She's killing it.

I agree, I just thought "she got hired because of her relationship with Fuller, BUT" sounded like something else.

Oh, he definitely loves working with actors more than once, but I've never yet seen him bring back a fave for a part they weren't suited for and good or great in.

this is a joke right

I think the idea is that the lightning split the rock, which if I'm not mistaken is an image associated with Thor and his hammer (which of course do disperse lightning).

I find it interesting that they have Wednesday spell out his identity here, when it doesn't happen in the book. It makes a good sense as a turning point for ending on, and something to hang Shadow's "conversion" on, and I'm betting they thought that non book audiences might be less likely to pick up on the hints, so…

I actually thought all the sturm und drang hanging off that speech took away from it a little. It was kind of distracting. Might improve on a second viewing.

That seems like an uncharitable way to put it. He hired her because he (correctly) thought she would be right for the part, based on knowing her and having worked with her before. It's not like he hired his cousin or a childhood friend for no other reason than nepotism.

That's fantastic, and I want an answer key that labels every single one of the Jesuses precisely. I can place a bunch of them, but I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT EVERY LAST ONE

I know I'm a year late, but as a Horse Girl growing up who rode for 12 years and helped run a summer riding camp at one point, I was appalled at how the camp handled Tina. I know it was an intentional part of the story, but it was actually emotionally difficult for me to watch. GIVE TINA THE PALOMINO AND RIDE PLOPS…

If anybody's going to die my bet is on Sweeney. He's been foreshadowed, she hasn't at all.

These things happen.

They actually debated briefly whether it counted or not as a bottle episode before moving on to discussing the episode itself. I agree it isn't one by any reasonable standard, but at least they didn't let themselves get bogged down in that.

She does though! They're both selfish opportunists who use sex and looks to get ahead. They're also both smart and resourceful. They're morally gray in very similar ways.

Fuller confirmed on twitter that "all bunnies are Easter's spies."

That doesn't actually happen in the book! Neither Laura nor Sweeney gets nearly this much story in the book, so this is all additional. From watching the episode, I thought he did it for two reasons. First, he feels guilty about having killed her for no good reason. It actually kind of makes a nice metacommentary on…

It wasn't the whole episode, though? It kept cutting back to Laura and Sweeney.

It's sort of great to hear you say that about a museum, because I remember when I first read the book I kept stopping to google certain characters or names to pick up what the mythology reference was. It was a reading experience incredibly perfect for my tastes and interests.

Yeah, the showrunners have said that because they don't have a standing set they can keep returning to, it made the whole thing way more expensive and logistically challenging.

He also said there was some chance of revisiting that in future seasons, so we can hope.
