On top of that, in some interview Fuller said he wanted the imagery of Bilquis to be more empowering for women, which is why Bilquis gets on top, is not a prostitute, and preys on a guy who completely worships her joyfully even before she asks him to.

Does that mean there'll be equal amounts of space dicks and space vaginas?

Just to reiterate I wasn't kidding here, they actually did this.

I mean, we're talking about a guy who thinks (Nightmare scene from Hannibal season 3 spoilers) a heart made of flesh transforming into a stag, and striding towards the protagonist should be done with practical effects.

So, it's spot the David Bowie lyrics this week on American Gods. :allears:

I got:
Oh, You Pretty Thing[s] - the same
You've got your transmission and your live wire - Rebel Rebel
Your circuit's dead - Space Oddity
Take a look at [the lawman] beating up the wrong guy - Life on Mars?
[It's the] terror [of] knowing what [this] world is about - Under Pressure
Putting out fire with gasoline - Cat People
Starm[a]n - the same


edit: Also, that motel's got some big-rear end bathrooms and the bathtub looked like an ashtray.

And here I thought she was just being overly poetic. I need to catch up on my Bowie.

Also, poor poor Sweeney. Even as an rear end in a top hat trickster, that final police car thing has got to hurt.

It didn't even occur to me that people might not know that stuff by heart. I kind of assumed someone would point out all the things I'd missed. :downs:

Then you might also not recognise the Life on Mars suit Media is wearing.




It's a fairly detailed recreation of the original, down to the tie. The shoes are maybe not quite right, and it all seems slightly too shiny, but that could also just be the lighting.

The background music gives me a slight China Girl-vibe with the chorus going Oo-oo-o. I'm not sure, though.

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.

Yeah, trees are definitely a pagan mythical symbol. I couldn't make sense of it either.

But from the perspective of actually observing poo poo, I'm totally right. Seeing someone who should be dead walking around is still just seeing someone walking around. Seeing anyone floating around is seeing something you've never seen before.

Additionally, Marilyn Monroe is a celebrity and also dead. I'd say dead and floating and famous definitely beats dead and walking.

Also they blew that huge wad of money on the gay sex scene cg

Fiery semen is expensive, but I doubt it would deplete anyone's effects budget.

Episode 6: It feels weird that Wednesday could kill Vulcan so easily, as he was set up as a stronger deity with his newfound religion of militarism. Can you even kill a god by just chopping his head off like that?

I mean, Vulcan kind of gave him the perfect weapon to do it with. :shrug:

Also, if there's one thing I've learned from the bible, it's to never let other gods enter your temple. It's bad news.

Honestly, I'd still watch this show even if it had no central storyline at all, just for all the little vignettes of the gods finding their place in the modern world. :allears:

Yeah, I'm really enjoying the road movie side story on its own. The adventures of leprechaun, dead wife and gay muslim cab driver (who banged a genie) are pretty excellent.

Interesting that this episode ended with the god Allah. I wonder if and how that's going to be handled? Or will the Djinn be the only Islamic deity-thing we see?

Seeing as Allah can't be depicted, surely He doesn't have a corporeal form.

Also, what was that scene in the new episode when Sweeney flashbacked while looking at Laura and the ice cream truck? Was that supposed to be the first wreck? Did Sweeney/Wednesday set Shadow up by killing Laura and Dane Cook? :psyboom:

Looks like it.

Laura concealing her open chest cavity from Mad Sweeney was some hosed up poo poo.

The glacial pacing doesn't really bother me. Hannibal season two mostly consisted of people metaphorically fishing. This is nothing. :smug:

At this point I don't know why anyone in their right mind would hire Fuller for anything. I certainly wouldn't.

Maybe don't hire the guy who does gay sex and over the top violence if you're scared of gay sex and over the top violence.
