    I teared up when Death said "When the first living thing existed, I was there waiting. 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." That was quoted straight out of the comic book I read when I was just 10.

Honestly, Sandman was SO far ahead of its time in showing non-binary people in an honest, matter of fact way (even if they're more of an anthropomorphic concept than a person). Desire was genderfluid before most people knew what genderfluid was.

    I think the mistakes Hob Gadling was referring to was less about not having a family, but more about the lesson of not living in one place for too long of a time (hence why he got suspected of being a witch during his third century) and also referring to his regret of having been part of the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade (he more explicitly admits to regretting having been part of it in the original comic)

The Dreaming is part of the Sunless Lands, too. So yeah, old dude almost certainly went to his version of Heaven, because that's where he would want to go.

    Neil Gaiman is the writer of Sandman. He’s heavily involved in the series. Creative control. The show’s had to meet his expectations.
    Gaiman also wrote the novel American Gods, which was made for TV by Amazon Prime. He co-wrote Good Omens, also adapted into an Amazon series. It’s freaking great. Other TV credits include episodes of Doctor Who, Babylon 5. Lucifer is loosely based on one of his comics too, now that I think about it.
    Coraline the movie was adapted on his story. Same for Mirror Mask. I think Gaiman also wrote the screenplay for Beowulf. As well as the English dialogue for the adaptation of Princess Mononoke.

      Small Correction. American Gods was on Starz.
      Also Gaiman also wrote the graphic novel Stardust, which he adapted into a prose novel, which was then adapted into a movie of the same name. One of his earlier novels Neverwhere was adapted into a BBC show.

      In fact, Lucifer was based on *this* comic. Kind of. The show was loosely based on Mike Carey's run, but Carey's Lucifer is technically the same Lucifer from The Sandman, just in a different situation. So in an alternate universe, Gwendolyn Christie is the one solving crimes in LA 😁

    This is my favorite episode of TV so far this year. And there are a lot of little detail in this episode too. All of Will Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe's lines are said in iambic pentameter, a style of lyrical poetry they were famous for and the conversation of the bar patrons through the centuries are all the same. They are all discussing politics, impending apocalyptic events, the same or a similar joke. And the dude who plays Hob is Ben Kingsley's son, Ferdinand Kingsley.

    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.
