American Gods

Watched the second episode tonight and holy shit it was good. I mean, the first episode was interesting but it felt more like a prologue and this is where the story really starts.

First, I want Orlando Jones nominated for any Emmy just so they can show Anansi's speech during the award show and watch the whole world squirm. It was just uncomfortable and captivating and beautiful to watch.

Also, Gillian Anderson IS an actual Goddess so while her scenes were great, didn't we already know this? I've been worshiping her since 1993.

Just kidding, I seriously feel like I'm only watching the show now to see more of her awesomeness. YES I WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE HER!

I haven't listened to anymore of the book because one of my library holds came in and took priority. I'm sorta happy about this, I like not knowing what will happen in the show, though knowing Bryan Fuller things will get reworked. I think I only have about 90 minutes left in my current audiobook so when that is done I will flip back over to 'American Gods'.

The casting on this show is just so damn good.

Honestly that show is SO WELL DONE so far and I hope that continues. Very excited for it! :D

Bryan Fuller and his team are AMAZING at adapting books to screen. I feel like those 3 years of Hannibal were just practice and I almost feel 100% sure that American Gods will be perfection because of it.

Not caught up on the second episode, but I NEEEEEED my Mr. Nancy! When I found out who was playing him, that pretty much sealed me to check it out, for a few episodes at least. I know he's perfect, without even seeing a single scene yet, I know it.

(Minor quibble: It's Orlando Jones, love, Jones. Bloom is the elf-pirate.) (Although I'm kinda glad you said that because I did the same thing like 3 times last week.)

oh flip, I fixed it on my LJ but not here. I seriously had one of those "don't type Bloom, don't type Bloom" moments before this post but I got so excited my brain apparently said BLOOM! **face palm**

Going to fix now
