Morpheus and Hob's Timeless Friendship | The Sandman | Netflix Philippines

After years of imprisonment, Morpheus - the King of Dreams - embarks on a journey across worlds to find what was stolen from him and restore his power. - Zábava
So nice to see a story that doesn't fall into the "curse of immortality" trope, while still acknowledging the challenges of a human being immortal.
He’s not immortal, Dream and Death agreed that she would not take him….unless he wanted it. She thought that a human would get tired of life at some point and and seek death. So far Mr Gadling has not.
@@robertsole9970 Wouldn't that mean that, while he doesn't seek Death out, he technically is immortal? Yes, I do mean it in a technical sense. So long as Death or Dream don't change their mind, Hob doesn't seek out death, he is for all intents and purposes, Immortal.
@@kuroiphox989 yes. He has no superpower or altered genetics. Death agreed with Dream not to take him, that’s all. I hope they do the backstory of Hobb a bit more like in the comics.
@@robertsole9970 Oh, I know that. S'why I mentioned the deal.~
@@kuroiphox989 in the comics, he begins to have second thoughts after Dream dies….Death meets him and is ready to take him….but he says no, not ready to go just yet and she lets him live.
Can we acknowledge how Hob never lost faith in Morpheus? He's not resentful, bitter, angry or sad that he missed their last meeting. He carried on and greeted him with the same happiness he did the last few centuries.
Of course he did. He is his friend.
I mean when you've been around that long, you probably learn to let a _lot_ of stuff slide that truly doesn't matter. Who wants to hold onto emotional baggage for centuries?
@@TrappedinaBrain That’s a true friendship…
That is literally the true measure of a friend.
If Hob had known Dream's reason for not being away, I'd bet he would've shown up at Rodrick's house with literal canons blazing.
Hob: "I think you just want a friend" 🙂
Dream: 😡
Dream was such a tsundere back then...
he wanted something more
People tend to get angry at the truth pretty easily.
This was such a cute comment oh my goodness
Truth hurts
My favorite scene is their earlier interaction.
“I’ve hated every second of the last 80 years, every bloody second. You know that?”
“So do you still wish to live?”
“Are you crazy? Death is a mug’s game. I got so much to live for.”
I howl with laughter every time I watch that scene. It’s so unexpectedly and gloriously filled with hope. 😂
The virgin “give up on life at your lowest” vs the Chad “recognize that only at your lowest is there the most for you to gain”
Exactly. I've had enough of the whole "curse of immortality" thing!
That's life for you.
This Hob fella is probably immune to depression 😂😂😂.
i was expecting he'd want to die when he lost his family but he moved on and on. while life may be torture for most of us, this guy sees the good in the unknown.
Yeah, i was shock too when he still wants to live more and he's very resillient person. I love the look of morpheus when he knew heard hob's response like for the 1st time he felt that the human is very much interesting than the first time he met him 😅.
Life is not a torture sweetheart, we need to shift our thinking in that sense. It's a beautiful journey and it's simple in its own
After he lived for 500 years, he have to change his mindset & perspective of the world around him
@@asmita9038 the art of letting go is something i am still learning to accept.
I think after you’ve been around for 500 years, there probably isn’t much “unknown” left, the world follows patterns and cycles. That’s why you see the immortality as a curse trope, things become boring when everything’s predictable.
Also, I believe people only get so much joy or purpose in their lives. After you’ve fulfilled that, what else is there to do? Even if you find new hobbies/goals, I’d imagine you’d run out of ones you still enjoy in 500 years time.
the reunion in the new inn was so wholesome, the way they smile because they're happy to see each other brought a tear to my eye. the whole time I was like "Awwwww!"
Same
Same. Loved Hobs smile when he looked up and saw Dream.
When he finally called him "friend" I was so so happy !!
Just Dream having genuine affection for a human being, and letting it show.
