So...lots of dong in this show generally (relative to the rest of the shows I watch anyway), but the Jinn was really swinging one.
I'm guessing that he gave up his essence and was relieved of his "imprisonment" in the new world? The Jinn seemed really miserable, but the failed salesman was ecstatic to assume the mantle...not really sure if that was because he hated sales THAT much after 1 week or if he was still riding the supernatural post-coital wave.
Breaking my promise, I read up on this scene. We've seen the Jinn before. He was:
Who was the guy in the diner with whom Wednesday met?
This guy. So we know he's still in play.
Will we meet the oldest Russian sister? I assume she'll intervene so that Shadow doesn't get the hammer bash.
Yes and yes.
I didn't really get the point of the Anubis scene, unless it was just to introduce another god to the playing field. The woman observed her Islamic faith her entire life, but because she heard some Egyptian fables back in the day she gets judged by Anubis rather than Allah? At first I thought the point was that our modern-ish religions were meaningless and that the old gods are the real forces of power in the celestial world.
Wednesday's comments about Jesus (well, about ALL the Jesuses) later in the episode, however, make it clear that those deities are still around and a part of the discussion. In fact, if enough people believe in one, apparently the god is born/survives. Wednesday says that his only fear is being forgotten...and he's not being glib. If no one remembers him (or any of the gods) he will cease to exist.
