    As a side note, Shadow moon has a part in this episode when he sees the embers or small lights manifest around him in a vision after his encounter at dinner, I think there's some significance. Btw this has happened atleast 2 times b4. In previous seasons the lights seem 2 come as flashpoints into the past of important/ significant moments. 1st time happened during an episode when a slave was beheaded/ burned & lynched, he seemed to embody & experience the trials of the dead man & as well the lights came again another time outside funeral home, it lead him to his next destination. It would seem that Shadow's powers are growing, maturing & manifesting as he grows stronger in his role as a young deity.

    I think the fact that they made Demeter's child a girl rather than a boy may refer to Persephone, the daughter actual demeter. When Persephone was abducted by hades to the under-world, Demeter turned cold and distant to the world. This was something she said about losing a child to shadow. I may be wrong, yet I just wanted to bring my opinion on the table.

    I would agree w you if it weren’t for the fact that when they fell in love , it was during the end of the civil war when she was just summoned to America. All the stories we know about her in Ancient Greek mythology had already happened way before arriving to America. I think maybe the baby was born a girl because it make sense that a fertility goddess would bare a female child of fertility n we know the gods bared many children over the centuries

    The child's sex is irrelevant. The rest of the story is what was. It was probably known to Wednesday beforehand that they would never be able to have children. I imagine there are some rules to their existence. One of them being their lives are loosely and tightly bound with their images. It could of just been a power play from Woten knowing it wouldn't work. But just a means for him to stick around a little longer as he knew how much she missed her own Daughter.

    The phrase "I don't do drugs; I am drugs" is a quote by Salvador Dalí. Shadow calling Laura his late wife and Laura correcting him is a reference to a point in the book where Shadow thinks of Laura as his ex-wife and has to correct himself and think "late wife", because she's undead at that point. Demeter mourning the loss of a daughter could be a reference to her daughter Persephone, who was also taken from her to the underworld, and whose father was also a sky god (Zeus). Zeus was mainly known as the god of thunder, and it's interesting how Wednesday includes fake thunder in his shadow play (and you hear thunder when Demeter ascends at the end of the episode). That's all I caught. Awesome video as always, bro.

Maybe this is why Bilquis’ (s/p) story line this season was important because she became something else and was reminded of who she was/is.

    I think that the waking of tech boy’s emotions to remind him who he really is kind of aligns with another god being reminded who she is too. Kind of like both are in a prison of the mind that suppressed their true self. Wednesday had Demeter until he mentioned his plan again at the door. All he had to do was shut up.

    I loved this video. My take on the ending scene with Demeter is that she didn’t leave with Wednesday because she was mad but more so went back to nature so she could be Herself as the Goddess and also have the time to herself to grieve their Lost Child. Remember in the last Episode she told Wednesday that, “Do you know that I never even had the chance to really MOURN our baby?”. Everyone else is focused on War and Money, etc...but Demeter is still stuck in the hurt and Pain of both Wednesday deserting her and the Lost child. It’s just my perception of it all being a Woman and knowing the powerful connection to birthing Children. When Demeter stepped outside the clouds immediately opened up, the Sun started to Shine flowers were blooming. Then she looked back at Wednesday and began to dissolve as the weather turned back grey, gloomy and became to heavily Rain. Those were her Tears. She is now Free to Mourn and be herself as the Goddess she is.

    I think it keeps pointing up something that plays the European patriarchal mythos embodied in Odin off against the mostly matriarchal Orishas minus Anansi. Odin, as a being of deceit and war, is a resource sink; even when married to Demeter Herself, all he can give her is a child that is stillborn or dies in infancy sometime around the Winter Solstice. In contrast, Shadow is blessed by goddesses and women alike without even trying, so he has luck in things that otherwise might have gone painfully wrong. I also have a suspicion, with no outside lore to back it, that the reason Shadow survived to grow up is that his mother knowingly sacrificed her life force for him, where Demeter did not for their daughter.

There’s even a story where she falls in love with a mortal man & has a child. She is also key to the psychedelic Eleusinian Mysteries that are about much more than just her daughter’s abduction by Hades.

But I don;t want it to make any ideas on it's own. I want these to come au naturel. Still awaiting the new Sweeny? Or at least his next version portrayed by Ramsay Bolton. Mr Trejo/World, It's going to help Laura revive him or believe in him or something. A Sacrifice? As he will have access to the 'Horde' to get Gungnir back. And yeah, World on the phone was with whom I'm sure was ol Woten himself. And I've thought it's been Sandy's son in the chimney for a while now. I haven't lived in a house with a chimney since I was under 5, but I think it's safe to say of it;s used often, ppl would clean it often. Even more so if it's blocked. Last note, I honestly thought that Demeter was going to go through that doorway to get her Daughter with Wedenesday's help. Just a small guess. Was wrong. Edit:/ I thought the car was the sacrifice. Like there was a body in it each year. Almost a perfect crime. Unless a cop checked the trunk lol.

    @storydive okay I think Shadow will be revealed as the God of Light because: Sam’s presence lightens his mood and twice the light bugs showed up to “guide him” before he has a mental shift. To me they represent light and Shadow has a “light” presence. I think Tech Boy will find that rock or he will be the artifact that the machine needs. If he dies it will be the first new age God that goes but I don’t see him dying. I feel like Tech Boy could end up siding with the Old Gods because the machine described his symbols as emotions lmao and he always tries to give Biliqust (s/p) room or not move against her, but she must have given him emotion when she put him in that war trance. There has to be a point to her straddling the fence and maybe now she will be Odin’s queen for the war. They showed the leprechaun in the preview so Laura will get the spear from the hoard. I think World will lead her to the leprechaun. I think World was speaking to Wednesday on the phone. I hope they speed it up and that there are more than 2 episodes left. To me Biliquist (s/p) and Demeter’s storylines were stretched because they haven’t exposed the point of their storylines this season...And they showed the name of a God (I’ll have to look at the scene again) on the band’s poster and it wasn’t Marilyn M. I think they edited his scenes out because of the accusations against him. That’s all I have for now...🤷🏽‍♀️

There was a show administration change ( rather controversial one at that, and caused some actors to quite), after S1 ended... they further exacerbated the problem firing Orlando Jones, who was also a contributing writer for the show. As much as I don't want to admit it, the show is a hot mess right now.

Because, Odin feeds on war and sacrifice, and Loki feeds on conflict and chaos.

    Technical Boy seems to get the short end of the stick after the first season. I remember the interviews that they talked about put him in avant-garde clothes, cutting edge tech fabric and fashions. Not to mention all the hairstyles. After that, it's like the new showrunners and writers were barely know what to do with him. I think part of the reason why I felt this season were somewhat lackluster is because of the dialogues. I don't know if they have the same writers room. But the dialogues are now less sharp, punchy, or insightful (Wednesday still have good lines). Now they are more perfunctory and milquetoast. I wished that Wednesday had been outside instead of just sitting by the window and barely utter her name. It was a choice for sure. It would have been more dramatic and perhaps a bit cliche if he was... say... at the main entrance and see her slowly flowing away. And started to run to her and yell out her name.
