I'm really looking forward to seeing how they handle the Loki/Mr. World reveal in the show. I wonder if Crispin Glover is going to have a similar accent or style of speech to Jonathan Tucker, or something.

If you squint, there's juussst enough of a resemblance between the two that they might be able to do something cool with mirrors or something

That'd be pretty cool. I have faith in the creative team that they'll be able to tease it somehow, otherwise it's a huge waste.

Also, did anybody catch the shadow of a falcon flying across the car and think it was a quick tease of Horus, or am I just imagining that?

That pretty much solidifies that the show will go well into Anansi Boys/AG2 territory, I really can't imagine them doing 5 seasons without even more padding than we've already gotten.

To me that sounds like Anansi Boys or any new material would take the show past five seasons.

Egyptian Gods weren't in the novel at all, aside from Bast, IIRC. And Bast = cats so it's pretty clear how she's still here.

e: forgot Ibis and Jacquel, funeral parlor dudes. And her cat is definitely supposed to be Bastet.

Horus plays a pretty important part at the end.

In this episode Mad Sweeney calls him Wotan but that still might be too obscure for some people.

Czernobog called him Wotan too, so from pretty early on we have several characters not calling him Wednesday, but not referring to him as Odin either.

Fantastic episode. I'm still in awe at how spot-on the casting has been. Give me Gillian Anderson ASAP.

The recent radio adaptation was pretty good, and had a phenomenal cast. Worth taking a look at IMO.
