I had to watch this a second time (after mistakenly reading a comment about a different episode, but also after looking up Tyr in Norse mythology).... Tyr, from whom we get the word Tuesday, is both a god of war, and a god who protects and enforces the law.
Odin sacrificed an eye in the search of wisdom, but Tyr sacrificed an arm to protect the rule of law.
I think Tyr has an axe to grind with Wednesday.
Got a little bump of dopamine seeing Bilquis dance, and Shadow's new relationship develop!
you want it darker? this is the episode!
As always great audio & video production but have no idea what’s going on.
I was wondering what was the point of Salim since the beginning, so here's his time, negotiating for Laura with Mr World. That was nice.
Still not a fan of the whole Bilquis thing, how many times do we need to watch her dance in a trance ? Boring enough to bury the interesting parts in the middle. She's the only one that can find Shadow's half ? I certainly hope they do not mean Laura, because... his wife ? Not that hard to find. And Shadow is supposed to lead them. Who are them ? The gods ? Not clear who the old lady is, doesn't look like she's a goddess, but is pretty familiar with gods.
Shadow Moon's part in this episode that is pretty much just flirting... Except he's seeing... Ganesh ?
The ending sequence on Leonard Cohen is just beautiful though.
Yes, I'm liking it more, and what a song by Leonard Cohen.

All scenes and storylines with Wednesday are great, but the endless portentous, pretentious dream sequences are tedious in the extreme, and especially for a show that literally never goes anywhere.