It's also interesting how different the vibe of the new inn is compared to the old one. The old inn was dark, somewhat mysterious, and steeped in history. The new inn on the other hand is well lit and while new feels cozier and more intimate than the old inn. A good bit of symbolism I think for how Dream and Hob's relationship has now changed to a genuine friendship, plus how Dream himself has over the course of the series changed to being more open to change
As many have commented before, this was the best episode. It really could be it’s own show.
hell no this was good but ep 4 and 5 were wayyy better
@@ShadowSand147 you're entitled to your wrong opinion
@@virtualspacenaut Fr
So many parts of the Sandman universe could be their own full story. it's the story of stories
Favorite episode for me
Interesting that Hob settled on being a teacher in the 21st century, you can see at 3:04 he is grading some multiple choice questions, wouldn't surprise me at all if he decided on being a history teacher with all his centuries of life experience and knowledge :)
Oh…. I thought maybe he bought the bar and was filling out some business paperwork. Great eye!!!
@@galaxylucia1898 i thought the same
I imagine he would find it really interesting to relearn about the centuries he lived through. No one really gets a good idea of the forces that shape their life until long after.
@@LiveyOmarandmiaherrera I wish I had immortality so I view the events set the course of history or just to simply see the life span of red wood from seedling to tree.
@@LiveyOmarandmiaherrera Would have been funny to see some of his revelations.
"Oh, so THAT'S where the Black Death came from! It was the fleas the whole time! Wow, me and my mates were way off!"
This whole segment is something so unique that I have never seen anything like it depicted in any other show or movie (that I know of). The whole "experiment" if you would call it that is such a brilliant take on the concept of human immortality.
100%!
If you have seen "good omens" which Also nail gaiman's work you will find similiar scenes between crowly and aziraphale ♥️
It's fascinating how much we fear death. No matter how harsh, excruciating life can be, we still dont want to end it.
Indeed.
It is refreshing actually. I am sick and tired of the whole argument about not wanting immortality because loved ones, death gives meaning and stuff like that.
People in their mind have connected death with aging and immortality with forever aging. But death is just a symptom of aging. To combat death (biological at least) we need to treat aging like the decease it is. When we reach that level, we will be able to stay in a productive age.
The mentality Hob has in the series is the mentality that i would bet most humans would have given immortality. It would be a gift, not a curse
what bluffed me the most is to see the transition between the 19th century and the 20th century, it jumped in my face, the technological gap between these 2 eras, amazed me
same. see it go from jack the ripper era to late '80s is crazy
yep after multiple hundreds of years of things barely changing!reminded me of how insane human development has been in the last 100 yrs
Same!
Right!?!
Technology works like an exponential graph. At first, it gradually rises at a very slow pace. And then bam! It starts to sky rocket and keeps going higher and higher !
In a decade or so, the world will be completely different because of how fast we’re now advancing. Our era is like no other!
I wish they expanded this story a bit more and included Hobbs in more stories. It's a great story!
If you've read the comicbook series, you'll know that Robert 'Hob' Gadling reappears down the road. Not as frequently as perhaps you'd like and I could have happily spent more time with him too, but then, I know broadly what's coming.
@@teresaravenshaw5477 Can I ask for an opinion? Which is a better choice for a new reader: Omnibus or Absolute Ed.? Are the bonus contents on Absolute Ed really that important to see? I checked the contents from Reddit, but I don't know how/what to make out of it. Thank you
Reminds me of The Witcher and Jaskier but somehow even sweeter.
If you watch carefully, he appeared in the background multiple times like an extra, starting from ep07
@@HyeRyShin0405 the bonus content is just scripts for the issues and some drawings iirc. The absolutes have beautiful covers but a little more costly, omnibuses collect more in one volume but they are big and comfortable to read only on tables. There are also the 10 tpbs which you can buy one by one or buy them whole as a 30th anniversary collection. If you want more info, you can see videos from "gem mint collectibles" and "for the love of comics" about the absolutes
Hobb kept telling Dream that life have so much to offer. And he found his purpose over and over agin. This man didn’t give up regardless being immortal. He’s such an interesting character. And I love how his character development change every 100 years. Also the writing sign “New Inn➡️” I felt like Hobb must have done that so Dream know where to go to meet up with him.
Even the music with this is - perfect.
Completely unnecessary. Hob Gadling isn't separated from the Dreaming. Morpheus can find any being that spends time in his domain. Not that Hob knows who his friend is, exactly. Later in the plot (at least in the comic) Morpheus will visit Hob in his dreams, even leaving a gift of a remembered bottle of wine.
