Wasn't Bilquis a prostitute in the book too? I really prefer the show's take on it either way.

Bryan Fuller is pretty open about being into social justice (in Hannibal he never did sexualized violence or rape, for example) so in addition to the expanded female roster I doubt Wednesday using his god powers to sleep with whoever he wants is going to be in the show.

I dunno, they might take it out because McShane is just too affable a presence but in the book that was the moment that made me finally go "man, Wednesday actually kinda sucks." It's important for that reason at least.

I mean, it's a really obvious spoiler but you should probably mark it anyway.

It's really awesome how when I go "this is a spoiler" people decide to make it loving inescapable by just talking openly about how obvious it is

Then don't bring it up. Don't discuss the book in the thread like the OP asked. If someone says "this is a spoiler by the way, you should spoiler tag this" every time someone talks about something from the show, it's going to get pretty annoying.

I didn't bring it up and I wasn't talking about the book, what the gently caress are you talking about? Asking someone to tag untagged book discussion is "annoying"? Who gives a poo poo?

Read my post again. Telling people who haven't read the books to tag their post because they don't know it's a book spoiler is annoying and, get this, a spoiler.

I read the book a long time ago.

Shut the gently caress up dude, you didn't even read the post I was responding to.

What are the Children described as in the book?

Just opened my copy to that page out of curiosity and they're not, really.

quote:

There were people sitting beside [Shadow], but he could not turn to look at them. . . . He realized that he had not yet got a clear look at either of the people who had been in the back seat with him. He did not know if they were men or women, old or young.
