indeed mate isn't it.
The costumes continue to slay me. I thought Blackthorne might have had a bit more sympathy for his former shipmates. Side note: They were attacked by shinobi, not ronin. Ronin didn't rely on stealth nearly so much. The battle at the gate demonstrated Mariko's courage brilliantly. Yabu's a survivor, first and foremost. Need someone thrown under the bus? He's your man with grease in hand.
Yabu may be a treacherous piece of crap but somehow, I suppose because of the actor's portrayal, I can't help but like him.
@@ThatSeventiesRockFan I think you're on the right track as far as the actor goes. "Don't hate me. I'm just trying to see one more sunrise. Some people are blocking the view and I am simply getting them out of the way."
I have to give episode 9 credit. A Samurai actually used their Samurai sword. I hope episode 10 is an hour of nothing but fighting. Even though I feel that we've had very little action 9 episodes in, I still like the show
It's been a little light on action, but looking back through the novel I noticed that there wasn't as much action as I recalled.
