When Jesse tries using the word on him god plucks out one of his eyes before he can finish a sentence.

Hell doesn't work that way.

Or if you're somewhere on the spectrum.

This was exactly how I guessed things actually went down on here when they went into Eugene's backstory last year. Some of those choice phrases were still astounding though.

Equating trying to hook up with someone on the rebound - venturing no further than first base - with sexual assault is simply madness.

He had to find some way to pass the time.

No way. Easily the most complex character on the show, with the possible exception of Houlihan with her raging libido and military bearing in perpetual conflict.

God fled his own kingdom when Genesis showed up.

Cassidy might decide to go on tour with Eugene for awhile. Mooching off a vulnerable young celebrity would be right in his wheelhouse.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I mean, they would have shot at him anyhow.

I thought Genesis chose him more because an agnostic, conflicted priest was something he empathized perfectly with being half angel and half demon.

Cassidy eats lovable dogs and cats, manipulates people to stay high. His worst character faults are already being foreshadowed - he was a swell guy early in the comics as well, remember?

I think there's a profound misunderstanding going on here about Fiore refusing to call off the Saint.

Yeah it was. Perfect tragedy, right there.

Several main elements of Preacher can be found in his run on Hellblazer, which goes back to the mid eighties.

As the anecdote above illustrates, the "well regulated militia" caveat was discarded by it's authors at the end of the century.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants, along with a couple of dozen grade schoolers from time to time.
