Without going too deeply into spoilers - the enmity between Dream and Desire is eons old, and is due to a whimsical decision by Desire that hurt and deeply offended Dream...I think an earlier post may have already cited what happened. Fables and Reflections has one story that specifically establishes Desire getting the idea to have Dream spill family blood, and it's one that I hope they adapt.

I think that "The Sound of Her Wings" is honestly one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen, how is it even possible that Netflix hasn't renewed this show yet?

Gaiman tweeted last week that folks are watching the show, just not in the weekend-binge model Netflix favors, which could be complicating a renewal decision.

Oh thank god. I guess we should expect Season of Mists and A Game of You, though I wonder how they'll pace it.

Sounds great.

Guess Dream is now going to be played by Luke Hemsworth

Excellent news.

Question for the comic fans. How much exposure does Hob get? Is he a one-shot character or a recurring one?

Oh, he makes quite a few more appearances as a supporting character.

Cool, so we might see him pop up occasionally in the future.

If *fingers crossed* the comic gets adapted in its entirety, he has a very poignant appearance near its end.

I hope we get some one-shots (like the Season 1 bonus episode with Dream of a Thousand Cats and Calliope) from Fables and Reflections.

[up] Any of the stories from Fables and Reflections would be fantastic to adapt. I also want them to try and tackle "A Midsummer Night's Dream" from Dream Country.

I would love for the story of Emperor Norton I to be adapted, just because we get to rub it in Desire's (and, to a lesser extent, Despair's) face even more here.

Are you kidding? Matt Berry as Destruction is unironically amazing. If BRIAN BLESSED is too old for the part, Berry is a perfect second.

Matt Berry needs to be kept for the Tom Bombadil shoehorn in current and future Lord of the Rings projects.

There's a deleted scene on the Sandman twitter account here.

The scene is an extension of Dream questioning humanity's attitude towards Death's gift. Death mentions taking one day every hundred years to be human to see how she'd like it, after a dying girl once said that very phrase to her.

Gaiman tweets that the upcoming Dead Boy Detectives show is a Sandman TV spinoff after all.

It will make their origin a lot cleaner at least (and we will definitely get the Season of Mists boarding school issue in some form). I vaguely remember it being announced as a Doom Patrol spinoff, so I wonder if it only happened because the show got moved to Netflix.

Lil bump: Indya Moore was spotted filming with Sturridge and Howell-Baptiste. No word on who they’re playing but Wanda is a popular guess.
