Always neat to see exactly when people realize that Gilbert is Fiddler's Green. And we haven't even yet gotten to the moment that cemented him as my favorite character of the series, but in the meantime we have the beautiful sequence of his trolling the hall and slowly realizing the truth about the Cereal Convention, with Stephen Fry not saying a single line and conveying the entire thought process perfectly just with facial expressions, something he has down to an exact science after decades of his legendary career. And during the same scene it's nice to see Gaiman ditch a couple of the "collectors" who have seriously not aged well even with as forward-thinking as the comic typically was, like an Asian woman called Dog Soup. On the other hand, Nimrod being a hack edgelord comedian is like fine wine and it's nice to see that kept in. Though this episode also has the one part of the whole show that I think seriously did not translate well, when Jed first arrives at the hotel and everyone just happens to keep using death-related words in casual conversation. Fine in a comic where you're just seeing word balloons, but in live action it just becomes too noticeable that they suddenly become audible and silent on cue for the relevant phrases. And I was a bit disappointed that we don't get the Corinthian's final line after introducing all three's killing methods, "And now we're going to take turns," though at least the implication is still there from the way he says it. Oh, and Phillip being a blogger is a fantastic way to update the original tabloid reporter, especially in how it makes him look even stupider thinking he wouldn't be found out, which is 100% believable for those people.

“What an episode, again.” indeed. This episode ended, I was thinking, “Right. I’m going to need to watch something more cheerful to lift my spirits, like Fritz Lang’s M or A Streetcar Named Desire. Or maybe just rewatch the diner episode of this show, that should brighten things up.” The “cereal” convention was horrifying as fuck. Particularly as it would not surprise me if such a thing did exist. One thought in my head watching it was, “This whole convention gathering is even more fucked up than Witch gathering in Roald Dahl’s The Witches.” As I noted on youtube, there is amusement derived from how spot-on the convention set-up is. I’m concerned some for Netflix as if I have dates right, this dropped around the same time as that Dahmer miniseries, which I haven’t seen. Netflix does seem to relish their serial killer content is all I’m saying. I shared your discomfort of Funland, especially when he discussed his ideal method of “collecting”. Once I heard that, after I fought the strong urge to toss my cookies and/or soak in a tub full of bleach to stop my skin crawling, I took a hearty pull from the beer I was nursing. You and me both on being protective of Jed where Funland was concerned. The anxiety shot up when Rose and Jed were running from Funland down the interminable hallway, leading me to shout. “How the hell did this hotel hallway suddenly turn Kubrickian!?” Still would not say I’m rooting for the Corinthian, though he did kill Funland and even he seemed slightly put off by these collectors, I’ll give him points for that. As I see Ryan noted, a highlight was Stephen Fry showcasing his brilliance at non-verbally reacting to the panels. When Gilbert is revealed as a dream, a voice in my head chimed in with, “Ah, that is why he didn’t appear in the dream montage last episode.” to which I said aloud in response, “I was wondering.” You mention it’s been a highlight of how the various dreams and nightmares are seeking out fulfillment, and I agree, that has been fascinating. Concerning Lyta, that was horrific when Morpheus showed up and callously ended it all with ZERO tact, to which, I deadpanned, “You’re a dick. You know that?” I too am curious on the logistics of the dream pregnancy, the sheer mechanics of it are mind-boggling. Certainly, it is dreadful hearing Morpheus claim that the kid will be his whilst the child is still in the womb; I doubt even the Jedi Order was ever quite THAT overzealous when it came to recruiting kids. Onto Lucienne, yes, it was great when she was passive-aggressively sticking it to Morpheus. It was GREAT when Mervyn practically outright said she gets shit done. Sidenote about Merv, when I saw Justice League was on the hotel tv, I half wanted Morpheus to show up, see that, do a double-take, and say, “Why does that garish looking clown sound eerily like Mervyn?” You say perhaps it is annoying hearing you go on about Lucienne. No, it isn’t, I stand behind you on your love for Lucienne, Jess. I’m still mad at the fact that although Morpheus has admitted fault, he STILL has not given her a MASSIVE groveling apology, which she is more than owed. Another fantastic reaction, Jess. As to your comments about episode eleven, I’ve not seen the next episode nor the one after that. I too had heard something about episode eleven airing after the initial ten premiered on Netflix. And similar to what you said, in deciphering the logistics, discovered it’s largely standalone. Ish? I think? Maybe? I didn’t investigate it too much, though I did discover the last episode does contain an actor that I know appears, whom I’ve been waiting for and wondering when he was going to pop up. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Like I said, fantastic reaction, Jess, thank you.

Well, I look forward to when we get to your favorite Gilbert moment. Stephen Fry is great. So, in the comic, there was an Asian woman called Dog Soup. ...Yeah, I’m not losing sleep over that one getting left out in this adaptation. Though that did not occur whilst watching about the death related terms being used in casual conversation, largely from being distracted by how disturbed I was by what I was seeing, I read that you say it stands out, leading me to concede, “Point taken.” I did catch a tidbit about how in the comic, the poser’s writings being some type of publication rather than something online like it is here, which yes, is a nice update. Certainly, as you say, immensely believable how stupid it makes him look thinking he wouldn’t get caught.

Several volumes of the comic, starting with 3, are collections of standalone short stories rather than an overarching plotline like the first two, and these bonus episodes like 11, which features two of Volume 3's stories, are how the show is handling them. None of them are really that necessary to the larger arcs, but it's still nice to get them. There's also actually quite a few actors in both that fit the way you're talking.
