Wasn't there a scene in the book where shadows talks with a totally not jesus holy figure guy in white clothes, bright lights, with undistinguished features? IIRC when he's at the vigil?

people in the other thread are talking about how when Laura comes home, there's a cartoon about a dog & bird on. How is this significant? The dog I could somehow see as referring to Anubis, but I don't see how this fits into the larger story... Help?

A bit confused by the tree monster at the end of the episode. The new gods have a clear association with technology of all sorts, this monster was nothing like it -organic, magical, old. But I don't get why Odin would have summoned it and didn't see anything to indicate that he did. What am I missing?

precision posted:I believe what worries some, at least me, is that said critical and viewer acclaim is going to start bleeding off really fast if they try to go 5 or 7 or 14 seasons or whatever the current insane plan is. I agree - I'm loving this series for its sense of style and amazing acting, but I know where this story is going. Someone without that knowledge is going to start wondering when poo poo's going to get interesting plot-wise and might very well abandon ship. Which would be a crying shame but I can't say I'd blame them.

Nah. Still beaten by You're an rear end in a top hat, dead wife. But Glover was amazing, true. edit: something I've noticed: during the sales pitch World & Media give, I think that Wednesday's beating the table was ad-libbed. Watch Technical Boy's reaction.

Was the spider unlocking the handcuffs Anansi or another animal aide? I don't remember Odin having an affiliation with spiders, but I don't see Anansi hitching a ride in Wednesday's coattails just for the off-chance that he needs to get Wednesay out of trouble in some way. Also given Anansi's personality I wouldn't want to rely on a drat trickster god in a pinch. That's just asking for trouble.

weird, I remembered book Vulkan having reinvented himself as a god of cars/motorway accidents. I'm probably just mixing them up.

it's all of the above. The Satellite, Vulcan's shallow re-invention as a mass-marketed product (of destruction, but I don't think Wednesday's particularly offended by that aspect), him refusing his gift of soma, the direct allusion to shadow's hanging. Also, Vulcan directly called out Wednesday's plan to martyr himself. That's a danger he can't allow to come anywhere near the final battle. double nine fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jun 6, 2017 |

Shooting Blanks posted:Missed this post. My guess for the accident in this episode is Eostre. She's the namesake of Easter and while rabbits have nothing to do with her traditionally, it's pointed out in the book that modern American Easter has little to do with her original formation. Rabbits are important in modern Easter, which is still worshiped, however. What her motivation is, I have zero idea. I tend to try and spoiler my comments if I've seen the episode just after it gets released.

So is Anansi boys going to get spliced into the Shadow/wednesday plot or is the plan to finish american gods and then have 2 (?) seasons of Anansi boys?
