When I watched this episode, I thought about Nikki, & how she'd... dislike the baby part, but by the ending, I thought the episode was so beautifully written that I figured Nikki would appreciate the story, more than a short sad, yet beautiful, scene. I think I was right. Either way, this was an incredible episode! 🤘😁

@mojoriot2293 Год назад

As for the style of the show, I believe they're doing every episode as one comic... (You guys do know this is based on a comic book, right?!) I own, & have read, several of the comics, & they're alot like an anthology, so thinking it's like the 'Twilight Zone,' is pretty on point! Though, just like the show, there is a small thread of a bigger story, but it's very much of 'slow burn.' I don't think this show has a season 2, yet, but hopefully enogh people will tweet at Netflix, until they get another season! Lol. 🤘😁

@mojoriot2293 Год назад

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention something ... I mentioned that the episodes are based on the comics, (graphic novels,) but it's the imagination, & writing of NEIL GAIMAN that brings these stories, & the amazing characters to life! AND... If you're interested, there's an independent film, released in 2017, called... "Sandman: 24 Hour Diner." (* I copied the title from imdb, but I didn't expect the font! Lol...) Anyway, the movie has some great reviews, & though it was a 'fan film,' & Neil Gaiman wasn't involved, it seems to be a really good flick! Even Gaiman watched it, & thought it great. The reason I mention this film, is because the story in the movie is right out of a graphic novel, & it's also the same story from the show...& it's episode 5! A couple things are different, like the person with the 'ruby' is a Doctor from Arkham Asylum!! 🤯 (That threw me for a second, lol.) I haven't seen the film myself, but I accidentally clicked on a link, & I got a RU-vid video with the whole movie! The article I read did say that the movie's makers had a premier in Toronto, then they released the movie online for free! So, I think I've typed enough nonsense for tonight. I hope these comments were slighly helpful. Maybe you guys could watch the film on your 'movie night' sometime. Or maybe just put it on in the background, just to check it out...I'm gonna check it out later...If you like, I could let you know how you'd feel about it, as I've been watching things with you two for years now, & I'm pretty sure I know your taste for stories, lol... (Sorry, that sounded a bit stalkery.) But if I gave you a review for this movie, I promise it won't be as long as this comment!! Ok, I'm out...catch ya next vid! 🤘😁🤪🪓 Looking forward to the next episode of TLK, shit's gonna get crazy this season!!!

it WOULD be a trip to be able to say "i haven't heard that for 200 years." BUT, it would be an EVEN BIGGER TRIP to BE ABLE TO REMEMBER something from that long ago, since most people struggle to remember 30 or 40 years back. Imagine, you hear a song.....maybe even like the song.....like the pop 80's or pop 90's one hit wonders.......how many can you name? And for Dream to be able to simply say, "i haven't heard that for 200 years." REMEMBERING it immediately, AND how long ago it was that he last heard it.......THAT would be cool

Really, the only way I think it could've been better is if Christina Ricci had portrayed Death.

Still, that's just a personal thing. Howell-Baptiste did an excellent job.

There is something so magical, when you see a character and think, 'my god, it IS desire from the book'. Absolutely nailed it. The other side of the coin is Death.

Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death absolutely did a fantastic job! We have seen death portrayed in media as either a comedic act, or a serious one that will just obliterate you if you so much as look at Death the wrong way. This show attempts at something that in my opinion has never ever been done before on the many portrayals of of Death and that is: Portraying Death in a kind and guiding light to the souls who passed on. And they absolutely did a great job with this idea without making cartoony or campy.

@0okamino Год назад

Sort of makes sense how Death could be misinterpreted as the skeletal figure when described by a very bewildered person who met her, but lived. “So, what’s death like?” “Um, seems to smile a lot.” “Oh, like a skull.” “Sure, whatever. I’m just happy to be alive.”

