Preacher - 2016 Season 1 - Spoilers

This show is exactly the kind of thing I love. I never know what in the hell (heh) will happen next! I feel a little proud of myself because right at the end of the first flashback series when the storm was rolling in, I said "I wonder if this is hell, and he's just reliving it over and over". My wife scoffed... right! For once! Hah! I think personally that this really happened, or at least some semblance of it really happened, and that's why he has to relive it.

Emily was watching that movie on TV talking about how people are born to be a certain way, etc. and I guess she just decided she didn't want to do that anymore, and decided to make a clean break of things... and how handy to have a hungry vampire in the next room to help her out!

Donnie's hearing is still not right: in the scene with Quincannon he couldn't hear what Quincannon was saying clearly. Don't know if it's permanent or not.

 

Guinea Pigs. She had submitted the rabbit earlier.

There was a scene this episode in the office where he couldn't hear Quincannon. It confused me because I had forgotten about his deafness.

She had already been seen by someone else; shooting her with his own gun or cutting her throat and getting splattered would be a serious problem for the sheriff.

Pretty sure it's the angelic nature of the hands that's important, not their chirality. In any case they could always go back for more.

I suspect that in this universe, all angels are dicks. Somehow I don't think the Cowboy will succeed, given the title of the show.

See your previous comment for the answer to this. They don't have any motive for rescuing *******.

I don't care how angry you are Cowboy dude. Don't shoot the whores.

 

I'm not sure which reality is hell?

 

Took me two episodes to get into this.. now im hooked. Great show.

 

This. It felt like Psycho, with Anthony Perkins talking about everyone being in their own trap (a movie I've not yet seen, so maybe not?). I believe Emily had a realization that her trap was ending up with the mayor, which she eventually described as "cool" to Tulip, while not really even convincing herself.

I had 3-4 episodes of this series stacked up on my TiVo, and just got done binging. It's a good show that keeps my attention, with continual (but subtle?) WTF factor built in.

 

Well, technically, she really didn't murder the guy. It was the vampire.

 

"Technically it wasn't he who killed him, nor the gun. It was that bullet that actually was the murderer." No, I don't think so.

Besides which, the vampire (a) was in a mental state unable to form intent and therefor unable to commit the crime of murder, and (b) had no soul and hence unable to commit the sin of murder.

 

Well, Cassidy needed fed and she didn't want to kill the guinea pigs. So what else was she going to do?

 

Too bad she couldn't lure Quincannon or Donnie.

 

Damn, I have no idea what to say. That was... off the wall.

Are we to think all that made it out of Annville is Cowboy and Seraph (Susan)? Though perhaps those killed at the hand of Cowboy are permanently dead (DeBlanc and Seraph). I would guess Fiore survived if he was still around.

No idea where they are going to go with this next year. I'm looking forward to re-watching S1 as a marathon before S2 starts next year.

 

I was actually thinking he should get 2 lefts (or rights), one of them is a demon after all, right? Maybe his hand doesn't work.

 

In many ways, the TV show has now gotten to the point where the comic book started. In the comic book, before the first issue Genesis hit Jesse; the trauma of the event destroyed the church and killed the entire congregation; Jesse's faith was shaken; and Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy decided to go on a road trip to track down God and make him answer for himself.

The Sheriff and Quincannon were minor characters, who were each around for one story (at different points in the narrative).

The back-story for Jesse and Tulip was completely different (not them as a couple, although that was somewhat different, but their earlier lives separately).

There is almost nothing that happened in the TV show that also happened in the comic book, and yet it has mostly managed to maintain the look-and-feel and the spirit (cough) of the comic.

There are, however, a lot of truly gonzo elements of the comic that have not made it into the show. If you think this is crazy, you should read the comic!

It will be interesting to see how they handle the Saint of Killers (the cowboy who finally shows up in Annville at the end of the finalé).

 

LOL. Would make for a quick resolution to that plot line. Perhaps Fiore advised him to wear earplugs. You know, for Genesis and that big honkin' .45.

 

There was a final shot of the season, of Fiore getting dropped back off from the airport shuttle, and his travel chest was still there on the pavement.

DeBlanc wasn't with him, so we don't know whether Cowboy dishes out Angel perma-death or not.

However, it's definitely true that none of Annville's citizens survived: they're all dead. I find that really poignant, with all those scenes of how people reacted to losing their faith, at whatever level they had it... and then bam, they're all dead anyway.
