I see it on my tab, it's nice, now it is obvious that this is the tab for American Gods stuff. Thanks Sparks!

This question/suggestion is not character related, but I couldn't find an appropriate spot for this post.

Anyways, what is the icon of this page? I mean when you open a new page, on the tab of the page u have a tiny image/logo and to one we have, what is it? Perhaps a red A or AG in the show's font would be better!?

My personal problem is that I have heaps of tabs open, don't see the title of the page only the logo and I keep having to go thru like 5 of them till I find this page. Simply cos I'm not associating that image with AG. Could we fix that?

Cheers!

Hold your horses! Even though I like the idea, this qualifies as a spoiler imo. So pls next time write "spoiler alert" so ppl who want to be genuinely amazed, can avoid reading any extra bit of info regarding the TV version of the story.

Wow, an hour long? That's something. Let's see if they said anything noteworthy.

I have to put it out there. I don't particularly like Shailene Woodley.. Otherwise it looks okay. Although I wouldn't go to the cinema for this.

What was it in the trailer that made you consider leaving ur place?

Same here... but if we mentioned oldies like Buffy, I want to nominate Weeds as a cool show to watch. I'm still at s05 but eventually I'll finish it. ;)

I recently saw a show called Angie Tribeca!? I was in the communal gym and I almost fell off the elliptical machine, cos I was laughing so hard... xD it's a bit over the top, but that's why I like it :'D

Damn you guys just made me waste a couple of months of my life. As in the future. ^^

I haven't seen any of these aside from Buffy ofc and a bunch of eps of Modern family, which couldn't really catch and hold my attention...

Supergirl, I was about to start. But currently I'm still catching up on Hannibal S03, Stranger Things(freaks me out), Wynonna Earp (why/how is this supposed to be good!?), Mr. Robot(outstanding as always), oh and what day is today? Friday? Then the new season of Dark Matter is airing tonight on Syfy, peeps with cable catch it (I don't have a TV only in the communal gym :P so..)

Coin tricks are there and so far they are flawless! :D Wanna see more! Kinda like:

"He opened his own hands, showed them, one after the other, to be completely empty. Then he pushed the glass eye into the leathery palm of the old man's hand and left it there.
"How did you do that?"
"Magic," said Shadow, without smiling.
[...]"Again." said the Lord of Asgard. "More. Do again."
"You people," said Shadow. "You are never satisfied.[...]"

Lemme see, lemme see!

From the top of my head (and I read the book the last time like 4!? years ago), when Shadow climbs the mountain made of bones and encounters the thunderbirds Or (I'm not sure if it's the same scene) when he is holding the vigil and ultimately dies for his dad. 

Nice! Ahh I'm so excited :D

I stand corrected, though that might've been due that when I googled "typical /stereotypical leprechaun" one of the pics were from Simpsons, and there were no pics from South Park, but you are right.

Initially I wanted to use "ginger" in my description, but I quickly googled it and according to this , turns out that's considered to be an offensive term in the UK, therefore just to stay in the clear I used a synonym. At the same time the US commenters said that they've been introduced to the word by the Simpsons in 2005... :D 

"doesn't look the part", maybe they will do something about it maybe not. He already proved himself as an actor, therefore I'm not worried about that department. I simply wanted to see a "stereotypical" leprechaun, like Harris with his natural red hair.

Regardless, even if I'm not too excited about this change, A) I cannot do anything about it, B) they can still make it spectacular and the actor can also help in that. 

Blackface, well yeah, kinda, though more like when a character supposed to be, let's say Asian, then I'd prefer if the actor would be Asian, rather than white or anything else for that matter. Isn't that "whitewashing"?

Who, Schreiber? I know that Eliza is in Thumper with Lena Headey, but there is no comprehensive info about the cast (eg. no info on imdb). There are articles, but that doesn't feel complete... What's your source?

I'm not sure how I feel about that... He physically doesn't really fit the character description. Sure nowadays with makeup a white actor can play a black man, but what about authenticity? Or they couldn't find someone with visible Irish ancestry? 

"The Canadian-born Schreiber doesn’t physically look the part the way Harris does, but one would presume he made up for it with his acting chops."1 This is also my hope, but still, it's bothering me a bit.

Have you seen this ? I mean I'm already thrilled that my fav book, Good Omens, is being adapted, but now, according to that article, my second fav book will be transformed into a TV series as well! :D :D I can't believe that, it's the best news I've heard this year!

That's a bloody shame. Wonder who will fill in that role in the end!? Any news on that? I mean if they'll actually go with the books structure (mild spoiler) he is one of the first characters Shadow meets, as if I remeber correctly, so this must be an urgent problem to fix..

Jason Momoa, hmm, yes, good call. So you also had a bigger gentleman in mind? ^^

To kinda start the discussion. I'm gonna comment on our lead, Shadow.

First of all, I do love Ricky, I think he is a terrific actor and suitable for the role, thus I'm glad he ended up being Shadow. However, before I heard that he will portray our hero, I always pictured, from Gaiman's description, Shadow as an even bigger, more robust guy. Someone closer to "the Rock". 

Apparently I'm not alone, lol I just googled it and this "Dream cast " popped up. :D
