yeah, cept Jimmy's basically on probation for the next 12 months. His life as a free man and his potential future legal carrier can't handle him getting in trouble. Kim remembers that, even if Jimmy doesn't want to.

Isn't the show over in September?

To be fair, we have a lot of crazy extremists in our own country, but the entire nation shouldn't be condemned for their existence.

Yes… she was but another glass or bottle of liquid, just waiting to become a spill.

Show looks just fine on my 38-incher.

My wife and I watched via Amazon Prime and we had the subtitles. Per what others are saying… perhaps it's a country issue?

I'm someone who has read the book (just once) and is a bit fuzzy on a lot of the plot details. I remember characters and specific settings from the road trip arc of the plot, but not a lot more.

It made me wish she'd been on Deadwood.

"That's the bomb" would like a word with you.

Yeah, if Shadow ever gets back to Indiana, then why not bring her back! :::fingers crossed:::

Yeah, I turned to my wife and said if they want to make a sitcom spinoff of this with just Laura and Audrey having goofy adventures… one's dead, one's alive… one's a depressed cheater, the other's a faithful-if-bitter-and-abrasive friend.

But isn't the point that these are the American versions of those original gods? And also, if Ibis is going to be walking a dog and blend in to the Americana around him, shouldn't it be a basic dog breed and not a jackal? That'd attract extra attention.

Yeah, taking up 1 ep of an 8 ep season for this was… a bit frustrating. And ending the ep exactly where the previous ep ended was mehhh… would have loved to at least see a bit beyond that point so we don't have to feel like time's been rewound one week and we're treading water.

Yep. I'm wondering how much more of her we'll get. But even if it was just her parts in ep 1 and ep 4, it's been awesome.

Shadow's kinda got the whole Gordon Freeman thing going on. He's the mostly silent everyman observing and experiencing everything. The stand-in for we, the viewer.

Yeah. Although I'm not sure it's the first time something like this has happened (though I'm sure it's rare), because if it had been the first time… I would think Anubis would want to take her back to the judging and finish his job right now, instead of help Ibis get her patched up and allow her to do whatever she…

Yeah, in the end it won me over as well from having been feeling "dangit, do we have to have a full flashback ep about Laura…" before watching it.

I absolutely loved Laura running into her old best friend. Made the episode for me.

Rounding to the nearest 5 is acceptable. As long as they did it by 27.499999 years later, they'd be okay.
