Every show has its “transition episode”. The episode that lays the foundation of what’s to come in the final episodes. This is how I view episode seven of American Gods season three. We have three more episodes after this one, which seem like they’re going to be intense. So we have episode seven giving the rest of the season the tools to move forward.
Minor Spoilers
Admittedly, episode seven wasn’t necessarily my favorite in this season. BUT, I do recognize what it’s setting up. And we had some great scenes as well in this episode. My favorite parts of this episode happen in Lakeside and between Laura, Salim, and Mr. World. While we have the conclusion of the panty thief in episode seven (which, I will admit, seemed a little “thrown in there”), it’s clear that something else is brewing in Lakeside. And I don’t just mean what’s going on between Shadow and Marguerite. This season is definitely the season we see Shadow really embracing his God roots.
Don’t Mess With Salim
I never thought I would see Laura Moon and Mr. World interact with each other. It’s amazing seeing the fiery Laura come face to face with the ultimate salesman. Salim, however; really shined in this moment. Not only did his friendship with Laura shine through, but Salim presented himself as a more forward and confident person than we have seen before. Taking charge in a way that we wouldn’t think Salim would, this scene definitely goes down as one of my favorites in episode three.
We have a lot that goes on with Wednesday and his fellow Norse gods. But, what is truly big in this episode is the way Cordelia reacts to…you know what? I won’t spoil it for you. Just watch it for yourself. Needless to say, it was a big surprise how fast Cordelia bounced back, but this just adds another interesting layer to this character.
Rating: 4/5
Episode eight looks to be the real action-packed episode, so I can’t wait for that. Episode seven was certainly necessary and left me with a lot of questions – especially in regards to Bilquis. All of the players are preparing for something big to happen. And I can’t wait for that payoff.