@chriskelly3481 Год назад

It's actually been done in different benign ways many times over the years. Some intimidating but non malicious versions (comedically as you have said) are DEATH from Terry Pratchetts Discworld series (and the companion deaths like The Death of Rats). Or the version of The Seventh Seal, game-playing death in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. But there is the chilled, friendly John Denver-type ANGEL of death in Touched by an Angel. There are others too. But I love this one here. She's great.

Desire is canonicly more or less genderless or what we call today non-binary. Dream in the Comics often refers to them as their Sister-Brother. Depending on who looks at Desire they appear more masculin or feminin( A heterosexual guy for example will perceive Desire often as a beautiful woman). So they clearly made the perfect casting choice having an identifiying non-binary actor/ess playing Desire and then Steven perceiving them as "she" :D

@ShadowyFox_86 Год назад

I wouldn't even say genderless. They're all the genders and can appear as any of them.

I read the comics about 30 years ago and as much as I loved the first 5 episodes my ultimate judgment of the adaptation was always going to depend on how they managed The Sound of Her Wings. And it was perfect. So sad and beautiful. I cried through most of it, honestly. And then they surprised me by putting the Hob Gadling story in the same episode and I cried again because I was so thrilled. And it was perfect too.

@Taliesyn42 Год назад

The Sound of Her Wings (the first part of the episode) and Men of Good Fortune (the Hob Gadling part) are two of the most popular issues from the original comic run, and they're probably my two favorite issues of the entire series. In the Hob story, you get to see that pre-imprisonment Dream was colder, more aloof, and actually much more amoral than post-imprisonment, although he was obviously never a fan of slavery. Everything is so consistent because they've been VERY careful in retelling the storylines from the comics run. Episodes 1-5 were Preludes and Nocturnes, and which was probably the weakest part of the comic. (Which makes sense, since it was the very first seven issues.) Episodes 7-10 are from the next story, The Doll's House. By episode 11, we'll also have covered most of Dream Country. If there's a Season 2, I expect we'll get at least one of the remaining Dream Country episodes (it was just 4 unconnected short stories, but one we haven't seen yet is VITAL for the overall story arch), plus a rather introspective, storybuilding story line (Season of Mists), and a very...odd...one (A Game of You).

@Kyoril Год назад

In the beginning, Death carried the persona we're all familiar with. Cloaked, hooded skeletal wielding a scythe. Scary. And Death grew depressed by her function, and considered quitting. Until coming across a little girl who pondered to death the problem was death did not understand what dying felt like. Now, once a century, for one day, Death gives herself a mortal life. And that's when death took on the peppy goth chick persona we all know and love. The Endless are seriously fascinating when you hit up Google and start to explore them all. Dying for Season 2.

@mikemeggison5084 Год назад

In the comic, the baby talked. He just said "that's all I get?" and Death says "I'm afraid so". A comic has no sound, so you create it in your mind, but how do you put it on screen, and not have it be silly, like Stewie in Family Guy, y'know? I like how they handled it here, that Death can just telepathically understand baby talk.

This is honestly one of the best episodes of tv of all time. The whole episode could’ve been just about Dream traveling and talking with Death while she is guiding souls to the afterlife. I mean first the scene with her guiding the old man, letting him say the Shema prayer made me tear up right away, and I’m not even Jewish. But then they show us the story of Hob Gadling and I could NOT take my eyes off the screen for a second. Also in the comic she is white and pale, but I love that they cast a black woman and that it was Kirby Howell-Babtiste, her version of death is so warm and kind and caring. I’ve been on the side that thinks immortality for mortals is a curse, that over time your moral compass would break, you would look at other mortals as just insects, and your own sense of humanity (your soul, spirit, chi, ka, whatever you want to call it) would crumble away into dust. But Hob Gadling is a truly exceptional man for living as long as he had and not become either a power hungry psychopath or just an outright piece of crap. Yes he veered off the path and was involved briefly in the slave trade, but Morpheus managed to show him the error of his ways. Hob is the embodiment of looking at the bright side! And Hob had an effect on Morpheus because after spending so much time with Hob he actually did come to care for him. And in the end Dream finally admitted that he and Hob were friends. Also apparently Neil Gaiman said that in the end of the episode Hob is actually grading papers because he is now a history teacher. Which is both perfect and hilarious when you think about it.

