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

[REBerg]

Spoiler

The manual Tulip was reading at the apartment before she got shot claimed to aimed for soul extraction. His soul is connected to the saint-of-killer and it was specially marked to be in single digits. And Starr said: "When you're ready come back for your soul," just before Jesse head off to save Tulip. Maybe Genesis needs his soul intact to be able work perfectly.

Spoiler

Genesis still worked after Jesse gave the Saint of Killers some of his soul. Herr Star asked Jesse why he didn't use he power against the thugs in the classroom, so he is also in the dark.
When did Starr extract more or all of Jesse's soul, or did he recover Jesse's partial soul from the Saint? That might explain why Genesis no longer worked when the cowboy returned.

So you believe him and didn't think nothing about the whole setup? Starr lied about the blanks and probably the origin of those terrorists. So why not rest as well?

I don't know.

I think Star wanted to record Jesse using the power of Genesis to promote his rise as the new Messiah. He seemed honestly interested in finding out why that didn't happen.
Maybe TSOK self-extracted Jesse's partial soul while imprisoned in the truck. Star might have acquired it after setting the killer cowboy free.
The Saint must have been motivated. He didn't get his expected ticket to Heaven by getting soulful, but he did lose his Genesis immunity.
I guess he should have read the possible side-effects on the bottle before making his decision.

I haven't watched the last episode (13) yet but have found most of the story really poor this season. It started quite well but the Hell storyline is mostly boring nonsense. The end of the Saint of Killers story was developing well but finished with an awful anticlimax. Though season 1 ended quite weakly too. The strength of the series, other than being odd, is the 3 main actors and the characters they play. They make the series cool and fun. The far too frequent scenes without them such as with Herr whatshisface or set in Hell are generally poor. The search for God was getting dull too. Ruth Negga should probably leave this show behind after series 3 for her own good. If the main characters were roaming from place to place, meeting odd sorts on the way, it would probably me more fun. Well, hopefully the finale will be interesting.

Well, they sold this season as a road trip, but all they got was a show in New Orleans. They should have chased God over bible country and far beyond instead of getting stuck on a stage show. They also lost the funny element by killing off the angels and believing that Herr Starr was enough. But to be honest I don't know how to fix this as this series is full of weird. And speculative fiction. It breaks boundaries and norms.

Perfect trailer for the show. Hitler got a job at Starbucks?

Seems like a good fit.

A little bit of propaganda. I've also been reading their magazine article, and it seems that the showrunners have been reading some our comments, as they're dedicated to bring back the fun of the first series back on the small screen. Of course I cannot say that for the sure, but if they go back and make the violence as unbelievable as it was in the first season I'm all in.

Preacher Season 3 premieres on AMC on 24 June in the US and on Amazon Prime on 25 June in the UK.

Spoiler: S03E01 - Angelville

Family is the worst. I think Jesse should have learned from New Orland trip that when it comes to those closest to you, they're the ones you should avoid. Especially if you have Genesis in your chest and a grumpy Irish vampire out of whisky. Seeing how Jesse's mum went down in Grandma's hand certainly made him the last person I would have gone to see in the emergency.

Ms Maureen is just like the grandma from the Psycho. Except she's three times more creepy. And alive with the miracle of modern medicine. God only knows what else went down with her back in the days. To my eyes, the councillor was possessed by an demonic entity and she somehow managed to rebel that sin. Is her genetics the reason why the Genesis chose Jesse as the hiding place?

In certain ways Grandma and Jesse are the same. They are both ruthless. Yet Jesse's the one who on losing side. What does he really know? Nothing. He is just a Preacher without a connection to the God Almighty. Grandmother however has all sorts of connections.

How can she access the purgatory without being connected to the celestial things?

I laughed out loud when she made Jesse to eat a Ghost Pepper and not spit it out. It's just when she finally allowed him to do the deed, the way she collected the spittle greeped me out. Does she eat all sorts of things to gain power?

What did she do to Jodie to make him so powerful, invulnerable?

Why God made Tulip the Chosen One? Chosen to do what?

 

[REBerg]

Like the very start of the series, the start of the new season was a puzzler.

Spoiler

Jesse's mother was killed by his super-creepy grandma (is that really Eight is Enough's Betty Buckley? -- Yikes!); and his father was killed by the highly personable Jody. Yeah, definitely a family that would have some awkward moments around a holiday dinner table.
Was granny successful in breaking Tulip out of the waiting room of Purgatory and bringing her back to the world of the living, or was it God/Dog's decision to make her the mysterious "chosen one" that got her sprung? Either way, Granny is going to be expecting repayment, and it's going to be nasty./SPOILER]

It's even more ackward on having a Irish vampire as a guest. That amount of booze and smoke you think you might need is not going to be near enough. And then, at the end of the evening, Grandmum eats the leftovers bodily fluids ... things. I don't know how I would even start explaining it to someone else. LOL.

Mondo has teamed with AMC and artist Rory Kurtz to make two stunning statues from Preacher. The first is of Jesse, played by Dominic Cooper; the second is of Cassidy, played by Joseph Gilgun. Conspicuous by her absence is Tulip, played by Ruth Negga—however, Mondo’s press release says this series “starts” with Jesse and Cassidy. Rumor has it, she’ll be in a second wave if these do well.

Spoiler: S03E02 - Sonsofbitches

So God gave Tulip a mission to kill Herr Starr's people ... and probably all that has been pissing him off lately. But God doesn't seem to be as powerful as Jesse's Granma, who managed to almost choke our anti-hero to his death. I don't know what would happen if the host for the Genesis would die other then the mess it would leave behind would be horrible to clean up.

Speaking of which I assume that Jesse's Grandmum was in the Texas area, but seeing those alligator being the preferred cleaning method after Judy's sluicer, I've started to believe that maybe the house is somewhere near Louisiana's swamps. I don't know how Tulip didn't threw up when she learned that Cassidy had been feeding her Judy's special juices.

The thing that really bothers me, even though it has been addressed by Cassidy's fixation to umbrellas and heavy clothing is that when the sunlight hits his skin, he doesn't even cinder and smoke. Yet, when he's indoors, he avoids standing in the direct path of visible sunlight. I believe if Jesse would want to act on Cassidy stealing his girlfriend, he wouldn't even need back his soul as there are so many rather comical ways of making the umbrellas to disappear. A strong acid trap is one of them, and it would totally fit the unbelievable action scenes.

I loved seeing Herr Starr taking out the competition in the fellow Hare Chrisna organisation. It has to be the funniest action scene in this summer. I, for one, cannot think from winter series anything other then a few fights from the brilliant and funny Lethal weapon that even come close to the magnificience action they put down in that scene. Kicking the guru in balls was a classic .

If The Grail manages to wipe out most of the competition will Jesse's Granma be one of the last standing in line between them and the ultimate tyranny in the religion? I believe with her powers she's going to be one hardest opponents for Herr Starr to clear out. I also believe that eventually he has no choice but to provide Jesse his soul back.

Will we see Arseface and Hitler soon?

That fight scene was dark humor at its best. Accompaniment by the Youngbloods' "Get Together" as the body count mounted added to the hilarity. It reminded me of some of the fight scenes from the first Kickass, which also seasoned slaughters with cheery music.
Herr Starr's final comment after he shot the guru cracked me up: "Profanity in a house of worship? No wonder God left[." This, after the Hare Krishna faithful pulled automatic weapons from under their yoga mats to return fire.

He must most memorable villain from this decade. And the funniest. I thought for a second 'here we again' when Jesse told him to eat his mansausage. I was expecting something else to happen in the way of stuffing his rear full of film, but I was glad it didn't happen.
