Anyway, the main stinker is the lead Caucasian, he's no Richard Chamberlain and I didn't recall his character being so confused from the original, never mind the total lack of chemistry between him and Mariko, she falls for him outta nowhere.

Oh wow I thought Cosmo Jarvis was one of the surprises this season. He and Mariko have been awesome! Hated each other, fell for each other, society/religious pressure pulls them apart, they go their own way, now back for each other. Great stuff.
I'm not looking for action all the time and this show hasn't been that at all and there hasn't been a bad one yet.This one was just predicable and mailed in for me. NO good dialogue which is a strong point of the show. Ochiba had some epic facial acting but that's about it. Now there is SOOOOOO much to cram into the last one or it will be an incomplete story. Maybe if it's 1.5 hours they can do it but I don't think it is.
