The Sandman 1x06 "The Sound of Her Wings" Reaction

[@paulflux5892]

Did you notice that, in the present day, Hob Gadling is a history teacher? He's marking homework in the New Inn...

[@Notsosweetstevia]

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the fact.

[@popejaimie]

I didn't notice that, I assumed he was doing the books for the pub

[@ThePartisan13]

I saw that my first viewing, I thought that was a nice change of pace for him, lol.

[@MrDemimonde]

I want to be in his class !

[@crystalfire5564]

This was my favourite episode. I absolutely loved this personification of Death. She is so compassionate and kind. I do wish she could have at least passed on the phone code because that is something I would be worried about too. Hob is an interesting character. I think this is the first time I have seen someone gain immortality and not regret it. Usually it would have been him enjoying the first years and then becoming more and more disheartened as they lost friends and family. I’m glad that Dream met him in the end, a few years late, but apologizing for keeping his friend waiting.

[@gargoyle2423]

Same!

[@LordGrokken]

In my head cannon, Dream saw to it that she dreamed of Sam and he gave her the code in the dream.

[@oliviarogers2808]

I've recommended this series for this episode alone.

[@IndyMotoRider]

Agree. Best episode by a wide margin.

[@jays4170]

Well, that was kind of the point of that scene, that we have to learn that life goes on without us and, most of the time, our time comes when we are least expecting it. All the more reason to cherish every moment.

[@DoctorAvenue]

One of my favorite sneaky details is that when Dream talks with Shakespeare, their conversation is in iambic pentameter. Neil Gaiman is such a nerd. I love it.

[@saiyasha848]

Neil Gaimans Death is one of my favourite depictions of it. Just this calm, soft presence that greets you and gives you her hand. It makes death much less scary.

[@mbpoblet]

Second only to Pratchett's Discworld's Death, in my opinion, and probably only because ʜᴇ's the protagonist of some of the books and thus gets more character development.

[@saiyasha848]

@@mbpoblet I was thinking of mentioning that he would be Nr. 2 on my list. I kinda think they are not really comparable though. They are just so different and in their own way they are both amazing.

[@timidwolf]

Possibly expected considering how close the two authors were, I wouldn't be surprised if had discussed each other's versions for extra perspectives and/or inspiration.

[@FuzzyBunnyofInle]

The reason everyone recognize s Death is because she's also there when we're born. I love that detail.

[@peterang6912]

I hoop that when Death comes for me, he have the voice of late Sir Christopher Lee....

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

I just adore this episode. For me the first half is about accepting death - something we all struggle with - and the second half was about accepting life - something most of us don't even realise that we are struggling with it.

[@HuntingViolets]

Well said.

[@anamorphosys85]

This is the embodiment of Death everyone wishes for: not as the Dark Grim Reaper but a compassionate, friendly face who takes your hand and helps you to the Other Side. Kirby Howell Baptiste did a wonderful job of portraying Death with such sensitivity.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

I kind of love that Death is Dream's older sibling who looks out for him, "find your purpose!" "Here's a nice little boy playing in the sandpit, how about you play together for the next couple of hundred years. I'm sure you'll be friends in no time!"

[@0okamino]

Have you read Jill Thompson’s _The Little Endless Storybook?_ You just made me think of it. 😄

[@sonnydisposition]

What i love about this episode is that the side chatter in the pub doesn’t change at any point over any of the centuries Morpheus and Hob meet.

[@0okamino]

As the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

[@RevolutionaryGirlLexi]

One of my favourite things is how the Hob Gadling story ties in wonderfully with Death's characterisation. Just like how she came to Dream when he was sad to help him feel better, she could tell he was lonely all the way back when, and so gave him a constant friend.

[@BrokenNoah]

"I find myself wondering about humanity. Their attitude to my sister's gift is so strange. Why do they fear the sunless lands? It is as natural to die as it is to be born. But they fear her. Dread her. Feebly they attempt to placate her. They do not love her. Many thousands of years ago I heard a song in a dream, a mortal song that celebrated her gift. I still remember it... That forgotten poet understood her gifts. My sister has a function to perform, even as I do. The Endless have their responsibilities. I have responsibilities. I walk by her side and the darkness lifts from my soul. I walk with her, and I hear the gentle beating of mighty wings... "

[@TA3DArtist]

If you ever get the chance, there’s a comic about Death called “Death: The high cost of living”. It shows her taking human form and sharing in life to better understand us and really kind of explores some of her thoughts. While it doesn’t give a ton of backstory, it’s a good read. Also, this is a reaction channel, if your reaction is a personal one and you want to share that, share it! It’s your space. :)

[@Davemented]

"Death: The Time of Your Life" is pretty good too.

