The montage of Bilbo collecting ingredients for his 111th birthday party would be incredible.

http://tvline.com/2018/04/03/american-gods-season-2-new-media-gillian-anderson/ Gillian Anderson's leaving is official, but it appears that they're not so much recasting as creating a new character to take up the role of "New Media". Which is a little bullshit given that's Technical Boy's field, but whatever. Bet they'll cast Greta Lee.

I forgot how much I enjoy looking at Ricky Whittle, so coming across that was a nice surprise this morning, if nothing else. Also has anyone picked up the season one Blu-ray or DVD? Any cool extra features or anything?

I’m binging through S1 because I have a free week of Starz. I really like it, though it’s amazing Bryan Fuller Bryan Fullered himself AGAIN. Whatever budget he had for this was working, the show looks great, why’d he get himself booted by demanding 10 million? Also Kristin Chenoweth creeps me out. I dunno how much work she’s gotten done but her face has a weird uncanny valley thing going on.

Fuller makes good TV but at this point why would anyone even hire him anymore? If you bring him on, you've got like maybe a 25% chance of getting a single great season of a show that's critically acclaimed but with poor ratings before he bails on you, and basically no chance of getting a second season out of him.

Everyone wants the next Hannibal, or failing that at least a solid season of American Gods to jump off from. Maybe they'll finally learn those were the exceptions.

He just needs to get some streaming service to give him a blank check for the prestige.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:But he still hosed up on Discovery because he couldn't get scripts finished on time. Well, the problem there was he was spread too thin with also trying to make American Gods happen. Just one project at a time, Bryan. It worked with Pushing Daisies and Hannibal.

Hiro Murai is doing better work on television than Bryan Fuller. Atlanta and Barry don't have to worry about him jumping ship either.

Yeah, Hannibal was a great show, but no one whose job it is to make money on tv shows is going to point at it and say "Give me that."

All I know about Anne Rice personally is that she spent a lot of time suing the crap out of people who wrote fanfiction of her work, so I wouldn't be surprised.

I have no desire to see anything based on Anne Rice's work, so i'm not exactly sad that he left the project. I just hope that Fuller realizes that he is making a reputation for himself as someone you can't trust to stay with a project.

I impulse bought the Blu-Ray for $10 or something similar during a trip to Wal-Mart or Target and I forgot I had until this comment reminded me. I think I'll take some time to start watching it tonight. I can't speak to the quality of the special features, but there sure are a lot listed: - "The Road to American Gods" Documentary - Title Gods - God Squad Video Commentary -American Gods origins - Old Gods - New Gods - What is American Gods? (Knowing nothing about the feature, that sure seems like a weird thing to have on a TV series I've bought) - Book vs Show - Explore the Crocodile Bar in 360 Degrees with commentary by cast and crew - Audio commentaries with cast and crew

I thought her son had taken over the vampire sex book empire entirely now.

I'm pretty psyched to see where the show goes. As much as everyone else in this thread is gonna disagree with me here, I hope season 2 (and ?onward?) sticks more closely to the book.

I'm cautiously optimistic, for all the back-stage drama that occurred I still think there is enough drive to keep this train on the tracks. I do hope they can keep the cinematic style because some of those shots like the snow scene or the lynching/massacre were stylish as gently caress. And of course, more bad luck-leprechaun slapstick.

If nothing else, Neil Gaiman is someone that cares a lot about what his name gets put on (which, after BBC's Neverwhere, who can blame him?) so I'd say he's trying his absolute damndest to make it good, and it's not like he has zero experience with film/television. Still think Good Omens is gonna end up being huge.
