Pretty sure Allison Williams is way skinnier than that, though I was thinking they looked a lot alike in the face, too. It's the one with the really long ponytail.

Gaiman's great and I love the entirety of the Sandman run, but his ear for diction is one of his weaknesses as a writer. Not a big deal here necessarily but it bugged me when I read American Gods. If a character sticks around long enough they inevitably end up sounding British. Maybe it's just me though!

She's kind of like one of those people you never think of as smart simply because they're never required or motivated to trade on it, but then they surprise you. The show's gone to that well at least once — on the "TGS Hates Women" episode when she knew what the speed of light was off the top of her head.

Cerie's character looks like they originally wanted her to be more of a broadly played ditzy secretary instead of just aloof and entitled like she ended up being.

Is it maybe worth pointing out that this was written and published in the waning days of the Bush I administration? I've always thought of this one as one of the most political Sandman arcs (granted, that's mostly due to Sam Delany's introduction tipping me off), and I think the "acidic subversion of fairy tales" is…

Flanagan's husband produces all those straight to DVD Barbie movies. (Don't know if that's common knowledge or not but was reminded of it here for obvious reasons.)

I live, like, two stone-throws away from Faulkner's gravesite. So if anyone wants a broken DVD player let me know and I'll hook you up.

I love the side-eye Fun Land gets from his fellow collector when he's talking about how great his special place is and how he has to keep it a secret. I think it's supposed to be pretty obvious that he's talking about Disney and that it makes him seem pretty self-deluded (and so it helps set up Dream's speech to the…

Well, it's what led to his pitch idea, right? She's not truly owned by Don because she does whatever she wants, coming and going as she pleases. Plus Ginsberg knows that it's just Don that he has to impress (as opposed to the actual client), so he's focussed on getting into his head. It's less commentary on his…

Yay Brandon Bird!

At first she thought he was a cop, then she thought he might be gay, and then she kind of tested him with the question about the TV. Having one in there might have made it easier for someone like him (a non-participant) to pass the time, but still, the obvious answer to the question is that there shouldn't be one. I…

A 3 way is a far more reasonable reaction than what Roger would probably do if he found out Don was shtupping his one true love.
