Re: Preacher (S1E03) -- "The Possibilities" -- 6/12/16
I just ordered the 6 books (collections) from amazon, because I have no clue what the fuck is going on.
Please tell me JEH will have a bigger role, main reason we are watching.
Tulip actress is awful and very boring looking. Show comes to a screeching halt when she is involved.

I am very close to giving up on this show. Ruth Negga is just horrible, horrible, horrible. Reading comments from Harry Knowles on how people will fall in love with the character really makes me laugh. How out of touch is that guy? And by out of touch i am nor referring to large cakes, as i am sure he has his grubby mitts on those most of the time. A scene such as the one where she gets stopped by the cop for speeding could have had the shit acted out of it by a decent actress, but with her it just felt like nails on a chalk board. The cop pulling a gun and blowing her brains out would have been the better resolution. Just awful. Oh, and i just noticed a comment along the lines that Negga is hot. NO!!!!NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! She is ugly as hell. Her face is closer to the comics Arseface than the TV version of Arseface. She fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down landing in a large barrel of ugly.

if that is Herr Star we saw this week then thats a massive letdown. The guy is a military hard ass, bot some small time business man. Even the Saint of Killers so far looks to be disappointing from the little we have seen. In the books he is like 7 feet talk and looks incredibly imposing. Here he just seems like a typical extra from a Clint cowboy flick.
I spoilered, for the sake of those that haven't read the comics:

I enjoyed it. I watch the show when it first airs by myself, and then again a few days later with a group of other people, and I find that I like the show a lot better the 2nd time around. Jokes are funnier, the random scene changes make sense since you know they are coming, catch whatever the hell Cassidy is saying, and everyone around me has a great time.
Like, by myself I don't care for the Tulip character, but the women in the group love her and think she's great, so I find myself liking her more. I sorta get why comic fans don't like her, since she's not the character we expected, but she does bring a different energy to the character.
I also find myself being "that guy" who read the Game of Thrones books who watches the show with people who never did and explains everything to death.

I rarely bail on shows even when i probably should....but based on the boring 1st ep and comments about what has happened so far... I don't think I'm going to even bother with ep 2. Maybe I'll wait till it hits Netflix or Hulu. Too Bad
