That was everything I'd hoped it would be. I was a big on mythology when the book came out, which was why I picked it up in the first place. The Bilquis scene stuck with me and it was the first thing I thought of when I heard they were making this show. I'm glad it made it in, in all of its glory. I was surprised by how much I liked Mad Sweeney. I don't recall enjoying his character as much in the book. I'm really due for a reread.

poo poo, yeah, it's good they cut that out. That would have just come off as distracting and strange.KilGrey posted:He's unfortunately not in the book much and I really hope that's a change they made in this adaptation. Like, if just once an episode he could come out, pull some coins out of the air with panache and get in a fight, that would be fine with me. I don't think it could get old. Definitely. I like Pablo Schreiber, so I'd be happy with this. ETA: I almost missed it, but I was happy with what we got of Demore Barnes. right to bear karma fucked around with this message at 08:14 on May 1, 2017 |

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Nobody gonna talk about how she kicked that dude in the nuts and busted him in half? Best nut shot ever. It says a lot that the rest of the episode distracted me so much that I kind of forgot about that.

Entropic posted:It saddens me that people think of him as Pornstache and not Nicky Sobotka.  Though Pornstache was funny and Nicky was tragic, so I can see why. Mad Sweeney just continues to be bizarrely hot.

Anytime I see Ian McShane in anything, I just think of Swearengen and his EB Farnum impression.

Crow Jane posted:I read a Christopher Pike book in like fifth grade that was about Greek goddesses possessing a couple modern day girls, or something? One of them tried to kill the other by putting ground up glass in hamburger meat, because nineties tween girl lit was Immortal, right? I think that was one of the first Pike books I read as a kid. Lotta stone cold death going on in his books, even after he got all New Age.

counterfeitsaint posted:I was such a dumb oblivious kid in middle school. It never occurred to me how hosed up those books were until I looked up at my parents faces after I finished reading my book report to them. It was the one where the high school perv timed a camera to take pics of the girls locker room shower and accidentally took pictures of a murder. Also cocaine was involved somehow. Just remembered the book where the protagonist is killed while getting an abortion by the spirit of her fetus who was the reincarnation of the school outcast. Slightly less off topic, there was also a book where the heroine gives birth to an incarnation of Kali while some other kid who is a reincarnation of Jesus/Krishna is running around.
