Rewatch S5: Hammer of the Gods (5x19)

Oct 21, 2010 12:43

I watched this two nights ago, but I haven't had a chance to type anything yet! But today I have no work! (yay for me, boo for my wallet)

I actually don't have that many notes for this one, so it'll be much more brief than my other rewatch reviews...

( why are you guys running around with no hands? )

rewatch s5, season 5

Hah, this is the episode I want to hate, but can't. It's pretty awesome all in all, but I hated that Kripke et al ripped off Neil Gaiman yet again. And I don't get why the Kitchen God (or actually, all the gods for that matter) turned out to be cannibals. The showdown at the end was epic, though, as well as that porno. Gabester is awesome.

Well they aren't cannibals if their not human, but I get what you are saying ( ... )

You should read Neil Gaiman, he's awesome. (Seriously. I'm not a huge fan of American Gods because I'm a bit weak on my norse mythology, but Anansi Boys and Neverwhere remain some of my favorites ( ... )

Amen to all that!

Including Supernatural being derivative of a handful of other works...not as a bad thing. Even the writers talk about it, how their Lucifer is directly from Milton and "a handful of graphic novels." Not everything under the sun has to be 100% original. We'd get nowhere if people didn't play with each others ideas. Well, maybe not nowhere, but we'd certainly be missing out on a lot of great stuff!

I read Prachett (sp?) once I think...it was about Death being a woman. Anyway, reading Gaiman is on my to-do list, but it's not necessarily a priority on it. I will definitely keep it on there though. :)

More specifically, was it about a teenage girl who suddenly is Death's stand-in and Rock N' Roll to boot?

Because then that was definitely Pratchett. First book of his I ever read, but not probably his best. I love him to little pieces though. One of the few authors I'll buy hardcover.

Try "Guards, Guards!" or um... hmm..... ooh, Going Postal. That's one of my favorites.

Or check out the Sky One production of "the Hogfather"

I think her name was Susan. I can't remember how old she was. I remember the book was very amusing though. I should look into whether these dudes have audiobooks...I consume audiobooks faster than I consume regular books.

oh yeah, they do! They're really good! Stephen Briggs is amazing! (seriously, try going postal.)

Will do! Hopefully my job remains such that I can easily divide my attention :)
