It started out kind of weird and I don't really know where it is going, but it's pretty cool so far.

I don't think it's a spoiler, it's pretty obvious. "What's today, Wednesday? It's my day!"

Wednesday > Wodensday > Woden > Odin.

I find it hard to believe that a "huge percentage" of the population has never heard of the meanings behind the days of the week. I've never read the books, I didn't learn anything about this show beforehand and I never looked up who plays any of the characters and I got it as soon as he said it was his day.

A huge percentage of the population doesn't give a poo poo about the days of the week and doesn't bother to learn about it. What loving bubble do you live in?

You know why the OP asked us to lay off the book talk? Because of arguments like this. I don't even give a poo poo that I know what I know; in fact, knowing makes this show a bit cooler for me. But how am I supposed to ignore a conceited-rear end remark like that?

My God.

What does this have to do with book talk? I've never read the book. This is why people should keep all book spoilers out of the thread. I took something from the show and made a prediction just like what happens in every TVIV thread. No one ever uses spoiler tags for what they think is going to happen.

It's not even an obscure fact. It's one of the first things listed on the Wikipedia page for any of the days of the week.

Sorry if you guys couldn't figure it out. Like I said, I've never read the books, and I knew what he meant. I don't know if it's some big book spoiler, I'm just mentioning things I've noticed from watching the show.

I've never researched norse mythology, but at several points during my school years someone would bring up that the days of the week are named after old norse gods because it's a fun fact that pops up literally everywhere. I don't even know if that's what he really is, but book spoilers people made sure to pop in and talk about 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.

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.

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

Sorry, I was referring to all the posts quoting me and bitching at me for a thing I got from watching the show. But anyway, someone should probably make a separate book spoilers thread so us non book readers can enjoy and talk about this show.

Can we please move on past the spoiler slapfight?

I read the book a long time ago.
I didn't know it was a potential spoiler. See above, I read the book a long time ago, so I could be wrong.
It took me 1 minute to edit my post. It really didn't hurt me at all to do so.

To recap: Right now, all we know from the show is:

    Some Norsemen landed in America, got stuck.
    Bargained with the wind to get unstuck.
    Centuries later, our hero meets a mysterious old guy that says "Wednesday (pronounced Winds-day)" is his day.

Perhaps the rest of the season will shed some more light on whether this is just a coincidence.

Thus my dissatisfaction with the heavy reliance on promotional material and book readership to generate interest.

It wasn't a wind god, it was a war god. That's why they fought each other so he would give them wind.

I really liked Anansi being a mixture of the old version of the god, a tarantula, and a modern man in a suit. I guess I won't comment on what I think about Stomare's character because everyone got upset last time. It's a bit frustrating that it goes so deep into one part of the story but we only get tiny snippets of other people. I'm not really interested in whatever the hell Bilquis or whoever is doing. But I want to know more about Anansi and Gillian Anderson's character.

How can you miss that a guy with a dog steps into the road, the car stops in front of the dog (so it clearly didn't die) and then Anubis stands up? He was the dog. He shows up because he just found where Laura was.

Does she though? Her arc didn't mention it explicitly. She got yanked away from Anubis, 2 eps back when he dug it up, I thought it looked like the coin had burned through not only the coffin lid, but into the pillow as well.

Not doubting, just wondering what hints I missed in the text.

Yeah, that seems a bit weird. Maybe when it burned through her, some luck rubbed off and dragged her back.

Watching it again, it seems a bit confusing. The bison god kills the leader of the mammoth tribe. Then the bison people offer livers(?) to that one guy, but he knocks them to the ground. The bison person signals to shoot that guy with arrows. but then one of the mammoth ladies picks up the liver bundle and offers it to the children. Or was that just an older child?
