Fending off the urge
2nd season would just be a documentary. They practically spoiled who won at the end of the series

Well, they showed us what Toranaga thought (dreamed) would happen.2nd season would just be a documentary. They practically spoiled who won at the end of the series
2nd season could be about what happens after he becomes Shogun. Or could jump ahead in time to another crisis. It obviously wouldn't be about his path to being Shogun, because that's what this season was. He won - that's what we saw.2nd season would just be a documentary.

Depends on whether you have the stomach for it.Then I remember that Yabu is gone... Okay yeah there's probably no point. Unless we bring him back. What's the survival rate for seppuku/decapitation anyway?
Some people lose their heads completely.Depends on whether you have the stomach for it.
They should hire the Game of Thrones creators. They thrive when there's no more source material.
Well, the Battle of Sekigahara has not happened just yet. A lot also happened in the years after the real Toranaga - Ieyasu Tokugawa became Shogun, ranging from gaining a firmer grip on power, deteriorating relations with the Catholics, the arrival of English East India Company in 1613, and a lot more. And if you read enough about the real Anjin - William Adams and his service for the Tokugawa Shogunate, I say there is more than enough material to use and dramatize as a canvas for a brand new season.Oh ffs. Leave it alone, you twats
Mariko brought back to life in episode 1 and we get Marikobowl where she fights her mate"I don't want it (a new ship)"
"He's my Shogun!"
"Actually, I never cared about Mariko"
"Toranaga kind of just forgot about the Portuguese fleet"
"Buntaro is now Master of Coin"

It's not the point I'm making at all. I know there is material there and many real life events to draw from but this was conceived as a 1 season show and based closely on the books. This risk is we get a GOT style drop in quality in the absence of strong source material. S1 was so good it would be hard to follow up anyway even if there was a book to vase it on, so S2 is bound to be a disappointment especially when we no longer have three strong characters.Well, the Battle of Sekigahara has not happened just yet.

Agreed. As long as Sanada is onboard I'm confident!I'm actually okay with this, because I don't really have any relationship with the source material. If it turns out good, that's great! If it turns out bad, I'll just not watch it. It's not going to completely ruin an entire book series for me, like GoT did for A Song of Ice and Fire.
Up yours Game of Thrones for not having Lady Stoneheart on the show.Resurrected Mariko at the helm of the Portuguese fleet levels Osaka to the ground
They definitely missed a trick there. Still wouldn't have saved the show.Up yours Game of Thrones for not having Lady Stoneheart on the show.
Wowzer.Renewed for seasons 2 and 3.

It's real. The article in Empire alludes to other books in Clavell's bibliography.I only remember the original not seen the new one yet - from memory is there no source material for the following seasons?
Ah so (no pun) they will move on from the setting then. That sounds more promising.It's real. The article in Empire alludes to other books in Clavell's bibliography.
No there's no more source material for the characters in Shogun. There is an outline of what follows and most were based on historical characters but his other books were set in different time periods/locations.I only remember the original not seen the new one yet - from memory is there no source material for the following seasons?
They could keep some of the dead ones around with flashbacks and the like.There's a lot of story still still to be told to be fair. If we didn't know this was based on a book that's done, it's well set up for further seasons and we'd be fully expecting it.
Difficult after losing a couple of the best characters and diversion from source material rarely goes well, but its success should attract some good talent, all depends on the writing.
Yeah that's got potential. They absolutely need a few new main characters though and I don't imagine its the easiest show to cast for.They could keep some of the dead ones around with flashbacks and the like.
But Sanada has signed on for both seasons, so it sounds to me like they are doing a direct sequel, and just working with Clavell's family to honour the original book.It's real. The article in Empire alludes to other books in Clavell's bibliography.
