Preacher - Garth Ennis's incredible comic picked up by AMC

[svalbard]

"He shall know my buttocks as few man has ever have" - Allfather

Spoiler: S03E09 - Schwanzkopf

So, the Messiah turned out to be the original one and not the Allfather. I thought that they were going to go down the line of Allfather making Jesse to release the Genesis and the mix at the end would turned out to be spoiled by something. I'm glad they didn't because the way Allfather went out was legendary.

If Jesse had not stabbed him with that needle, maybe he could have controlled the Voice of God as he claimed in his last words: "I have never felt such power..." before he exploded and showered the room full of entrails.

Oh man, I haven't giggled so hard for a while and I'm glad that Jesse didn't had to literally dive into Allfather backside to get back his soul. But, it leaves the question of what to do with the Messiah as I don't think Jesse for being Christian man, would want to kill willy nilly an innocent person. After all, it's not Messiah's fault that at the end he turned out to be something else than beautiful Jesus.

The other thing that I should have seen was Jesse's and Starr's fight after he returned and complimented Jesse on the results. I wondered earlier about what they were going to do with Herr Starr's scar and put it away at the back of the mind, but when I saw the result, I realised why he had started wearing hats.

Another thing that had bothered me was Herr Starr's need for Jesse to take Messiah's role, but as soon as he explained Allfather "Nuke 'em All" plan I realised why. In fact, in his shoes I would have probably done the same and tried my best to recruit Jesse into the role.

Although Jesse's move to remove Allfather and the Grail from the picture was ballsy, Tulip turning under the overpass proved that she has the biggest balls of whole cast for calling Azrael as Satan's Bitch. There aren't many who play games with the Angel of Death and live to another day. If she hadn't felt something for sending an innocent soul in Hell, she could have managed to brag about being able to steal a case full of souls from the Master of Hell. It would have looked good on her criminal CV.

Cassidy turned out to be a bit of disappointment, because after that first fight with Eccarius he should have gone straight into hunting him down instead of trying to talk his followers to flee. Almost everyone he has met has turned on him. The Children of the Night no different. There is no saviour in his life.

Not even Jesse. In other words, Cassidy is a stranger in the paradise. He has no friends. Not even the old lady.

Here's the question: what is going to happen in the season final now that Jesse has his power back?

That was fairly revolting.

What do you think about the Grail in general?

I think they are preposterous and deliberately so. They are an homage to comic book villains or I suppose to great spy movie villains of the 60s and 70s. I think Blofeld was mentioned earlier. But I do love Herr Starr and his team.

Overall I think the characters are really well drawn in the series and the cast is excellent.

Finished Season 3. This was really good, an improvement on S2, which was slightly disappointing after the brilliant first season. Although S2 was still better than a lot of shows on at the moment.

The good to thing about catching up on old series is that you don't have to wait for the new season so looking forward to S4 over the next the few weeks.

Loads to look forward to especially the budding partnership of Eugene and The Saint of Killers.

especially the budding partnership of Eugene and The Saint of Killers.

I wouldn't call it a partnership. Eugene doesn't want to be in it, and the Saint, well... you'll see.

What do you think about the Dog (costume)?
