The first half of the episode should probably have been cut down to 5-10 minutes, just felt too long to spend on a story that really wasn't that important or interesting.

Best nut shot ever. It says a lot that the rest of the episode distracted me so much that I kind of forgot about that.

I won't explain the dog, as it could be a spoiler (?) but I think that Death tracked Laura down, as she was supposed to be with him.

How is it a spoiler, it was about as clear as day. With enough imagery of it to sink a battle ship. Anubis... ahh gently caress it.

Yea sorry i think i said it before but i tend to watch this when my newborn wakes up around 4 am. As it soon as i posted i thought maybe i should just watch again awake before posting dumb questions.

But up until now death has only shown up when someone is freshly dead and not being familiar with the source materialI wasn't aware if he chased those who "escape"down or not. So since we don't see Audrey again this episode i was thinking i might've missed her implied death and was looking for confirmation from those smarter or watched the episode not quite as groggy as myself

Yeah, she is fantastic.

Does it make sense that Anubis collects Laura? She had a cat, but... or maybe all the death gods are just in competition for dead folks, like the travel agents in Grim Fandango.

Loved Laura walking down the road with her arm in her hand.

I assume its because since she didn't believe in any gods, none would come to get her. There is an obvious play against shadow using her as leverage.

I'm going out on a limb here and say, Laura's lack on motivation in life and suicide is god inspired to keep her in the right place at the right time. Everything has been engineered to this point, nothing seems accidental.

She worked in a Egyptian themed casino and didn't worship or believe in anything. Anubis got her basically by default.

How can you miss that a guy with a dog steps into the road, the car stops in front of the dog (so it clearly didn't die) and then Anubis stands up? He was the dog. He shows up because he just found where Laura was.

To be fair. The first time Anubis showed up the woman wasn't shown falling off her stool. Until he pointed out the body we, the audience, weren't aware that she was dead.

I don't think his question was a dumb one. Chill out.

What's your point here? We didn't know she was dead yet, yeah, but then he takes her to the afterlife.

I like the idea of Laura. I don't like her because she's unapologetic, selfish, and she hurts good people but I sympathize with her because I've done stupid regrettable poo poo when I was bored and depressed too.

What upsets me the most about her is how she talks back to death.

I dunno, man, seemed pretty legit to me. I'd be pretty pissed off too if Anubis was all "yeah, you're just gonna get annihilated even though I'm clearly telling you that there's an alternative." Seems like a pretty raw deal.

He said something like "the manner of your death means I deal with you." So I guess Anubis is either the god of car crashes or blowjobs?

I was really hoping for a shot of Laura washing her back with her own detached arm in the shower.

e: checked back. The exact quote is "the circumstances of your death commit me."

ee: checked again, "commit me" is right.
