I wonder if the BRAAD system was actually all three weird events on purpose. Super suspicious cleaner, giant that causes half the cops to fall on him, and a flying bomb to cover it up?

I've been wondering about Jessie's arseholery, specifically in terms of his family's history with soul removal. I'm not familiar with the comics (and I've no interest in doing so, at least while the show is still going) but is it possible that he's such a complete jerk because he's missing a large portion of his soul, rather than just the one percent he thinks he gave up to incapacitate the Saint? I think that'd make a decent reveal, and would motivate the character's inevitable return to his hometown next season.

I have a bad feeling about Denis. If he doesn't go off the rails in this season, then it'll be in a season down the line. They'll return to New Orleans, and Denis will have become a bloodthirsty serial killer vampire lord and Cassidy will have to put him down. Basically the Eccarius story with an old Frenchman instead of an Anne Rice pastiche Dave Syndrome fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Aug 16, 2017 |

How on earth do you look at Preacher the comic and decide you're gonna rework absolutely everything about the plot except the one thing that absolutely needs to stay is Starr getting raped. And if you're gonna do that then why leave out the wacky English sex detectives?

Yeah this is definitely what is going to happen, Cassidy was asked what his son's temperament was as a big deal when considering to turn him or not, and Cassidy keeps telling Denis to only drink when you need to and no more, and Denis is clearly just doing whatever he feels like to excess. Cassidy is going to have to put down his own kid probably.

They lingered on Cassidy telling Dennis not to drink too much, and on Dennis really REALLY liking biting that guy. It seems like that's the plan.

Its an impossible quest. If you're expecting tangible progress every episode this isn't the narrative for you. If you're not floored by Herr Starr this show is never going to satisfy you. Also lol @ "Besides stopping that one impossible villain, what else have they done?" Oh and Jesse has been slowly putting the pieces together about The Grail, who seem to know more about what's going on than he does. So, progress? Sheesh.

I think it's funny that people went from bitching that Season 1 was like a prologue that stayed in one town the whole time, then they complained that it looked like Season 2 was going to speed up and be a road trip/series of mostly unrelated vignettes like the comic, and then it turns out they're going to take their time in New Orleans and goons are still miserable This show is aces and some people just don't like being happy

It's a better show when Jesse and Tulip are not on screen, and that is a problem.

I kinda like them to do a twist with cassidy. Like instead of the inevitable father having to kill his son, have herr starr kill him and almost kill cassidy after jesse agrees to help him. boom instant conflict and the fuel needed to see why cassidy becomes a heel and/or an action hero in the process.

That would be similar to an arc from the comic, too. Oh god, I just realized. Starr already knows who Jesse is. We're never getting Cass trying to pass himself off as Jesse.

Whenever people bring up plot points from the original comics I often have a hard time believing that was in the comics until I remember. Haha. Anyway, wasn't Tulip handing something over to Starr in Season 1 in the cinema? Or am I misremembering things? Season 1, particularly episode 1 seems really weird in retrospect. I wonder if Season 3 will take place in Angelville with Jodie and whatshisname, the fishfucker? Certainly seems like they're going for the one location per seasons shtick that TWD had, too.

By now I've made my peace and actually really like what they're doing with the characters. But one thing I will not get used to is the Saint of Killers with a beard. It just makes him look too soft and cuddly.

I really liked the visitor badges. But yes, I hate to say this about any show, but it needed a more emotional rape scene. I feel it was a 100% nod to comics fans and not meant to matter much in the TV show plot. [quote="Dave Syndrome" post="475390439"] Also, does anyone know who the French professor is? I'm getting a serious Sean Astin / Mark Hamill vibe. Yes, he seemed very familiar. But apparently it's this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915778/?mode=desktop&ref_=m_ft_dsk Really Mark Hamillish in look and voice.
