Samurai Jack

[Spark Of Spirit]

At this point I'd jump on a complete series box. I never got around to the original show and my tastes have changed enough that I really do appreciate it a lot now.

I wrote another Samurai Jack article purely as an excuse to make a Tarkovsky/Tartakovsky joke.

Good essay! Ashi's character served a lot of purposes, but it often felt like her role as a plot device overshadowed her actual character development. That's one thing that makes the ending a little unsatisfying for me, since Ashi's death really hammers home that she was only a tool to get Jack back on his feet and back to the past, and the character development she received didn't end up being as important as her relationship to Jack and how she affected him.

I rewatched the first Season 5 episode a day or two ago. Even more visually stunning than I remember. Just a perfect season opener.

That's what I've been waiting for.

I'm definitely picking up season 5, probably on Blu. Since I already own 3/4 of the original series, not to mention how outlandish the price is (but that's MSRP- it'll definitely lower when it ships), I'll pass on the set and just try to find the right time to order season 2.

Good excuse as any for me to experience Blu-Ray.

Season 5 has four juried Emmy nominations.

Good, hope it wins all of them.

I read it. I am pretty sure they mean individuals won and they received the awards yesterday.
