oyetpel:Episode 7 reveals they go way back. I believe Laura is the reincarnation of Essie. Mad sweeny maybe feels obligated for old time sake or maybe it must be freely given back. The flies are around because Laura'd body is still slowly decomposing. |

1StopRudeness:The story is non linear. Try to read the book. |

Gmajor:Very true for most tv adapted books, but trust me this one is different. You will enjoy the show better if you read the book. |

dragonking3:What you call religion still has their pagan origin, but thats another kettle of fish entirely. The book and show didnt feature a christain 'god' but the e03 dialogue involved reference to different 'jesus'- black jesus, white jesus, swarthy greek jesus, mexican jesus doing well across america. They even jested that the hispanic jesus swam across the border to get to america. |

dragonking3:Dont get me wrong. I am not trying to slight the Islamic religion, but you will agree there are fantasies even in mainstream religions by false gospels or hadiths. For example 'bel and the dragon' a biblical aprochypa book is mostly fantasies. |

The show storyline is non linear as many may be used to. It fully follows the book in a brilliant way. |
TV/Movies / Re: Who Is Watching "American Gods" by Akanniade(m): 9:32pm On May 15, 2017 |
siempere:The writer tries to weave superstition , mythical account of various cultures that found its way to america. For example in episode 3, two old gods were introduced; anubis of the egyptian underworld who brings the dead for judgement and ifrit an arabian djinn. The 2 xters went out of their way to remain relevant in a world where tech boy and media- new gods were taking over. 1 Like |

dragonking3:The series is about gods brought to america, by explorers, slavery , migration etc. Her power is seduction, she craves adoration. Its symbolic of the modern day slay queens, serial divorcee ruining men. |

dhsfbi:Its based on a book of same title. Its about clash of old and new gods with vested interest in america. Its majorly symbolic. It would make most sense to those who have read the book or have rich knowledge of history. The episodes so far is about team old gods; led by wednesday-nordic Odin, rallying other gods for epic battle against the new gods of technology. Wednesday co-opts shadow an ex-con to carry out his mission. Filled with spartacus styled sex scene and gory slashing of limbs, it actually brings the book to life. |

Mekanus:Its not you regular fantasy series. They are following the book almost to the letter. The characters are symbolic of different gods of antiquity past seeking relevance or 'worship' in a modern age where the new gods are technology, social media and gadgets. It infuses other themes into the storyline too. You need to be conversant with history to fully enjoy this show. Wednesday, gathers the old gods to confront the new ones growing stronger by the day. |