Death is the one true reaper to whom all death gods must bow. Like Dream, she has her own realm, although it's never given an explicit name. It is, however, sometimes referred to in passing as "the Light at the End of the Tunnel." Since people are dying constantly everywhere, she is nearly omnipresent on Earth at all times. Death's powers allow her to see spirits on Earth, and in fact, she can leave certain souls in the plane to wander as ghosts. She loves her job and does it very well and is perhaps the most well-adjusted of the Endless family.

@greygorthegoateedgeek5350 Год назад

The Sound of her Wings was the point in the comic series where many thought Neil had hit his stride and found his voice with the comic book. It ends the collected volume Preludes & Nocturnes and you'd be amazed how much of this show just lifts dialogue straight from the comic because it just works. The nice thing I noticed in this is the scene with the baby, in the comic the baby asks "is this all I get" and they thankfully dropped the baby talking and you just heard Death's replies. For TV IU think that worked better.

@ShadowyFox_86 Год назад

The scene with the baby is so well done here. It tells so much about Death and also about how the Endless communicate with humanity.

Hob and Dream’s friendship through history is one of my favourite things in the Sandman universe. It reminds me so much of Crowley and Aziraphale’s adventures through time in Good Omens.

@noelquinones8836 Год назад

I knew Nikki would get emotional in this episode. This was the BEST EPISODE in the series.

@ald00I Год назад

this is my favorite episode actually. it shows death as gentle and sweet in the first part and then celebrates the beauty of life in the second. it kind of goes like "look, its not so bad to die, youll be okay; but dont forget all the things you have to live for either. so live, and have fun while you have time; and when time runs out know that you dont have to be scared."

@bluegypsy71 Год назад

😊Interesting fact, Dream’s friend, Hob, is prolific actor Ben Kingsley’s son.

REALLY 🤯🤯, Thank You for sharing! I was trying to figure out where I'd seen him before, thanks to you I can stop racking my brain. He LOOKS like somebody I've seen before 😊😊

@impossible7163 Год назад

The first part of the episode with Death is some of the best TV I've ever seen. Sad, funny, angering, hopeful... All of it fantasy yet so real.

Every time Death takes someone you hear her wings

@vinnyp1259 Год назад

My favorite ep.! The whole death concept on this episode was so heartbreaking but also touching.

@moigonzaga Год назад

The way that she said “No” at 11:00 broke me. That first part of the episode always gets me.

@beesmith5379 Год назад

This series is the most comic accurate out of any. There is a mixture of one to one from the source material with creative liberty that make it such a masterpiece. I am so happy you decided to react to the Sandman. As always, another great reaction.

@gpeddino Год назад

Trivia: this episode closes the adaptation of "Preludes & Nocturnes", the first of ten narrative arcs from the 75 issues of the Sandman original comics. Now we move on to the second arc: "The Doll's House".

@michaelash8552 Год назад

I would call this episode a bridge because (more trivia) the story with Death is reprinted in both trade paperbacks for "Preludes and Noturnes" and "The Doll's House" and Hobbs story is in middle "The Doll's House" . Neither is really central to the arcs that surround them but I enjoy them both greatly.

@Doctor2285 Год назад

Episode 6 was one of my favorite episodes of the season. It was well written, acted and directed! Props to the writers for connecting two different storylines into one cohesive episode.

@mynameisd2849 Год назад

I love this episode cause it show the two sides of the coin, one one side you got the death bit, accepting it, for it is a gift, not a curse, on the other you have Robert a man that loves life so much he cant help but keep on livin even thorugh the darkest of times

@kiratheusagiisworkshop5266 Год назад

I was waiting for you to see this episode! Because Death always seem to hit home with people and I love watching how she makes people feel and how pretty much everyone agrees that she's a friend holding your hand through an unknown moment.

