The Complete Guide to The Man in the High Castle Season 3 – Premiering 10/5
WW2 historian Paul K. DiCostanzo breaks down Amazon’s upcoming The Man in the High Castle season 3, and the hidden WW2 history driving it.
Ed McCarthy & Robert Childan: The Man in the High Castle Odd Couple
Amazon Studios Entertainments best odd couple in decades.
This absolutely perfect odd couple is on their way to the Neutral Zone, but do not expect them to necessarily arrive.
The audience clearly sees Frank Frink’s bombing of the Kempeitai HQ in San Fransisco, while Ed McCarthy (DJ Qualls) and Robert Childan (Brennan Brown) are on the bridge crossing the bay. Given the circumstances of such a high profile assassination attempt of all the top Japanese military commanders in the Pacific States, you best believe no one is leaving their territory with ease.
As known associates of Frank, both Childan and Ed have immediately become person’s of interest for the Kempeitai. If they manage to escape what should be a massive dragnet following the bombing, it’s unfathomable to conclude they won’t be taken into custody.
Once in the hands of the Kempeitai, one can only hope both characters escape with the whole skin. If they do, the price exacted by the Japanese authorities will be exceptionally high. Realistically, they could both also simply face summary execution, despite how poor of a turn that would be for two characters that have become very endeared to the audience.
The Man in the High Castle writers have done a magnificent job bringing forth two awesome characters, and bonding them despite all their mutually antithetical quirks and faults. We haven’t seen the last of these two gentlemen but both are a long way from being safe.
If being safe is one’s primary objective, a quest for truth is an unacceptable risk. For Nobusuke Tagomi, his quest for truth seems a most perilous path The Man in the High Castle Season 3 will build upon.
