YMMV / American Gods S 1 E 8 "Come to Jesus"

Go To

  • Captain Obvious Reveal: Wednesday is Odin. Any casual scholar of Norse Mythology should figure out that one about five seconds after meeting him, from obvious references to his mythology such as his Clever Crows and false eye, and the fact that several gods refer to him as either Grimnir or Wotan, names associated with Odin. And of course the "Odin" missile in "Lemon Scented You," said to be deaths in Wednesday's name.
  • Squick: Laura's fly thing has now graduated to sicking up fair-sized maggots, which she vomits after arriving at Ostara's mansion.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The episode starts with a story by Nancy about how Bilquis fell from worship and wants us to feel sorry for her, but that's a bit difficult to do considering that anyone who sleeps with her (her primary form of worship) tends to be literally swallowed whole into her vagina, where they end up in a nebula of sorts that feeds her soul. Not to mention, her followers died during the AIDS epidemic.