@Mangolite Год назад

I love the character of Hob Gadling. Unlike most immortals, he have a zest for life despite all the hardships he had experienced.

@ac7268 Год назад

Friend: What will you do with all that time? Hob: I’ll find better friends than you. centuries later… Dream: I’ve always heard it’s impolite to keep one’s friends waiting.

@TheAbominableDrFaustus Год назад

I enjoyed this series but I felt like this episode was far and away the best of the series. I remember reading the story about Hob Gadling in college and I think about it a lot.

@ryanflake3481 Год назад

I think, for a lot of fans of the original material it was a real bummer that this series didn't seem to make a splash the way some shows do, especially because it was such an amazing adaptation. However seeing through the eyes of people who are new to it all, and seeing that it was just as powerful and moving as long time fans always felt it was, has been a really great experience. I hope that the show continues, but either way I am glad that more people were exposed to this amazing work one way or the other.

@ShadowyFox_86 Год назад

It's made a really good impression (topping Netflix's charts in quite a few countries) overall, and it's had some amazing press. I just hope more and more people get to experience this series.

@emsnotes Год назад

The first half of this episode makes me cry everytime but its also my favorite episode

@BolofromAvlis Год назад

My favorite episode, and it barely scratches how great Neil Gaiman's comic series was. I have already watched it several times now, and the feeling stays with me. I worked as a caregiver and also worked in Hospice for a time and just found this very emotional and beautiful. I really hope Netflix greenlights a second season of this amazing show.

@o0pinkdino0o Год назад

Time to meet the family ! This one is special, particularly the bit with the baby. "Is that all I get ?" - "Yup... afraid so !" Stunning fiction.

@ShadowyFox_86 Год назад

Every time I see Death (here and in the comic), I'm inspired. How she treats the world, treats people, her siblings...she is the most grounded and amazing person of the lot. They're the kind of person I want to be.

@commandershepard96 Год назад

One of the best episode beginning to end I’ve seen in awhile out of any show 10/10 right here.

what a stunningly sad yet beautiful episode ... i cry every time i watch it.

@amandadougherty6615 Год назад

I had been waiting for you both to see this episode. So sad…so beautiful. And I completely agree about how you described the episodes- they go together, but they’re all total different. Like each is a comic book issue!

@louuu573 Год назад

this show will remain as one of my favourites for the rest of my life. me and my dad sat down on an august night and watched the entire season in a couple of days - we were hooked instantly - it was and is a masterpiece. everything about this show amazed me. the visuals are stunning. the characters are wonderful. everything is complex and it is just so interesting to watch everything unfold as you gain more information. i'm never going to forget this show. the amount of queer characters that were included impressed me - i've never seen anything be so inclusive before - it made me very happy. all of the characters are so unique and so is this world - it's beautiful.

@gregorysiegel1178 Год назад

You always see death twice, on the day you’re born and on the day you die, that’s why the recognized her

@meander8458 Год назад

When it comes to Hob, Dream just wants to see *what* Hob does, rather than expecting something in particular or notable. Shakespeare caught Dream’s attention because storytelling is very much his line of business, as it were (and in the comics there’s a whole subplot there!). Short hair *is* awesome, and…soo is Mason Alexander Park as Desire. They’re bloody brilliant.

@wtimmins Год назад

The sound of her wings is my favorite story in all of Sandman, and I tear up every time I see this.

@plan_r4005 Год назад

Such a beautiful episode,a rumination on Death and then an examination of Life. Death is my favorite character in not just the Sandman but in any story ever told. She is just wonderful, although it does make it awkward when someone asks who my favorite character is.

@kayaleandreaspencer631 Год назад

👩🏾‍💻 I'm so happy y'all love the show, I was so worried for Nikki to see this one, I thought she would check out when the Baby had to leave. I love your reactions, thank you for all your hard work. Also didn't You guys find it interesting that his Sister (Death) seems to always know what Dream needs? That's all for now, see y'all next week 🙋🏾‍♀️

@sonicboomkj Год назад

Going from episode 5 to 6 was the most refreshing take.

