Mariko x Blackthorne
(spoilers for Shōgun episode 1x09 'Crimson Sky')
I'm still devastated by how gently and tenderly she smiles at him as he's frantically trying for a way out, a way to change their fate. All that love laid bare in her tender gaze. She loves him with an almost unbearable sweetness.
The absolute tenderness held within Mariko's gaze of love for Blackthorne destroyed my heart. I can't even fathom it.

He would have done it.
He would have done it and it's messed up
And it's love.
SPOILER WARNING: Shōgun 1x09 spoilers below cut...
What did it serve? What was the point? They could have all huddled in the back of the room. They could have pushed the smaller objects, the lighter things, in front. I refuse to believe this was the best way her story could have ended. The writers of this show have changed so much they could have changed this one part.
I feel sick to my stomach.
Would her position truly have protected the others? Did her sacrifice truly help anyone?
My response to episode 9:
No no no no no.
Nope.
No.
