Be Quiet (Pilot)

And we’re back to the Pilot, with what may be the best opening scene of any comic book TV show. We see a comet heading straight to Earth (in Outer Space, as we are ironically told). But it’s not a comet. We arrive in Africa, in some kind of church. The pastor is talking when suddenly he is hit – the comet was actually Genesis.

Everybody screams in panic. However, he recovers and silences everybody, revealing the power bestowed upon him. He realizes that – but he wasn’t the chosen one. So he explodes!

And before Genesis found Jesse, she tried again and again, with all sorts of religions. And yes – Tom Cruise wasn’t too happy when he found out that Genesis made him explode in Preacher.

Eventually, we reach Jesse. And we find out the kind of comedy this show will present.

And it is great. I can’t wait for Season 2!
