Hey please look at (push 2009) it's a really nice movie christ evens is In there
not a chance, she would NOT have gone for him.......but NOT because she didn't care......rather, because the likelihood of being caught.....he COULDN"T give them what they wanted, she could
i will have to do some research into this story concept.......i always took it as, the kind face when born was the mother, and the kind face when dying is death
but it very well COULD BE the way the two of you are taking it......but that would make Death, also, Life
I could go LIGHTYEARS of distance with that idea
Death - Life
Dream - Wake
Desire - Repulsion
Despair - Elation
Destiny -
Destruction -
Delirium - Delight
Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Destruction, and Delirium (previously known as Delight)......those are the 7 siblings.......and Delirium (previously known as Delight) is the hint
i need "D" words for the above mentioned
i think i got something here
“The reason the Endless didn't free him isn't because they weren't aware of the situation, but because they aren't a superteam; rushing to the rescue isn't what they're about. The Endless stick to hoeing their own farms” - Neil Gaiman in the sandman companion book.
Plus, there are probably rules limiting how much they can affect the mortal world. There are always rules.
@@stephenhumphreys9149 Yeah, Dream was "legally" bound by the rules of magic, so his siblings couldn't intervene on his behalf--not without breaking the rules.
@@stephenhumphreys9149 Also Dream is so prideful and stubborn he wouldn’t have appreciated having to be rescued like that. He was upset they didn’t think of him, but he would have been more upset being seen in such a vulnerable light. There’s other comics that say they did try to rescue him, but the universe thwarted their efforts, and I think it would have been worse if he knew they tried to save him but couldn’t.
@@ericjette2435 that’s a way more satisfactory answer and one I’ve pondered about. Most people don’t seem to get ‘why’ they couldn’t help but it’s as simple as that. Their are universal laws that’s can’t be broken.
That stings a little more than in the comic though, because in the comic I'm pretty sure, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, that Roderick Burgess didn't die right in front of him like in the show. Which means Death was literally standing there right in front of him in his prison. Did he even see her? She'd have had to see him.
This episode starts out in such a dark and disturbing way you almost don't want to continue watching. The way it ends makes you glad you did.
Death is something we all encounter at the end of our journey, it takes away those who mean the most to us, so much so we fear it when it comes to ourselves.
Who we are, all we've done, all we love, taken away in an instant, this drives that fear.
What are we? What is it that makes mind, conciousness, awareness?
At the fundamental level ALL matter is energy condensed into matter, from the grains of sand on a beach to the greatest minds in history. All comes from energy.
Science shows us that energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transform into another form of energy.
Is that what religion calls the soul? In our passing does that energy just stop because our bodies cease to function?
No we transcend the mortal life and our energy disperses into another form beyond our comprehension...
THAT is what we fear, the lack of KNOWING what's to come.... We shouldn't fear death at all..
Excelente reacción chicos, me encantó, saludos desde Argentina🇦🇷
House of the dragon ep4 pls
One little thing I think is worth mentioning is that the Endless aren’t Gods. In a lot of ways they’re more than that because in a lot of Gaiman’s work, Gods exist only because people believe that they exist, and when they’re forgotten, they die/fade. The Endless however, exist beyond that. Just because you don’t believe in Death, doesn’t mean Death stops. Just because you don’t believe in Dreams, doesn’t mean you still don’t have Dreams. They don’t End. Hence, the Endless.
They will never end (in this universe), until the last being dies. They are our best and worst of everything.
Ohhhhhhh
This episode felt perfect to me. One half shows embracing and accepting death when it comes. The other, shows embracing life even through its ups and downs.
She didn't helped him because he didn't ask. its one of the reasons she was mad at him
You see, Big Sister Death's boon wasn't really the immortality that's been granted to Hob...
what she actually did was give her brother a friend 😊
Also in the books. Anyone can say no to death, it's just we choose not to. Hobbs "figured out" that he cluld say no to death and returns to his body whenever he dies
Death seems to be a very good judge of character. I think she knew there was good to come of Dream meeting someone just as stubborn as he is.
