    American Gods was first published as a novel, not a comic book or graphic novel, even though Neil Gaiman has written a number of graphic novels.

      I did not know that. I get muddled about Gaiman because, mmm, Amanda Palmer.

        Yup, it was a straight up fiction novel. It's much better than your average pulp novel, though you wouldn't find it listed with the great literature of the era.

            It was written in 2001. It probably is among the great literature of the era. We're not talking a real strong period for literature.

              I may be wrong but I think it premiered at like half the numbers of Agents of Shield so it needs to hold an audience or it will be in trouble. Although it does have the added benefit of being an X-Men show which Fox has rights too.

                Doesn't sound bad based on this article I found. It was better than most of the Netflix stuff IMO. I really liked it.

                  I don't really read fiction, and even *I* loved the novel. I could not put it down. Read it in one sitting (flying from COS to MPLS).

                      From the, "I, I did not know that" file....I was watching Air Crash Investigation but joined in a bit late on this particular episode. Find out it's for a crash from the early 90's, then discover it's from "Lauda Air". [Huh, never heard of it]. Later they're interviewing the owner of airline as he played an active role in the investigation himself. Niki Lauda. [Hmm, name sounds familiar]. Jump on Google and yep, same guy as the former F1 driver depicted in the movie Rush.

                        Accused of murder, a man's lawyer uses raw LA Dodgers/Curb Your Enthusiasm footage to prove him innocent. True story.
                        Not that hard-hitting, but very interesting. The chances of this happening is crazy. Worth a time-kill.

                            Marvel and Netflix have delayed THE PUNISHER and canceled the panel at New York Comic-Con.

                            Seems like they were going to drop the entire series as a surprise this weekend after they held their panel at NYCC. Obviously with current events, it's not really the time/place for a character like Frank Castle. Seems like Dec. or Jan. is the planned schedule now....

                              Anyone watching that new Tina Fey show? Can't decide if that one would be worth it.

                              But I may get a spot opening up from the Orville. Just can't make up my mind on that one. I thought it was originally billed as a comedy but other than a few marginal one liners, it seems to be more of a serious Star Trek show.

                                The Orville is trying to do serious Star Trek subjects, but then add comedy one-liners throughout the script. It's okay, but not anything great. It'll likely be axed before the end of the season, or simply not get renewed.
