Or maybe you can find some bad tigers in American Gods and talk about it here. cool meltdown

I watched the new episode last night and the rote recitation of "and then she met this dude and they banged and then something bad happened to her and then she met this other dude and they banged" for an hour was not entertaining I don't doubt that it pays off later in some form or another but oh wow this episode was slowly putting a foot on the brakes before the season finale

I thought the latest episode was fine until the end. We're supposed to just buy off that a "god" that has lived for at least a couple hundred years with a memory (history?) stretching back far further and with a mythos of screwing over people (up to and including killing them) is going to be guilt tripped into giving up the item that he has to get back at all costs after it was just handed to him on a silver platter? I get the symbolism but that whole scene was just stupid and contradictory to the entire theme of the show.

The "Hannibal-drums" and trumpet noises are much appreciated in AG and perfectly fit the aesthetic! On top of that, Brian Reitzell has a golden ear for picking out the perfect song for any occasion, he's almost on Quentin Tarantino's level. During Hannibal he demonstrated an amazing knowledge of classical music that you'd never heard of, and made great judgement calls on whether or not they needed to be tweaked and adjusted to fit the scene. Got love-making scenes with a blind woman? Use piano solos to emphasize how she's using her hands to explore her lover's body. Brilliant! This past episode of AG, I love how he decided every song in a story set the 1700's would be 1950's doo-wop. It's weird, its anachronistic, I have no idea if it makes any thematic sense, but man it just feels so right for some reason. I really really appreciate his judgement even more after watching Handmaid's Tale. Whoever's picking out off the shelf songs there is so tone deaf by comparison.

I get the symbolism but that whole scene was just stupid and contradictory to the entire theme of the show. That's exactly the point, though! While he did many bad things to Essie, as she said at the end "You did me many a good turn," to which he admits "more than a few bad, as well." The guilt-trip is that he has been nothing but bad luck to Laura. He has taken and taken from her and given nothing back. It's that memory of Essie that reminds him that he isn't evil, just fickle. He gives her back the coin because he realizes that he needs to bring Laura some good luck to balance out the bad for him to "earn" his coin back.  edit: it's also a juxtaposition between the Old Gods and the New Gods...the Old Gods feel that they have to give something back to the people while the New Gods view them simply as a mana source.

They're just as likely to do you a favor as they are to try and ruin you.

Also wasn't the whole point of that coin that it had to be given of the current owner's free will? Laura hadn't willingly given the coin up, so it would have just found it's way back to her anyway.

I viewed the scene as Sweeney willingly gave it back to her until he felt like he deserved it back (cued by her willingly giving it up). Getting it back via another misfortune directed at Laura was wrong to him. I couldn't tell, but was his Lucky Coin the one Essie gave him in the field?

I get the symbolism but that whole scene was just stupid and contradictory to the entire theme of the show. I didn't read Sweeney as suffering an attack of pity for Laura, more that he was still on his "gently caress you, Wednesday" kick, and knew this is exactly what he wouldn't want.

Yeah, I got the impression that getting her killed once could be considered mischief, but the second time you kill someone in a car accident... it's not really bad luck.

When Sweeny is first trying to get his coin back from Laura he says "It's a coin you give a king." While this is true, we should also recall that Sweeny himself was apparently a king in the Old Country, and the coin was all the money Essie had when she gave it to him. So one could argue that it was given to a king, then given to Shadow who may be a king(?), and thence to Laura who may be a descendant or reincarnation or whatever of Essie, bringing the circle to a close. Which means Sweeny really, really needs Laura to give it back to him willingly to start a new circle, methinks.

Might be true, but I much prefer leaning on the idea that Sweeney is doing it out of a sense of morals than out of an obligation to follow rules and laws edit: it makes it funnier that she punches him for it Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Jun 14, 2017 |
