Wicked things and bad choices abound in AMC’s must-watch Preacher.
But with Sundowner, I barely wrote 200 words.
Of course, with this last point Im referring to Eugene, but more on him in a bit.
First, lets discuss that outrageous violence.
We learn this for two reasons: one, Jesse uses Genesis to make LeBlanc spill the beans.
And two, it turns out Fiore and LeBlanc arent just angels, theyre Genesiss custodians.
Theyre also in an awful lot of trouble if they cant return their charge to its coffee can.
Now, these scenes with the seraphim called three movies to mind.
These references, whether intentional or not, take nothing away from this episodes frenetic energy.
But theres more to this episode than just the aforementioned violence.
As interesting as these moments were, it was actually Eugene who steals the episode in this regard.
But this isnt good enough for Eugene, who believes Jesse is acting unethically and irresponsibly.
Jesse, who has been abusing Genesiss power, ultimately damns poor Eugene to hell.
And with him, one would hope, so is Jesses desire to inflict his will upon his followers.
Still, I felt bad for the guythe look on his face was absolutely heartbreaking.
Miles is certainly headed down a very dark path.
Like Eugene, the mayors inner turmoil is just another manifestation of Jesses own doubts.
