I think he was perfect for that part. I've also liked show-dead-wife more than I remember liking her in the book. Though, when I read the book, I was a teenager in my first relationship and thought of cheating as some lovecraftian horror that only unredeemable non-humans could ever think of committing, so she never had a fair chance. As an adult, who has since experienced being cheated on and dealt with it, I can muster more sympathy for her.

TV dead wife was way more interesting because her story was where fuller was going to direct more energy to making the show unique from the book

Expanding Laura's role was a great idea. I think Git Gone was one of the stronger episodes of the first season, and Emily Browning is nearly identical to how I imagined Laura Moon. Audrey was the real highlight of the first season.

drat, this show had such incredible promise after that first season. When are studios going to realize that you don't simply hire Bryan Fuller to make a TV show, you become his patron to subsidize artistry.

Guys I have great news! I was just cast to play Mr. World in the upcoming season of American gods! I didn't even audition or anything, and I'm also not an actor, they just called me and asked me to do it. Super excited! Edit; unfortunately, due to creative differences I have decided to move on from American gods. My most sincere thanks to Ian McShane, middle aged woke hat guy, and others who I had a great working relationship with and wish nothing but the best for going forward.

I had three voicemails when I got up this morning. One congratulating me on being the new showrunner of American Gods, the second asking me if I'd like to be new showrunner on American Gods, and the third informing me my services as showrunner of American Gods were no longer required.

Does it get worse? It gets worse! Orlando Jones posted:I showed up in Season 2 of American Gods, and they hadn’t written for my character at all. They certainly knew I was coming. That was literally the studio’s job. And they didn’t do that job. And I wasn’t the only person: They didn’t do it for all of the characters of color. So if you really care about these characters of color, then why don’t you write for them? So I found myself in a very odd situation, because Neil Gaiman was the one who asked me to write a [character] Bible for Mr. Nancy [at the start of Season 2]. I didn’t jump into the writing process and throw my weight around. I was invited by Neil Gaiman. And when I wrote that character Bible and sent it to him, I got back a message I wasn’t expecting. As a fan of the human and, you know, as a writer myself, I was overjoyed. It was all caps the email, you know, “I F–KING LOVE IT. Spread it around.” …I spread around that character Bible. And I suddenly found myself writing, not just Mr. Nancy, but Ibis and Salim and the Jinn and Sam Black Crow and Shadow Moon and all of the characters of color who weren’t written. Bolding mine, because he's the main loving character!

Fire everyone and make Orlando Jones the new showrunner. In fact, cancel American Gods and lets just have the Mr. Nancy show featuring Mr. Wednesday because thats where all the good poo poo is.

i get the feeling that someone involved just really loving hates Orlando Jones. Im just going to pretend it got cancelled after one season. its easier that way. Just like the Matrix.
