This was such a beautiful ep. I could watch a full movie of Essie and Leprechaun's (mis)Adventures.

OMG THE LADY FROM THE OTHERS!

Fionnula is a legend! Even with guest-stars, this show's casting is ace!

Right? I do wish the roadtrip had lasted a bit longer...but at least it's not like they all won't run into one another again in the future hehe.

Their voices are just perfect, so incredibly soothing to listen to ♥

Same! I really appreciate that they didn't just make her awful to EVERYONE (boy, imagine the tumblr think pieces on that...). She rightfully goes toe-to-toe with a fellow asshole, but also knows how to be to someone genuinely kind.

I'm going to miss the hell out of this show not being here for us on a weekly basis, but I'm already ready for S2 and all the stories ahead of us ♥

They're all screaming and whining (same on Twitter) about how too good Mad S. is for her and he should have let her die because she's useless and I'm like... You saw and heard Mad S. doing awful things on Wednesday's name to mess up with Shadow AND if it wasn't for Laura, Shadow would be dead by now but sure, she's useless? Come on... I hate defending her, she's awful but she's not worst than Mad S. and she's definitely not useless.

It's disturbing how much a fandom can so easily hate and criticize female characters for actions that I suspect they'd celebrate/enjoy if it were a male character (especially for the slash potential). In that last discussion you had with another user in the previous post, I do wonder how many posts are out there talking about how awful Sweeney/Tech Boy are in what they've done in the story so far.

Killer 🐰

Pablo can insert a coin in me any day .

Salim too adorable " you are a very bad creature " . The song Tehran 1979 from the soundtrack is such a bop

[rakugaking]

Animals in this show, man... I love it, haha!

Salim/Omid is too precious for this world.

“YOU ARE AN UNPLEASANT CREATURE” IS AS “FUCK YOU” AS SALIM GETS @AbtahiOmid @schreiber_pablo #AMERICANGODS @andmichaelgreen #GAWDS

#AmericanGods fans have me looking up what "Cinnamon Roll" means 😏

You're all too sweet!

I hate the term cinnamon roll but Salim/not Salim truly is one .

I love that he called him a "creature"

[rakugaking]

Haha, same, I can't use that term with a straight face. But yeah, if there was ever a character that fit that description, it's definitely Salim.

[sharktoothdecay]

wait can mad sweeny turn into a wolf?

[su_metal]

No, I don't think so. Why?

[sharktoothdecay]

because i thought he caused the crash that killed laura
maybe i'm getting things confused

[su_metal]

oh right! I didn't see a wolf but yeah, that makes sense

I've never read the books or seen the show but I didn't know Kristen Chenoweth was in this. I might start watching just for her.

That guy climbing the mountain of skulls and talking to that animal head made me think of Homer eating that hot pepper at the chilli competition and then hallucinating his night away talking to that coyote voiced by Johnny Cash lol.

[rakugaking]

There are quite a few folks unhappy with the casting, due to the character she's portraying (she's definitely a bit curvier in the books), but from the few scenes they've shown of her so far, I think Kristin is going to kill it in this role =) Hope you give it a try, it might be a bit confusing for some parts, but overall it's very fun and the cast is fantastic!
