Sure, but Quincannon basically runs the town, and the mayor's simultaneously terrified of him and beholden to him. Root's not exactly squeaky clean and has no reason to love Jesse given what he did to Eugene. So who exactly do you picture stopping him?

There's probably some sort of rule about whether exorcism results in a coma or just the departure of the demon, but it doesn't seem like it has to do with length of possession to me. Hard to be sure, though - I don't think we know exactly how long anyone was possessed except maybe Joshua. But it seemed like Caleb came…

I haven't been bored with this show for a second.

Preacher really isn't the sort of thing you could adapt straight, especially not on TV. HBO would have been able to come closer than AMC due to their relaxed content restrictions, but I don't think it flies as written on any channel. And I don't know how well it would be appreciated by fresh 2016 sensibilities rather…

Man, Ladykillers is the only Coen film I couldn't even finish.

Oh hey, I missed that connection. That's awesome.

He would have been a one joke character except then they did a whole issue about his backstory and I fucking cried when I read it.

He was emulating Cobain, yes. It's not played for laughs, though. The issue of the comics that goes into his backstory is incredibly sad.

I'm pretty sure she just said she'd fix it. But I could be wrong.

" I’m relatively sure this isn’t going to be a series about a megalomaniacal preacher destroying a small town with his hubris."

When did she apologize? I mean, sure, she's tacitly admitting she was wrong but I don't recall her ever actually saying as much.

That doesn't answer my question, it just reiterates your view. I already got that you think that, thanks.

The Brady violations were brought up in the appeal, as I understand it, and the cell tower data cover sheet's omission was ultimately what got him the retrial. And the police officers' record is public if you care to look.

Two police officers with a history of misconduct and similarly questionable convictions, who never investigated a variety of leads that seem on the face of it to be significant to the case, working with a DA's office that failed to provide documents and evidence to the defense that are required by law, interviewing a…

I am thinking the husband knows something is up and is trying to cover for the wife, but probably not that it's actually a demon.

I can't agree that it's asking the same questions, or if it is, that it's repetitious. We're getting new information in all of these scenes. Not enough to piece together the mysteries by any means (it's only episode 3, after all), but things we didn't know. It's expanding on plot threads. I have no idea why this is…

The fact that she found her Facebook profile on the guy's laptop should give you some indication that he's stalking her, if you hadn't twigged to it before now (that and the zoning out whenever she sees a red car suggests trauma). I did think it was her husband in the first shot but although he's a similar build and…

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you had a problem with Ruth Negga. Just meant I love her take on Tulip so, so much.

I'm a lot happier with the character (and her actress) than you seem to be, but it's true that her presence has been a touch one note so far and it would be nice for her to have more to do.

Yeah, comics Root is a total caricature of awfulness. On the show he's a complicated human being. But in general I think it's tough to hate anyone being played by W. Earl Brown.
