say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it’s an ethos!

over a total of 4 dogs (1 Bichon, 2 labs, and a lab/hound mix) I’ve lost: somewhere between a dozen and a score books (hard and paper back), two LPs, a deck rail (treated), countless nerf darts, at least 3 lbs of play dough and crayons (talk about rainbow shits), two pairs of house slippers, three single shoes, 4…

Thanks, I was basing it on what Wednesday said early on: “The only thing I’m afraid of is being forgotten.” As long as they’re out there, in some way, they’re still relevant, even if their presence is merely as the inspiration for the name of a day of the week. The more people forget that origin, however, the less…

I’ll have to check those out, thanks!

I was referring more to their presence in America, even though they weren’t worshiped by any peoples that eventually settled here. I guess there could be some lost Roman or Greek ship that ended up finding the Americas, but it’s more likely that we’d have South Pacific deities than Roman or Greek.

I’m actually really looking forward to the solo Shadow parts, because I think THAT is when we should finally start to see who he really is, even though he remains fairly mysterious/flat throughout the book (and the subsequent stories about the party and the black dog). It was interesting to me how Lakeside had so many…

I was thinking more of the general weirdness that Shadow senses about Lakeside. That was a pretty big spoiler you just dropped there, though.

I feel like I read somewhere when the Honda Fit came out in the U.S., that it was actually larger than the original Honda CVCC.

I’m with you. I actively avoid any and all articles about the next episode until after I’ve watched it (usually on Monday nights), and then come here to read what people are saying about it.

This. When Vulcan poured his own whiskey instead of the soma that “Grimnir” brought him (which Wednesday didn’t drink), Wednesday knew.

Well, in Birmingham, AL, a big southern steel town, there’s a statue of Vulcan, and smithies, forges, and foundries can be found all over the world. Vulcan may just be the name he’s chosen to use because it’s the most “Anglo-friendly” and easily marketed. Think of the Gillette Venus razor. Why didn’t they call it the…

I keep seeing this kind of comment, but I always read Shadow in this way. I think that’s what makes his name so freakishly appropriate. He’s almost like a shadow of a man, and all the things that happen to him are things that really could happen to any person. I think it’s part of what makes his part in the novel’s…

I think we’re about to see Kristin. There were some Easter images in this episode, and we ARE in Virginia. Wasn’t there also some mention of a tree???

I’ve had to admit to myself that as much as I love the book, the show just isn’t the same. It’s almost more like a re-interpretation, in coordination with the author, fleshing out some parts of the story and updating some of them (the original was written what, 20 years ago?) to be a little more current. The fleshing…

I don’t think Lakeside is anything like Vulcan, honestly. Vulcan had a very sinister feeling to it, and Lakeside just felt like a small, northern-midwestern town, maybe a little economically depressed, but generally “normal.”

he martyred him, actually... which could go badly for him later...

Gaiman took this concept and ran with it in Sandman, that the physical embodiment of an idea (i.e., Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, Delerium) can be “killed,” but that they’ll just be replaced by a new aspect.

I really hated to star this, but ONLY because you were at 666. Excellent.

But that would anger our “allies” in the region, y’know, the ones that take our money and support and then give it to al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, Hizballah, etc.