At the end when Dream finds him at The New Inn, Hob is grading history tests. At this point he's working as a history teacher.
I missed that the first time around
The irony of the interactions with Gadling is that Dream was at loose ends after 100 years of imprisonment and Death herself was almost driven to quit, but Hob has been through as much and worse over the centuries and always kept going. Dream realized that humans can endure much more than the Endless. We aren't as powerful in the same way, but we have our own strengths that they can learn from.
The ability for humanity to endure is something I think Death understands better than any of the Endless. She is so beautiful in that way. And I think she's pushed Dream in many ways into understanding humanity better.
I love Death. She is the perfect person to be there for everyone when they die. So kind!
If her face was the last thing I ever saw, I would be extremely very OK with that.
How Death came to be so kind is such a beautiful part of her story.
I cried so much over this episode. Every person I've seen react to this has such an honest emotional response. If they know the comic, there's such joy when she comes on screen. If they don't...meeting Harry causes this snowballing of emotion and realizing Franklin is on the docket. Then we get Hob and a much needed dopamine boost.
Dream is the place where inspiration is born. Give someone dreams and they'll pursue them.
Harry is sad, but we expect old people to die. It's the baby that breaks me every time 😭
I haven't read the comics yet, so I'm speaking from a somewhat ignorant perspective, but I saw it as Dream is the author of all dreams and nightmares. Aside from an actual muse, I can't imagine another entity with the ability to inspire people with ideas better than he and perhaps even better than a muse. However, I like that idea "Give someone dreams and they'll pursue them." Well put.
Oh I cried hard. I've got two sons the idea that one of them would have died when they were a baby I mean literal instant tears right there I can cry on demand just thinking about it.
It was very hard to watch
@@colinmelton3815 It was worse in the comics--you see the mother's reaction. It was probably a smart decision for the TV adaptation to skip that part.
@@ericjette2435 They really do that scene so masterfully. You get that Death understands the baby, and then as Dream and Death leave, you hear just enough of the mom that your mind fills in the blanks.
The fellow playwright sitting with Shakespeare is Christopher Marlowe the author of Doctor Faustus-a play about a man making a deal with devil. Marlowe was friends with Shakespeare, and was probably more popular at the time-especially since this seems to be a young Shakespeare who’s still learning his craft, and he likely hasn’t yet written any of the work he will be known for.
Inside Dream's castle there are paintings of Shakespeare and Marlowe on either side of the staircase.
In the comic, they actually quoted from Shakespeare's very first play, which was just downright terrible. And Marlowe had zero issues with telling Will that.
@@Taliesyn42 Taming of the Shrew isn't downright terrible. Kiss Me Kate, on the other hand...
@@Taliesyn42 His first was probably Henry VI part 2, and Gaiman follows that. And if you haven’t heard of it, well, there’s a reason.
Incidentally, everyone talks about Shakespeare being in the episode, and a lot of people talk about Marlowe, but nobody comments on “Geoffrey” in the 1389 scene. That’s Geoffrey Chaucer, basically the founding father of English-language literature - whose masterpiece is a vast collection of diverse stories, which starts in an inn.
@@PhilMasters Thank you. I have been wondering who that was meant to be.
8:06 It isnt really an unspoken thing, it was specified that the Endless themselves are also the lord of the opposite of whatever it is they represent, Dream - Reality, Despair - Hope, Destruction - Creation, etc...., so people actually "meet" Death twice in their lives, the first time when their born, when Death breathes life into them and the second time when they die. It was explained that most people don't remember meeting her the first time since they were just newborn babies at the time, but they remember her instantly when they meet her again when they die......
I didn't think about this until I read your comment, but Dream makes use of his opposite in a powerful scene in Episode 10.
In theory, Franklin’s death is sad, but her response to him has been making me laugh for 30 years.
“This close huh?”
And
“I need to show you something”
Also, fun thing about this is when Dream hears a Constantine has his pouch he responds that he knew a Constantine in the past and if anything like that previous one, she would serve him well. He neglects to mention that if the new Constantine is anything like the old one, she’d try to kidnap him.
