Speaking of losing a testicle, Amazon did a 10-part mini series of "The Man in the High Castle" and released it Thanksgiving week. If you have Amazon Prime, you can watch it for free. Produced by Ridley Scott. Production is as good as most network TV Series, although I often got the sense I was watching a scene shot on a set. Costumes are good. Newsreel footage of the effects on the Heizenberg Device on our lovely SF were interesting.
I read a lot of PKD post-college, and I'm sure I read TMitHC. I was familiar with the alternative history - what if we lost WWII premise, but I couldn't recall any of the characters or story. I binged watched it in a week. It kept my attention.
No sword fights, but Seppaku.
