John Smith states he has some family business to deal with in Montana and we cut to see his wife and two daughters with what appears to be her brother living a ‘normal’ life in Montana. The implication is left open that the GNR may have killed Tagomi and that now would be a good time to strike Japan and reunify America under one common flag, that of the GNR.
John Smith is present in the attack on Denver and discusses with an old US Army friend, current Nazi soldier, how Japan is losing a war in China as well as a rebellion by a Black Communist Movement within the Japanese Pacific States (JPS). We then see that the fighters that destroyed the Statue of Liberty at the end of Season 3 actually appear to be VTOL capable aircraft which are quite modern for the 1960s. It was an interesting battle scene as you get to see in action the Nazi weapons (MP5s and what look like modern day HIND attack choppers) versus resistance fighters kitted out in what was the US Army standard. The fighting is intense with Wyatt Price’s resistance fighters being mostly destroyed with the exception of him and Lem. The viewer is shown a battle in Denver where the Greater Nazi Reich(GNR) is advancing, it seems in an attempt to not only crush resistance but also to destroy a cache of films that had been shown to bolster resistance fighter numbers. The general implication is that the army may have had something to do with the death of Tagomi. The Crown Princess makes statements that she will continue his life’s work to strive for peace and it seems that an Army General is at odds not only with her but with Imperial Navy Admiral who seems to agree with her sentiment. For one I found his death to be quite sad as I always found his character and by extension his actor to be quite compelling. This funeral is revealed in flash backs to be for Tagomi. We then see a funeral, one year later, in what looks to be Japan attended to by the Crown Princess and Inspector Kido.
Her initial fear is immediately assuaged whens he sees Thomas as in her timeline Thomas had turned himself over for execution due to having a medical defect that requires his being terminated. In a interesting turn of events she is discovered by John Smith and his son, Thomas, in what appear to be our current timeline. The episode starts off where Season 3 left off with Juliana Crain being shot by John Smith just prior to her transitioning to a new universe. With some downtime from my responsibilities I am hoping to be able to review the season as well as some other shows. I have been wanting to both watch and review Season 4 of The Man in the High Castle since it came out but one thing or another always seemed to get in the way.
