Shogun - Episode 3 - Tomorrow Is Tomorrow - REACTION - First Time Watching 

The Blackthorne/Rodriguez banter in this episode is everything. Also, Fuji-sama is number one. She is precious, and she must be protected at ALL COSTS. Many of us feel extremely protective of her 😅

One of my favorite episodes. All episodes are great

In the book, Captian Ferreira wanted custody of Blackthorne in order to torture and kill him. Blackthorne was actually on the Black Ship, and they fed him (he was starving for European food) and got him drunk as well. When Rodriguez clued in to what was going to happen, he had him tossed overboard on the pretext of sobering him up, knowing that Blackthorne could swim, thereby ensuring that he could get back to his ship. That's when they raced toward the Harbor mouth and crashed through the barricade of fishing boats.

The script only goes from good to better.

The Taiko's wife is Dayoin, the Buddhist Nun who tried to talk Toranaga into taking power and becoming Shogun in the first episode. She's the Wife. Lady Ochiba is the younger beautiful woman with the sus facial expressions from the 2nd episode. Ochiba is the Taiko's Consort, and the woman who gave the Taiko a son. Mother of the Heir, she was his Consort, not his Wife. (He could have taken any number of wives, as Toranaga has, but wives were for political alliances, and Consorts were for other reasons. (Yes, sex, but also an economic role in helping the Wife to run the household and the properties of their Lord.)

Enjoyed your reaction, thanks.

23:44 "Hatamoto. What does that mean?". Hatamoto translates to Flagman or Guardian of the Banner. It is a high ranking samurai serving a feudal lord. He has audience rights to his lord. A hatamoto is expected to die in the service of his lord. Either by dying in battle or committing seppuku alongside his lord when he surrenders.

This is the kind of show I love! Nothing happens for an hour and still at the end I’m left speechless.

nautical jokes and swears 😆
