    I also didn't particularly like american gods

    it felt medium and left very little impression. I liked the one midwestern town where
    they sacrificed a car and a person every winter to some god by drowning them in the ice lake? Was that even from this book or from something else?

    but that's about all I can remember of it.

    How much time have you dedicated to figuring out Odos dick situation

    i mean mechanically it seems pretty simple

    he basically demonstrated it when he was showing bashir how he can make it look like he's drinking from the glass and then refilling it

    my real question is

    what kind of length and girth did he go for

    he's a no-nonsense kind of fella, but takes pride in his work, so i would assume just slightly above average, you know, just enough to be noteworthy, but not ostentatious

    someone replied on that twitter that those rubber suits don't breathe at all and the people are rushing out so the dancer doesn't suffocate

    Remember watching an episode of How it's Made on making mascot costumes. They get to the part of installing what looks like a small PC fan for "ventilation and comfort" to the helmet/mask and I was like hell no that's not enough.

    So seriously. If I didn't enjoy the book. Ya'll think I may like the American Gods show?

    That's how it worked out with the first season of TWD. So, who knows.

    if you didn't enjoy the book i don't even know how to communicate with you in a meaningful way because you clearly come from some alien race whose entire concept of language and its use is inconceivable to me

    i dunno rugged temba, his arms wide

    I understand I'm a minority in this opinion. The only character I really liked was the girlfriend.

    It wasn't like god awful a book, just didn't really enjoy reading it.

    I was just wondering if it appears they're doing something a little better with the storytelling.

    Oh! A good example would be GoT. GoT the show is so much better told than the books it's obnoxious. Things just fit together better. For the most part.

    It is! Or at least, it strongly advocates SJW values. Also the people speak with our (millenial, internetty) speech patterns and even facial language/memes.
    It's so good and totally worth watching (but takes a while to build up; be sure to watch like 8-9 episodes before giving up!)

    steven universe is not SJW the show because it is entirely whimsical and doesn't preach a thing to you

    it just exists and happens to be rather progressive

    also it's like 1500 episodes a season and i just couldn't keep up but it was fun and cute

    It is very consistently inconsistent. Heh.

    But the books did explain stuff the movies just left as wide open inconsistencies.

    And like.....the magic isn't the point to the story! Its all window dressing to some pretty well crafted themes about the cost of generation spanning conflict, loneliness, and anger.
