Renewed for a season 2. WOO HOO http://io9.gizmodo.com/preacher-will-return-for-season-two-with-13-total-episo-1782829868
I'm confused as to whether or not Jesse knows Cass is a vampire. I know he told him, but I'm not sure if he believed him or just brushed it off. Also, I'm not sure what the point of this season is, I read a little about the comic and it seems cool if that's what it's leading to but is a whole season necessary to get there? I'm still enjoying it, but the angel stuff is much more interesting than the stuff with the town. I thought after the beginning of this last episode it was going to really get going, but then just kinda fizzled out.
So much easily the best episode yet. I was laughing my ass off during that opening battle. So curious where the Go To Hell thing is going to go because that is not from the comics (big surprise since, you know, nothing in this show is from the comics)
I think they're trying to show him as a believer before he gets everything taken away. I agree, they don't need a whole season for that. I'm worried they don't even intend on going there. I don't think Jesse believes he's a real life vampire at this point, could be wrong.
So far I think there's been a mixed bag of it doing a really good job of drip-feeding information while keeping it entertaining along the way (Cassidy, Tulip, the angels and heaven), and it dragging its heels and basically repeating itself at times (the town in general apart from Odin, Jesse and Tulip's relationship, probably Jesse in general come to think of it).
Definitely the best ep so far. The whole intro was great. We finally got some mythos, and the action scene was awesome and hilarious. I liked all the character interactions and what the ep finally culminated in.
Some seriously funny moments this episode. Emily and Cass on the porch, and the dinner party specifically. Cass covering everything in ketchup was great. Also super glad they mentioned John Wayne finally. This is a really weird side of Jesse. Big complaint this episode is after those incredible Vietnam scenes in the comics to have Jesse's dad be some preacher racist now is just asinine.
I guess it would've been hard for them logistically to have it so that Jesse's dad was still a GI in Vietnam, seeing as there's another 20 years added on now from when the comics were released and set. It does potentially have a pretty big knock-on effect with other stuff being changed as well though, whether that ends up being a good or bad thing.
Tulip is worth the price of admission alone, but Jesse kinda sucks. It is kind of slow and it's incredible how much doesn't happen from week to week.
I totally forgot about this after they took the week off after the premiere, might have to do lotssssss of catching up
I love that last episode builds up to a cliffhanger and then when this week's episode began, when they started to invade the church it was so underwhelming when the preacher just kicked all of their asses. I'm enjoying this show but my friend told me the comic was about the preacher's effort to find God in person? You think the show will get to that or go a different way
was reading preacher vol 2 today on the subway and some old man started yelling at me saying how disgraceful it is for somewhere to wear that uniform and smoke cigarettes. Gotta love being yelled at by random old people for reading a comic.
This show is no doubt a slow burn and definitely better to binge watch rather than watching week to week. This past episode just....ended, and I just wanted to put on another. I really wasn't satisfied. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the show and the characters a lot. It's just....something needs to happen and maybe explain things a bit better?
Reading the comic has really put into perspective how slow paced the show is. More happens in the first 2 issues than this entire season. I get the sense this whole season is really just introducing us to the characters, then hopefully next season we kick things into high gear. I think they have the tone locked down perfectly, they just need to get the ball rolling.