The language Lushing Loo used is probably accurate. Lushing Loo was a real Victorian prostitute who called brandy “a drain of pale”, came from a well off family and was abused and impregnated by her cousin at a relatively young age.
She wasn’t known as the hospital though, that was someone else.
In the comic it was "You better come over here. There's something you maybe oughta see...", but, yeah, I thought the TV show did a really good job adapting that moment.
That part just ties a very nice bow on the introduction to Death in the show. It's her same perky self that we've all been falling in love with for 30 years.
Of course death knew, because she was there when Roderick Burgess died, and he knew thatn she was there. But he was too proud to ask, because, as she said, he did not think!
First on my favorite episode! Hob Gadling is the man! (Except for the slave trader bit)
Yeah, the slave trade was a poor life choice, but he did learn better. In the comics, he carried a lot of guilt over it.
Ohhhh GREAT catch in your observation about Dream already being sour with humans in general after his lil tiff with Hobb Gadling. I don't doubt that was on Morpheus's mind in those years in captivity, very likely before. Wow I thought I had caught everything already, but that was such a great observation, so thanks for sharing guys!
ps. Had Hobb known about Dream's situation at the Burgess house, I like to imagine Hobb coming to the rescue to free his broseph/bestie Dream. I'd like to see that alternate story🙃😆
Hobs would've been a dangerous man at that point.
The guy with the leg next to Will Shakespeare was Kit Marlowe, or Christopher Marlowe, the man who wrote Faust. He was also a great playwright.
When you realized what the second story was I was like “That’s right bitch it’s Hob, it’s your favorite!” Lmfao ❤️
Death would’ve helped Dream if he asked her. She got mad at him for not asking for help. They aren’t supposed to meddle in each other’s affairs without invitation (even if Desire tends to poke about Dream’s stuff).
Death is such a warm individual and it's obvious to anyone with even a minor glance that she's been Dream's biggest support.
In the graphic novels Death explains how she got over the things she deals with when it comes to her job. She becomes mortal once every 100 years and lives for a day before she takes herself.
If they have additional seasons, I hope they do an episode about that. I have some ideas...
I do hope to see a Death miniseries covering her comics.
I would love to have a miniseries about Death. I also hope they make more seasons.
The story of the person who changed Death's perspective makes the first half of this episode hit so much harder. How she used to be what everyone thought of...and then how she is now. It's amazing storytelling.
You should read Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. Skeleton death is a pretty comforting presence as well.
As long as you aren't mean to cats...
Such a beautiful adaptation, combining these two issues was a master stroke of adaptation.
I love how the inn crowd are talking about the same things for centuries.
Please don’t spoil your partner.. let him wonder and think.. 🙄
this episode straight up backhanded me with out good it was, and i thought the diner episode was amazing too. i really hope they renew this show so we can get more of these stories
edit: seeing Madison’s excitement is so contagious lol i love the juxtaposition of Christian as a non-reader! keep up the awesome work i hope all is well!
The world needed to recover a bit, but Morpheus is not concerned with humanity rebuilding so the story is also not concerned with it
This is my favorite episode of TV this year. Something really cool Gaiman revealed is that all of Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare's dialogue is in iambic pentameter, a rhyming scheme the two authors were famous for and revolutionized. And Hob at the end wasn't paying bills but was grading papers. He's a history teacher.
11:44 Now *that’s* joy right there. I didn’t read Sandman before this show came out but I quickly learned that Hob’s story is one of the most beloved issues. Seeing fan’s reactions when it hits them that’s the whole second half of this episode is so wholesome! 😊
If Sam could have been resuscitated then Death wouldn't have even been there. Remember, she only comes when "it's time." Resuscitation doesn't cheat Death, resuscitation doesn't delay Death, and it doesn't give you more time. If you are resuscitated, then it simply wasn't your time.
Symbols for the Endless are...
