Oh god, that sounds SO good! I never did like the books that much; I thought the idea was much better than the execution.
Getting to new places with these characters makes me ten times more excited than I already was!

I'm excited for the new interpretation as well.

Why are you using "book
s
" in the plural sense?
There was just the one book..

they're compressing what should be at minimum a 6-hour miniseries into a single, 45 minute pilot ep?? Huh? And you guys think that's cool?

Not sure what you mean. The first season will cover about the first third of the book - not sure how many episodes there are but definitely more than 6.

"The pilot is almost the entirety of the book, and then they use the book as the leaping off point for the rest of the season, which is cool".
From here: http://collider.com/jonathan-tucker-american-gods-interview/
Season 1 is 10-12 episodes.

Hey, Neil's given it his blessing, so I'm not worried.

Well I'm thoroughly confused then! I read an interview with Ricky Whittle and he said that the first season ends at The House on The Rock.

My interpretation is that the book's plot is used as a jumping off point, with the show greatly expanding on what's on the page. But yeah, the first season does end at the House on the Rock.

Neil Gaiman says the first season covers
the first third
of the book.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

Frankly, I'm more inclined to believe Neil.
