That cut scene is pretty lazy storytelling in itself.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Right? You've got an omniscient character in the room. That's kind of cheating.

We watched 1.5 eps of American Gods and I kind of hate it. Will that change or is the season the same? And I love Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon) and Ian McShane and was really excited for this show. Sigh.

Oh dear! Sad to hear that because I haven't watched yet and want to love it.

Also, holding off on watching the last 2 GoT episodes to delay season's end. I don't like to watch the last ones available often on series because then I don't have any more. It is irrational, but I seem to do it often. (and don't mind being spoiled at all)

I don't know Glam. I loved it from the beginning. So, it's hard to say.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I enjoyed American Gods, but I can see how someone might not.

Glam, what is it that you hated about it?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I accidentally watched ep4 first, LOVED it, and then went back and watched 1-3 and was really unimpressed. I do want to catch up with the rest eventually, but mostly to put that clip of Gillian Anderson as David Bowie into context.
I wanted to like it so much, because the book is so great, but it was just...too much. Too much slo-mo blood splatter, too much Ian McShane Ian McShaning all over the place, too much asking me to take for granted that they would eventually finish the prelude and get around to the story.

In retrospect, it was Zombie Wife and Unlucky Leprechaun that I liked most about American Gods. For the rest of the time, I just kept yelling, How do you not know who this guy is?!