1) Ankh for Death (ironic because it's the Egyptian symbol for life)
2) Hook for Despair (she self mutilates with the hook)
3) Heart for Desire (He/She live inside a heart)
4) Book for Destiny
5) Ink Blot or Blob or Swirling Shape for Delirium
6) Helmut for Dream
7) Sword for Destruction (aka the Prodigal Son.)
I doubt Death shows up if they're destined to be revived. I suspect Dream avoids food and drink because he doesn't care for the process that follows. Most people miss Chaucer in the original visit to the inn, but most catch Shakespeare. Even Lushing Lou is based on a real person.
I mean, I couldn't blame Dream for that. 😂 Although I imagine he feels above those sort of things at that time. I never knew Lushing Lou was based on a real person! That makes this episode even better.
this is actually my most fav episode. also the last living thing that Death of the Endless guide is Destiny of the Endless because even Death can overpower any Gods and any mortals in DC Omniverse, she cannot bring upon death on Angels of The Presence/Source.
also beside Destiny and The Fate, Death can also see future and past moment of any living, and when she grants immortality it's different than annulet of protection or anything, she grant an eternity until Death say so
I love how Death grants immortality. She knows what she's giving because she's seen so much of the universe. I had wondered if Death would guide Destiny.
Regarding the symbols at the end of the episode, each of the Endless has their own domain like the Dreaming. Each of their palaces contains a chamber that holds the sigils (symbols) of the other six. When the siblings want to talk to each other, or ask permission to enter the other's realm, they enter their chamber and hold the sigil of the sibling they want.
I think that he was captured by humans changed him. Before he was I am Lord Morphius, I am powerful Endless. I don't need anybody. Humans serve me. But he was stuck for 100 years in a fish ball, naked, and was captured by humans with no power. He. The Sandman. That made him humble and emphatic and not bitter, vengeful, and full of hatred for all humans.
I think the episodes leading up to this have started to soften the rigid Lord Morpheus. He's not the personification he was in the past, and the fact he apologizes to Hob says so much about how much Death's talk got to him.
As a hospice worker, this is the best representation of hospice work I've seen. At least, how we hospice workers see ourselves, anyway 😂 Great reaction, guys! Thanks for sharing ❤
I really think her reflection on function being purpose and that functioning with the people we serve as a collaborative communal effort is a beautiful insight for humans too. We complicate things with grandeur the same as Dream and, as episode 5 put it, we need to or we'll lose our humanity, but we can find comfort in returning to the comfort that we function to be alive, eat good food, sleep someplace safe, help our species continue, and be aware of the world around us. If we do those things together, it's near to paradise
I think it's part of why so many people fall in love with these two characters most. They see themselves most in these two, for the reasons you say.
Easily my favourite episode of this awesome show. Excellent casting for Death and Hob 😊
I've seen so many people react to this episode and it speaks SO well of the casting that it dawns on all of them without ever having Death's name spoken.
my favorite episode 😊
My favorit episode
The henry thing was genius
He ry sold the catholic churches land which is what they talking about he would definitly of made somone a lord for contrabution at that time as it was a strugle to turn the country protestant alot of uos and downs in that time period from it
You asked what the deal was that he made with Shakespeare. We can certainly tell you, if you really want, but be aware that if they do the full series run, there will be a couple episodes that explicitly explain it.
Without mortals, none of the endless have a function. Life is what gives these great, eternal forces meaning and purpose. Without life, there is no need for death, just as without death, there is no purpose in life. What is the realm of Dream without the dreamers? Desire, Despair, Destruction, Delirium... none have a place in a purely mechanistic universe. Even Destiny has no purpose without mortals to walk the paths of his garden.
