Seven stars. Maybe only six. Sure, why not the Rabbit God? The more the
merrier, right? And it gives us a milieu to deal with Salim in a way that
makes some sense. It also leads to Laura's connection with Sweeney Junior. Liam's okay, I guess. And Iwan Rheon is a good actor. But he's such a bland
come-down after Sweeney. Tyr's play is revealed, to no surprize if anyone was
paying attention. And the confrontation between Tyr and Odin plays out exactly
as one would guess, given the participants. The Technical Boy/Bilquis
hallucination was awesome! The story is aiming at a sort of synthesis of Old
and New that Gaiman never considered in the text. And I think that's a cool
development. The big problem is that it's new development that's cropping up
when we've only got two more episodes to go. Too little, too late? 14 March