@@vitrify way to ruin the fun.
@@vitrify also Hob doesn't know that
@@vitrify tbh that’s pretty gay of him ngl
if Netflix is smart , they can make a spin-off of Hob, where we follow him , and his journey, and at the end of every season,100 years have passed , and the final ep for each season
we meet Morpheus at the bar
Here, take all my money , my house, my cat (ok not the cat) and make this possible, NOW (throws money at the computer screen)
That’s a very good idea
@@flameisbrighter20 even better have the last season of the show start with the scene where Hob accidentally insults Morpheus about being friends and him living a hundred years of anxiety regarding there next meeting
I think you're on to something here.
After first time watching this and seeing that they would grant his immortality, I was expecting that guy to be lonely as shit, because he'd be alone and all that, and can't possibly build a relationship with any other humans he wouldn't reminisce, but boy, I was left wanting for more. I wanted to see 100 years more. Fuckin love this show.
He reappears on the story a couple times :)
He wasn't granted immortality, he just didn't feel like dying any time soon.
@@crpgdungeonsdragonsnight i wonder what means?...like gaining immortality for example...
@@crpgdungeonsdragonsnight yes, i think they meet every a hundred years to check if he still want to live 🥹
He’s not alone he can reminisce with Dream every 100 years
It's not 100% shown in the show but Morpheus has always been very proud. His imprisonment and journey change him a bit- This change is explicitly shown in this scenes. Where Morpheus can finally can Hob a 'friend.'
Yeah, he gains a bit of humanity, he realized he needed to get back to basics and a fresh start
Netflix TV series "The Sandman" is a true masterpiece in modern age.
For me The Sandman and Daredevil are both Netflix gems 💎 I hope season 2 of Sandman will be as amazing, hopefully they don’t deviate from the main story again because I wasn’t crazy about episodes 7-9. Too much of Rose and her friends. I don’t want similar issues next season. If they focus more on Dream, Lucifer and his siblings I will be happier!
@@amarawinchester963 it was canon to the story not filler
@@hrithikbesra8839 some canon things do not translate well. Many people did not like these 3 episodes. There were too many dialogs and scenes that could have been edited out. The story wasn’t the only issue
(In my opinion) It’s by far the best series on Netflix and this is only the first season
@@burningwolf_9641
Netflix original maybe, but not the best series on netflix
"I've always heard it impolite to keep one's friends waiting."

#HobandDreamBFFGoals
This line is so beautiful 💕 excellent episode
They're not friends.
Just read what's you writing , it's bringing tears to my eyes
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
@@Flippy_Nips your right, they're companions 😩
When Morpheus says “it’s impolite to keep one’s friends waiting”, Hob gives a true genuine smile that warms my hearth. This episode is amazing entirely
Amazing how Hob became a history teacher by the end. Love how wholesome this arc is.
Well of course. The guys been alive since the 14th century.
I mean the guy has the first hand-credentials to back up his field.
@@SexLuthor “You know the thing I like best about time, is that every day it takes us further away from the 14th century. I really didn't like the 14th century. You'd have loved it, then.”
@@liza_mandrakeCrowley
And he starts their conversation by saying 'You're late', a little as though he's admonishing one of his pupils at school.
This part of the series tells us that EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIEND even a God, Ancient Beings, Immortals whatever it is ..period
Indeed! Even the Jewish God is said to have called Abraham his friend 🙂 i think companionship is an inherent existential need?
What a weirdly obvious statement.
@@onizeonwukeme2200 Jewish God doesn't need friends, friend is emotional connection to other beings. God is beyond them cuz he created emotions, that means he doesn't have them, but he created love for his beings, so they can feel what he cannot.
@@shadowguy3463 not true. Created man in his image. Whatever we are, he is and more.
@@albertpayne5998 I have readed Bible. More like he created angels in his image, not humans, they are beings of light, like a God, they are spirits, like a God, they don't have material/chemical body, like a God, they don't feel nothing, like a God, they are extremely powerful and can destroy things by supernatural power like a God. Everything that I wrote does not look like "human" at all. We're not spirits, we're meat, we doesn't have even telekinetic power, we are not like God at all, in any way. It is people who came up with their pride, "that they are like a god," it is our emotional nature that wants to elevate us, especially hormones and neurotransmitters.
i cried a lil when they met again
Me too it was like an overdue apology to his best friend/brother.
