That was some of the fakest looking CG blood I've ever seen in my life, and for what? It would be so easy to shoot that scene with real fake-blood. Nothing happens but some blood drips on the carpet! Also showing people eating pancakes makes me want pancakes!  These are my complaints otherwise drat that was cool E: loving Dick Cheney

I'm not quite settled yet on how I feel about using the comics as diegetic elements in the actual episode, but I think I love it

They get away with it here easily since its not Jesse, its the Saint. Seeing Mullet-Jesse wouldn't work, nor white Tulip.

That was stellar. I'll also stand by what I said earlier, the Saint killing so many characters was absolutely necessary for this to work as well as it did.

My Lovely Horse posted:Ennis' fixation on Ireland, World War II and Vietnam is a lot more powerful than his fixation on rape, if you ask me. LTTP but Ennis fixation on Ireland is pretty understandable given, yknow..He's from Ulster. A lot of Preacher is his weird, hosed up love letter to America and the experience of emmigrating there.

So uh... what was the plan at the end there exactly? If the Saint has a soul he'll just suffocate and end up in hell, right? I thought Jesse was about to tell him to go to hell like Eugene and then decided to drive him to Angelville instead to maybe get his soul back... but... then he just dumps him in the swamp. Is the Saint supposed to still be immortal even with Jesse's soul, I guess?

Jesse didn't dare send him to hell because he probably didn't want to risk even a part of his own soul ending up there. Not sure how clever it was to lock the Saint away in what is essentially a vault full of liquid souls.

Now, now, I'm sure a wealthy, technologically cutting edge Japanese crime syndicate is just going to forgive and forget and definitely not go looking for their van full of souls worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But yeah, between that and hiding the Saint's guns beneath his toilet the writers are basically hanging a flashing red sign up saying "We're putting the Saint out of commission for a few episodes to give the plot some breathing room, but Jessie is an idiot and this is totally gonna come back to bite him in the rear end."

He's a consummate schemer who is able to outwit an actual supernatural being bent on his murder—and at the same time he's so thoughtless that the best idea he has for getting away once he's collared the beast is to padlock the van and kick it into a swamp E: I honestly thought for a few minutes in there that he would actually manage to engineer a truce with the loving Saint, god drat imagine going off at that angle from the comics' story

Use Genesis to send the Saint to a thousand years in the future. Or Mars. Or an alternate universe. You dumb, Jesse.

I'm interested to know why exactly the Saint wants to enter heaven if that's the case. Does he actually want to reunite with his family, or possibly, wipe heaven out completely if he knows that God is missing? It makes a great excuse for Jessi even with his convictions to not allow it. Also to the poster that said "send him to mars", going really literal you could imagine the Saint just barging through NASA and making it happen. He then begins shooting at the red surface until it's thrown out of orbit or some poo poo.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Teleport him there like you teleported Eugene to Hell", but the visuals on this are far, far better.

He wouldn't need oxygen or life support, just a rocket strong enough to get him to Mars and crash land him into it. Pretty sure Elon Musk would play himself. I am kind of perplexed about why the SoK's bullet stopped in the yogurt, though. Best I can guess is that the bullets keep going until they hit something organic/living that they can kill, hence the yogurt's boiling, killing off all the bacteria inside.

I just thought it stopped there. It was weird that something so soft would finally bring it to a stop. That wouldn't really work though, because in the first episode one of his bullets was stopped by the car frame. Maybe he was aiming for the car?

For some reason I assumed the bullet killed all the occupants of the other apartments it went through, but we never saw that, did we? And I guess the yoghurt is simply boiling because the bullet is hot.

Well, as I recall, any wound inflicted by the SoK's Walker Colts is lethal, and the rounds even went through tank armor in the comics, so 1800s masonry should be no problem. The one thing that seems they left out from the comics is that whenever he fires at a target, he hits his mark. Also, and I had to look this one up, they left out the part where if someone other than the SoK lays a hand on the Walkers, they see the 'mutilated spirits of the victims of the SoK.' I like my "the bullets keep going until they hit something they can kill" (ideally a tree or something) theory. I'm gonna keep it.

Great episode. My guess is this is only temporary because the Saint is locked in there with all the gear - including the soul extractor.

Tiggum posted:I wouldn't expect him to be able to do any of that. Other than "go to hell", every command has been something the person has to try to do but not necessarily something they can achieve. Like, if he tells you to flap your arms and fly, you'll try, but you'll fail. If he tells you to go to Mars, you'll attempt it but only in whatever way makes sense to you. This reminds me of one of my favorite bits from season one. He uses the Word to tell Cassidy to "sing me some Johnny cash", so Cassidy - who doesn't know any Johnny Cash songs - sings,"♪ Me some Johnny Cash! ♪"
