Advancing the plot
For me, a story isn’t made great by only and always progressing the plot. Developing characters, giving perspective amd motivation helps create a richer story that people can further relate to or find meaning in. I loved episode 4 if only for giving context to Laura’s one line, forced and unconvinced she says “i love you, puppy.” Without that context you might think it was bad acting, but instead you see that she needs to believe more then anyone to bring purpose and understanding to both her life and death.
Coming to America
I love them all, they are beautiful and powerful. I just wish there was some continuity. Its not that I’m dumb and can’t figure out what they are doing, but from a visual storytelling approach I think they take away from the interconnections of this world of the spiritual.
The Crazy Tree
It’s a confusing aspect of the story so far, I definitely don’t understand it yet, but that’s ok. We’ve seen it in previous episodes and I have reason to beleive it will really come together later.
Mr. World’s Endgame
Mr. World is like a monotheistic God, with different manifestations still creating worship to the One. To create a new “Lemon Scented” Odin, is to envelope the power and worshipers of Odin into the One God, Mr. World. If Odin is forgotten, Mr. World potentially misses out on worshipers and power, but rebranding Odin into a new manifestaion of Mr. World creates more power for him. This also gives some insight as to why Media could overtake and use Technical Boy’s technology. She may not necessarily be more powerful, she just has access to his abilities as a shapeshifting manifestation of the One God.
Thanks, see you all on The Confessional.

I don’t believe Mr. World is a simple as a monotheistic god. I think his attributes, effects, and eventually what we will see of his adherents, he has more in common with modern globalization. (NoteB, NOT modernity, but modern). He represents modern mass marketing, the limiting and rigidity that comes with the networked human mind, which we had hoped would expand, but which actually promotes subservience to narrow group think. He is uniformity and the state.
Mr World brings me to another point about the optimism voiced by Roger when it comes to youth demographics and the political order. I’m not optimistic. Young people may support gay marriage (good) but I doubt my peers do so out of enlightened thought or conclusions based on the body of thinking and philosophy of the freedom of the individual, Quite the opposite, They do so out of group think. Studies by Pew and others show young people also support more limits on First, Fourth and fifth amendment rights. they are less not more concerned with data mining, generalizing algorithms, mass surveillance and ever increasing statism.
