The Man In The High Castle: Season 4 (Final Season)




I am not finished with the final season yet--but so far so good. Seems like a good way to end this exploration of the multi-verse world where the Nazis and Imperial Japanese won WWII in this alternative universe (and presumably how they eventually lose--albeit 18 years later).  While the series has focused on Juliana Crain and Trade Minister Tagomi--the primary character that things will turn on in Season 4 will be John Smith. Inspector Kido also has issues to work out. 

Yeah there a few PC touches--such as lingering shots of the border wall between the Greater Nazi Reich and the Neutral Zone (I wonder what the message there was). Getting past that: I was a fan of the original book (one of Dick's best and least dated to read now) and the Amazon adaptation. 

It remains considerably better than Watchmen (which seemed ok at first but so far has been disappointing--other than that weird baby swamp) and His Dark Materials (which so far is just boring and depressing).

Elon Musk: The Man And His Dream

I like Elon Musk (even if I disagree with him on some issues) and do not want to tease him too badly. I am going to guess today was not one of his best. Musk obviously has some demons plaguing him right now and it is not exactly good times at Tesla.

Bella Heathcote: Man In The High Castle, Season 2

I was not particularly interested in the Rogue One opening last night, but I was looking forward to Season 2 of Man In The High Castle coming back for streaming on Amazon. I have seen the first five episodes, and so far, that the new season is excellent.

Rotten Tomatoes has mixed but generally good reviews. I concur that the writing shows a more complex side to the characters.

Australian actress Bella Heathcote plays Nicole Becker, a young women in Berlin who is obviously sent to help persuade Joe Blake to join his connected Nazi father Reichsminister Martin Hausmann (who is also busy on the engineering of draining the Mediterranean Sea). These photos don't really capture it, Ms. Heathcote is very good in this show (most of the photos below are also earlier in her career). She is not in a lot of scenes, but those she is she steals.

Amazon's Man In The High Castle with bonus Alexa Davalos


I really liked Phillip K. Dick's alternative universe novel answering the question what if the Nazis and Japanese won WWII. For some reason I missed the initial pilot run back in January.  The Amazon adaptation (at least so far) seems like a very decent adaptation. For TV and streaming the production values are high, and while certainly not perfect (this criticism on the language in the video series is fair compared to Dick's novel), it worked for me. I am looking forward to the rest of the season in November.
