Neil Gaiman's American Gods Coming To Starz

[TheGodling]

The book was pretty good for the first two-thirds or so but then it really started to drift off aimlessly until it burst into a ridiculous climax that just fell completely flat. I like Gaiman but this book definitely had better ideas than it had execution.

I can understand that, but in the fantasy I read I don't see to much of that, ie blacks being cast as savages. Its more often that blacks just aren't mentioned at all, lke in the fantasy I read like Warhammer fantasy and sci-fi Warhammer 4k.

That said the black fantasy I've reaad has been terrible, like the Acacia series, which is black written but simply poorly told story with weak characters. IMHO

Have you read the Thousand kingdom series? Also if you read Scifi check out the Aubrey Knight series.

Nah I haven't can you give me a quick run down in your words?

It's a young girl at war with her family for her ancestral throne, her mom kinda left their home land years ago to marry outside of her people. She doesn't really want to deal with it , but is tossed into the fray anyway.

I suck at explaining things.

Okay, i do't really do women centered stories.

That's understandable . I typically don't either. You should try Aubrey Knight then.

 

[Jello Biafra]

He isnt really a showrunner/writer I follow.
I just looked him up though and the only show of his that I liked was Pushing Daisies

You really need to binge watch Hannibal. That show was amazing.

I watched it on NBC. I gave it 4 shots and I couldn't get into it. Just not my type of show

I'm on Part 2 of the book and I love it. Shadow isn't really much of anything, just there, but the Gods are witty, stubborn and deceptive...I'm loving them.

I am wondering how it all plays out, since it wasn't a series.

Shadow is pretty much a big slab of meat. The Gods are the ones with the personality in the book.

Really? I loved everything about Hannibal and visually it was one of the best looking shows on TV.

cinematography was excellent, just nothing that pulled me in like Manhunter did

 

[dennis roadman]

Gaiman is the most overrated writer of our time
