I know. Which was why the breath bothered me.

Yeah, but Sasha's out of her mind right now. I guess I mean that knowing Maggie doesn't think there's any truth to what Preacher is saying counts for more with the viewer because we know who she is and what she stands for.

That would be so cool.

The other teens were there, which was why I noticed. And yeah, it would be too convenient.

What the preacher did was actually take away any ambivalence about what Rick is doing. No, Rick is not the bad guy, despite what a lot of viewers seem to want.

Either that or he really messes up with Tara, making him even more hateful to viewers than he already is. One never knows which hackneyed plot line the show will run with — it's one of the things that keeps it fresh.

To build up even more tension for next week when I'm assuming the doctor will be needed to save Tara.

Was that woman the stand-up comedian with the side-mullet? I can't think of her name but it sure looked like her.

Maggie wasn't bad either, and her scenes also show how important it is to develop characters so that you don't have to explain to the audience verbally which side they're on. If that had been Sasha or Tara in the room with Deanna we wouldn't have been sure how they were taking what Fr Satan was saying. But we know

Geeky question, but was that everyone's breath we were seeing in the construction scenes? When I saw that and looked at the foliage I was wondering if they were filming in winter. If so, why didn't they hide that visible breath? And if not, what WAS that visible breath-looking stuff?

I think the W people will come crashing in right as the confrontation peaks. Speaking of which, where has Enid gone? She was AWOL at the party last week, wasn't she?

He never got over them killing people in the church, if you think back. He even tried to run away. They've presented him all along as a "typical religious hypocrite" character.

Drunk tv doctors are usually geniuses in shabby disguise, though.

That is SO true about the Tobin scene feeling like an old educational film. Like, about industrial accidents or something.

Also Jimmy must have wanted to be the one getting Chuck out of trouble for once by being the lawyer in Chuck's case against the firm. Which Chuck won't let happen.

I don't get the feeling Kim and Jimmy have been in a relationship. And Chuck has not been in a relationship with her because he referred to her as "that woman you were friends with when you worked in the mail room" when he was talking to Jimmy.

Chuck's "goodness" involves keeping himself untouched by the tainted world Jimmy lives in. He sees, hears and touches no evil, which has reached the absurd extreme of being allergic to the whole world. Jimmy is the opposite — building his church on the rock of dirty money.

It just doesn't seem ambiguous to me at all. The space blanket is too ridiculous.

I get this weird feeling that Chuck kind of likes it that way, too. I don't think we're supposed to love Chuck.

I thought it also showed an unhealthy need to be on top of Jimmy's conscience. He knew Jimmy didn't want him to see the paper. A mature person would have sighed and left it alone.