[@brianlindstrand934]

This AMAZING episode is based on two of the most memorable issues of the comic run. Especially the visualization of "her wings" was perfect.

[@TheNitpickChick]

7:10 Omg he does give Noel vibes in that hair, doesn’t he! 😂 11:47 Your jaw drop at Hob’s unwavering spirit was fantastic. 😁 15:57 Your entire reaction to them reuniting again was perfect! It’s exactly how I felt the first time I watched this episode! 🥹

[@salyx]

You said everything I was going to 😊

[@saiyasha848]

The reuniting Scene is interestingly an Addition to the series and one that was necessitated by the fact that they prolonged Morpheus Imprisonement to catapult him into the 2020s, instead of the 70s, where this was originally written and set. Thus, in the comics, he actually made the appointment. he Still showed up a bit late, which prompted the "I've heard it rude to keep friends waiting" line, but he _did_ show on the correct day. I do think it is cool to have it so that he actaully _couldn't_ go, if he wanted to or not.

[@0okamino]

*Late 80s, originally. In both versions, I really appreciate the question that it raises. If Morpheus hadn’t gone through the ordeal with being captured, would he still have been motivated to show up, and accept that he really did enjoy having a friendship with Hob?

[@robert_bbiii]

What I really love about this episode is that it really is two people talking. First Dream and Death and then Dream and Hob. You can't turn away though.

[@0okamino]

Moving through the lives and deaths of others, mere blinks in the grand scheme, but not necessarily insignificant.

[@Sub-Level28]

The Sandman's Death allowed me to no be scared of the time when I die. She's a comfort character for me. Well cast too!

[@0okamino]

Her wings are great and dark, with many eyes peering from within. That seems like it would be frightening to see, but then you realize they’re actually very beautiful. They aren’t there to take something from you, but to give you a kind embrace, and help you along.

[@Drudenfusz]

My favourite episode, and it still makes me cry every time.

[@ThomasCorp]

Ah, that was a most heartwarming moment, Jess: your reaction to Morpheus and Hob reuniting in the New Pub. And another week of such lovely post-episode thoughts and analysis.

[@phaudraig]

While watching you watch this episode, I was notified of the death of my brother. He'd been ill a long time and it wasn't unexpected, but I'm grateful I was re-watching this episode with someone. Its treatment of such a heavy topic is helpful and soothing at a time like this.

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

May he rest in peace.

[@heathwitch]

I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢

[@marcosmoura138]

I hope you better now

[@Vektorix28205]

The relationship between Dream and Hob Gadling is perhaps THE most... human... aspect of the entire Sandman story.

[@timidwolf]

Something sometimes done in comic books, especially at the time Sandman was published, was they'd have these shorter stories told in one issue to give a rest or even a break from the longer stories. These vignettes would tend to be more intimate tales giving an insight to various aspects of a character, though sometimes they could also be a more fun romp with a villain of the week type enemy. Loved that they had these stories, easily my favourite episode in the series.

[@lordhoot1]

I saw this episode perhaps a little too soon after my mum died, and it really knocked me for six. Kirby Howell-Baptiste is fantastic here - the way she played Death reminded me a great deal of the hospice nurses i'd recently interacted with.

[@InkyPetrel]

You apologise for finding things that resonate because it's "just" a story, but stories are important :) And this episode is a perfect example of WHY. To pull my favourite quote from the Sandman comics, "Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." I also love the contrast in personalities between Death and Dream in this episode, they're so perfectly acted. Even Dream says "I am far more terrible than you" and he's right. Death is something everyone shares, it connects us, draws us together. But dreams can be isolating. There are as many different experiences of dreams as there are people. Dreams can bring hope certainly, but also false hope. Dreams can make us relive our darkest moments, leaving us to carry the anxious echoes through our waking hours, or a dream can let us live our fantasies, only to snatch them away again. We can get lost, even while awake, dreaming of a hoped-for future, and fail to see a better path in the present. [/waffling] ...I may have given this too much thought, lol. And of course, in the context of the Sandman universe, we've already seen that Dream is far less forgiving than Death. Loved this reaction, a really thoughtful and relatable discussion, thank you for sharing :)

[@0okamino]

In fact, I think this is the perfect series for it. After all, Dream is the Prince of Stories. We all have our own stories, don’t we?

