Brennan saying ‘hundreds and hundreds of dollars, I mean that’s hyperbole but... you could be making a lot of money!’ is nice subtly roleplay In ‘Start Spreading the News’ Kingston says that about the mafia doctor, which kinda adds a sad element to that but, y’know. Like, Kingston remembers years later (either consciously or subconsciously). He still *thinks* about what success he could’ve had but decided the he’d rather be with the city.

[@lilyofluck371]

I noticed that. Brennan is so observant

[@Levacque]

Kingston didn't get the typically successful life, but he still thinks that others should be allowed to make the selfish decisions that he didn't. And that's almost too selfless to even comprehend.

[@thelastninjapanda3571]

I did not expect Kingston's backstory to hit me so hard in the feels.

[@Withlove_emily]

I know I’m late to the party but I’m shocked Sophia wasn’t more pissed at her brother. Like I’d be questioning how he could stand by and watch her slip into alcoholism, depression and become kind of a walking joke for Isabella since she straight up taunted Sophia for no reason with that dress.

[@mer1959]

Brennan is incredible, he says he's a gray baby and yeah, I believe him one hundred percent

[@steakknives]

He'd like you to not call him that.

[@GZilla311]

@@steakknives Yeah. Better to say he’s gray, baby.

Nod. He prefers Nod.

[@jessarisetty5448]

The scene at 1:00:00 where Nod is talking about being the monarch of the realm but doesn’t have any money is just goddamn hilarious. They’re a massively powerful being of dreams and magic, but they like... usually someone pays for them.

i can totally see how he sold his soul twice, first to the chaotic neutral realm and then to the lawful evil one. imagine the punishment that devil got after messing that deal, that must have been ugly af me and la gata are one, I want revenge for Sophia and what they did to her life so bad. Dale was a sweetheart :(

[@THExRISER]

That devil must've been Isabella, she's hell's representative in New York at the time. Plus she was isolated from hell by the Highway Hex so she probably had nothing to worry about.

[@raychances6251]

Off topic, but does that mean heaven is neutral good? Or to match hell should it be lawful good. Hmm...

[@IcewhipRoxx]

I just recently started binging this. I also wanted to rewatch it so my husband and I could watch it together. Before we started, I felt the need to talk about the premise and the characters, to sort of convince him (and to gush... mainly to gush). I was talking about Sofia, saying. "Her name is Sofia Bicicleta. It used to be Sofia Lee, but her husband left her because this bitch Isabelle Infierno... wait... Infierno... Infernal! She's a God damn succubus!" I had no fucking clue that Dale was dead, but I FUCKING CALLED IT that Isabelle was a succubus! My next call: She's marrying Robert Moses.

[@Pheatan]

I just started watching this one episode a night after work and had the infierno inferno moment click right before this episode while I was cleaning my car this afternoon. Same with Lazarus I remembered the poem at the bottom of the statue while at work and had to do everything to not watch that episode at work.
