#tagomi

This took a long long long time to make with my computer screaming “why?” as it overheated, but you know? I think it was worth it.

Am in the process of making another vid, that has a completely different tone than this one, but I wanted to explore those bone-chilling moments the series was full of (also, Rufus Sewell’s damn eyes 😭 ). Had trouble coming up with a name for this one: thought of Necessary, Duty, or In a Box. Stuck with Necessary.

okay i just finished season 3.

i would say it was a good season, almost really good. probably feel the same with all the netflix/amazon prime shows because the entire season comes out at once and you watch the whole thing so it feels like it passes too quickly and there is no time to process after every episode and its true.

okay so the entire helen and john storyline this season i loved. i can understand why she ran at the end because as long as he is in that position they are gonna have to be stepping on eggshells all the time and killing to protect their girls. however i hate that she left john alone. he is going through a ton of shit right now and he needs her.

himmler being shot at the end was such a surprise i was not expecting that i loved it i hope he dies from it but i have a feeling that he’s gonna survive and just be even more vengeful and want to get rid of any american history. also what a great distraction from asking john to keep his family in line since now im sure he has bigger things to worry about.

rip frank. tbh i was half surprised that he survived the explosion in the first place and his story was sweet all about redemption for what he did and i’d like to think he found peace in the end. kido as well.

tagomi needs to live. im sick of people trying to kill him. he is so vital to everything regarding travelers he has all the knowledge i was sad that his and john’s conversation ended so quickly i was hoping they would dive deeper into parallel worlds but no chance.

ed and jack. my babies. both of them need to live they need to carry on franks message. robert, sigh. im so 50/50 with him because its partly his fault that frank is dead but also he stepped up in the end so thats good.

poor nicole holy fuck she’s gonna have to go through the same as joe. her and thelma were so cute together i loved that relationship i feel sorry for them.

the man in the high castle. love him. he’s my spirit animal. his attitude is everything. i hope he survives season 4.

i cant think of anything else so im gonna get onto the topic i am so heartily avoiding. joe blake. that conversation between juliana and john confirmed the only reasonable argument i could find of why she could kill him, that he was no longer her joe. its the hunger games all over again sigh. doesn’t make it hurt any less.

i dont want to drone on i may even make a seperate post about the many reasons why i hated joe’s death besides you know, loving his character.

but long story short, he didn’t need to die. i accept it however because it follows to the exact measurement of how his death happens in the book, fine. but his death was truly a waste of a character who had so much potential and it has left a gap that will be hard almost impossible to fill. ps, thanks Luke for everything.

(I am so sorry if there are english mistakes, I am french)

In the second season, we have seen a new world, possibly ours. In this one, Juliana is married to Tagomi's son and Tagomi has disappeared.

We also know that Kotomichi, Tagomi's man of confidence, came from that world (because of the bomb in Nagasaki).

Third fact : in the last episode we saw, Trudy is alive. Even if we saw her dead body in the first season.

I was wondering : how is all of that possible ? How can we travel in different universes ?

And then, I had an idea.

To join an other universe, you have to be dead in this one. Which makes sense because you can't risk seeing yourself, right ?

Indeed :

→ Tagomi travels in our world. Juliana tells him that she though he killed himself (which is probably true because it is not the right Tagomi she's talking with)

→ Kotomichi survives Nagasaki and comes to The Man in the High Castle universe. He says to Tagomi that he finds his family alive. If that family is not shocked by having two sons, it's probably because the Kotomichi of that world is dead. It's more easy to came back from the dead than to confront a double.

→ The Trudy we see in the last episode is the Trudy from an other universe. Indeed, if Trudy from TMITHC is dead, the door is open for a double. Maybe that's explain what she says in the first episode « I found the reason of everything ».

Anyway, we'll know more soon with the third season, can't wait !
