Seven stars. Lots of moving bits here. Threads are being drawn together. It's as if the writers are finally finding a sense of urgency to get on with
things. We continue to hit the actual story-beats in Lakeside. Although Ganesh
showing up is pretty damn arbitrary. Danny Trejo continues to be awesome.
Cordelia (I keep wondering if that name-choice is foreshadowing) is a great
add-on character. Having more humans in the story grounds it for we, the
mortal audience. That's why Salim is such a good addition as well. He
continues to be the best part of the Salim/Laura story. His negociation scene
is just glorious. Sad to say, the Bilquis story is turning into progressive
agitprop. Politics always weakens a good story. That's just as true here as
it is in Clint Eastwood movies. And, we finally see, Tyr isn't an affable,
retired war god. And he isn't about to forgive Odin. 13 March 2024.
