Which Tyler March 3, 2016 Share March 3, 2016 Not a dream casting (that'd be Hopkins or Skarsgaard), but about as good as could realistically be expected; and far, far better than feared. Will help massively in getting other talented actors on board too. Link to comment

Which Tyler July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 On 23/07/2016 at 0:53 AM, Artsda said: Trailer from Comic Con. Absolutely loving that! Link to comment
netlyon2 July 25, 2016 Share July 25, 2016 Here's an interesting, mildly spoilery, breakdown of the trailer: A Deep Analysis of the 'American Gods' Trailer. "Deep Analysis" is somewhat hyperbolic; the article doesn't give away much plot, mostly just character information. The only stuff I'd call spoilers would be regarding Laura: Spoiler her death, the circumstances of her death, and her not being all-the-way dead Bilquis: Spoiler "orgasm of death" (their words, not mine) Link to comment
TxanGoddess August 18, 2016 Share August 18, 2016 (edited) Oh yes please to Mr Ricky Whittle! I am not familiar with his previous work, but he seems to have a really versatile face. It looks like he is easily able to transition from just gorg to thug in one kickass sneer. I can see why the article would call him a wild card based on the google images out there, but he fits in really well in the trailer. Yum yum. And its funny the article mentions GOT too ... I was hoping this would be out soon enough to nurse me through the time after season 6, but since they are delaying season 7 even longer, I am glad that AG will be starting next year now.

jenrising May 8, 2017 Share May 8, 2017 For anyone who remembers her amazing Feeding Hannibal posts, Janice Poon is also blogging about American Gods. Spoilery for the latest episode: http://janicepoonart.blogspot.com/2017/05/americangods-ep-102-secret-of-spoons.html 1 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo May 8, 2017 Share May 8, 2017 Yay, I LOVED her Hannibal posts! I'm so excited to see what she has for us on American Gods. 1 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo May 8, 2017 Share May 8, 2017 And here is Janice's post about S1.E1: http://janicepoonart.blogspot.com/2017/04/americangods-101-bone-orchard.html There are character descriptions based on the book, so it might be a little spoilery if you are brand new to American Gods. I haven't read the book so I read the beginning of her post, scrolled down past the character stuff (there are pictures, but not from the show), and then read the rest. You'll know you're past the character stuff when you see "Eat like a God!" in red followed by Not Laura's Chili recipe. Link to comment

formerlyfreedom May 11, 2017 Share May 11, 2017 We will be getting a second season! Quote EXCLUSIVE: The TV Gods have smiled upon American Gods again today with Starz giving the recently debuted series a pretty quick Season 2 renewal.| Expected to launch in mid-2018, the second season pick-up comes just under two weeks after the Bryan Fuller and Michael Green adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2001 award-winning novel premiered on the premium cabler on April 30. 5 Link to comment
netlyon2 May 12, 2017 Share May 12, 2017 For those who haven't read the books*, here's a non-spoilery explanation of the show's premise/what has happened so far (first two eps). It's pretty good; although the show has established that Bilquis is not a prostitute. She's using a dating app or something. What the Heck is American Gods Actually About? *Do we have a term for non-book-readers who are watching AG or is "Unsullied" now a blanket term? "Uninitiated"? "Shadow-watchers" ('cause he's easing into this, too)? 2 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo May 23, 2017 Share May 23, 2017 This isn't specifically American Gods related, but it's Neil Gaiman related! Neil Gaiman has agreed to do a live reading of the entire Cheesecake Factory menu if this CrowdRise campaign raises $500K for UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, by June 20. 2 Link to comment

starri July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 Lovely interview with Chris Obi about playing Jacquel. One of the things I've noticed about the actors doing interviews is that all of them seem to REALLY like the show. It doesn't seem like anyone is only there for a paycheck. 2 Link to comment