[@NialasDubh]

This episode is absolute dynamite. I was one of those who was sceptical about the casting of Death - you may be aware she was a very controversial choice because the original depiction of the character is iconic, and could hardly look more different to this actress! But my God, she could not have done it better. Such a human kindly performance. And the scene with dear old Harry reciting the Shema absolutely destroyed me (I'm not even Jewish) just like it hit you. A fantastic reaction, and a fascinating analysis afterwards.

[@enadegheeghaghe6369]

That's why I don't get mad over casting decisions. I prefer to wait and see what the actor delivers on screen.

[@lorihagens8329]

This truly was a tale of two stories in one episode. I knew you would love this one. His relationship with his sister was so on point for siblings. This episode gave us an amazing representation of Death and what happens next (whatever that may be).

[@Melancthon7332]

Jess, you sharing your thoughts on your own life is what sets you apart (among other things) from other reactors. Other reactors are touched, even deeply moved by this episode, but often don't reflect past their emotions and onto their actual lives like you do (or if they do, they don't share it with us). It takes someone present and self aware and seeking understanding. I also get wanting to be guarded with oneself on the internet and parasocial complications, but I'm grateful you can share that much of your self to this collection of strangers.

[@dswxyz2]

For what it's worth, the two halves of this episode were based on two different issues of the comic book. Although they weren't consecutive issues (issues 8 and 13), I felt the two stories did join up together very neatly for this episode.

[@stewart1555]

This was such a GOOD episode!! 24:05 "A life long quest... to find what truly makes us happy". The way this episode tackles the themes of purpose vs living life & adapting to whatever wave that comes along with time [truly beautiful].

[@sirjedisentinel]

Best episode of the season for me personally But I'm biased because "The Sound of her Wings" is also my favorite single issue of the comic

[@marcosmoura138]

The issue that made everybody fell in love with Death 👏

[@pantlessreactions]

Been waiting for this episode. Not "action packed", but the emotional pulls by both stories was just so beautiful & moving.

[@DoctorAvenue]

This might be my favorite episode of anything ever. Definitely in the top 5. As always, I love your reactions because they remind me how it felt watching these for the first time. When you cry it makes me cry and I need more of that in my life. Also never apologize for talking about yourself. People watch reaction channels to connect with people over shared interests. (at least I do!)

[@bobsteele9581]

Another great reaction Jess. My favourite episode of the entire series. Both stories just played out brilliantly. I particularly found the way that Death was portrayed very comforting. Inevitable, but not to be feared.

[@ameliacraiig4193]

"...serving fun comedic host on a baking show." I LOVE it... & get it! 😂

[@TenebrousFilms]

Two of the best stories in one episode, the best episode, and so much of it word for word. Most people miss Chaucer in the first pub scene, but pick up Shakespeare quick enough.

[@0okamino]

But they also miss the significance of the person sitting with Will. “Now _he’s_ a good playwright.” We’re left to wonder what might have been if Marlowe hadn’t met Dream’s older sister so early.

[@johnbarry1712]

Now you know why this is many people's favorite episode.

[@neils123]

Needless to say, we've all been waiting for this one with bated breath. One of the best episodes of television in the last couple years.

[@BolofromAvlis]

My favorite episode of the series, and one of my favorites from the comic book as well. Death is such a wonderful character. the fact that she embraces and loves humans and life is a great take on her role. And we also see some real character development and growth from Dream. So hyped for season two.

[@glygriffe]

I love it when you relate personally to an episode you're reacting to. It helps me see how I can relate more to it, or - probably most of the time - you put words to a feeling I have too, but I'm unable to articulate.

