Interesting points. But nonetheless, TV has changed the nature of debate enormously. There's an old but excellent book by the late Neil Postman titled 'Amusing Ourselves to Death'. One of the observations ot makes is that 100 years ago, the average American could walk past their president on the street and not…

Macho I'm fime with. But he doesn't feel like a hero to me, Also, I think it's a stretch to call Tulip "good". She's merely less of an out and out monster than Jessie.

So, you're calling real world people morons by citing a fictional depiction on a fantasy TV series. They weren't attacking anyone when they came out of the hotel. They ran out and saw a vehicle accident and then Jessie forced them to attack a figure that emerged. Sure, they continued standing there after he walked out…

Again, I'm going to post a slight disagreement with you. Mainly because I feel you have somewhat antiquated attitudes. Women are just as capable of violence as men. In fact, the USAF long ago did a study to see if women could be capable of being fighter pilots (this was back in the days when dumb studies like this…

You are alone on a lonely, lonely island by yourself.

LOL! The first half of this comment section is filled with people horrified at calling Jackie Chan chinese. The second half is going to be filled with people making jokes about the Irish being drunk and violent.

So you want to lump a massive amount of hugely varied people together? What's wrong with Chinese-American if for some reason you need to refer to people's ancestry?

You're aware that there are plenty of Black people in Britain who are no less English than anyone else? So, yeah - that wouldn't be a particularly welcome phrase.

Honestly, I grew up in the UK and "the Chinaman" doesn't provoke any particular reaction and like you, I think it sounds vaguely gangster. Like "Dutch", or "The Dane" in Miller's Crossing. Whereas "The Foreigner" sounds pretty xenophobic and othering to my ears.

Yeah, now THAT to me is when it's offensive, when it gets misapplied. Hell, even Asian irritates me in the way that it treats massively disparate groups as one homogenus blob. If you need to refer to someone's ancestry or nationality for some reason (i.e. on about a fifth of the occassions people actually do), then…

Ah, now "American" - that's a term of abuse in many places. ;)

Also, they can be region specific. I couldn't believe it when an American colleague used the word "spastic" in a meeting. In the UK for my generation we grew up with that as a very offensive term. Again, it's a medical term that became a term of abuse. I told my colleague they'd best not use it abroad.

I guess I just never really thought of a woman using a big gun as incongruous. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they just told the group to take a gun and the actress picked it out by choice. Try remarkihg to a female NRA member that you think it's incongruent for her to not have a smaller gun and she'll probably…

Given that one-third of the comments on any Preacher review are made up of the impotent tears of comics fans complaining that something is wrong, I'm going to go with "no". :)

I don't get why the voice wouldnlt work on him, either. As far as I can tell he's just a really mean person who got a Hallpass from Hell. Maybe it doesn't work on the dead or something but I just don't see why.

It did seem weird. If he thinks she just went up to change a shirt, he's probably nit going to wander off to a different bar. Jessie is an unthinking arse though, so maybe he would.

They might change things around a bit but a lot of essentials and plot points stay the same. Show some decency and take the five extra seconds to use some spoiler tags.

They didn't freak out - they re-loaded and tried again.

Why is that ironic?

Honestly, and I don't know if anybody else feels the same, but the fact that I simply do not like the title character significantly undermines any enjoyment of the show. He's a repugnant person who got not one but two entire groups of people killed callously in this one episode. (Firstly a lot of police who had…