Same!
I did too. I had already watched the full series, but one of my best friends just passed this last weekend and to watch it again, makes it more meaningful. He had cancer and I was planning to visit him the same day he died, but missed him by a couple of hours before I got the horrific text from his aunt that he was no longer with us. I can only beg he had a peaceful and kind death, like the one from The Sandman.
I smile too when morpheus smile to Hob
Did they last meet in 2022 or somewhere earlier? Where is this based? Current time?
The way Dream, Tom Sturridge, delivered the line “You dare.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Edit: Oops, just a “lazy” mistake. 5th star added a month later after seeing the comments😅. I had notifications turned off.
You're missing one star, this is five star performance
@@jessbelen DENNIS: I'M A FIVE STAR MAN
@@CharlieBrown20XD6 funny, Mr Sandman was playing during the five star man secuence, I love that episode
@@jessbelen DENNIS/DREAM: They kept me locked away for 100 years! Completely disrespected me! Idiots! IDIOTS!
Not sure if they could have found a better actor, he capures perfectly how id imagine dream to be.
love this scene. from when dream sees the building closed, when he see the signs with the slow walk of hope and doubt, Then the look of absolute relief with a little sign of happiness at 3:01.
for someone who shows little emotion he sure showed a lot in this moment.
He was such a drama queen.
He was endless, it would take two seconds for him to find Hob in the Dreaming.
But that's why we love Dream. Because he's a walking emo god boy
@@klaojungwiwattanaporn6927 pretty much
@@klaojungwiwattanaporn6927 He's not an emo. That's just a theme
Trueee. He finally acknowledged the friendship they made. It goes to show that even an aloof person would at least have 1 friend. Even if u only meet once a year. On their case, once every century
@@trison27 that’s every 100 years
This story of episode 6 is by far the greatest. In general episode 6 is the best but this time travel and this friendship deserve a movie! I really like the concept it’s pretty genius!
The episode 5 is also very good. A bit depressing maybe but really good.
6 would not have been as good as it is without 4 and 5.
6 felt like a well deserved cathartic release and rest after literally going through hell in the previous episodes.
@@ktom5262 24/7 was personally my favorite episode. John Dee's characterization in the series was much better than the one in the comics.
Everything in this sequence, Morpheus and Hob's interaction to friendship, is by far my favourite thing in this show. I couldn't stop smiling when Hob is still waiting, hoping that one day Morpheus will come and meet him again, until Morpheus comes back.
Dream : " What Will you have after one hundres years?"
Hob: " You, i'd still have you"
This is just BL in the making
A friend till the end. And once only Destiny and Death are left, Hob will finally be taken to the Sunless Realm
@@yuujin2490 I mean... why not, it isnt like Dream is locked being a man as much as he is locked being caucasian.
The endless are above and beyond those concepts... but at the same time... love is something that runs deeply in them, and even them cant forsake such emotion.
For good and bad... love is what makes and unmakes us.
@@Alacaelum i do not disagree
Dream looks and sounds ethereal... perfect casting in my opinion.
This is the most interesting episode. Just one episode but it feels like many episodes!
At first I thought this episode made a weird choice to combine two completely separate issues together (the Death story and the Hobs story), but thinking back on it they were blended together beautifully. We really see just how much growth Dream has had from before his imprisonment to now. Even Fiddler’s Green acknowledged this (“He told you he was wrong, that’s almost an apology! The Dream I know would have never said that.”).
I'm sure Death is glad her letting Hob lived this long being able to make Morpheus smile this much
Can "The Adventures of Hob" be a spin-off series? I would totally watch that.
Hob will be appearing again :)
@@Sidus666 yeah, I read all the comics years ago, and Hob was one of my favorites. I just love the casting for him, and think his years of adventures could totally work as a series. Perhaps a season for each century?
