We're two episodes deep into the STARZ adaptation of American Gods. Yeah, the one you forgot about, saw the awful advertising for, then immediately forgot about again:
I wasn't expecting to enjoy it at all, but I really am. If you were tentatively on the fence, give it a look. Ian McShane as Wednesday is as good as we all knew he'd be, but Orlando Jones' Nancy is the real standout: he's in a single six-minute scene and is already the best character.
It is a ridiculous, hyperactive, hell-for-leather ride and I'm loving it.
Dumb thoughts based on the book:
Loki signs up for more power, but I wonder whether he needs it in 2017 -- it's canon that worship operates on a 'close enough' basis (see Easter) so surely tumblr is like a buffet for the dude. The story doesn't work without him, but I'm wondering how that's gonna interact with a different cultural attitude towards the guy than when Gaiman wrote the original novel.
