I wonder what the author's definition of 'explicit' is then.

Visible genitals. People who care that deeply about explicit content tend to be... weird like that. A still shot of an erect penis doing nothing would be considered "more explicit" than what we saw.

That title sequence was weirdly ripped-off from Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Odd.

I think "slow panning over multiple images and objects" is vague enough that no one has a claim on it, and probably existed before 2011.

I think it's because the songs sound similar.

But the AG one is original enough IMO.

Haha Dexter really stands out among these. Even in the intro everything about it reeks of a lovely novel you would (not) buy at an airport.

I just meant in terms of the music which is exceptionally similar vOv Of course I've seen other titles sequences in that vein. The combination is what stood out to me.

First episode was interesting but possibly too self-indulgent to be actually engrossing. Leprechaun was brilliant though. Gonna be interesting to see how it all progresses, it's been years since I read the book.

this episode has an incredible opening, the rest slightly falters after it but everything zorya and czernobog (with his monologue) are great. also we get to see gillian anderson say that line, finally

bilquis scene is, uh, it's good but at one point gets sillier than last week's

spoilers this episode has big dicks

He's a loving god.

Also did you miss where he mentioned farming indigo for white men's purple suits in his speech? Wearing the suit was a symbol. He has what they want. He's playing them. He's a showman.

It makes all kinds of sense dude. Symbolism.

Indigo is used to make blue dye, not purple.

Purple dye is made from snails/whelks, for at least 2000 years before the scene on the ship.

Not that the audience knew or cared. Same with "police", "tobacco", "cancer" etc. terms that likely meant nothing to this particular audience in the 17th century.

He was saying what he needed to say to get them to sacrifice. Even if it meant stretching the truth.

Divinities in Neil Gaiman works don't tend to play by the standard mortal concept of linear time. There's tons of poo poo like that in the Sandman.

Yeah, file it under: "Anansi is a god, and particularly shifty, tricky and hard to pin down one at that." He just doesn't quite work under the same rules we do.

He also mentioned events in the future. Maybe Anansi has some kind of supernatural powers?!

It's another typecast role for Peter Stormare but he so great at playing sinister unsettling characters.

I loved what they did with the rest of the TV screens when Gillian was on - just stopped dead and looked at Shadow. It's a subtle way to do sinister.