@@zanleekain117 if it's well written, why not :)
This is actually a good idea
It'd be interesting to occasionally get little cutaways of Death keeping tabs on him, seeing how her brother's experiment is going. Hob can't really interact with Dream directly between their meetings, but maybe he could have some dreams or nightmares involving him during his imprisonment or something. Kind of like Wesley Dodds did in the comics when he became the first vigilante Sandman.
Their eternal friendship started with a challenge. Morpheus has seen the darkest, most cruel and coldest things humanity's life has to offer but Hob showed him that there is more than that, he showed him that such things is what kept humanity going, to be better and determined to reach their highest possible potential
It's awesome and heartwarming. Hob was so excited about stuff that we take for granted: chimneys and handkerchiefs. He is so excited and full of life.
Of all the other stories in the series , his fight with Lucifer and this friendship story with this guy were the most precious and the deepest of all!
Yeah...same with me 👏
Honest Trailer Guy said it best. "A guy you catch up with at a bar once every 100 years, the ideal male friendship."
Dream is sooooo offended its almost laughable except Hob was so heartbroken. What a fantastic episode ALL of it and supreme acting. My favorite episode of all!!
For me, the vignettes with Hob were some of the most touching of the whole series. It brilliantly showed the development of the relationship over an extended time period and Morpheus' gradual realization that it was, in fact, a true friendship - perhaps the only one he's ever really had.
When Mopheus met Hop after 100 years of being captive, I literally cried. Didn’t expect this friendship and really love their relationship..
Out of the 10 episodes, this was my favorite. Seeing them smiling at each other at the end just got me.
If you look at Morpheus's eyes at 1:00, you'll tears forming in them. Hob hit a nerve, and it enraged Dream.
This is what I've loved about Gaiman's writing, you have these powerful and mythical beings, and instead of seeing them live epic action; you just see them just being people, not that different from us.
Wouldn’t go that far. They may have minds and personalities of their own, but I think there are times when it does show that Dream is not human, and has an entirely different way of looking at things.
After how their last meeting ended (the best part was cut out), I really liked how he made sure to emphasize the word "friend". That may have been the first time he ever said that word, let alone used it to refer to someone.
I love how at first you think its Hob that's always changing - his life has been up and down for so many centuries as well as humanity always changing - but then you realize, he's the same. He'll never lose his thirst for life and he'll never seek Death. Who's changed is Dream. He's become more human and accepted his loneliness and need for companionship. For an Endless thats big
I like Hob's reaction after "You dare", he is like "oh shit.."😂
Hob: We’re friends 😊
Dream: Says who? 🤨
Hob: 🥺
What I like so much abt all this is that they clearly chose a good man for immortality. Hob could've gone bad really quickly and stayed that way, but he chose to stay positive and even improve on his good qualities. Not to mention, he didn't go bitter when Morpheus rejected him and waited patiently for him to return 👍👍
The gift of immortality not a cure it how u use it and stay sane
yeah I like how he did realize that investing in the slave trade was terrible and later renounced it. he didn't claim to be a great person just someone that is trying to learn from his mistakes.
@@nubreed13 great thing about immortality is that the more you live the more you become, at least for hob here anyway. I like to think people take immortality in stages, some are more violent and others more peaceful
Hob has had many friends over the centuries. So he can understand that having a being beyond a immortal human having a great deal of pride would muck up things if Hobb poked too much.
This scene really pulled at my heartstrings when Dream finds Hob their knowing he still wants to live and acknowledges him as a friend the smile on both Hob and Dream's faces made me smile
Imagine being human and your friend is literally the embodiment of everyone's collective dreams and the brother of death.
Dream may give off the vibe of being emo and isolated at first, but he's actually soft and fuzzy on the inside. You'll never see him smile more warmly than when he's with the people he most cares about, his sister, lucienne, and hobs. Awwww..
When you don't know your best friend is the Immortal King.
I think the reason Hob isn’t ready to die yet is because the world changes so much as time goes on. He probably won’t get bored until he’s experienced everything.
This was the best episode in my opinion. I watched several times now. The human condition, life, death, heartbreak, happiness, and friendship was beautifully rendered.
You notice dream really care for hob's when he told him to be more careful even though he knew that hob's can't die, he knows that he can still feel pain.
