    Nice to have it back. Not a fan of the new Ms. World. The actor doesn't seem terribly good.

    Glad to have the Lakeside storyline included in the series, as it was one of my favorite parts in the book. Wonder if the whole season will deal with Lakeside? I hope so.

    No more Laura? Mad Sweeney coming back?

    I guess Crispin Glover wasn't available, so the Doctor Who'ed the character the same way they did Media in season 2 when Gillian Anderson didn't come back.

    Laura will be back at some point. She's shown in the previews with Ramsay Bolton and she was a character all the way through the book.

    Mad Sweeney and Laura are the best part of the show, not so much in the book.

    Yeah, I would struggle to even call Laura a character in the book (where she's really just a plot device). The TV Laura is most definitely an improvement.

    Man, this show is really starting to come back together (after kinda falling apart).

    Interesting that Crispin Glover is back...too bad the bridges seem to have been burned with Orlando Jones. He would have been very useful this week.

    Just need Sweeney back and the gangs all here.

    I don't miss Orlando Jones, seemed too over the top for Mr. Nancy. I like the portrayal of Mr. Ibis.

    Danny Trejo is a better actor than I thought.

    Wonder if Delirium of the Endless will make an appearance in this show.

    Not trippy enough.

    This season was all over the place. What was the point of the Demeter story? Or the changing faces of Mr. World.
    Yeah, we got 10 episodes this time around, but a lot of it seemed to be filler.

    I thought it was a substantial improvement over 2. Still not quite up to 1's level, but pretty good.

    Demeter showed Wednesday trying to find another way. And failing. So he went with Plan B, which was to sacrifice his son so that he might live. (Well, knowing Wednesday I suspect that was Plan A, and Demeter was an improvised Plan B.)
