If Gaiman really wanted that silly notion in the book, he would have added it in with the extra 15,000 words in the 10th anniversary edition. But he didn't add it in, so it's not canon. The idea is even mocked in the book by one of the characters.

Maybe they lived around Penn State during the Paterno/Sandusky years?

Sounds Black Mirror needs some cheese to go with your whine. This shaggy dog story wasn't very shaggy. White Bear was a far better episode than this.

The exploitation was happening long before that. After all, the Arab slave trade was pulling people up from the east coast of the continent centuries before the Portuguese started up the triangle trade on the west coast. The Slav people weren't content to be slaves. Just look at all the peasant uprisings at that time.…

I'm disappointed that you are unable to step out from those stereotypes into an actual intersectional dialogue. It is one thing to speak your mind about the portrayal, which is fair. All the Gods are collections of stereotypes, not all of them comfortable. That is understandable.

I am NOT interested in seeing the same story followed to the smallest detail.

Sounds like dry British comedy to me, written by an immigrant who doesn't quite know how to do American comedy.

The book does not explain the affair like that. You are projecting things into the book that are not there. (Or perhaps the earlier version says something different from the extended anniversary edition I read.)

Why would they be safe? Wednesday says outright they are not safe earlier in the episode. Wednesday avoids saying that he trusts him when Shadow asks.

The music seemed spot on as a Rorschach test. Others who were watching it seemed to see things more in line with their own personalities. If you saw it as music of betrayal, then perhaps you're more suspicious than average?

Technical Boy isn't the god of all Technology, but more like the Spirit of Silicon Valley. Considering that Media remembers the War of the Worlds broadcast, she's been around much longer than Silicon Valley.

There's always another story to be told. After all, they discovered signs that humans were in the California area 130,000 years ago…which puts that 115,000 years before the Clovis cultures/ Native Americans:

If the goddess Ēostre adapted to the modern rituals of Easter in the book, then the Thor of myth can adapt the same to the modern Thor of Marvel..

You should have your viscera checked. Sucker Punch was a better superhero movie than the trainwreck known as Batman v Superman.

IMDB is like the cheaper version of Wikipedia

I just finished the Extended Edition a couple days ago and the Tech Boys just shoved him out of the limo. That scene was later on with the Men In Black on the rendition train.

In the book, Laura is a vague Manic Pixie Dream Girl seen mostly from Shadow's perspective. In the show, Laura is skeptical Scully to Shadow's Mulder. She's drawn to his sense of order in the world. She's hungry for that sense of magic she had as a little girl. Her fling seemed more like someone cutting themselves to…

Two-person support group? That sounds like politician-level rationalization.

BookLaura was *not* a good person. BookLaura was a straight up Manic Pixie Dream Girl paired with a brooding male. Shadow's just blind to BookLaura's needy impulsive hedonistic side.

Didn't you notice The Watcherwoman in the background? She takes the Julia's god bullet ahead in time to use on Julia after Julia becomes a god.