And yeah, I love Hob Gadling. He's my favorite character, and I absolutely love his joy of life. Even when things are at their worst, he never loses sight of "things can be better, and I have so much to live for." Heck, if I could make a deal with Dream to meet every hundred years, you can be sure that I would! XD
As for the "talismans," all of the Endless have a gallery in their homes, where the symbols of their siblings (save for the prodigal's) are there. It is basically the phone line to their siblings. It isn't anything ominous, it's just part of the way things work for them. And yes, Desire has a bit of a rivalry with Dream. Desire, Despair, and Delirium, as the younger siblings, tend to play games with mortals, and more actively mess with them, while the older siblings are kind of... 'above' that. Desire, in particular, is just... resentful of Dream not joining in on their fun. But, hey, one of my _other_ favorite stories is Three Septembers and a January, where he does join in on one of their games XD It is... a very satisfying story, all told.
In a prequel written after the series conclusion it was suggested that the reason for Desire's particular animosity towards Dream is because Desire played a trick on Dream that cost him his lover (loving Dream never ends well), and as a result Dream swore to have nothing further to do with Desire. And *nobody* rejects Desire (at least to their mind). Hence their tendency to prod Dream whenever they can.
Couldn’t wait to see your reaction to this episode! Excited for the next!
Hob Gadling has been one of my favorite characters in fiction, and Kingsley played him so well. I loved this, and I really liked how excited you got when you saw where the story was going, and they were bringing Hob in. I was the same way.
To me, this was the best and well written episode. Death is a fan, and my, Favorite other than Dream.
Thank you for sharing guys! It was awesome to see Madison so affected by the first story, then uplifted by the second. All smiles by the end! 🥲🙃😁
Loved the reaction guys! That was my absolute favourite in the book as well as the show, was so well done 🍻
So happy to see how excited you got when you realised they were covering Hob.
HOBS 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💙
Each Endless has a galery with the sigils of their siblings in their realm - sort of family portraits that also can be used to call upon each other
This is just such a good episode of TV. Emotional, beautiful, entertaining, intriguing, thought-provoking, sad, comforting, and more! My favourite episode of the season for sure, but there are other episodes that are right up there too!
I am still amazed that this episode really is just conversations all never really going outside of a very small area.
I think that the worst of the chaos was concentrated in the diner, but was starting to spread out; for most people it would have been just a strange bout of insanity and tragedy worldwide. And Dream said that he would let them sleep it off before they have to rebuild everything; it also wouldn’t be the first time we as a species had to do that.
Episodes 4, 5, and 6 are a knockout combo.
The emotional gutpunch of this episode is getting close to "The Body" in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And thats a REALLY high bar to reach.
not a chance, she would NOT have gone for him.......but NOT because she didn't care......rather, because the likelihood of being caught.....he COULDN"T give them what they wanted, she could
Yes joshing is old english slang
And still slang.
Though that slang is quite clean, he’s still Neil “Filthy Mouth In At Least Seven Centuries” Gaiman 😉
8:13 - *“What if they resuscitate him? Would he be like ‘I saw Death!’?”
No, if they were able to resuscitate him, she wouldn't have come for him in the first place. She doesn't come for people who are temporarily, _technically_ "dead" by the human, medical definition. She comes when it's your time.
I thought the show was absolutely incredible up till episode 6, and this episode 6 was pinnacle, just a masterpiece. 🥰 Hob's story is my fave too but Death parts were amazing as well. Sadly I feel show went downhill from here... :/
This is not only my favourite Sandman episode but one of my top best episode of any series. If you liked this concept of immortality please watch
The Man From Earth 2007 movie.
You will love it.
Think about it, Jessemy and Burgess died right in front of the glass cell, so Death was RIGHT THERE. She saw Dream. There are rules, one Endless can't interfere in the life of another without permission. Dream was too stubborn to ask for help
Read the book Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramungo - Death does quit reaping souls.
I've seen a lot of movies and series so far. (I'm freaking 50 years old) but never an episode of a series that was so perfectly written, acted and filmed. Absolutely awful and sad but not cheesy for a second. Statements that seem like a natural conversation between beings who support each other. Although I've written film reviews for a while, I'm at a loss for words about this series (especially this episode).
Older Sis always clears up the language and makes things straight. Don't think you can riddle words and meanings with Death, even if you are Dream.
