I missed season 3. I tried to look it up on the AMC app, and I logged in with my tv provider, but there are no episodes, only extras.

Clearly the important question is not how Cass managed to grow his dick back god knows how many times, but if there are any foreskins on the ones he regrows. Don't want the Grail using them to make any lotion.

So I noticed that the ADR in these first few episodes has been dreadful. Dunno about anybody else. And also that 'the middle east' looks suspiciously like 'we filmed out bush in Australia for a couple weeks'. But I can't really hate on that since filming it in Victoria gave Lauchy Hume some work cutting off Cass' dick for 3/4 episodes straight.

It's really interesting how they're adapting the source material. They basically throw in a side character here and there and immediately abandon them but turn some characters/scenes/concepts up to 11 or 12. I'm not hating it but it feels a little incoherent and not as epic as the comics.I do am loving how almost every character is acting like a moody teenager.

The pacing of this show is some of the worst if you're a comic reader and I can't imagine what it's like without the comic-reading perspective. But that's the only bad thing I can say about the show. Everything else is spectacular and I love it. This week's episode had a fight scene that was like 3 fight scenes in one. It was amazing. The 2 dimensional, 3-split hallway part was peak art. Whatever this director ends up doing, I hope it's even half as cool as Preacher has ended up. I'm deeply saddened the show had to end this season (if it wasn't, DeSade would've ended up in at least 5 episodes) but I'm excited to see what these writers come up with for their ending!

What kinda pacing stuff do you mean? The constant time jumps and the false start of episode 1 where everyone just ended up at square one at the end again? But yeah something feels off about everything. Cancellation would explain why they’re cramming everything in as fast as possible. It’s a shame because it’s a really rich world if you let it. Edit: I’m wondering where this “Jesse tries to do good but fucks up” will lead. Also holy gently caress that’s an entirely different direction that letter to Tulip went  Also did I miss something or was Jesus de Sade’s hideout just a kinky sex club and not actually bad? The tv series feels more and more like “so the comics were what the characters imagined themselves as and now we’re showing you how they’re just full of poo poo” Zwille fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Oh yeah I get it. Yup, I mostly get a kick out of it for recognizing characters/storylines but it’s all very much jumbled together and feels a lot like they know they won’t get the time or money to give the story justice (or they just don’t care) and they just want to hit all the stops so it’ll at least please fans.

Caught up and it does feel like they're working hard to cram as much in as possible knowing this is the last season. Also, MIDDLE EAST was so clearly not the Middle East it was kinda hilarious. The fight scene was fantastic, and I really enjoyed Cassidy's origin. I hope we get backstory on the angel soon (I know what it is in the comics, just curious whether they'll go the same route for the show).

I believe he showed up during season 3 when Jesse is having the flashback/hallucination while in the underwater coffin?

Davros1 posted:Well, you've got your answer Yep, they blocked out TC's pecker last season, but I guess the rules of censoring public nudity on TV don't apply when dicks are either being ground up to make lotion or to be reused as a makeshift ear for the leader of a death cult Christian Illuminati. Though seriously Jesse, shoulda sent that poor guy to Heaven like you sent Eugene to Hell. And I have to say, I thought we'd be spending a lot more time at the Grail hideout, but Cassidy and Tulip are out, and going by the credit previews, going to rob a bank with Jesus. This is the fastest paced this show has ever fuckin been.

I don't know if I misheard, but did the cop who busted Eugene at the glory hole identify himself as 'Sex Police?' I was worried that it would be the start of that terrible storyline so I was relieved see him catch one in the head. Maybe just an easter egg for the comic readers like Jesus De Sade.

Why doesn't Starr just wear a normal prosthetic ear? It seems like a prosthetic and some minor cosmetic surgery would basically fix all his problems.

Because it's not as hilarious I guess. Also the timeline has me confused. When was the whole God and Starr scene supposed to happen? After or before? Because earless Starr has happened after the Tulip shootout but he's also earless again after flicking through the dossier. What. Also Jesus and his son is weird. Isn't the Child supposed to be Jesus? And haven't they lost him? Or did they clone Jesus' legitimate son but lost the original and have a tap-danc.... oooooh I get that joke now! Anyway they have a tap-dancing copy but it's not the real thing which is why they're keeping it from Him? Appreciated Chekov's rear end-Gun but it's getting ridiculous how they're circling back to Masada again and again. Cassidy already freed himself before so why do that again? Bet you could shuffle the episodes and not notice any difference. Such a shame about the hosed up story in general but at least they're trying their best to be as edgy and dumb as possible. Could've been much, much worse. Once it's over I'll definitely give it a rewatch if it pops up on Netflix when I'm down with a cold or something.

Anyway they have a tap-dancing copy but it's not the real thing which is why they're keeping it from Him? At the end of last season Jesse released all the Humperdoo clones along with the original. We've seen that the Grail soldiers are hunting down the clones and identifying them by their inability to dance. We've seen that Starr has been refusing to let anyone meet Humperdoo. I don't think we know if he's actually found Humperdoo yet or not. The one he has may be a clone they're keeping for emergencies, or maybe they recovered the original off-screen.

Humperdoo (the tap dancing one) is the descendant of Jesus, while the Jesus in this episode is implied to be the actual Jesus, visiting from heaven. Of course, that makes you wonder why they don't just have real Jesus act as the savior, instead of his inbred incompetent son. The Grail being in direct contact with God and Heaven kinda undermines their whole thing. Why spend all this time breeding a savior when you can just call God and ask him to send someone? I still enjoy the show, but the plotlines seem increasingly contrived. SimonChris fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Aug 20, 2019 |

Thanks for clarifying! Ok, kind of makes sense but then again not. Yeah, it’s needlessly complicated compared to the comics where the main thing was having Jesse as the Savior but him wanting to kick God’s rear end. Fingers crossed they give the backstories spin-offs. They really hit the nail on the head with Jody and TC and did a decent job re-interpreting Jesse’s childhood.

I’m kind of disappointed considering the really strong prior season and a half. Seems like everything is really rushed (understandably so) but it’s making for a confusing experience

I gotta say though, the dinosaur animation bit with God enjoying his creation and then freaking out at the dino eating poo poo was hilarious. Especially when the dinosaur realizes death is coming and chooses in its last seconds alive to panic-eat as much poo poo as it possibly can

They’re kinda downplaying the addiction stuff a bit so I’m curious how it pans out in the series. I‘ll be watching it with the comics in mind so it’s gonna be a weird episode for me if they make it a legit happy ending
