Starz: American Gods 3 episodes in and I'm soooo confused. Am I going to have to read the novel to understand what the heck I'm watching? And yet I watch. Yes it has gratuitous sex, but it's sooo weird and even then I'm left totally confused with what I just watched. Did the guy become a Geni or Magi or whatever, now he's driving cabs? And he's happy about it? Wait, what? Who is the woman "swallowing" (if that's what you can call it) her worshippers/lovers? Is the guy who robbed the bank the devil? What's with the choosing doors after you die? I am getting a kick out of the Leprechaun, he's the most understandable one so far. Maybe because I know what a Leprechaun is so he's easy even if he's a bit different than the commonly know legends. That ain't even half my questions. I think it's the complicated storyline that intrigues me, it looks like it's going somewhere but I'mma be ticked if it's goes-nowhere-ville and I invest too many episodes on it. | |

My favorite novel, my favorite author. There are small interludes in the book called "Somewhere in America", a title card is seen when they take place in the series. Some of them are not going to be ongoing stories, they're more like backstory, or bits of information to let you know that their is both old, and new, and that there's struggles taking place (that sounds cryptic, but I don't want to spoil anything). The woman eating people with her vagina is Bilquis, she is the Queen of Sheba from the Bible. She asks her lovers to "worship her", and, well, you've seen the rest. They've done a pretty decent job of portraying her in the series thus far, but the first scene with her was much more intense in the book.

I kept seeing the trailer for American Gods while I was watching the series finale of Black Sails..I Love stories about mythical Gods but the trailer did not win me over..I decided to wait and see if anyone liked it then I'll record it when they do a Marathon... | |

I'm old enough to remember when the only "Starz" was a great rock band with that name. They were certainly American ROCK gods! | |
