Loved the reveal of agent Featherstone, I really didn't see that one coming. Also nice that Hoover has been on screen for five seconds and already been established as being somewhat slow and bumbling. Assuming Starr is German in the show like he is in the book, I'm curious as to how they will pronounce his name. In my mind (I'm a German native speaker) his name had nothing to do with a "star" ("Stern" in German, pronounced "shtern") but it was the German adjective "starr" (pronounced "shtarr") meaning "stiff" or "rigid" which I always thought was a nice bit of foreshadowing to his eventual head modification and all other dick-related stuff he's got coming in his future. So if they pronounce his name with a "sh", it will make me unreasonably happy. Also curious what the K is going to stand for, as he never had a first name in the comic. Karl? Klaus? Kevin? Keanu? Zaphod42 posted:And did everybody notice the sorta-subtle "Hitler!" audio when he appeared? That was pretty great, I think. Just in case there was any doubt as to who it was. Yeah, there were definitely echoes of a crowd yelling "Heil Hitler", which was a bit gratuitous to my mind. Eh, could have been worse, they could have slapped a huge screen-filling caption on him like for the Saint of Killers...

Nothing but a celebration of failure. Over and over again, eternally.

I'm the comics, his one shot has the Allfather recounting the story of his revenge, and he notes that during the attack the kids said "a star for Starr".

I don't think so, or at least can't think of what it could be. They already used Odin Quincannon, that's about the only thing where you could conceivably claim a relation to pigs.

It might be his name for Allfather D'Aronique, and having a file on his desk that says "Pig" draws less attention than one that advertises its full of dirt on his boss.

Medullah posted:I think it's just an indicator that Jesse isn't a "HOLY poo poo DROP EVERYTHING" priority..... yet. Definitely, but there was an idea there. They could have just said "John Smith" or some other normal dude name. Somebody picked "Pig" for a reason. That's not insignificant. My Lovely Horse posted:I don't think so, or at least can't think of what it could be. They already used Odin Quincannon, that's about the only thing where you could conceivably claim a relation to pigs. Maybe it IS a report on Quincannon, updated to reflect recent events? That's my only idea, other than something crazy they're planning for the show up ahead. Or just something random.

I wouldn't be too worried: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) If they're keeping H&CF on, they can keep this on. Each episode barely cracks 300k. Last season's finale didn't even do that.

Aha! I knew that Hitler looked familiar. Turns out he has previous Hitlering experience, as he was Hitler in the John Cusack movie Max. I feel comfortable that he will meet all our Hitler needs going forward. (The actors name is Noah Harris, if anyone is curious. He was also in the most excellent western movie The Proposition, which if you haven't seen I recommend you do at first opportunity).

I was pretty excited to see Malcolm Barrett in the show as the bartender. He was in Timeless, and more importantly was Lem in Better off Ted. Then I realized who he was playing and I got upset cause I like Malcolm Barrett, and know what happens in the comics to his character. But god drat is it good casting.

Also, it's entirely possible that we haven't been shown the part where the Saint of Killers kills Satan on his way out of Hell because he insults him (or in this case the SoK kills him merely for being in charge of his torment). That might explain why Hell is breaking down organizationally, but they can't reveal that yet. This series is really fond of advancing the story and filling you in later on as to the 'why' of things.

Hidingo Kojimba posted:Nah she's fine. She only did anal, remember? The hosed thing is that under Christian dogma (especially in this series where Heaven and Hell are real) she'd get into Heaven on a technicality, though probably only following a LONG stint in Purgatory because she might have been technically murdered by her mother, but she did semi-unsuccessfully attempt to take her own life (and not even for a good reason), which if she'd succeeded would have been a "Go directly to Hell, do not pass Go" situation.

Leaving aside how many different versions of "Christian dogma" there actually are, the way the TV series is going Heaven and Hell seem to be run more like highly dysfunctional government departments that infallible servants of God. I'm actually kind of interested to see where they're going with this hell subplot.

drat that was a good fight scene for TV! Hard hits, lots of improvised weapons and smashing, and nice long consistent camerawork so you can actually keep track of the action! Man I was so bummed on mainstream action for a long time following all the Bourne-style shakey cam poo poo, hopefully Daredevil's given everybody an example of how to do fight scenes properly and we can get more poo poo like this!

Yes, Eugene, kick the man who is known as the most evil person who managed to convince an entire nation to commit genocide with just his words. I'm glad they are portraying Hitler as a man who is physically and confrontationally weak. Because him being a complete badass in Hell would've been way too easy and uninteresting.

Agree completely. Also like that Hitler's Hell is apparently having a Jewish man tell him his drawings are crap; AND that we don't actually get the payoff of seeing it. (Although a future episode may change that)

Hell as a militaristic police state that has bureaucratic fuckups and a repairman on call is a pretty incredible vision of Hell.
