Oh cool - I need to go back and pause that screen so I can read the reports

Good point. Hmm.

The promo for next week looks like it's taking us somewhere (and introducing a character) that I didn't expect to see until next season - it'll be interesting to see if they do, as that is the character I and others guessed Seth Rogen would play

I've been cool with all the changes except Jesse and his relationship with Tulip. Hoping that a 'grand design' behind that becomes apparent. Because if the reason was just 'I find morally ambiguous characters more interesting' I'll be disappointed. I think there is room for pretty straight-forward (while slightly…

Ah, I took that to be him threatening her father with being sent to Angola or Angola prison as leverage to make her comply…

Oh, he definitely already had his kinks. The prequel one-shot One Man's War establishes several of them.

AMC are notoriously stingy.

Yeah, I take it to be - 'If I can find God, He can help put this all right, including Eugene'

Well, the rules are a bit weird though - flight is impossible for a human, but presumably so is going to Hell, body and soul. We don't know what Denis has, but the body can heal from a lot of things. If he has cancer, could Jesse command him to go into remission, for instance?
And Jesse doesn't say 'I don't think it …

I'm trying to find the link, but I can't. I seem to remember it being in an interview post-DD season 1 where they said that if they hadn't written it all ion advance, they probably wouldn't have killed Ben Urich, because they found Vondie Curtis-Hall was so good

A super-powered lawyer like Matt Murdock? That would be particularly fun, cos he used to be owned by Fox before reverting Marvel - so he's got the relevant experience ;)

the thing is I remember reading they write all their scripts in advance of filming for the Netflix shows.

Yeah, it's weird. JJ, DD and Luke Cage all have one-offs built until their premise (PI cases, Law cases, someone hiring Luke as a H4H) yet they don't take the opportunity. Their model should have been something like Buffy, where the arc winds in and out of the season, rather than something like The Wire.

I don't fast-forward, but the hell bits are by far the story I am least interested in. (I would have preferred that suggestion someone made of Eugene appearing to Jesse as his conscience, as it appeared he might at the end of last season)

Off-topic, but love your profile name! Doctor Bong in the Joe Kelly Deadpool run is so much fun

I think it was in a comic-con interview where Dominic Cooper said he was surprised at the take they used in Bombay Sky Tower of Jesse muttering 'Eugene…', as the take they used was the coldest one, that made it look like he had totally forgotten about Eugene. I thought that was interesting….

I found that the Boys, more than Preacher, relied on it's ending to reveal its meaning.

I'm with you there. This is going to make me sound ridiculous, but 'Dallas' bummed me out for a week because of the damage the flashbacks did to the possibility of getting a faithful adaptation…

I mean, it's hugely compromised by the changes to Jesse's dad alone…not to mention the, shall we say, less than ideal take on Jesse and Tulip's past so far. But I have the feeling they have something up their sleeve.

Some speculation about the rest of the season (not informed by anything from the comics unless spoiler tagged) :
