Calibandar Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The number of episodes seems to have gone down from 10 to 9 to 8 for this season. I was reading that on another site this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm not sure how I feel about them deviating from the source material and adding Dickie Bennet to the cast... the tension In the book was because the balance pf power between the old gods and new was so out of balance... but Jesus --just by nature of how many followers he still has-- would shift the balance of power in the opposite direction....

If he were interested in doing so. Spoiler My recollection was that he was essentially surfing and getting high, rather than getting involved.

HexMachina Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Looks great. Thats a pretty substantial trailer though, at least imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looks awesome. So glad to see Ian McShane back in a substantial role on a series. Cznerbog looks perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 An advert popped up on my Facebook saying 1st May for this on Amazon Prime I think the US already had their premiere date but we have one now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I finished the 10th anniversary edition of American Gods the other day . . . Spoiler and the only excerpt I remember of Jesus was in a postscript. Gaiman chose not to include. It was to be in chapter 15 when Shadow meets Jesus while he's dying on the ash tree. One of the few he meets while he seems to be traveling through the underworld. Basically Jesus and Shadow have a glass of red wine(Jesus made the wine, of course, and is very self-conscious about its quality) and the former tells the latter how difficult it is to be a god, how you have to be everything to everyone and meet their expectations. Gaiman wrote about being indecisive about its inclusion in the text and finally excluded it since he felt it didn't really fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 That trailer is badass. I can't believe I've never read this. Getting that taking care of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So there is a new trailer out that looks absolutely fantastic and wonderfully bloody too. Sadly everywhere website I try gives me a "playback error" when I try and view the video except the Facebook page for American Gods, and I don't know how to directly link the video from that. Anyway, I have pretty high expectations for this, looks brilliant. One small point - they don't give a lot of time to Shadow in these trailers. Not sure if that's because Ricky Whittle is a lesser known actor than the rest of the cast or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Oo, they included Mr. Ibis and Easter in that trailer. Nice. I'm wondering if Mr. Ibis and Jacquel were the two in that desert scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 opening credits. I liked it. Although I could really see much of the names being credited, but I was watching on a small screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I could really see much of the names being credited, but I was watching on a small screen It feels like a montage of all my current shows. There's elements of "black Sails", "Westworld", "Daredevil" and more in there. Which isn't a bad thing as it is a show about a mash-up of mythologies. The music is interesting I like the slightly odd sounding male "ohhh/grunt" at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Just bumping this thread, as it starts in less than 1 week, so should be available to book in the EPG now. April 30 on Starz if you live Stateside May 1 on Amazon Prime for everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'm very excited for this. Maybe that means I'm going in with too high expectations but all the stuff I've seen and heard so far looks good. I think they are doing an Emmy FYC the day before the U.S. Premiere where they will show some of episode one. So there may be some reactions after that.

I'm cool as long as it's on before I go to work the day after. Not that long a wait if it airs sunday night in the US which is the day after anyhow in the UK. Although Starz does tend to stream their episodes in which case it could be a genuine 24hr wait. I survived it with Black Sails though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
