I'm going to address the elephant in the room. George's wife name: Hippolyta. You know where I'm going with this, they cover this a little in the prequels is she an Immortal?

Hippolyta - In Classical Greek mythology, Hippolyta, or Hippolyte was a daughter of Ares and Otrera, queen of the Amazons, and a sister of Antiope and Melanippe.
In the previews they have a story for her. I doubt that her name doesn t have a significance

Good shit about the names of the victims and the kids with the Ouija board.

There needs to be a warning for that and gay shit. We don't want to see that shit

And how is a woman as fine as Letitia fucking Lewis a virgin?

Cuz like a lot of fine women they get hit up the minute they walk out the door and given the era and her skin color, dudes probably imagined they were with her.

God damn white people are the fucking worst!!!. I couldn’t have lived back then . I want to go back in time and kill every white man woman and child. I would blow a Racist cacs baby’s head clean off with a 12 gauge . Everybody getting it
I fucking hear you. Living back then must have been fucking hell. I heard black Marine Corps vets saying that white people used to throw live grenades in black people's tents

How are you going to be fighting the war and the people who you came with too

Emmett Till reference was amazing. Another one of those kids was Gil Scott Herron. The guy moving in with his dog was James Baldwin. The Martin Luther King Jr reference when they alluded that he was engaged to a white woman first in conversation was accurate. If they keep this up in terms of reality mixed with historical fiction the re-watch value is going to be thru the roof.
Wait, how and what scene did they allude to King having an affair with a white woman?

I think that's part of the genius of this show. It showcases how just trying to live a normal life as a black American in the Jim Crow era was a LITERAL horror story. Having to navigate between lynch mobs and crooked sheriffs while trying to grab lunch on a roadtrip is scary enough, the monsters were just the icing on the cake.

yeah, they haven't gone into how she healed yet. Letie was shot before Tic was asked to make a choice. Tic didn't actually choose George, he just looked at him and dude just shot him

He took Tik looking at his "uncle" in that brief sec as Tik making the choice subconsciously

This. This show reveals their true nature. Scummy cowards that have to attack in packs. As soon as we kick their asses, they call the po pos and play the victim. This is must see tv...

So much with this show. Someone online said that the party scene is a throw back to 1954 Carmen Jones with Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Bellafonte

Really good show.. still vibing real well....

Question when Atticus pops(Uncle[Omar]) was like:

"So what. You want to tell them that Wizards exist? That white folks got magic on their side too."

Around the 12 min mark.

So is it understood that Black people have access to magic or is this in relation to old school voodoo or something? Anybody got any insight on this (those that didn't read the book)?

For those that did read the book will this be explained?

Due to dynamics of the time, obviously it's not restricted just to that time period but given the time period. There was a certain amount of power when she made that statement:
