You are right, Gilgun is as...Thanks for the review. You are right, Gilgun is as ever a delight. Not feeling either Tulip or Jesse wwhich is bad. Their epic love from the comics just isn't there. The slow pace is a problem. Hopefully it will find its way.

I'm glad to know you're...Henrik, thank you. I'm glad to know you're enjoying my reviews. Billie informed me that they've renewed Preacher for a second season. So there'll be more to come. Maybe this is just like the first season of Game of Thrones; a big prelude before the ball really gets rolling story-wise.<br /><br />Michal, my love for the source material compels me to stick with it, even if I encounter flaws or develop misgivings about where it's going. And like I said above, the show's already been given a second season, which will apparently be longer. I don't mind the few episodes though, since the first seasons of Breaking Bad and TWD also had fewer episodes in their firsts. We've seen how successful those shows have become.Logan Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927158558530539708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46318181627870001722016-06-27T18:56:48.848-04:002016-06-27T18:56:48.848-04:00It was boring, wasn't it? I'm glad I'm...It <i>was</i> boring, wasn't it? I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. I'm starting to worry about this show. The first episode was promising, but now it's starting to remind me of Torchwood season 4. You take the insanity of the original and you keep padding it with filler crap until it overwhelms everything else. Are there really just two episodes left? I thought the slow pace was because they need to stretch the story over a long season. If the season is just six episodes, then I see no excuse for it.Michal Dvorakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047652605478282288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2017614411205399462016-06-27T09:05:17.328-04:002016-06-27T09:05:17.328-04:00As always, great review!
I like what the show is ...As always, great review!<br /><br />I like what the show is doing with it's source material (and I've just now started re-reading the comic). It'll be fun and interesting to see where the TV-series will take us. <br />I think this also means that I have a lot more patience with the show. Even though I can recognize the fact that this episode was "boring" - I didn't really think it was. <br />Not amazing either, but it worked. <br /><br />Also, a lot of fun reading this review - especially considering your thoughts about Odin Quincannon - now that I've just seen the episode that followed this one. <br /><br />Anyhoo. It's probably way too slow for the average viewer, here's hoping they pick up the pace a bit, and also explain (to us who don't already know) what the flashbacks to the old west are about. <br /><br />Many thanks for your reviews Logan. Please keep doing them!Henrik Bennetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446577900313568158noreply@blogger.com
