• A Pug’s Life

    I have never really understood why people like pug dogs. They seem to me ugly, they run to fat, and because of their pushed-in snouts and widely spaced eyes, they are inexpressive. They have difficulty breathing, like a fat man trying to sleep on his back. Between breathing and choking, there is for them but […]

    Given the past few episodes, I was expecting more of a showstopper-style finale in which a bunch more characters would die, or maybe someone would seek some kind of retribution for Mariko’s death. But no. This is more of a denouement of an episode, a processing of things, and a subtle setting-up of the future to come for these characters. Oh, and Yabushige loses his goddamn mind—and head.
