I was just going to ask when it might show up on amazon/starz (yay free trial) and apparently the answer is right the gently caress now. So, yay.

"With panache"


Alright yeah this is good.


edit now that i've actually finished the first episode:

I've read the book, but it's been 10 (or more) years since then so there's a nice mix of "oh that looks perfect" and "i don't remember that, is that new?". I'm seriously looking forward to next week and hope it stays as awesome as the first one was.


And just a heads up: the next episode preview has some major spoilers, so avoid that if you're particularly spoiler adverse.

Like I said, before the Marvel movies nobody knew who that person was.

Eh, if you were reading the book because you were a Gaiman fan you sure did.

The way they've redone Technical Boy is so good.

I don't even know what he looked like in my mind before because now that's what he always looked and acted like.

Is it really synthetic when there seemed to be an actual frog in the drat thing?

Oh poo poo they release it early? Do you know if Amazon Starz subscribers get it?

Yes indeed that's where i watch it. It comes out at Midnight Eastern on saturday night/sunday morning and i watched it at 9 Pacific.
It feels vaguely illicit somehow, but it sure is cool.

Good news for the thread about the American Gods TV show - the 5th episode is live on my cable on demand. I haven't checked, but I would assume it's also on Starz Play and all other cable providers.

It is and it appears to be jumbo sized.

e: at first i just posted it because it made me laugh, but now that i watch it loop i realize and love that there are a lot of emotions from the both of them in such a tiny little timespan. Good stuff.

So what the heck was that plant thing in the police station at the end? It looked like a wood knothole turned into an eye, and then a root shot out of the eye and grew up through the lady cop. And then attacked Shadow. That doesn't seem thematic with Media, Tech Boy, or Mr. World, from what we've seen.

No idea, i think that's going to be a "keep watching" moment.


I feel bad for that lady cop, she thought she thought she was going to learn some Cool and Weird poo poo and instead learned that gods and humans intersecting doesn't always turn out so well for mortals.

Ya know, it's funny; last night right after finishing the episode i wasn't feeling overly positive about it, but now as i think back (and read about scenes here and elsewhere) i feel like i like it a lot more. Still not as strong as some of the others, but not by as big of a margin.


Maybe i was just in a lousy tv-watchin mood, who knows?

awesome. great.

Kristin Chenoweth, the actress who plays Germanic goddess of the dawn Easter on the series, spoke to Variety about her status for the show possibly changing. She says it's Fuller who asked her to join the series, given their shared history on the show Pushing Daisies. "When Bryan was the showrunner, I was coming back for several episodes, but I don't know now," she says. "It depends on who it is and if they think I add value or not
