You want a major death? A plot twist? Revelations? Drama? Naked Ricky Whittle? The American Gods Season 3 finale had it all.
In this edition of Shat on TV, Gene and Ash cover the symbolism of the World Tree, the tragedy of Shadow Moon's aspirations, the evolution of Laura Moon's character, and what's next for Starz' little show that could.
Two massive storylines came to an end in Season 3, Episode 9: "The Lake Effect." Laura took her shot at Mr. Wednesday, and Shadow Moon took his shot at solving the disappearances in Lakeside.
Did we see a new romance emerging? Did we see another romance end? Why was Czernobog so pivotal, and why does Ash believe this season has Stephen King's fingerprints all over it?
Catch this edition of Shat on TV: American Gods before the upcoming season finale.
If "American Gods" didn't just deliver us its best episode, it certainly delivered its most complete. Odin and Tyr gave us action. Salim and the people of the Grand Peacock Inn gave us love and wonder. Technical Boy earned a few chuckles. Liam Doyle brought a new mystery, and Laura Moon (of all people) fostered compassion and cheers.
In seven episodes, "American Gods" Season 3 has set the table for an exciting chess match between Tyr and Mr. Wednesday. "Fire and Ice" revealed the true hand behind recent events, broke Shadow Moon's sexual tension, struck a bargain between Mr. World and Laura Moon, and killed off Marilyn Manson.
Ash decodes who "The Other" might be. Gene excitedly points out Ganesha, and Black Girl Couch writes in.
It's an all-Gene episode as disaster strikes the Shat on TV crew! This solo podcast covers Season 3, Episode 5 of American Gods: "Sister Rising."
Gene Lyons covers Technical Boy's original story, the Mechanical Turk, and Mr. Wednesday's newest grift.
Ash calls in to talk Bilquis and the redefinition of characters, and Laura Moon gives us a lesson on the afterlife.