@artboymoy Год назад

This episode had two separate stories form the comic, but they match up beautifully here. The way that Death is here, is a bit like the Reapers in the show "Dead Like Me", which is very entertaining and bewildering as this first half was. The second half is pretty fun and interesting to see how humans still can find meaning to keep going on even when the chips are down. Great job holding back those tears, Nikki! I do like Desire's look as well. In the comics, since it was in the 1980's Desire looked like Patrick Nagel's style of drawing. You would recognize his art from Duran Duran's album cover RIO, and he often did illustrations for Playboy. When you see his art, you immediately think of the 1980's.

@kevinmackey3166 Год назад

The thing about Hob, when he's at his lowest point, is that he knows things will get better. He's seen life at its best, and at its worst, and knows that it will eventually turn around again. As someone with bipolar, I can actually really relate to that. There's times when it takes all my effort just to force myself out of bed in the morning, and the one thing I have to hold on to is that I know that I just need to ride it out, and eventually it will all start to look up. That said, Hob got a bit of a cheat -- not only does he not die, but he doesn't age. Who wouldn't want to live forever in the prime of their life? Look up the myth of Tithonus for someone who wasn't so lucky. Hell, I've only just entered the back end of my 40's and I'm already not as spry as I used to be.

This was one of my favorite episodes of the year for me from the all tv shows , loved it to bits and i watched it probably 7 times , makes me feel good as i struggle with depression amd to see someone so happy at the end makes me feel so good , i cant explain it with simple words but seeing Sandman and Rob felt heartwarming

@kvoltti Год назад

If you're enjoying this series you should check out Good Omens. Neil Gaiman is an amazing writer.

@dmann05 Год назад

The issue where Dream and Death walk and talk is one of the best single issue comics ever. I hope we get more Sandman and if they do make more, they make the Death miniseries too.

@knavehart Год назад

In the comic, when Death picks up the infant, we actually get to understand what the child is saying "Is that all there was? Is that all I get?" Also, did you notice how the pub conversations repeat themselves? Every hundred years, War, Taxes etc.... and Of course in the comic, he doesn't miss the 20th Century appointment. (the comic came out in 1989)

@l0ki_lux947 Год назад

Just to let you know that's was one of her iconic quote that we all heard from the show "When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave" and I love that they took that from the comics and put it in the show. And also Death is the most powerful Endless, followed by Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destiny.

They're all so powerful that the question is almost moot, really.

I don't know what to think about this episode. terribly beautiful?...the thought of my hand being held is beautiful. god i love this series

@b00jen81 Год назад

Just a neat FYI that you may have missed: Steven mentioned that the business owner probably put up the sign for The New Inn. But it was Hob who opened up the place, calling it "The New Inn" as a specific direction to Dream. And he's there every day, running his business but also just in case his old friend finally shows up. That's why they were able to meet again in the present on this random day, instead of on the appointed day in each century. I like to think now that Hob has the pub, Dream makes the time to stop in there more often than every 100 years :) Also, just LOVING y'alls reactions on this! So happy you are so into it, and really enjoying your takes and observations. Going to be sad when we get to the end of season 1 -- but hopefully, we'll get to watch season 2 together! 😬🤞

@VolrinSeth Год назад

My favorite episode. Both the parts with death and the parts with Hob.

Kirby Baptiste-Howell knocked the role of death out of the park. She's good enough that when I reread the original comic Death has her voice and rhythm. She was an amazing pick.

You two held together really well. I'm honestly surprised, but I do love how you two took the first half of the episode and the personification of death as beautiful rather than tragic.

@m.e.3862 Год назад

I'm in my 50s so the first part really hit home. Statistically I have 25-30yrs left so the spectre of death becomes more significant. I was at my father's bedside when he passed and I was the last person in my family that saw my mother before she died so when Death did her rounds I had to pause the show for a while. Also I laughed when Shakespeare was described as a crap playwright and was shown as a Christopher Marlowe fanboy because my renaissance drama prof pretty much thought the same thing
