The season finale lands with the slight splash in the pool, but at least we have one big question answered about Shadow Moon before S3 comes around.

Episode 208 - Moon Shadow Shadow is tormented by recent events and Wednesday has disappeared. Those that remain witness the power of New Media as she is unleashed, and the nation is enveloped in a state of panic brought on by Mr. World.

Dylan and Nick are still reeling with the shock to the system with how different the show feels, especially in this episode and the way it’s written and paced. They’re still enjoying the show though and discuss Shadow’s big road trip this episode, New Media finally showing up and Wednesday and Laura’s trip to an old god.

Episode 203 - Muninn As he is tracked by Mr. World, Shadow makes his way to Cairo, thanks to a ride from Sam Black Crow. Mr. Wednesday slyly gains Laura's help in forging an alliance with a powerful god.

Episode two, ‘The Beguiling Man’ has Nick and Dylan somewhat confused with the now very obvious new hands behind the show, but the Shadow backstory we’re getting intrigues both of them. Before diving into the actual episode this week, the two also discuss American Gods getting renewed for a third season.

Episode 202 - The Beguiling Man Promising vengeance for the death of a beloved old god, Mr. Wednesday begins preparation for a great battle; Laura and Mad Sweeney chase Shadow's diminishing light after he disappears.
