I doubt that being Jewish is the cause. I personally don't know much about the various sects of Christianity or care. And I am generically Christian. Considering that he's just called "Preacher," which as far as I can tell isn't a denominational title, he might just be taking from various Christian faiths. It's a…

As far as moments from the comic that they captured, I was REALLY feeling it during Jesse and Cassidy's bonding after Eugene/Arseface went by. That little moment of them sharing a laugh was QUINTESSENTIAL Preacher. Even if I'm not at all behind this version of Jesse (he just feels like a pale shadow of the…

Honestly, I'm on the other side of the fence. I'm sure he's a great actor, but if we're going for someone who embodies the Saint of Killers, it isn't this guy. I just don't see it.

Frankly, I'll bet you're that guy/girl who, every five minutes, *as something is happening*, asks, "why did that guy do that?" "How did they get there?" "Wait, how did they do (whatever)?" You can't stand waiting for a reveal. That's quite depressing, if you think about it. And annoying. People like that are the…

If you think a show is going to just throw out major character traits and plot points and NOT explain it, then you've apparently never watched a single TV show. Ever.

This is a show that is going to explain things down the road. Trust me, if you had read the comic, you'd only benefit because you know where the story went originally. If you're going to give up on a show TWO EPISODES IN because they haven't explained everything for you in easy 1-2 syllable words, then yes, this is…

I dug the cocaine jokes. They kept it fresh, giving her new ways to get her fix, and I liked that they felt comfortable with changing her body type and then changing it *back* in the next season.

No actual reasons why you think that way? Seriously, at least try. I can be just as difficult.

Okay yeah, I realized I was off about that a little after. He was pretty durable.

Something I should clarify - I know it's going to come across as whining to some, but I don't get why so many writers need an explanation or excuse for characters being a certain way. Tulip and Jesse can't just be extraordinary people, they have to have some kind of "past hitman/current hitman" background. They have…

I'm hoping my fears end up assuaged, but to just rattle them off real quick:

Also, are we entirely sure that all of that time actually passed? It seems that he was inside of his own Confession Dial that whole time, which could mean that it was simply perceived time passing by. It's Gallifreyan technology, it's not unthinkable that they could create a device to simulate your existence through…

It's not enough proof, it's another TV show. "Proof" of any kind would be real world evidence, and real world evidence points to death. Even the context of the show, which is none too sunny, doesn't lead us to believe that he'd still be alive at all.

Do you know *anything* about vests? It isn't like the fucking movies. You get hit with a shot (even by a regular bullet), and you're going to be down for a while. A shotgun blast, POINT BLANK, is going to wreck you, vest or not. He's dead, Jim.

This would be a fine argument if he didn't constantly have 4-5 side projects going at once. "I'm doing what I can" is one thing, but it sounds awfully hollow when you're in an endless cycle of small projects. Maybe drop a few of those and crack down on the book.

You know this is going to fit in somewhere a few episodes down the line, but I LOVE that Archer is continuing with at least a few threads that work through more than one episode. As much as I loved Archer Vice, this is just about as good.

Walton Goggins - the only man who could make a ridiculously attired transsexual with a ridiculous name an incredibly compelling character.

Am I correct in inferring from your comment that you watched and thoroughly enjoyed HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, and you're now critiquing The Newsroom?

What's rude is throwing out unprovoked ridicule on a message board. It's also perfectly fine, as long as it's within what the board accepts. Are you saying that it's okay for everyone else to be dicks, but not okay for someone to critique their criticism in passing?

I'm glad that you've been consistently a positive presence in a sea of "look at how smug and nasty I can be while we all talk trash for no reason, please love me." Not even joking or being sarcastic. Positivity is good, surprise surprise.
