'American Gods' season 2 episode 1: The New Gods draw first blood and end up uniting the Old Gods

In the first epiosde of 'American Gods' season 2, Shadow Moon is abducted by the New Gods while Zorya Vechernyaya, 'the Evening Star', is shot dead

The second season premiere of 'American Gods' was dramatic, visually brilliant and marked an important beginning in the lives of the Old Gods. We saw Wednesday bring the Old Gods together at the House on the Rock to discuss the importance of war against the New Gods. In the meeting, however, not all the Old Gods were interested in war.

For instance, Mama-Ji (Sakina Jaffrey) says she is not interested in bringing bloodshed to her backyard that has so far been peaceful. She also insists that a war that is not needed will only bring more loss to the Old Gods who remain forgotten by their people.
