When I saw Kristin Chenoweth cast as Easter i was like PERFECT! 

LOVE this casting.

I was imagining Chernobog very differently, probably because I grew up seeing people like that lol

[Bruinsfan]

Yeah, Chernobog is not like I'd imagined him, whereas most of the others so far are fitting close to my mental image from reading. Well, and Mr. Nancy was Keith David in my mind, actually. I imagined him as much more elderly than Orlando Jones.

Cloris Leachman (Zorya Vechernyaya) has passed away.

I recently googled her after episode 302 because I wasn't sure if she has passed away and the show was honoring her or if her character's death was just a part of the storyline. I was happy to see that she was still alive and just perhaps retiring from acting. Very sad to see that she's passed, but I think most people would be lucky to live to 94.

RIP Frau Blucher (can you hear the horses?)💗

I wonder how they're going to proceed with the Marilyn Mason story. I know he'll be out after this season, but there are 6 more episodes.

6, not 7

According to this article, he was only going to appear in on more episode this season and he is being edited out. In addition:

Quote

This move by Starz and producer Fremantle to erase Manson from their show comes just over an hour after one of American Gods’ main stars Yetide Badaki made it crystal clear what her position is on the matter. “I stand with Evan Rachel Wood and these brave women,” bluntly tweeted the acclaimed actress who portrays Bilquis, a goddess of love on the series.

Even before the statement from Starz/Fremantle and Badaki’s tweet on Monday, it was obvious something was up and action was being taken over the allegations against Manson. The American Gods potion of the Starz media site had been pretty much beached clean of Season 3 photos and cast info. In more clue a #MoonMonday event on Instagram with AG lead Ricky Whittle and Herizen Fawn Guardiola was suddenly cancelled earlier today.

To be honest, I thought his storyline was already over and that his character was a glorified cameo, so I was surprised when the announcement yesterday said that he had one episode left. But according to the article above, he has a significant part of the “Sister Rising” episode. Good thing they have a week off due to the Super Bowl to figure out how to edit him out and still have the story make sense.

I thought is was announced that Marilyn Manson was being edited out of American Gods? Are we to assume his character was in the bar when it blew up?

Per the link above:

Quote

“Due to the allegations made against Marilyn Manson, we have decided to remove his performance from the remaining episode he is in, scheduled to air later this season. Starz stands unequivocally with all victims and survivors of abuse,” a Starz spokesperson told Deadline [on February 2].

The announcement was made after S3.E4 aired so he will only be edited out of the last episode he was to appear in. No word on if they show plans to edit out his appearance in the two previous episodes he was in for subsequent airings or on demand viewings.

His role in the remaining episode was said to be "significant" but no word on if that means the original plot was to have him survive the bar explosion or die in the explosion and appear in a dream sequence or some other weird way (you never know with this show).
