I thought the new Vulcan side-trip was awesome. It wasn't in the book, but it fit in perfectly and underscores how spot on Gaiman's observations about religion in America were/are. In the book, Laura was more a deus ex machina to move the plot forward rather than a fleshed out character, so I appreciate what the show runners have done with her as well.

just finished watching all 8 over 2 nights... haven't read the book but
love this series!

ep7 was my favorite. But as someone said above, anything with Ian in it
is a draw for me! Didn't realize that was Gillian til I read that here... wow!
Also liked the Vulcan story! agree that the ep1 fight scene made me think
of 300 as well!

So is 8 all there is for this season?

Me neither - but I remember Gillian Anderson was in it looking rather nice :drool2: (hey - I respect her as an actress!) - and that cute blonde lass in the last episode (ditto) . . .
    • . . . neither of whom are returning :(

You should catch some of her pre Ricardo work. She was an absolute knock out when younger. She often played a loose woman with wardrobe to match.

hahaha yeah agree! There is so much ... don't wanna say
'fluff', but smoke & mirrors to this show. It's fun to watch, somewhat,
but in reality, this story cud be told in like 2 hours if they cut
out all the BS.

(but...sh*t... anything with Ian McShane in it has me from
the start!)

I can't frikkin' remember THAT - it was 2 years ago - some days I can't even remember which end is up on my trousers :roll:

But a quick stretch followed by some Google-Foo confirmed there were 2 games . . . in S01E02 Czernobog wins, in S01E03 Shadow wins (hence the heavy metal dude being on the trip).

S02E02 - "The Beguiling Man"


Now THAT's a bit more like it :)

Less of the "airy fairy" and more of the character-driven stuff we've grown to love.

    • • Nice bit of back story.

      • Some great one-liners - including (LMAO) these 2 gems . . .
      • “I have no choice but to resume the lopping of heads, drinking of blood, and liberating of souls . . . that is . . . if I can swap my weekend shift with Arjun.”
        “Smile – it’s just a bit O’ fun.”
      • So – the “car” then ?!?!?

      • Topped with Lead Belly’s way-pre-Ram-Jam’s “Black Betty”.

Nice – great to see it back on-form.


Oh – and Season 3 has already been greenlit too Image - https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1050 ... showrunner

Just started watching this finally.
Been watching in the basement while I work on my spray table. A few eps into season 2 so far.
Enjoying the ride up to this point.
I have all the eps DVRed.

I both enjoy, and despise the way they keep information from us.
Wednesday knows so much, but tells so little. Which wouldn't be so bad, but they make sure that we know he knows and isn't saying.

Season 1 was good
Season 2 was disappointing
I never bothered with Season 3

It was cancelled after that (I think a LOT of people stopped after season 2)
