For this round, we take a look at Omid Abtahi's Salim and where he finds himself in a world where his god the Jinn (Mousa Kraish) has forsaken him.[caption id="attachment_1297523" align="aligncenter" width="600"] American Gods focuses on Omid Abtahi's Salim in Season 3 (Image: STARZ)[/caption]In the clip below, Abtahi explains that Salim will be running away[...]

But after a return that gave the series a gritty, ensemble feel - with a season finale that literally (no joke) had us on the edge of our seats (even though we generally knew how it was going to end) - things are looking good heading into production on Season 3 (more on that below).[caption[...]

With both real and metaphorical hatchet in hand, Shadow cuts loose from his fears to fight back against New Media's assault - taking back a level of control and demonstrating a slight but important crack in World's plan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdmwOxwjiYA● With Salim (Omid Abtahi), you have the perfect example of fear via media: ready to believe anything[...]

When the end credits rolled on last week's STARZ American Gods episode "Treasure of the Sun," things were looking dire for the old gods. Mad Sweeney's (Pablo Schreiber) servitude to Wednesday came to an end – at the business end of Gungnir. But with Mad Sweeney being the Irish warrior god-king that he is/was/may never have been, he […]

When the dust settled on last week's episode of STARZ's American Gods "Treasure of the Sun," things were looking dire for the old gods. Mad Sweeney's (Pablo Schreiber) servitude to Wednesday came to an end – at the business end of Gungnir. But with Mad Sweeney being Ireland's forgotten warrior god-king Lugh, he wasn't going […]

Last week's episode of STARZ's American Gods' second season left both sides of the old gods/new gods war with a little something of what they wanted. For the old gods, Wednesday (Ian McShane) and Shadow (Ricky Whittle) walked away with a newly-rune-recharged Gungnir (thanks to the stylings of Lou Reed); while World (Crispin Glover) saw New Media (Kahyun Kim) […]

We've all been where Amercian Gods' Ricky Whittle has been: that dark limbo of despair and longing for that one present we wanted when we were a kid that we never got. For us, it was about getting our hands on either Combattra, Dangard Ace, or Raideen from Mattel's Shogun Warriors collection – the pretty […]

Last week's episode of STARZ's American Gods season 2 left Wednesday (Ian McShane) and Shadow (Ricky Whittle) with a newly-rune-recharged Gungnir (thanks to the stylings of Lou Reed), while World (Crispin Glover) looked to New Media (Kahyun Kim) to bring some righteous social media fire power down on his side. But as important as those […]

So last week's episode "The Ways of the Dead" wasn't exactly the season's high point – especially coming off of a stellar effort the previous week and a season that's had a nice flow and build to it. Thankfully, STARZ's series adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods got itself back on track – and back on the […]

So last week's episode "The Ways of the Dead" wasn't exactly the season's high point (won't beat the issue to death: feel free to check out my review here). Thankfully, STARZ's series adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods looks to be getting itself back on track – and back on the road – with this week's episode "Donar the Great." […]

When he's not rolling around the highways and byways of America with "All-Father" Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) on STARZ's series adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Shadow Moon's Ricky Whittle appears to be sporting some serious geek cred. Where's our proof? This weekend's edition of Marvel's Earth's Mightest Show, where Whittle sat down with host […]

But even with Jinn (Mousa Kraish) and Salim (Omid Abtahi) successful on their mission to secure Wednesday’s (Ian McShane) weapon, and Wednesday and Laura (Emily Browning) effectively taking out “The Eye in the Sky” that was Argus - things weren’t looking too shabby for the new gods, either.Mr World (Crispin Glover) got his “media” back[...]

But even with Jinn (Mousa Kraish) and Salim (Omid Abtahi) successful on their mission to secure Wednesday's (Ian McShane) weapon, and Wednesday and Laura (Emily Browning) effectively taking out "The Eye in the Sky," things weren't just shaping up for the old ones.On the new god side, Mr World (Crispin Glover) got his "media" back[...]

The Jinn and Salim set out to retrieve the Gungnir spear, and Shadow encounters an associate of Mr World. Now here's a look at our key takeaways from the episode:● The back-and-forth between Mr Town (Dean Winters) and Shadow during Shadow's interrogation scenes demonstrated just the right amount of antagonistic respect and disgust, and definitely deserving[...]

The Jinn and Salim set out to retrieve the Gungnir spear, and Shadow encounters an associate of Mr World. Probably the best way for me to begin my review of STARZ's American Gods season 2 premiere "House on the Rock" is to address 800 lb "Bryan Fuller" in the corner of the room While I[...]
