I think overall they did skimp on the battle scenes (throughout the series but surprisingly in the final episode) to stay within budget. I definitely would have liked to see more closure with Ishido- IMHO I wonder how Japanese, Chinese, and Korean people think of this show. They watch huge numbers of similar type of dramas, this one was written and produced for a western audience. I know from the Japanese POV that they think that samurai stereotypes (fanatic loyalty, honor, Zen, suicide etc.) are largely exaggerated even in though own media. I like the inclusion of so many Zen Death Poems. It is consistent with a book on Zen Death poetry that I read a while back. Most of these poems were written at the end of life and not before suicide or execution though. A lot of them are brilliant, however the most common 'theme' among Zen Death Poems is how the person basically says that 'death is nothing', merely the next phase after life. There are so many seppeku in the show/story that the later ones has less impact for me. I wonder how a Japanese person would react to this, as this story is written by a Western man. With Mariko she should not be thought of through the 'Western' conception of morality even though she likes christianity

FO 76 seems to have gone the way of Cyber-punk- a lot of work has been done to improve it.

It is a billion-dollar empire and the NFL is worth billions, both give each other good publicity. I am most impressed by the whole Taylor Swift empire and how their business/marketing team managed everything. She is a great performer, is beautiful and has a good presence on stage. I don't think she writes all her music and I think the poetry/music is managed by her and her team. They obviously have a very good understanding of what their demographics want. I tried to find a serious biography on her and her career but so far there isn't any which means that we will not know a more complete tale until years from now. The music itself is mainly poetry about (negative) experiences that is instantly relatable to unmarried women age approx. 15-35, which is her target audience. The lyrics are the key, not so much the (mostly not great) quality of the music itself. It says quite a lot about the issues that women have today. A lot of her sad poetry is basically samsara- being lost in suffering while only reaching the half-way goal of understanding and moving forward/maturity, or not moving forward at all. Saṃsāra - Wikipedia "cycle of aimless drifting, wandering or mundane existence" I wonder what will happen to Taylor's strategy as she gets older, say 40 and 50 years old? The content must change by then to a higher form- I hope it does.

This is pretty good

if I were her husband I would make love to her 6 times a day!

The ending for Shogun came out. Overall, it is good but a bit underwhelming as the showrunners ran out of money and had to truncate the ending (squeeze it all in one episode, omit things, and there is no final battle). The full ending is in the books and a bit from history.
