I missed that, thank you!

The character is depicted as at least 3 different races in the comics.

Try reading the WHOLE thing next time, it makes the conversation better. 

I’m guessing a lot of the “fans” crying out about this are actually just bigots who may never have actually read Sandman and are using this as a way to push back against what they perceive as “forced diversity.”

I’m pissed off because he didn’t cast a dead person as Death.

oy, always with the shouty people.

I’ll admit that I’m totally attached to the version of Death from the comics. I have a tattoo of her for gods’ sake! However, and here’s a crucial thing that many idiots either don’t understand about the character (because they never actually read the comic) or just don’t give a shit about: Death is not human. She’s a…

You mean you weren't convinced by the aesthetic superiority on display in Stardust?

In David Lynch’s version everyone is played by capuchins. He only works in monkey now.

Yeah, I think maybe there’s confusion (whether in the article or in people’s heads looking back) on the Tori Amos thing - if someone claims that Delirium’s look was based on 90s Tori Amos, that’s entirely reasonable.  When someone says it of Death, it’s a reasonable question whether they’ve ever actually seen either…

OK, a few things. First, there is no reason I can understand to think that Death’s appearance was inspired by Tori Amos. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at pictures of Tori...I mean, A LOT OF TIME...and she doesn’t resemble Death in any way other than being “a woman.” Death always reminded me more of Chrissy Hynde or…

Sure, but only if he agrees to misinterpret the important bits because he understands gods and their godnessness but human confuse and bore him!

Who fucking cares what Neil Gaiman thinks? We DEMAND Zach Snyder make a shot-for-panel adaptation with at least 37% slow motion set to Hallelujah.

I just hope they retain Death’s style; it’s about time Black goths got their time in the shade.

Complaining that Desire is played by a nonbinary person is like complaining that Captain Hook is played by an someone with one hand who wears a hook and talks like a pirate.

I also take the Free Life Army leader’s ridiculous Southern accent to be a sign that at some point in the future, the south split off from the rest of the United States and left unchecked, doubles down on their inherent southerness to become the Super Confederacy (which includes rampant xenophobia, giving zero fucks…

“It takes a while, but Chapter 1 sketches out the state of the planet. (Did we confirm this was Earth?)“

I love that this mid-season finale did a kind of mini-Epitaph One from Dollhouse. I loved that leap forward on Dollhouse and I liked it here just as much. Hopefully the new showrunner can pay it off and keep the energy going.

...I’m struggling to think of a U.K. actor’s North American accent that isn’t comical.

Always great to see Claudia Black, especially in a sci-fi context (going all the way back to Pitch Black).

Actually I prefer the natural dramedy with these characters instead of the whodunnit, which is cliched “dead girl” and now “serial killer and kidnapper” mystery we’e seen a billion times before. But the show has a lived-in, authentic quality when it’s just focused on these people in this town, facing problems all to…
