I would really love to watch the new Shogun. My first filter -- not too many chicks -- worked! But then... a chick was the 3rd actress listed, so do we have to suffer through a 'strong female character'?
Is she just as good as the men?
Please -- I have a string of hope -- someone tell me that she's just a concubine.
So far it has been pretty faithful to the book. They've obviously had to cut some stuff out, because even a 10-hour season of television is not enough to portray all of the material in a James Clavell doorstopper. But the scene with Mariko picking up the naginata and attacking Ishido's men is in the novel if I recall.
Yeah, and it's not like she managed to kill any of them.
