Starz or whatever is pretty liberal about nudity, like Spartacus was... insanely penis heavy.

Gillian Anderson looks great as Media. Can't wait for that!

Apparently it's not a long wait, she's said to be in ep 2, which means more of her generally.

Just watched the episode, there is no part of that I did not like.

Mr. Nancy is different than I pictured him (and is written) but Orlando was excellent. Love the tiny little spider dreads.

I can forgive the Bilquis thing as they seem to be building towards something and she was never much of a character to begin with.

The whole Slavic gods business could not feasibly have been better, I don't see how it could be possible.

I am optimistic about the future of this series, though I wonder if stretching it out is really a good idea.

e: Media is perfect. Could not be better.

e: Gaiman and Pratchett both do the "Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip" trope a lot too, and it was cool to see that trope show up in Preacher last season

I mean Maiden/Mother/Crone is a pretty standard trope, Pratchett uses it with the Witches a lot.

There's also the one about how women do the birth and death aspects of life, Gaiman and Pratchett use both a lot.

Gillian Anderson as Bowie you guys, I just... It's perfect. Such contempt for the technical boy, she's been doing it better for longer.

Gaiman tended to do more with Japanese mythology than Chinese IIRC (not that he couldn't interpret whatever) but in Sandman Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Loki had an altercation as Loki is not keen on thunder gods, for obvious reasons.
