American
Gods “A Prayer For Mad Sweeney”
Wow.
After six incredible episodes American Gods finally put out an
episode that was not just uninteresting, but bad. “A Prayer For Mad
Sweeney” was one of the most uninteresting hours of television I've
seen in a while which sucks because it seemed to begin as if it were
going to be pretty awesome by showing the work of Ibis an Jacquel.
But no. It starts off with them working in the morgue and then
switches to this long boring ass story about some woman in Ireland
named Essie McGowan in the past that is played by Emily Browning.
So are
they the same person just in another life? No. Its plot device. This
chick believes in leprechauns and worships them and all that but is
caught stealing and sent to live on a prison boat. She ends up
banging the captain and freed until she is caught stealing again and
then sent to prison. Then she bangs the guard for freedom and ends up
living a long boring life where no one believes in leprechauns. So
not interested in any of this.
In
this there are present scenes with Laura and Mad Sweeney (who was
also the leprechaun from the past) abandon Salim and steal an ice
cream truck because Laura is rotting away. Bunny crosses the road
and the truck flips over. Sweeney wakens but Laura is dead again and
the coin flew out of her and her chest is exposed showing just meat
and bone. As someone who has moved corpses at a previous job god
forbid they rotted that fast. Sweeney finally has his coin back and
there is a flashback showing he caused Laura to crash the night she
was sucking off the neighbor and dying in the past. He sticks the
coin back in her, she comes to life, punches him, and flips the truck
back over and they drive off. What a bullshit episode and ending. One
more to go and I really hope it is good.