Really good dialogues there, morpheus was already his friend but as an endless he was too proud, but slowly morpheus changed and finally acknowleged that human can be interesting and be more than what he thought at first.
Leaves angry and with tears in his eyes. "Yeah that will prove him wrong"
Dream WAS lonely. Other than his siblings he had no friends. He had siblings, creations, and subjects. The lives of mortals are so short to beings who live for billions of years. Hob was the first mortal he had met who could not die and who owed him nothing so the friendship was pure and organic.
I suppose it is rather poetic that Death gave Dream the gift of friendship.
Beautifully said
Death the equalizer they say
There are other immortals. They aren't all as optimistic as Hob. Mad Hettie the witch is one, and she's sort of what happens when you get so focused on not dying you forget anything else. Most of the immortals are just acquaintances of the Endless who'd received a pass from Death due to their relationship with her or her siblings.
There is one guy who actually beats Hob a thousand times over on being adaptable to immortallity. Dude remembered the taste of mammoth steak. He was the first great hunter and warlord, and was friends with Destruction, the missing Endless. He died as - of all things - an accountant in the 20th century when a being trying to track down Destruction triggered a supernatural boobytrap Destruction set up to prevent being tracked through his acquaintances. Complained about it to Death.
Really interesting, that Dream knows the secret hopes and fears of all humanity, but went so long believing himself above them, that they never really affected him. As though you could sail the ocean forever but never get wet.
I loved how their friendship developed.. it was so beautiful it almost made me cry haha I hope they become best friends in season 2!
Morpheus may be the all-powerful King of Dreams and Dream of the Endless but he's really lonely deep inside that he seeks companionship now, he has found a friend in Hob who shows him the importance of friendship which I really get and understand that and it's what brings me the feels but I really do feel Dream because he's like me, being alone in the world and seeking companionship to make me feel whole and that's the only one thing he doesn't have throughout his life! That scene made me tell myself that "Yes, I should have a friend whom I could share my life, secrets, and stories with so I could feel whole with them and yeah, friendship is the only thing I ever want to have for me". 😭😭😭😭
literally me moment
I'm kinda jealous of him. If I had powers, even I wouldn't have friends cuz you can't really trust them. Even the greatest of friends, love, and family ends up betraying you or lie to you.
Also, he did have a companionship but he ended up jailing her in hell cuz she refused him so yeah.
@@blackgold754 like death called it beat his a little emo boy
@@ZephyrBW true but also I kinda like him lonely because it makes him seem more realistic. He got captured and none of his siblings attempted to rescue him. In fact, they planned it. They tried to kill him too and they’re still trying to do so. So I understand why he’s a emo boy who has to be cautious. I would too.
However, I did not catch death calling him an emo boy haha
@@blackgold754 she Called him suddenly by that. But wait a minute they’re trying to kill him how why would you want to kill dream his family matter mention without dreams there wouldn’t be anything
One thing that I noticed is that he doesn't want riches , fame or any other thing that usually a human wants when he gains immortality he just wanted knowledge, to see more how the world would involve
yeah I like that it's hinted at early on when he decided to leave printing even though it wasn't a big money maker yet.
I wish they would give Hob more time. I feel like, he is Dream's comfort zone, someone who won't judge him just because of his decisions in life and would actually explain things in a much more softer way that Morpheus can understand and he himself will apply it.
My favorite sequence in the entire spectacular series. So pure and timeless. So well done. I hope we see Hob again.
At first their relationship was like a kid reporting to his teacher. In the end they became bros. One of the best stories from the Sandman series.
I loved how Morpheus relaxed as he sat in the chair with a smile that said, have I got a story for you.
I loved this whole part, so imaginative and unique. I had also totally forgotten that Morpheus had been held captive for a long time and got major goosebumps when they zoomed in on the glass and showed him in the cage.
I'd say that at the time of the cut, Morpheus is missing Hob which makes him realize they were indeed friends all along.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD EPISODE.. SO UNIQUE, YET SO RELATABLE.
Always wanted something like this, immortals just coming back to the same place after decades and then acting casually lol.
