They haven't exactly been trying to make it a surprise, they had Media offer Wednesday warheads with ODIN stamped on the side a few eps ago. Tonight's scene was about Shadow finally believing, not us.

Also probably a little bit about making sure anyone as thick as this guy is fully up to speed

Well, yes and no. We're left to doubt the power that Wednesday might still wield, as does Shadow. The final name bit is more about cementing just what a god can do with the power of a devout follower.

I also loved the look he gave Laura at the end. Now that he has faith, that he believes, he can start wrapping his head around Laura being back. That it's not some trick or delusion, she is truly back and maybe there's a future for them.

Google and read some Anansi stories and come back to the voice/acting he does in this. It's pretty much perfect.

Random thoughts:

I grumbled a little bit at the pre-production naming Jeremy Davies, a white non-jewish guy, as Jesus Prime, but then I remembered that this is about how Jesus is perceived in America

I enjoyed that Odin runs over rabbits and smirks, which had to be a contrast to how Laura got herself killed trying to avoid killing one rabbit

I was amused Jesus was visually coded to be "drinking" away his sorrows in a bar, except in a pool full of water. I suppose they made a calculated decision not to have Jesus turn the water into wine... not only would people get upset about the portrayal of Jesus getting drunk, but anything he said to Shadow would be hard to take seriously

Rabbit poops jelly beans :3:

Fun fact: I worked on the WB lot when Pushing Daisies was filming. Kristin would ride around on a bike almost as tall as she was (all 5-ish feet of her) with a handlebar basket for her dog. She's about as adorable and sweet as you can imagine. Cannot confirm nor deny status as an actual fairy.

gently caress yes. This was probably my favorite music moment of the show so far outside of the theme. Pretty incredible that it's an original instead of a licensed piece.