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

Now for another episode of comic to screen! So this one is unique. This episode is composed of two different issues of the comic. The first half of the episode concerning dream walking around with his sister death is the final issue of the first Volume of the Sandman known as "Preludes and Nocturnes." The second half of the episode is an issue of the comic called "Men of Good Fortune." its issue 13 of the second volume called "The Doll's House." With the end of this episode the show now begins "The Doll's House." Now this episode is the closest the show ever gets to a perfect 1:1 translation. Literally the only change they made was that in the comic the second person Death and Dream meet with before Death takes them is a stand up comic who gets electrocuted on stage in the middle of her act. In the show its the man who drowned on his honeymoon.

[@makon89]

I was waiting for you to get to this episode. Fantastic series.

[@xiongrey19]

Imo, Hobb Gadling is the Metaphor for what's so great about humanity that Death was trying to teach Dream. The very thing he was dismissive of: Life. When Hobb was on top of the world, he wanted to live to keep experiencing these joys. When Hobb hit rock bottom, he wanted to live as there was nowhere to go but up. Hobb wanted to live not because living had something Dream would consider higher in grandeur and purpose, he wanted to live just to live. The very act of it was self sustaining.

[@reverseBLT]

You've met my undisputed Bae of Baes, Death of the Endless! I have to say it's really cool that you clued in so early to the fact that the Endless are kinda the opposite, in terms of their personalities and outlooks, to their functions. Can't wait to see how you react to the rest of the season and to Dream's other siblings. And keep bringing your personal connections to the reactions. It adds a lot of depth.

[@LeChaunce]

It never dawned on me that Noel Feilding would've been a good casting choice for Dream until you pointed out the similarity, Jess. Well spotted!

[@billih8sclowns]

So glad I got to see you react to this episode as its one of my all time favourites (of any show), and just has some amazing writing and brilliant acting to tell both Death and Hob Gadlings stories. Totally thought provoking and such a beautiful way to deal with a subject that's normally quite dark and depressing. Can watch it over and over again, and never get bored of it.

[@karabelle221]

I was looking forward to this video all week, this is my favourite episode 🎉

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Death acts just like she does in the long-running DC comic...fun to see. It would be nice to have someone like that to take you on to the hereafter.. And happy to see you enjoying this series so much, pretty lady!! (It gets better as it goes, keep watching!)

[@0okamino]

It felt to me like they toned down her chipper demeanor a bit, in order to emphasize more of her kind, understanding big sister demeanor. I like that. Of course, she’s still perky enough that if you manage to change her mood to the point that she’s telling you off, you know it’s what you needed.

[@dalis777]

I remember reading these chapters back in highschool. Your reaction is helping me remember why I stopped fearing Death and do my best to be present and help others. Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts ❤

[@0okamino]

I think really being present for others, and helping them is truly a mark of generosity, because ours are _brief lives._

[@dalis777]

@@0okamino I agree. And kindness and presence for others can echo to people around us.

[@jpwphoenix1701]

The first half of this episode was so powerful and beautiful too, especially the bit with the baby.😭💔

[@alwillcox]

This is the one we've been waiting for! The finest episode of anything this century.

[@zavs350]

Hob Gadling is the first character I've encountered that truly encapsulated how I feel about "living forever." The thought just never scared me, personally. Used to be the odd one out whenever my friends and I would have discussions about it, so I'm so glad Hob's depiction sort of validates what I think about it. We've got so much to live for.

[@TheJerbol]

Easily one of my favourite TV episodes of all time. Even more amazing is that it's 2 different stories but they're both equally incredible. Hob might be a favourite fictional character too, his endless optimism is so infectious

[@plan_r4005]

Death of the Endless. The single most wonderful interpretation of death I’ve ever seen. Not a reaper, but a warm and chipper goth girl, who greets us all with a warm smile and a friendly face. Only sir Terry Pratchett’s version of Death comes close to Gaiman’s version.

[@venerac2759]

This is probably my favorite episode of television, bar none. I have so looked forward to your reaction! I'm really glad that you talked about your experience because part of what makes this episode so beautiful is that it is so human. It's about death, it's about friendship, it's about purpose. It is beautifully written and so well acted! The only thing I wanted more of were your thoughts on Desire and how it was their plan that captured Dream... I still can't wait for you to see the rest of the season (and the bonus episode), it's going to be so much fun!

