  1. I caught the pilot as it is free on AMC's YouTube channel currently. It's certainly not the comic, that's for damn sure. The whole time Jesse made his big speech at the end, I was literally thinking how comic Jesse would call this guy an asshole and walk out. 

    That's not to say I didn't enjoy said pilot, the woman playing Tulip is fantastic, even though I'm not sure of the direction they're taking her. Cassidy's personality and violence were spot on, but his voice and look are gonna take some getting used to. Especially his Lucky Charms Leprechaun voice, much too high and smooth for a guy based on Shane MacGowan. And as Mike pointed out on Twitter, you can see his eyes... Fuck That.

    I think, overall, they nailed Jesse. There were some moments (him talking to the kid at the beginning, meeting with the kid's mother, the bar fight at the end), where I could see the character clearly. Other stuff, like he meets Arseface, seemed a little muddy. 

    All things considered, I liked, didn't love, this. I'll stick around for a while. 

  2. Seriously upset at the lack of muffins over here. I have since come home, eaten dinner and had three chocolate chip cookies, but I can't. Stop. Thinking. About. Those. Muffins.

    Thanks to Mike, I read that in Frank Costanza's voice. 

    ...It was wonderful. 

  3. In another piece of perfect casting, Peter goddamn Stormare is playing Czernabog. Via Gaiman's twitter. 

    Cloris Leachman is playing one of the Zorya, as well. Which puts me in mind of Fraü Blücher. She's a wonderful actress, but she's been playing an old lady for forty years! That's incredible.
