  1. Worth noting that the poster had a skull-and-star logo on it, which is the same as Jesse's tattoo.
  2. I also used to dislike Cheno, for man of the same reasons, but she's grown on me by just being excellent in everything she's in. How can you not respect a tiny woman with such huge talent? Plus when she pulled off the whole "letting my hair down and ravaging the crops" I was totally like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkvRrxI4R6c.
  3. Wait a sec, why do Jesuits get their own Jesus? I was educated by Jesuits, and I seem to recall Jesus being the standard Catholic model. Clearly Shadow has never taken a Comparative Mythology class, because between Grimnir, Wotan and Wednesday it's not like Odin was being coy about his identity.
  4. I want to know where Technical Boy got his ombre waistcoat.
  5. The Himyarites were a real people with a real kingdom. I don't know if those images were actually from a Himyarite temple, though. And yes, clearly the Highlander's trenchcoats were made by Odin's tailor.
  6. I'm starting to think of this show as less of an episodic large-arc show like Sopranos or Deadwood, and more like a Red Shoe Diaries where there are a series of vignettes held together with a loose framing element. It isn't completely that, obviously, since Shadow's story is a lot more front-and-center than (David Duchovny's) Jake's story in Red Shoe Diaries (which I picked because it's the last vignette-based show with a framing element on cable that I can remember, besides maybe Tales from the Crypt), but if you look at it as a hybrid of the two styles, it suddenly makes a lot more sense. It isn't, but all of the Coming to America stories exist in the book as well.
  7. Were any of the bunnies in Watership Down white? I don't think they were. Certainly the one in my Watership Down tattoo isn't.
  8. Looked like a packet of tobacco to me. Source: I used to roll my own. Well, what ancient god is commonly associated with fluffy white bunnies? Don't say the Trix Rabbit (General Mills strikes again!).
  9. Oh, it just struck me -- so far, Shadow has been hung from a tree like the Hanged Man and also Odin, who hung from Yggdrasil, and he's been speared in the side like Christ. Any other iconic godlike injuries coming his way? A crown of thorns? A maimed leg? A cut Achilles tendon?
  10. Odds of that song choice being creepy by accident: 0.0%
  11. Ah, no. That's a dialect thing. In Irish English "your man" translates to "the guy that is the subject of this conversation". So you could say "your man sold me a flat tire" and it just means "there's this guy and he sold me a flat tire".
  12. It's been done. Jesus comes to mind. The Buddha sacrificed his earthly existence -- his wealth, his wife, his children -- to achieve enlightenment. It's all that Fisher King stuff that cultures do over and over again.
  13. Ask Jesus. The OG Jesus, not Mexican Jesus.