[@SoonLeeNZ]

This episode is a great example of a brilliant choice when adapting from the original comics. The two stories in this episode came from two issues of the comics: issue #8 "The sound of her wings" which came immediately after Dream getting all his stuff back, but the Hob Gadling issue was not till issue #13. If they had showed it in the same sequence as the comics, we would not have met Hob Gadling until after the end of Season One. But having them in the same episode, one's about death, the other is about life, they complement each other so very very well.

[@brandonreeves6411]

I always comment the same thing on people's reactions to this episode. When Death first came into existence she absolutely hated her job. In the beginning she didn't feel anything it was only when she decided to do what mortal beings did, live as a mortal, that she started to understand and feel. So, every 100 years she becomes mortal and lives for a day and at the end of that day does she then reap herself.

[@Ductos]

This episode wrecked me on initial watching, especially how beautifully sad Death was depicted doing her everyday's work. It did give a big smile though when Dream admitted to being Hob Gadling's friend. Best episode of the season, for sure.

[@Cam-yu8wy]

Totally my favourite episode, really is quite beautiful and well put together. And it's a very significant step on our continued journey of understanding and introspection with Dream, I can only hope the show gets to run long enough for it to be done properly

[@LiamDuke]

Oh man this episode was so good

[@LiamDuke]

The Noel Fielding reference killed me, I need Death to fetch me

[@ShadowArtist]

"Dream" full name is Morpheus Lord of Dreams *AND Lord of Nightmares* that why he has a melancholy, gaunt, and gothic appearance and demeanor (and that he's been existing for millions of years), he's still internally "shaken" and upset about a human having imprisoned him for several years); and like many in real life, those persons that are Gothic or Goth-punk may look or seem "dark" or sometimes aloof and melancholy, they do have a heart and a cordial side... also something that didn't quite come through about Death, is "she" appears differently to each person that she goes to.

[@dansunder7minutebeerreview271]

iDeath is the most positive character in the series, along with Mr. Gadling. This issue is where I got hooked on the comic back in the day, and this adaptation was wonderful. I am so glad that you are giving this universe a try, it is amazing. Your insights are wonderful, and about fulfillment, as Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching, Just be...

[@Notsosweetstevia]

I always thought that dream looked like Noel fielding with that hairstyle. I’m glad I’m not alone. ❤

[@kalmarr120]

This episode made me bawl so I knew you had no chance! 😂

[@shamancarmichael5305]

For me, the best part of any entertainment, no matter the medium, is when it stirs an emotional or thought provoking response or connection. That is when the artist, or filmmaker, or creator has succeeded in their craft! And discussing that connection with others who have felt the same is even better! We have all now had a shared experience, thanks to your connection to this episode of Sandman, and that is an amazing thing. ☺

[@jamesvinton5678]

I do love the eternal representations, Death being one of my favorites, and you make a good point about the words Dream and Death vs their characters in this. But I also wanted to say you have no reason to apologize for talking about yourself. It is us, who should be thanking you for sharing these details with us. You're right in that personal goals and achievements, while having some value, often do not forefill you as much as when you can, share, or do, something for someone else.

[@paulcurlin2789]

This is a beautiful episode about death. I really am not sure what I believe about what happens after death but this representation is what I think is the most comforting.

[@vanessaaves3271]

[@amebecca4484]

Death is so phenomenal in this universe

[@JenABlue-ed1bw]

Best episode of the season, which isn't too surprising since it's based on two of my favorite issues of the comic. They did a really good job weaving them together--if I remember right meeting Death and the Hob story are like ten issues apart in the comic. I love that they kept the detail from the comic that the background conversations in the pub are the same 500 years ago and today--people complaining about taxes, claiming the world is ending/has gone to shit, even telling the same punchline (to a joke we never hear). Amazing discussion afterwards. I'm sorry you've been through it but glad that you're identifying what makes you feel happy and doing it. That's what life is FOR, everything else, all that "success" stuff, is just there to make that possible. (Of course, I'm biased, a couple years ago I quit my job and spent a bunch of money on a degree to switch to a new career that pays way less, and I'm so glad I did.)

