Thank you to OldManMcKenna for locating the article (posted on your blog’s sister site) that goes into depth about what exactly treason is, going so far as quoting the Articles of the Constitution. For the sake of convenience, I’ll leave it right here for you.

I loved that beat, too. Like a surly little kid.

The highlight of the episode was Shadow’s grumpy “Yes, I like marshmallows.”

Nah, my apologies for my terrible reading comprehension. Upon re-reading it’s obvious you’re well acquainted with Gaiman! I blame my ridiculous head cold, but it’s really no excuse. Thank you for being kind enough to accept my clarification. :)
