Jesse has the power to make anybody do what he says but has to be very specific about what he tells them. He can't use metaphors ie show her your heart, go to hell, serve god. I wonder if we will see Odin's "god". Jesse has a bad history as a criminal. Not sure how much they are saving for the next season ie Saint of Killers, Jesse's family, Herr Starr which I believe we already saw. |

Caught up now . Totally lost, but highly entertained. I find myself looking forward to the next episode. The show is more confusing than the Chiefs parking plan.

The season finale was good but it sort of makes me feel that the entire first season could have been condensed into 3 - 4 episodes.

sorry Seth Rogen does nothing for me - he's not funny, talented or anything else outside of being annoying. I intentionally avoid his stuff.

The more I've dug into the source material here, that appears to kinda be the idea.
The original comics seem to be built on that irreverent sort of insanity that Tarantino trades in. Very unique, very entertaining, IMO.

Yeah, he's leveraging his popularity to promote his favorite things. But he and his partner Evan have worked pretty hard on the craft of translating literature to the screen. They've done an original screenplay or to that were successes. It's not a stretch that networks start trusting them with passionate adaptations.

http://uproxx.com/tv/was-first-seaso...sary-preacher/ I guess it depends on if you think that all the groundwork will payoff if we end up understanding the characters better in coming seasons.

"was the season necessary?".....No. Full stop. It's television; nothing about it is 'necessary'. You already know how the story is going to end (because if it doesn't, comic fanboys will have kittens), so why the big rush? Television is purely entertainment and that's the only question that needs be asked. "Was the season entertaining?" I think that's an unqualified yes. And as a consequence, comic book fans got to see 10 more episodes of Jesse Custer. Non-comic fans (such as myself) also got to see those 10 more episodes and in the process got a little of the context that is difficult to fit into television adaptations of anything. You can't really do character development as well in a non-written medium because it's hard to get into their heads. Well this way we can actually see what put those thoughts in his head. Again, just too much gnashing and wailing.

First off, my understanding is not much of this was canon, or was at least vastly expanded. Second, it's fairly unprecedented for a show to annihilate almost all of its cast in its freshman season. I think we can all land on the conclusions you've come to, even if we take a more circuitous route in contemplating the necessity of the season as essentially prologue. It's not like you're seeing a rash of 'that's it, I'm out' sentiments after the finale.
