American Gods. Last year, Bryan Fuller left Star Trek: Discovery because of scheduling conflicts with another show he was developing. That show, American Gods, premiered last week. Based on the Neil Gaiman novel, American Gods tells the story of an ex-convict who becomes involved in a war between gods being fought on Earth. In this episode of Stage Nine, John and Mike take a look at the pilot for Fuller's new show. We discuss Fuller's trademarks, speculate on his reasons for leaving Discovery, and debate whether or not to continue watching past the pilot. In news, we discuss the latest round of Discovery cast members, including Rekha Sharma.