[@0okamino]

_The Sound of Her Wings_ is issue 8, and _Men of Good Fortune_ is issue 13, so not quite _that_ far apart. However, enough has happened in _The Doll's House_ by the time you get to MoGF, it could understandably feel like 10 issues apart. Funny enough, 10 issues up from TSoHW is actually ADo1000C. ;)

[@elbruces]

Most of the Endless seem to have personalities that run counter to their aspect. If anything, it's a coping mechanism, so they don't end up overwhelmed by what their role is.

[@celticson]

I think Death is my favorite character in the comics as well as the show so far.

[@JoshMartin123]

Yay! You got to my favorite episode. Glad you liked Death and Hob. Also, loved how delved into Dream’s psyche and such (also want to give ya a hug for all the stuff you dealt with.) All in all, great reaction! I’m glad you’re watching and enjoying thhe show!

[@FeliciaWilliams1908]

I am a new subscriber and have so enjoyed your genuine reaction to this great show. I was crying throughout and I love that you tied it to personal experience. I was doing the same thing.

Love the reaction Jess, its so great to see a production that is so good. Death really was cast brilliantly, heck the whole cast is amazing. Also love that Hob is Ferdinand Kingsly, Ben's son, really quality actor, cant wait to see what else he does.

[@oliviarogers2808]

Id recommend this series just for this one episode. It was that good.

[@scott2836]

Jess - never apologize for relating how episodes impact you personally. The whole point of stories is how they impact us, and how we find both similarities and differences with others in our own reactions.

[@j9lorna]

You meant Noel Fielding didn't you? Or as Mark Lamaar calls him, a 40 year old crow. He is great on Never Mind The Buzzcocks too if you wanted to look him up.

[@joshdasmiter3]

By a wide margin my favorite episode and subplot regarding immortality… great reacting too please keep it going!

Hob Gadling’s story is possibly my favorite from the comics and it was beautifully portrayed here.

[@ShockArcl1te]

One of the best episodes of the show, if not the best. Wonderful reaction!

[@andrewnguyen4022]

Dream is so dramatic. Breaking up in the rain just because the guy he'd been seeing regularly for 500 years asked "What are we?"

[@TheNitpickChick]

Accurate 😆

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

I understand what you are ta;ling about. I suffered a stroke last month and am still working to recover. The "once I hit this level things will be betterer" feeling is one I can relate to. For me, its relearning how to speak without sounding like i have marbles in my mouth.

[@peteturner3928]

I read the graphic novels years ago and never thought live action would do it justice - this episode proved me VERY wrong!

[@EKeebler]

As we saw in both stories in this episode, Death has been struggling to get Dream to connect with humanity for centuries. She presented Hob as a wager, but I think she was sneakily setting up a play date for Dream every 100 years in hopes that Hob's good nature would crack Dream's shell.

[@lunatickgeo]

As a fan of the comic, I had some trepidations when this episode aired because it was so important to me that they get Death _right._ I am so pleased that they did. I also love the little romance subtext they gave Dream and Robert, you can ignore it if you like, but it's there for those who want that sort of thing. I love how he almost looks jealous when Dream talks to Shakespeare.

[@zavs350]

YES. Loved the little romantic subtext, too. I'm glad they made it as light as possible so it could be interpreted by people like us as romance, and by other people as pure friendship --- both of which are very powerful forms of relationships.

[@reki76]

I was waiting for your reaction to this episode! It hits hard.

[@kschneyer]

Whenever I hear Hob’s line, “Death is stupid,” I want to say, “Dude, have some manners: she’s right there.”

[@SubZeroJill]

So many beautiful things to say about this ep., but my favorite thing is that Death's boon wasn't about granting Hob immortality.. that's merely the precursor to what she actually did- gave her brother a friend ♥ (His big sis & __*spoiler*__ are the only ones who give a fudge about Dream imo, and I just love this arc for showing how well he responds to their positive influence/brotherly affection ^_^ --really hoping we'd see more of the Endless sibs in s2!)

[@0okamino]

“How’s your friend?” “He’s just this guy I know.” “Oh, come on. How’s your friend?” “I told you, he’s just… wait, I see what you’ve been doing. Yeah, okay, I really should go see my friend.”

[@OsefKincaid]

This episode is absurdly good. I love how they manage to show, not tell, that Death is mistaken about humanity.
