New Preacher TV series

[Blue Meanie]

I just want to thank the series for helping me sell my 9.4 CGC graded #1 last night on Ebay...Thanks HUGE difference between a raw copy and a graded one.

Seriously though...I've only gotten up to Episode 3 and haven't had the chance to catch up. I will probably be doing that soon.

Yeah, it really needs the humour. Quincannon's chat to the troops following "Drink lots of water" was hilarious. I had the captions on and it kept going and going as that fellow was walking to the trunk of his car.
I totally missed the dead cow in Quincannon's office after his experiment during my first viewing (I am getting really desensitised as I get older).
I thought Tulip called the dog by the same name from the shelter that is why I thought it was an odd switch (if it happened at all)?
I read Garth Ennis' "The Boys" from start to finish and his work can get nasty mean even with the black humour. It is a fine line for me, but I am really enjoying so far.

I had some White Russians a few weeks back and re-watched the Big Lebowski and I liked it a little more than the first time. I checked out some comments from fans on IMDB and yes, overrated by some folks (IMHO).

As a native New Mexican who grew up in Albuquerque, I have been enjoying the view of the Sandia mountains from Jesse's church. The penultimate episode for this season really had me laughing tho. The bus that picks up the angels on their trip to hell stopped right around the corner from my mom's house and then turned up her street as they made their way to the netherworld. Growing up, I had always suspected that I lived near the road to hell. Now I know it is true.

This show has been great so far.

I caught up last night.

SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT SEEN THE FINALE

So... all these minor characters that we have been invested in this season-- the sheriff, the organist and her kids, Donnie and his kinky wife, etc.-- all of them won't be back?

That was also the spot that Walter White was picked up from in Breaking Bad.

That's my understanding, which saddens me some as I enjoyed some of those characters.

Do they leave Eugene in hell ?

Been marinating with that finale for a little longer now...

MORE SPOILERS, MORE PROBLEMS

Wow, that is bleak.

Jesse wanted to save the town. And basically, as a result of his actions, he doomed them all. Sure, Quincannon was kind of a bad guy-- but the whole backstory with his wife and kids, I could not completely fault him. With the exception of the pedophile bus driver, none of them seemed any worse than Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy. We are really in the same point as the start of the season-- Preacher says "open your heart" and the guy opens it with a knife. None of it really mattered in the end... all he did was make it worse.

That is some dark, dark stuff there.

What a wonderful anecdote! Hahahahaha

Yup! So far it basically seems like Candide on crack, and I wonder how many times it will take Jesse to learn the same lesson in the next season. (And hopefully seasons.)

Jesse is interesting, because when we start off with him he already knows about how dark the world is (unlike Candide), but it maybe seems like he's forcfully trying to make his world view more naive? Even the way Cooper plays him - he seems to have this worn out exterior with this inner level child-like spark. You know what I mean?

I also think it's interesting that this universe is so crazy dark and bleak, but I actually find myself caring for a lot of the characters. I think the show does have emotional depth, but yeah, I also agree with you about the end. I'm really looking forward to seeing where they take this, and see if they can sustain that tiny bit of balance along with that dark view of morality.
