As far as bloodbaths go, I had a much harder time believing that Malvo could shoot up a whole building, killing a bunch of ostensibly trained security guards and his gun-toting targets in the process, and then just walks away, VERY suspiciously, in plain view of everyone. But it was about at this time that "This is a…

I went to college in Madison, Wisconsin (not too far from Spring Green, home of House on the Rock) and my family's Norwegian (my grandpa's name was actually Odeen, a Westernization of Odin, which is as common of a first name to have as "a Jesus.") But even without my heritage, American Gods are just around the Midwest…

well, technically one and a half-ish, and yeah. It's disappointing, but not surprising. Mr. World wanted a truce and was at least a voice of reason, and reason's not exactly on this story's side. Plus Bryan Fuller loves doing shit like this, giving the antagonist an even more fucked up antagonist (see Hannibal) to…

I was thinking Sandman. There's a lot of similarities between Sandman and American Gods, but maybe now I'm stretching it a bit :)

Yeah I can't help but think of Cassidy whenever Sweeny talks, but I think Preacher and American Gods take place very loosely in the same universe, or at least I sort of assumed they did, like Batman and Watchmen. They can't coexist, but hey comics

"Not a ton of laughs?" Maybe so but the intro with what I can only assume is Mannheim Steamroller's rendition of "The First Noel" is just perfectly silly.

I didn't mind the omission since it's really just eye candy for the viewer at this point and didn't really have anything essential to do with this episode's plot. I can't think of any concrete examples but there's a couple of similar omissions in Legion reviews, although less on an "OMG it's… why did I think you were…

The "Silent Participant" in the whole thing, perhaps?

I know a cook at a James Beard nominated restaurant and basically everybody calls it "Their James Beard Nominated X" from dishpit to the owner. Also are you the same people praising the dick hitting the sensor sound effect in Leftovers?

I made the unfortunate decision once to sing that song at a Karaoke bar, me taking Foley's part. Nobody knows that song as well as they think they do.

I watched the last episode and this one back to back with some friends and most of them haven't even wiped the tears from their eyes and the thud had everybody laughing. We re-wound it a few times before putting on sad faces again.

yeah when I saw him I had to do a Double Take

I wonder if he'd freak if he knew I got a cup of coffee from Henry Higgins Bagels yesterday.

my grandparents lived in La Crosse Wisconsin on the border with Minnesota and I went to school in Madison for 5 years and never once heard that name…

God.. back before you could just play it in the Shazam app. It's a miracle we survived at all.

Yeah I live by a building called the "C.A. Butt" building and there's been a proctologist's office in there for as long as I can remember. It's the little things..

Yeah given that the 3 shows I'm currently watching are Fargo, Better Call Saul, and The Leftovers, it was hard for me to keep things straight: in theory, "this Ermantraut (my guess is as good as yours') could be related to Mike, after all he worked for someone with close ties to a large German front posing as a…
