Hoover got off lucky considering in the comic, Jesse orders him to count every grain of sand on some beach. I was legit shocked when the Grail showed up and wiped out the entire vampire coven. Glad the old lady and her goon vampire son survived at least.

Hoover should have just carried an umbrella instead of unintentionally provoking Starr with an umbrella styled hat after Jesse had him Genesis'd into being unable to wear hats anymore.

Also random tidbit, Eccarius is played by the guy who voiced Ignis in FFXV. Looks like he became a new recipeh.

If the show can keep doing things like showing a helicopter dumping an entire house in the river while tracksuit-clad Jesuses wander around confusedly, I'm in for another season.

Again some very direct line drops from the comic. I kept saying Jodie's lines just before he did.

Hitler recruiting a bunch of alt-right MAGA losers to be his new SS stormtroopers ("then why are you wearing a luftwaffe medal?") was just perfect. I do wish they had the budget to not immediately pan away the moment the battle started.

Still, the last 2/3 of this season was a vast improvement, and I definitely hope there is at least a season 4.

Pure Hoover, though. He should have joined the other vampires instead of staying loyal to an organization that didn't appreciate him. Come to think it, why did Starr send him into the vampire house if he didn't realize he was a vampire himself?

Sure, but why did Starr think the vampires would welcome Hoover if he didn't know that he joined them earlier? I guess he just didn't give a poo poo if Hoover was torn apart by angry vampires.

Starr does not micromanage. He tells you to do a thing, he expects you to do it, he MIGHT even remember your name after he tells you to do it, maybe.

Hoover is really incompetent though. Its in-character for him to be oblivious to Starr.

Oh goddamn THANK YOU, it was driving me nuts. I should have known though because he's using the exact same voice in the game as in the show. I suspect that dude has done a metric fuckton of VA work, and if he hasn't, he should, because his voice is amaaaaaaaaazing. :swoon:

I love how they had Cass end the situation without compromising his slight moral compass. Because of the penultimate episode I was actually betting that the granny was a vampire and had been the whole time, and that's why she was putting up with it. Still a great twist.

Other video game lore, Tulip is the Emerald Herald in Dark Souls 2.


I personally love how this shows been going since the beginning, but I don't see it going much farther than the next season. Although I still hope for a spin-off show of Herr Starr and Cass running a hat boutique.

Man this season was so much better than last year's, I really hope there is a season 4.

I assume the big climax of that would be War in the Sun/The US Military vs. The Saint of Killers which I have been desperate to see since the show first started.

Same. When the nazi tank showed up, I thought they were going to truncate the beats from the War in the Sun storyline and have the nazis take the place of the Grail commandos. I'm glad that it looks like they're still planning on leading to that storyline with the shot of the Masada base.

Season was great, but they totally hosed up when Jesse finally got to see Starr's head. "Dickhead by sight and dickhead by goddamn nature" is a way better line than "your head looks like a penis."

Yeah, the fight with Jody was actually pretty close to the comics with some of the actual dialogue ("Kinda different", "Proud of you boy"). It was a big moment in the books that he beat Jody without the word.

"Burn, you fuckers" was for the rest of the crew. Jody caught fire and jumped into water, then the fight happened.

How could she trade her soul for Jesse's when she didn't own Jesse's to trade? Did she go to hell anyway? Heaven? Does Jesse have her soul in a jar? How can souls burn anyway? Why are the parts of this show that weren't in the comic so loving bad?

When Jesse made the deal with her, if he reneged then his soul would belong to her, which basically put ownership of it into her temporary possession even if it was still "in" him. When she found out he had Genesis, she made a deal with the devil to pass over possession of the soul to him, though it was only to be collected upon Jesse's death if (and only if, as far as I can tell) Jesse killed her. Basically so she could hold that over Jesse and ensure she stayed alive when he returned fully powered up again. It's not particularly fair, since the Devil gets his soul by proxy, but that's why you don't gamble with your soul I guess!

What she didn't expect was that he'd decide,"gently caress it" and kill her anyway and live with the consequences. Plus of course now Satan is dead and Hitler has his hands on the soul contract, and I guess it depends on whether the soul is considered in the possession of literally Satan or just "Hell" in general.

So Hitler died and went to Hell, but when he leaves Hell he's alive again? I get Eugene because he never actually died he just got zapped there by Genesis.
