Various elements of the episode will be discussed in this review, so beware spoilers. And watch the episode bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e you read on, lest you face the wrath of the almighty. Or Cassidy…###Bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e we start the episode review proper, in case you missed the news, Preacher has been renewed! A 13-episode second season will be on screens next year.###The prologue began back in the post Civil War era, where Graham McTavish's Cowboy (he's still not the Saint Of Killers yet) arrived in Ratwater to buy medicine in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his daughter. Naturally, it does not go well, leading to him beaten up and having his horse shot out from under him. If there's one issue we possess’own’nurse (besides the poor horse), it's that this guy feels like he already could possess’own’nurse become the Saint, without the lashings of brutal and then tragic backstory. It's still chilling to see him strap on his guns and prepare to head out, despite’in spite of’albeit .###Fully embracing his newfound power (if not utterly understanding the ramifications of it) works wonders in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Jesse Custer this week – he's less dour, more confident and comes alive as he starts using, or rather misusing the ability to turn individual to his will. Lucy Griffiths' Emily is sidelined a little once again, but she does at least acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure in a few rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent shots, questioning (rightly, as it will later turn out) Jesse's interaction with Odin Quincannon last week. Through her and others, the episode delves into how individual perceive Jesse. Some know of his dodgy past (hilarious conjured up by a frustrated Tulip, who spins a yarn involving a Komodo dragon). There's relief to be had at the end in/with regard to’concerning’regarding individual frustrated with regards to’concerning’with respect to Jesse's lack of knowledge as Fiore and DeBlanc eventually’ultimately decide to go to him directly, which you rather claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate angels would possess’own’nurse done in the first place. Talking of…###A lot of their material this week is the comic one-act (strictly two) play of the angels deciding what to say to their bosses upstairs in heaven now that the phone is ringing. It's intriguing to learn that Fiore is seen as the sweet one, but you can sort of see it – DeBlanc always comes across as a little pushier. The meat, despite’in spite of’albeit , is in them eventually’ultimately confronting Jesse directly in a conversation you would imagine will continue next week. Will they possess’own’nurse to do something dramatic to convince him that what he carries is truly that powerful? After all, the coffee can really doesn't seem to cut it – there are moments where subtlety isn't helpful. Tom Brooke and Anatol Yusef remain the low-key delights of the series, and now we're intrigued to see how they play the boys going in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ward given that they're eventually’ultimately being less mysterious.###As we mentioned, Tulip acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s in a few rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent passive aggressive (most aggressive) shots at the preacher this week. The shocker, despite’in spite of’albeit , is her sudden bond with Cassidy that goes from them meeting last week to car sex now. It's ripe with both comic potential, and they make a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent team, and the chance to detonate a plot time bomb down the line when Jesse inevitably finds out. How will that play out? Will he just accept it, given what he knows with regards to’concerning’with respect to them, or will sour e grossly thing? The one downside to the fun chat between the two is Tulip being in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ced to spew exposition yet again – not sure we needed the flashback to Carlos and the car. Thank rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent ness, then, that she also has that fun moment of breaking into Emily's house to ask with regards to’concerning’with respect to Jesse – while the poor woman is trying to use the loo.###Cassidy has a chance to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue his sweeter side in his interactions with Tulip, and Joe Gilgun mostly sells his sudden interest in her. Well, his interest in her as a woman, at least, since Cassidy appears to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue interest in almost anyone female he finds appeal’tempt ive. And in case you were wondering, Cassidy's feelings towards Tulip do indeed come from the comics, just further down the line in the plot. Given how far the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue diverges from the source, it's not a huge surprise.###Also in the Not A Big Surprise category: sneaky ol' Odin was faking his conversion! Or at least it merely’barely worked in/with regard to’concerning’regarding so long. We vote the in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer. This is why they hired Jackie Earle Haley! (Well, that and the fact he's a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent actor). Seeing Odin go all Clint Eastwood on the Green Acre individual was not as shocking as it might possess’own’nurse been (bet a lot of you figured that God-happy Odin was a cover), but it's still entertaining to see Quincannon be Quincannon. Woe betide anyone who crosses him!###With South Will Rise (Jamie Anne Allman as Donnie Schenck's wife Betsey wins the Title In Dialogue prize this week as she tries to convince her cowed husband to bepossess’own’nurse more like the man she knew and less like one of the heifers he used to slaughter) starts to turn the plot wheels a little more quickly, which will no doubt please those apprehensive that it's just going to be Jesse sitting around in town dishing out orders. The other townsfolk's stories continue to move at a snail's pace (especially Eugene's) but we're acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting more layers in/with regard to’concerning’regarding eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullybody. As per usual, it's Cassidy and Tulip who provide the main entertainment, even if the idea of Jesse's two closest chums hooking up has the air of a plot beat waiting to happen.###Highlight: Tulip and Cassidy's chat with regards to’concerning’with respect to his peculiar vampirism.###Lowlight: Did we need yet more evidence that individual dislike Eugene? This is one horse deader than the cowboy's.###Kill of the week: The unlucky Green Acres folk, who picked the wrong meat-packing stalwart to cross.###Quote of the week: "It's a 2,000-year-old symbol of hypocrisy, slaintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully and oppression, but it won't burn me face off" – Cassidy on whether crosses affect him.###MVP: Fiore, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his worries with regards to’concerning’with respect to what to say on the phone.###Random despite’in spite of’albeit t: Who else wants a prequel series of Jesse and Tulip's wild days, Better Call Saul-style?###Airing on AMC Sunday nights in the US, Preacher is available weekly on Amazon Prime Mondays in the UK.
