Yes, and Cloris Leachman!

My husband and I were pretty disappointed in the first episode of American Gods. He thinks the editing was terrible, and I just felt like it was trying way too hard to be edgy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ep 4 of American Gods is really good. We accidentally watched it first (because the screener site is badly designed), and I'm super-glad, because the premiere was so disappointing. (The editing style calms down a LOT in ep 4, and I really hope it's not a fluke.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It was right up my alley, but then so were the freaky dream sequences in Hannibal.

Me too, Matt.

Is this where we'll be discussing the new Twin Peaks? On one hand, it's Showtime. On the other hand, I think it's going to be a streaming option on Hulu (albeit a premium one).

I watched the new Twin Peaks. And I realized that I cannot recall how the original series ended nor did I watch "Fire Walk With Me" - did the latter impact this new series at all? Or should I, in the two weeks prior to the next episode (s?) just rewatch the original series?

Because books.

Oooh, same. I actually added Showtime to my Hulu subscription so I can watch, but I haven't yet, because I realized what sumi just said.

I loved the scene where newly reconstructed Cooper is hanging out with Sunny Jim, figuring out pancakes.
