It looks interesting. The male dominated cast makes me side eye a bit.

This is actually why they decided to expand on the stories of both Laura Moon and Bilquis, according to Bryan Fuller's own words :

. @BryanFuller and @andmichaelgreen expanded the female characters so it wasn't such a "sausage party." #AmericanGods #SXSW

I did wish we'd get a glimpse of Gillian as Media =) but I'm okay with some surprises.

i need this

[rakugaking]

Same! The weather is horrible right now so I'm going to wait to get my comics tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to checking it out =)

I'm so beyond hyped, have over a month to go still, thankfully I have other shows to keep me busy in the meantime.

I'm glad they're expanding on female roles, going into Laura's backstory, making Bilquis into an actual character outside of her memorable scene and apparently also Audrey Burton (had to look her up, that's how memorable the character was) has a sizable role in the show.

[rakugaking]

Same =) and yeah I'm really glad they're doing this for certain characters. I'm already loving that quick scene of Bilquis and her past that we see in the trailer!

And yup, haha, I had wondered why she was being featured quite a bit in the panels (no offense of course to the actress) but I didn't realize they'd do that for Audrey as well. Will be interesting to see, though her relationship to both Laura and Shadow is pretty significant, especially if they're going to give us more Laura backstory!

[ivy_b]

Yeah, them fleshing out Bilquis and her past is good in my book, hopefully her killer sex scenes are kept to a minimum, just that one would be enough for me, even then I imagine it'll be awkward watching it with my mom, lol.

I don't remember anything about Audrey (besides what wiki tells me), so I'm definitely intrigued by her having more of a presence and them exploring Laura's backstory.

I decided to go back to twitter after a few months and this is the first thing i saw, it was a sign. SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS!!!
