So, it's spot the David Bowie lyrics this week on American Gods.  I got: Oh, You Pretty Thing[s] - the same You've got your transmission and your live wire - Rebel Rebel Your circuit's dead - Space Oddity Take a look at [the lawman] beating up the wrong guy - Life on Mars? [It's the] terror [of] knowing what [this] world is about - Under Pressure Putting out fire with gasoline - Cat People Starm[a]n - the same edit: Also, that motel's got some big-rear end bathrooms and the bathtub looked like an ashtray. And More fucked around with this message at 16:54 on May 28, 2017 |

Oh, my other favorite quote from the new episode: "You're a loving rear end in a top hat, Dead Wife!" So ready for a spinoff featuring just those two. Vegas roadtrip with Laura and Sweeney!

Dead Wife continues to be a complete waste of time. Putting the main story on hold just to they can do 1½ episodes on her just seems like a bad idea this early on, hopefully she will go away for a while now. What is Mr. World supposed to be the god of?

Laura is awesome and continues to be the best thing in this show not named Mad Sweeney. Nevermind that focusing on her specifically is important for fully realizing how hosed their relationship actually was. And globalism, probably.

Mr. World talks about Gods as all being united in the same industry (the salsa monologue) which would indicate that he's interested in bringing all the Gods to work together and harvest as much belief as possible. Whether he is a God himself or not didn't seem at all clear.

Remember how they wanted to cast The Rock as Shadow? Am I the only one who noticed that the lighting, framing and makeup in the police interrogation room scenes made Ricky Whittle look almost identical to The Rock? The first time I noticed it, I didn't think much of it, but every time it cut to him in those scenes he bore a striking resemblance, even in his body language.

I kind of assumed someone would point out all the things I'd missed.  Then you might also not recognise the Life on Mars suit Media is wearing.     It's a fairly detailed recreation of the original, down to the tie. The shoes are maybe not quite right, and it all seems slightly too shiny, but that could also just be the lighting. The background music gives me a slight China Girl-vibe with the chorus going Oo-oo-o. I'm not sure, though. And More fucked around with this message at 23:13 on May 28, 2017 |

Whether he is a God himself or not didn't seem at all clear. The episode is airing, so I'll go all-in on this: pretty sure he is the "god" of the NWO/globalism. Black helicopters, MiBs, and shadow governments, with an NSA-tinge to update it for the last decade. Their pitch to Wednesday was cool, but I think they should have tried to hit him with documentaries instead of a new DPRK-missile named after him. Probably would have gone for people worshiping the "old" him. Kithkar posted:Okay, that Raven scene was the best. Anybody check the credits? Was it Bran?

Which, it was supposed to distract you at first, but notice later on Wednesday says "Merger? Sounds more like Exile to me" Get it? They're acting like they're being nice, giving Wednesday platitudes, but really they're trying to give him the boot. Make him an ex-American god in exchange for giving him a nice bootstrap somewhere else. It means they win, they control America and all its worship. He's not about to give that up, so it was never a serious offer of "merger". They can't offer him documentaries because they do NOT want him getting more strength in America. They want him gone. The missile was basically like putting him on a boat to another country.

Aesop Poprock posted:Sandman would be so much harder to pull off than American Gods. It's much more scattered and well, dreamlike and doesn't always follow a continuing plot and the gods are all kind of their own little thing. Dream's connection to his siblings are more backstories and how they are in the current form than they are plot points. I'd say give it a go if they can figure it out but American Gods is a main plot with flavor scenes added. Sandman is a lot of flavor scenes with a main plot loosely tying them together. That's a pretty challenging thing to pull off without changing how it feels. I want a TV show about Death. It can be an anthology, or not. I think it'd fit TV a lot better than Sandman. Or Lucifer, for that matter.

(Also the Raven trying to warn Odin?) Also yeah: Great episode, great show.

And More posted:So, it's spot the David Bowie lyrics this week on American Gods. Oh this is brillant. I got Starman, Gasoline and Pretty Things only but each one gave me thrills. For me the episode that puts this in must-watch territory. non-book reader chat: So The World is meant to represent globalisation/NWO with his tech & media cronies; that's a fantastic antagonist, I love it. Now whats Wednesday really standing for, you think? Low tech, slow time, nature (thunder evidently a portrayal of), could even go as far as the circle of life, birth/death being intertwined. Would lead to serious opposition for the new Gods. And thematic dynamite. Especially if Shadow Moon's supposed to represent the American Spirit (can't think of anything right for him really), where's it supposed to fit in between those two? Show's moving along fast enough and I'm quite excited about it after this reveal.

You know, I think what I'm enjoying the most about this show right now are the performances. It's almost like every character is doing his best to steal the show. Laura is a character I'm having a shitload of fun following. Gillian Anderson is glamorous and every time she cosplays someone different I cheer inside. Bruce Langley is doing a fantastic job as Jeff K. Ian McShane is being great. Did I mention Gillian Anderson because holy gently caress.
