Greatoneshere Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'd fallen behind on this season and finally caught up - man this season is really firing on all cylinders, first eight episodes of ten have been excellent. Edit: It was also nice that we've finally come back to the two years later opening flashforward from the pilot episode of season 1 where Ken Watanabe and Jake talk to Tozawa's second in command in that hotel high rise place. I was worried the show would never get to that point so that we could enter truly uncharted territory story-wise but episode 8 finally caught up to the Michael Mann-directed pilot. It will be interested to see where things go from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 One more episode to go. Last night's was really amping up the tension and it was nice to have Sato, Jake, Misaki, and Samantha all in a room at the same time. Looking forward to the season finale and to see whether it ends the show or remains open enough for a potential season 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While practically all of the multiple plot threads are coming together, I simply can't fathom how they could be resolved satisfactorily within the confines of a single episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely not everything. Maybe the Tozawa stuff but they definitely can't wrap up Jake's time at the Meicho or Sato's rise in the yakuza or Samantha's messed up life back home with creating a business in Tokyo now.

Greatoneshere Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 That was a great season finale! Everyone is great on the show but the actor playing Tozawa fucking killed it in this episode. They do wrap up and "soft" end a number of plotlines but it's pretty clear the show wants to do another season, which I hope they get. Really well done stuff, and ended on a great and funny note with the meditation scene. We also finally found out who sent Jake that tape in season one. The real Jake Adelstein who wrote the book this is based on has written a couple of other books about Japan and crime, etc. so they do have more stories to tell if they get a chance to.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Well, I'll be damned! They actually did manage to wrap it up satisfactorily! If this season finale does turn out to be the series finale, then I'd say that I'd be totally fine with that and not feel like I'd been cheated from seeing the resolution of this story arc! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 I'd be fine with that as a series finale despite wanting more. Theydefinitely wrapped everything up satisfactorily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted yesterday at 02:12 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:12 AM LTTP on the finale, but yeah. I agree. I was satisfied. Sure, I'll take more, but if this is it, I'm not mad. I read somewhere that a story for a 3rd season is being mapped out just in case they get that renewal call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
