The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 9: Episode 9 For Want of a Nail — A Review

8th December, 2019.


Yes: it’s officially official: I am back at the course, tomorrow.

I’m job hunting, at the moment: and, if you’ve been following me for a while?

You’ll know I’m on a short course designed to improve my employment prospects.

I’m back there, tomorrow: and looking forward to it: as it gets me out of the house.

The real killer?

We have laptops … and our tutor’s decided to get mice for them.

Little things mean a lot.

~≈Î≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s the Sunday night before I go back.

And frankly?

I want to go to bed early … but want to tell you about a TV show.

Yep: you’re right … I’ve seen the ninth episode of The Man in the High Castle’s fourth season.

~≈Î≈~

Episode 9 — Episode 9 For Want of a Nail opens with Bell and Elijah (Frances Turner and Clé Bennett) having serious discussion: Elijah feels the Crown Princess’s bedroom need to be re-purposed.

Whilst Nazi bombers fly over: dropping propaganda leaflets.

Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente)… ?

Is still being held by the BCR: and having hallucinations of his son, as a youngster.

Childan (Brennan Brown), and Yukiko (Chika Kanamoto) are now married.

But split up  by an especially officious guard when trying to flee to Japan

Meanwhile … ?   Juliana (Alexa Davalos) finally gets in touch with Helen: this world’s Helen.

Helen has seen the footage of the alternative Smith family: and wants to know more.

Her husband, Reichsmarshall Smith is in Berlin.   The Führer … ?

Has plans for North America: to expand the Reich, westward.

And has plans for Reichsmarshall Smith.

~≈Î≈~

Now … it has to be said, this is yet another good little episode: one with twists, turns, emotional touches … 

And one hell of a palace coup as an ending.

Frankly?

I know that this series is the last: at least, for now.

But?   I’m keen to see the finale …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