It was a roller coaster! Death, destruction and surprisingly, life affirming.
this exact episode is peak fiction, I doubt it could be done any better than this, it all works together so well and with the first half being accepting death and the second being accepting life no matter the circumstance aughh
Great reactions, y’all. This was a beautiful episode.
dont know why everyone that reacts to this episode gets "mad" or kind of angry of Death doing her work man, I think they all are missing the meaning of the episode
I love love love the fact that we don't get to see her in her form with wings because we haven't earnt that yet. its kind of beautiful
Imagine if he had captured Death--the repercussions of having no death for a hundred years.
Men of Good Fortune is my favorite story too and I had no idea it was going to be included in the season so it was the best surprise to have my two favorite Sandmam stories in one episode
Probably top 10 single episodes of TV ever for me
She was perfectly cast and a wonderful story
Not that he's the black sheep, but that Desire was happy he wasn't there.
Saddest fucking episode I ever saw
This is like the bet God and Satan make about Job.
Why would the baby see Death when he was born?
Take Your Emo Brother to Work Day.
I want you to see Haikyuu!! is next
Love your reactions!
This episode crushed me 😭
You asked, "what if death stopped?" but not realizing this is the same universe as TV's "Lucifer" show. The recast it, but its the same author.
TV's Lucifer had zero to do with the comic Lucifer. Nothing at all.
Another fantastic reaction, you guys are the best 👌
When death comes for me, I will walk with him/her as an old friend. Death is not an enemy, just a doore you have to walk trough. Love from Sweden 💙💛
so glad you guys are doing this series
The scene with Sam on the Lake hit me so hard. The Actor did such a good job for such a small and short role. His shaky voice was so heartbreaking.
And I love your excitement when Hobs story began :D
all immortal characters always accumulate money, if I were immortal I would only accumulate debts
Thanks!
Best episode
I know you guys are busy, are you still doing House of the Dragon reactions?
Death is omniscient, she's knows everything
Great reaction especially your experience with the comic
🤘😝🤘
Nobody sees Death when they're born -- not sure where you got that from :)
It comes up in the comic, later on than here.
@@SunlessNick Yeah - it’s never shown, but there’s a suggestion that Death gives you your first breath and takes away your last.
Oh but you do. All of the Endless also show up for their opposite. Death breathes life into you when you're born, and she's there to greet you when it's your time.
Hob definitely made this episode.
@12 Feet Up I think she'd agree with me. I really hope the actress improves if we ever get another season. Death is quite important then.
@12 Feet Up
Wot? Just because i'm critical of one single part, of a single episode in the entire show, i shouldn't watch it? What kind of logic is that?
@@AlexanderForsman I'm curious what you felt was missing in her performance.
@@ShadowyFox_86 mainly a performance of any kind. It felt like she was just reading a script.
She later posted a picture mimicking a scene from the comic, and it was better than her entire onscreen appearence. Hopefully it indicates that she'll improve in season 2.
Can you react to the new Black Adam trailer? I think you’ll love it😍
See them.... like....no question... haven't even watched it yet
Maybe I misunderstood... but I got the impression that everything that happened, and that we saw happening on the television, in episode 5 was happening inside a dream. I thought that when the Ruby knocked out Morpheus we sort of got forced into a dream so he could understand why it wasn't listening to him anymore and what John wanted to do with it.
The events of episode 5 take place in the waking world, except for when Morpheus and John go into The Dreaming for their confrontation. I do think your idea is very interesting, but I’m reasonably certain that Dream doesn’t dream, in that it’s not unconsciousness like we would experience it, but a void of consciousness while he’s incapacitated.
The time that has passed is vague (even in the comics), but the implication is that things had gotten enough back to normal by the time Dream is feeding the pigeons. While John’s use of the ruby had caused disasters (and there probably was evidence of it that we just didn’t see), it didn’t get to the point of cataclysmic. Death was probably putting in overtime, though.
@@0okamino I assume that Dream has spent the time between the events of episode 5 and this episode rebuilding the Dreaming. He had his own rebuilding to do.
love you both so genuine
