The Problematic of the Unproblematic

Trotwood: This is the episode where I coin the phrase Baby Terrorist (BT) and wish it were truly ironic and not so scary and sad, especially when a BT speaks such truths. Panda: Sigh

Trotwood:This is the episode where I try to think what/who would be my lighthouse light. Panda: I keep wracking my brains as to where I have seen Satomi before and I. Don't. Want. To . Google. Urgh

The episode where I openly route for gangsters. Na do!!! This episode made me quite angry.

The episode where I learn there is a spray that can detect explosives . This was quite a sad episode.

Where we are forced to ask ourselves who/what causes terrorism. These type of episodes hurt in a different way because it's easy to see how anyone can fall into the pit.

Trotwood: I am very proud of myself because the draft of this recap is 976 words shorter than the last draft. I may be able to cut even more here. Panda told me not to worry about it, but I do want people to read these recaps, which means I can't always be the most long winded person in this blog. Opening with a random picture of Hidetoshi Nishijima would get me to read anything, but I know it won't work with most people. Panda: The fact that you actually calculated and know the difference in word count between recap 1 and this just takes me out😃😃😃😃. Besides I am 100% sure you are not the only one who would follow Nishijima into fire.

It was on my radar because I am a fan of Shun Oguri, but the show also made me an immediate fan of Hidetoshi Nishijima as many of you who read this blog already know. Hidetoshi Nishijima is now forever known as Trot's bae😀. It's so funny, but I didn't know this was where your love affair started. I started this cos of Shuuuuun! But I also came away with a huge liking for the entire team especially TB. It’s written by an award winning author, Kazuki Kaneshiro, who also wrote Border (starring Shun) and Caution, Hazardous Wife (in which Hidetoshi Nishijima plays the husband). Both of these shows are on my list of shows I’d like to recap for the blog. I had no idea that they were all written by the same person. Are...
