I remember watching the original mini-series in 1980. it was re-aired in '90 IIRC. I then went and got the book and finished it in 2 weeks. that was my first novel that I read that wasn't from the kids/YA section.

Cosmo Jarvis is playing Blackthorne. he looks like a landlubber.

Oh yeah, I'll be all over this! I read the book and it was awesome then the mini series came out and it didn't disappoint. This should be fire with all they can do now. February can't come fast enough.

I will deficiently watch this. Looks good. Not sure of that main leaders real name but he always plays roles where he is not the lead but I have always liked him in other movies. Believe he was in The Last Samauri and 47 Ronin just to name a couple. Looks like maybe he will be the lead here.

Looks good for sure, but always skeptical of FX. Their shows are usually hit or miss.

yeah he was in both of those movies. Hiroyuki Sanada is his name. he was the lead in The Twilight Samurai. thats a solid samurai flick.

in Shogun, he plays Toranaga. His historical counterpart is Tokugawa. Cosmo Jarvis is most likely the lead, Blackthorne.

I need to read it first, I've always wanted to but every time I start I get distracted.

Have any of you ever read Aztec by Gary Jennings? It's similar historical fiction, but takes place right before Cortez lands on the Yucatan, it follows the story of an Aztec man. It's a huge book but it spends a ton of time exploring Aztec culture. I don't think they could make a show about it though.

Thought the first two episodes were pretty good. The actor playing Yabushige was great as a slimy ladder climber. A few ahistorical things but mostly in the background ie people sitting seiza style when they shouldn't be at that time.

They kind of ruined the 'unless I win' moment though.

I like it so far. I guess their only going to show one episode a week.
