Yeah, I don't necessarily think the show is going to play by all of the same rules as the book. But I guess we'll see.

I guess I don't watch enough reality TV. I've never seen the Bachelor or The Real World. I did watch crap like Temptation Island and Joe Millionaire once upon a time, but I don't remember ever seeing sex scenes on those shows, just audio stuff. I guess I figured the producers were allowed to watch them fucking, I…

I think that was more creating conflict for conflict's sake. I rarely fault the character for an oversight and/or factual liberty-taking on the writer's part.

Jesse wasn't a stand-up guy in the comics, he could be a pretty big dick sometimes, IMO.

Black women can be just as out of touch as anyone else. Although I liked Ruby for the most part, little things like that annoyed the shit out of me, although they may have been producer decisions.

Yeah, I don't get the Ruby hate. I mean I guess the whole Black Lives Matter schtick was a little on the nose at times, but overall she was a pretty good character, or at least had the makings of one.

Yeah, not saying it isn't standard. It just feels sort of off this year, like it was better when Rachel seemed to feel some sort of remorse, or when the contestants were allowed to express their outrage/discomfort with what was happening in a nuanced way. Even girls like Ruby, who seemed to be one of the top-three…

What she did was a sex crime though. I mean, I guess the contestants know that they're being watched, but to that extent? Is it in the contract that they can continue to watch you have sex even after you've manipulated the camera, and also bring outside parties, i.e. your family along to watch you have sex?

When has a character automatically gained knowledge they didn't have already? Has Jesse even done this? When?

Of course it's about more than what I said, but we're supposed to be simplifying here. What I said was 100 percent accurate about the comic. It is about a Preacher who can make people do whatever he wants, if I described it that way no one who has read the comic (except you) would fight me, they'd likely just add to…

I get pissed about parking tickets, not message board flame wars. Pissy maybe, but that's just because I like using the F word a lot and have a thing for hyperbole.

In this universe it is possible to go to hell though.

That's considered big these days? Wow. Also Kendrick is pretty boobalicious as far as I know.

Dude, I didn't say you couldn't tell me how you feel, only that I didn't ask. This is a message board, nothing anyone says here is of any real consequence. Including me. And people who can't get past the changes don't piss me off, they just mystify me to the point where it momentarily takes me out of the conversation.…

Small-town Preacher can make people do whatever he wants. Works the same way.

Although does anyone really ask any of us for our input here? I certainly didn't ask for yours.

Yeah, I hope it gets better. I actually thought Ruby had some potential at first, and whoever plays her is surprisingly quite good (and stunning), but she's gone now without much in the way of further character development. They'll probably be focusing more on Chantal, who I find boring so far. Too bad, I knew Meaghan…

I compared Tulip to a sour patch kid in another comments section. Tell me that isn't spot on.

Just rewatched the episode. Anyone else think Jesse's talk with Emily before Arseface walked in was utterly heartbreaking? When he was like "this is good right? this is what God wants?" It's like he knows what he's doing is absolutely the wrong thing but he can't rein himself in. Dominic Cooper is doing a truly…

I didn't like the last episode either. I also don't care for the way there is no fallout whatsoever for any of the awful shit they pull. The contestants seem less like actual characters and more like props for them to manipulate for our enjoyment this season. Remember how delightful Faith was last year? How much you…
