By the way, was Sam two-spirit in the novel? I don't recall that, but the whole setup was very different--I think she was hitch hiking and Shadow picked her up.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53347469976196859982019-03-29T16:04:25.326-04:002019-03-29T16:04:25.326-04:00That's cool, I love little linguistic things l...That's cool, I love little linguistic things like that. <br /><br />Laura continues to pop in once in a while throughout the book, but for the purpose of the plot she's basically done by this point. <br /><br />Sweeney I won't say any more about, since I don't know how much of what happens to him in the book will happen on the show beyond the fact that in the book it's happened by this point. <br /><br />Whatever their plans, expanding both Laura and Sweeney's roles was a really good idea, since the two of them together are the best part of the show presently. :)Mikey Heinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053287699381988084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71838666909521385902019-03-29T13:54:39.464-04:002019-03-29T13:54:39.464-04:00OK, I see why I've always assumed that Muninn ...OK, I see why I've always assumed that Muninn was a crow. It's because, well, in Spanish crow means cuervo. And raven means... cuervo. So it's cuervo for me, and going back to English I've always translated it as crow.<br /><br />I'm Spanish, obviously XD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33796308414112028062019-03-29T13:50:54.160-04:002019-03-29T13:50:54.160-04:00TIL. Always assumed they were two crows.
Haven...TIL. Always assumed they were two crows.<br /><br />Haven't read the book, and since I barely have time and I do have a huge queue in front (beginning with The Expanse), I guess I'll have to wait until the series ends to compare it with the book ;)<br /><br />Funny to read that in the book both Sweeney and Laura are gone by this point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8062750169703447862019-03-29T09:21:43.307-04:002019-03-29T09:21:43.307-04:00Ooo, interesting. I like that thought. I admit, ...Ooo, interesting. I like that thought. I admit, it never even crossed my mind, since that's not the case in the book - although that absolutely doesn't mean that it isn't where the TV show is going with it.<br /><br />I assumed that the episode was called Muninn since it means memory, and they were going through Argus' memories. Although I didn't actually get around to mentioning that in the review.<br /><br />Technically, Muninn is a Raven, not a crow. But that's a pretty pedantic reason to discount your theory.Mikey Heinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053287699381988084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-75860097043573128672019-03-29T07:12:22.667-04:002019-03-29T07:12:22.667-04:00No mention of Sam possibly being Muninn?.
