Tulip's attempt to make a friend by inviting her to watch her get shot in the chest was both awkward and endearing.
Eugene has been way too complacent about being in hell; setting up Jesse as his crush-stealing antagonist suggests he will eventually claw his way out of hell with a lot of rage toward Jesse in his heart.

They're more or less common-law, but they're not married.

That went through my mind with both Tracy's (I think that was her name?) and the bus driver pedophile's plotlines. He should have figured out that the Word manifests itself on a very literal basis, which, in turn, should have motivated him to order Tracy to wake up, and to command the bus driver to stay away from

That's a great point. The man she killed in her hotel room at the casino was also an extremely large dude who picked her up by her throat. But it didn't take her long to subdue him by knocking him over the head, then brutally killing him. When the Saint grabbed her by her throat, she was terrified and helpless. It was

I don't understand why Cassidy is supposedly the most reprehensible of the three (according to some fans, and Jesse). I like that he's upfront about his asshole qualities, and he tends to balance those qualities out with what seems like genuine empathy (notice how he took note of Tulip's distress following her

Jesse either uses his voice to be an asshole (using it on Tulip in the torture room, forcing the cop to sing, etc.) or he refrains from using it at all in situations where he absolutely should (e.g. as someone pointed out, he could have used it more efficiently to restrain the Saint, since he wasn't willing to send

Just re-read the comments and am now hanging my head in shame. Can I blame lack of coffee?

I think we're supposed to see their relationship as a "what doesn't kill them will ultimately make them stronger" sort of thing, but they just seem toxic for each other. It feels like a lot of the writers'/director's intent doesn't translate well to screen.

I think what we were supposed to learn from the segment was that what he lacked in physical prowess, he made up for in an inurement to pain and a ruthlessness that would drive him to kill a man rather than compete against him.

"Starr is just as determined as Jesse to do what he sees as “right,” and
he’s just as willing as Tulip to take care of anyone who gets in his
way. What sets him apart is his pissy contempt for everyone else, the
tired, “Oh fuck, I guess I’ll do it” expression of the world’s true
asshole."

When they can pry Trump away from the Cheesecake Factory.

Wrong! Trump tweeted this morning that there is no chaos in the White House, which must be true, because Trump never lies, except for all the time.

I was hoping we would find out what actually went down with the security guard (unless we did and I somehow missed it?). It's a bit ambiguous about what happened between the two in the moments before Jesse shot him—did he do it out of malice, or somehow, although it seems improbable, our of self-defence? Again, it's
