Editor’s Note: this post contains spoilers for episode five of American Gods. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Ugh. It is impossible to account for all the ways in which we love Gillian Anderson and American Gods. The Bryan Fuller/Michael Green take on Neil Gaiman’s novel has presented the New God, Media, as the most exciting sort of chameleon — one that takes on the visage of the world’s most iconic celebrities in order to force her point. In previous episodes we saw her Media appear to Shadow as Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy (and ask him if he wanted to see Lucy’s tits), but this week, she’s appearing as intergalactic spaceman, David Bowie, to put that li’l miscreant Technical Boy (Bruce Langley) in his place.Check out the groovy clip below:
