'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 1:41am On Jul 11, 2016 |
Hello everyone. I'm here to discuss the new AMC show, 'PREACHER'. There are currently 5 episodes with the newest premiering tonight! Here is the official synopsis, with the first 6 episode titles. Everyone is welcome... Are you a fan? Have a fave character, etc? Drop in and let's enjoy chatting it up. Fulfilling a promise to his deceased father, one-time outlaw Jesse Custer returns home to West Texas to take over his dad's church. Jesse's mission, however, becomes twisted when his body is overcome by a cryptic force that unleashes within him a highly unconventional power. Together with hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip and Irish vagabond Cassidy, the preacher-in-training embarks on a journey to find God in a world inhabited by holy, hellish, and everything-in-between characters. The darkly comedic "Preacher" is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's popular 1990s comic book franchise of the same name. Executive producers include Sam Catlin ("Breaking Bad", and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Neighbors". Hi guys...howya doing? Have you checked this out? @Dragonking @Solomonbrown64 @Elymoney

Here are the main character bios thus far...just small background...no spoilers Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper): Jesse Custer is the central figure of the Preacher trio. A drunk and a man without a higher calling to his church, he spends his days trudging through uninspired sermons to a tiny congregation, and his nights propping up the bar. Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga): Tulip is the long-suffering ex-lover of Jesse, (the pretty blonde I mentioned) who ends up bumping into him again and joining his quest for God. Proinsias Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun): Cassidy is an Irish vampire with a predilection for drugs and alcohol, who ends up joining Tulip and Jesse — although he occasionally does them more harm than good. More Spike than Edward, but a little rougher than both, he's a new kind of bloodsucker for the small screen. Sheriff Root (W. Earl Brown): The local law enforcement of Annville, Sheriff Root is a mean, bitter man who has no patience for anyone he doesn't like. And there's no one that he likes. Arseface/Eugene Root (Ian Colletti): Sheriff Root's son Arseface is a horribly disfigured teen, desperate for Dad's love. Fiore & DeBlanc (Tom Brooke And Anatol Yusef): Two angels sent to Earth to find Genesis, Fiore and DeBlanc are the ones who first reveal the truth of Heaven to Jesse and set him on his quest. Odin Quincannon (Jackie Earle Haley): A ruthless and disturbed businessman, Odin Quincannon runs the town from behind the scenes using his ill-gotten wealth. Emily (Lucy Griffiths): The church organist and bookkeeper, Emily is a hardworking woman doing her best to keep the Annville church on its feet — to say nothing of Jesse on his. |

Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 1:07am On Jul 12, 2016 |
solomonbrown64: I can't say how glad I am to have this series after PD finish, smh. In the first episode I thought it was totally funny how Cassidy used that golf club to whack beer cans at that one guy Then bending the other dude over to fill that bottle with blood...Cassidy is something else for sure. He provides such comic relief, lol. I like Tulip so much. She's a 1 woman wrecking crew....so funny and strong. She loves Jesse so much...can't wait to see how that story reveals itself. I think each episode gets better and better. Got any faves yet? Dragonking have you been able to view ep.1 yet? |

Hunnydropps:.. ... Yeah, I like the preacher himself as he is a perfect blend of good and bad which is why that unholy thing between both worlds lives in him. .. Those Angels are far from cute unlike what we have been accustomed to. ... I like the accent used in the series, it's just so warm... Haven't seen the last episode, will do that soon.... 1 Like |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Roon9(m): 9:01am On Jul 12, 2016 |
Awesome series! I didn't quite grasp why Jesse had to baptise that bus driver with hot water. Did the guy manipulate the little girl after they had the conversation or was Jesse just crossed that he didn't Forget her as he promised. My favourite character was that guy that was always complaining to the preacher about how his mom was always nagging him. It was fascinating how she was able to get in his head when they are miles apart....the way the guy ended though. Lol! I love tulip a lot but the downside is that am having quite a struggle understanding the thick texan accents of most characters 1 Like |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Dragonking: 9:26am On Jul 12, 2016 |
Hunnydropps:Yeah, I have and it's the bomb. Now, I have some questions (as usual ) 1. Who's the guy that slaughtered all those men in the airplane and why?? ? The only thing I know about him is that his name is Cassidy. 2. Those two guys moving from country to country in search of that spirit, are they humans? I doubt. 3. Did anyone one notice that the lady that bailed the preacher actually loves him but too shy to say so? I hope she doesn't die sha. The preacher makes a better fighter than a preacher.. Lol.. .I am having a feeling that the spirit is already possessing and controlling the preacher.. Overall this series is very interesting and am already downloading episode 2. 1 Like |

Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 10:40am On Jul 12, 2016 |
i read some of the comics that it's based on and tv series is not what i expected but it is still very intresting, even though i know the story i keep wondering what is going to happen next cant wait for ep 8 1 Like |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 12:10pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
Dragonking: I'm so glad that you think it's the bomb! I see that people either love it or hate it which I don't understand but as they say one man's trash is another man's treasure right. Ok, o....let's get to ur questions. #1- you're right that is Cassidy and he's a vampire. He slaughtered those men because they were vampire Hunters. He's been trying to avoid them and couldn't figure out how they found him there. I don't know yet for how long Cassidy has been a vampire or how long they've been hunting him but apparently they keep trying to get him and I suspect we will see more vampire hunters in the series. As a matter of fact he mistakes the two angels for vampire Hunters initially. I would also like to add that in the latest episode (ep. 5) Tulip eludes that Cassidy may not be just a vampire because asking him if he told Jesse about who he really is. So definately more to Cassidy. #2- [/b]The 2 guys searching are the angels...Fiore & DeBlanc. The angels are the appointed guardians of the entity (named Genisis) which finally found a host that it didn't immediately destroy when it entered Jesse. I think it dont explode Jesse exactly for the reason Solomonbrown64 said...because Jesse is the perfect balance of good and evil. [b]#3- Yes, that is Emily. It's been evident since the first scene she appeared in with Jesse that she was in love with him. You see her many times look as if she's on the verge of telling him but she pulls it back at the last minute. And it even looks like Jesse may have feelings for her as well, although, I don't think they're as strong as her feelings for him at all....at least not YET anyway. Yeah, hope they don't kill her because I think we're going to see a very interesting love triangle if they keep her around. I'd love the opportunity to see who I think is best for Jesse as a gf as things progress. .....And I know you haven't gotten this far yet but after meeting Tulip it might be even harder to admit to Jesse that she's in love with him. But we'll have to see about that because you know how these shows flip the script on us, lol . - [/b]Oh yeah, Preacher can fight!!! He got them hands, lol! Wow, you see how he snapped homeboy's arm in the bar fight? You don't want to fight Jesse...he's a beast with them paws! [b]- Also...what you guys think of Jesse helping that little boy because he said his dad was beating on his mom, LOL? When preacher went to confront her at work and discovered that she wasn't being beaten against her will but that she likes it... ...OMG, the look on Preacher's face was priceless. He was looking like, "Huh What Ohhhh, Ok."...hahaha. |

solomonbrown64: Hey there, Solo...I knew u would actually like the character Jesse/Preacher and I knew DK was going to point out Emily and say he hope they don't kill her.....LOLOLOLOL You are not lying...the angels are not what we typically think of as 'angelic' in the aesthetic dept., huh....Especially the tall one. The small one is definitely better looking than his sidekick tho, lol. They have a pretty typical Southwestern accent they are using...not as harsh as the regular Southern accent found in the U.S. The one in the show sounds much softer...probably because it may be influenced by the Midwest accent (which to my ears, when I hear someone from the Midwest talking it sounds like no accent at all). Did ya check out that old coffee can they keep GENISIS in, tho... What kind jail is that for such a powerful spirit It was bound to escape from that rusty thing at some point. |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 12:53pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
Roon9: Hi I'm so glad you like the show and came over to join us...nice to see you Jesse put that guy in the hot water because not only did the bus driver not forget about the little girl but Jesse just found it despicable that he has the mind of a pedophile to begin with. I also believe that Jesse thought the bus driver would end up molesting the girl anyway at some point. I mean when they were talking in the church and that pervert admitted to his inclinations the preacher looked disgusted and Furious like he wanted to kill the guy right there. So I think that spirit inside Jesse compelled him to go handle business to be sure that bus driver wouldn't hurt any little children. YESSSS... that guy that was always complaining about his mom. At first I too thought he was staying with his mother but come to find out he was actually so far away from her. I was wondering how a mother could be so mean and insensitive to her child... At the end of the day we see that the man is crazy and the voices were all in his head the whole time. He had some type of psychosis apparently. His poor mother when he showed up at the nursing home was like in shock to even see him and seems so puzzled as to what he was saying. Ripping his own heart out there in front of his mother was totally insane. .... even though the spirit in the preacher can cause people to do evil things I don't think Jesse meant to cut his own heart out when he said 'open your heart', LMAO. -Awww that sucks that you are having a little difficulty understanding some of the dialogue due to the accent. If there's ever some dialogue you're not clear on give me a shout because I'm quite used to hearing it and I'll gladly clear it up for you. Don't let that part discourage you from continuing to watch tho...when one of us here don't get something we all help each other to figure stuff out...no wahala |

Dragonking: Your always welcome. I'm just setting up to rewatch ep.3 too so I can keep the activities of each episode straight for discussion...you'll be caught up in no time Yup very seriously, those are the angels...the guardians of GENISIS at that! Seem to be a bit inept don't they? Have you noticed they regenerate when killed? If you think their fighting skills are lack luster now just wait until you see the fight scenes in the motel....bodies, bodies everywhere. |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Roon9(m): 4:08pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
Hunnydropps: Lols! On point analysis. Naaa it's not going to discourage me, am on d 4th episode. I think the power inside Jesse works with his speech and not exactly what he has in his mind. it's a compelling force, this is evident when he told that girl with a compressed skull to open her eyes. He actually meant to heal her fully but he didn't say it categorically so the girl jus opened her eyes but remained sick What really happened to that disfigured guy they can arseface?? I enjoy watching him talk. He's talking shit figuratively speaking |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 6:37pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
Roon9: I think you're on to something with how Jesse's power works...your theory definitely makes sense at this point. As for Arseface/Eugene...I wanna tell you bc I was wondering the same thing until they revealed what happened. I don't want to put that particular spoiler out here yet bc I know everyone always wonders about it. But i will say this...he is connected to the girl that's comatose. Hmmm...what ya think happened there? Lol Be sure to drop your thoughts after watching #4....some strange things happen. @Dragonking there's something I think you will note in ep.4 1 Like |

Hunnydropps:the comics are awesome, and they are trying to stay as close to the source material as possible, all the main characters are pulled directly from the comics, even that guy from the past( saint of killers), i just hope we get to see God before the season ends |
Re: 'preacher' (tv Series On Amc) by Nobody: 8:17pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
Hunnydropps:the comics are awesome, and they are trying to stay as close to the source material as possible, in the comics, genesis merged with the preacher during a service and killed every one in the church and god is terrified of genesis, because with genesis in the preacher he can anybody even god. |