Best relationship in any series ever made
This scene alone could have been expanded into its own friggin season.. brilliant
Episodes like this one are one of the many things that make The Sandman far more extraordinary than most live action tv series in the past 10 years.
when he said it is impolite to keep a friend waiting i genveinly smiled❤️
I cried so much with this episode. The death segment is just visceral, but it ends with both friends smiling and filled my heart with hope.
Also interesting how Hob's language and mennerism adapted for each century.
See one man go from a Medieval bandit to a sportscar driving late 80s business man is W I L D
This episode, especially the end part when Hob and Dream reunite had me genuinely smiling and I didn't even realise at the time I was. It was perfect
The battle with Lucifer Morningstar aside, this is my favorite part of the entire season. I hope to see more of their friendship.
This was such a good episode, completely out of the blue, and right on the feels of another excellent episode in Ep 4. Death's perfect intro and her beautiful, but difficult job, discarding the "curse of a long life" storyline, but also acknowledging that life has its ups and downs and you just have to deal with them, and of course, the beautiful blossoming friendship between Dream and Hob.
The last scene where they both greet each other as old friends, with a genuine smile on their faces, was so fucking good.
I adore the way Hob says, "I was just an idiot. "
This was one of the best episodes of the series. I expected the guy to be miserable but it was so inspiring to see him push on and be such a good friend to Morpheus. Their friendship was just so adorable ❤️It made me smile wide 😀
This is easily the best episode of Season 1 and probably one of the best episodes of the year so far. Such a brilliant concept so well executed.
Of all episodes in the series, this is my favorite. It's so heartwarming and raw for me. You know we needed at least one person to talk to with anything.
2:20 that moment is everything ❤
inject this whole episode into my veins tbh. it was truly something so unique and beautiful, i haven't seen anything like it
One of the best episodes. Exceptionally well written and brilliantly acted by both.
I feel like these side characters are given introduction in the first season to be fundamental in the 2nd one
I hope so, Hobs is lovely.
If they stick to the comics, which they do in season one, you will not see hob again until maybe the final episode of the series.
@@horozuolanadam7859 iu hope the deter then from the comics a little and give as some more scenes with Hob lol
@@trusttheuniverse9589 tbh me too. He is my favorite character from both the comics and the tv show.
Almost all characters are gonna reappears, this season it just 2 volumes and the whole storie are 12 volumes, there is a lot more of history
They seem really good friends.
I could watch an entire Mini-Series of Hob Gadling and Morpheus/Dream’s Friendship and Interactions because this entire episode was just amazing
friendship 😍 yeah sure we love to see TWO FRIENDS in centuries dates 😍
The best episode... i learn about life by watching this episode...
This was so beautiful. Rarely see friendship portrayed between men.
This episode was one of the greatest things I've ever seen, ngl.
Ben Kingsley's son is HOT. This bromance is awesome!
Hob is played by Ben Kingsleys son??
Didn't know that
@@lilwinchester1417 Yup, Ferdinand Kingsley.
The Sandman is really revolutionizing and redefining storytelling.
Since 1988.
That guy is so charming
You could have a whole show just about the two of them! I hope Hob shows up again :)
Everything about this sequence is perfect...something that you want to keep watching, & savour - especially the joy of true friendship at the end: you barely notice the background music at first, but that, too, is simply perfect 💔
Love their reunion-the smiles are electric!
The sandman is such a tsundere
episodes 4, 5, and 6 are easily the best TV ever written. Absolutely perfect masterpieces.
This is an excellent take on immortality. It really defies the tired trope of “Immortality is boring, what would you have to live for?”
Hob understands. He embodies the insatiable curiosity of the human spirit. He understands that life is not a checklist of things you do while waiting for death, life is inherently beautiful and an end unto itself; you *just keep doing it*.
I remember reading this arc of sandman for the first time. It always stood out to me when I think about sandman anything.
This was defenitely my favourite episode. Interesting concept, great execution and one of rare moments of emotion in an otherwise etherial character.
3:10 the moment he sees him and smiles
I get emotional everytime I see it, Dream realizing Hob was right
and Ian McNiece cameo as the Bartender was wonderful
2:21 i can feel that emotion 🥲 of being surrounded by people but still alone 😔😔
