Well let’s not forget, Eugene wasn’t killed. He was “accidentally on purpose” sent to hell by Jessie and the power of Genesis. Maybe that’s why Satan wants him back? And Hitler because he helped Eugene escape? ---

And Hitler because he helped Eugene escape? That had occurred to me as well; Eugene going to hell was out of the ordinary. If he’s killed, it seems likely that he’d naturally go to heaven (he’d basically been a good guy), and Satan would lose him. ---

So, developments. No surprise that the Anne Rice knock-off character is not quite what he purported to be. And David (!!!) Hilter’s plans appear to be wrecked. Noah Taylor really put in a performance. If he doesn’t watch out, the American alt-right will draft him to replace the current Oval Office incumbent, should he not be able to fill out his term for one reason or another. ---

Anyone still keeping up to date on this season? I have a great new band name as a result of last night’s episode: Exploding Humperdoo Montage ---

Great band name. I am still loving this show. The writers clearly labor over every line; nothing is random. It’s like a great stand-up act: there will be a call-back to every bit that had seemed merely a throw-away. (The lobby really IS a den of sexual harassment!) I’m betting that Featherstone (Julie Ann Emery’s character) will take to Hell so rapidly that Satan may be in danger of losing his throne. ---

Still watching…and loving it. The Cassidy story line has me enthralled this season. As for band names, I propose : The AllFather Gag Stick ---

Just loving it. Stupid youtube subscription seems to wait 2 weeks for each uodate so just caught up. Even Herr Star describing his company’s business as “quite humdrum” had me laughing. And he only lies at “industry standards”. Great action, dialogue and criss cross plotlines. ---

Any opinions on the last few episodes of this season? I liked it, although it’s ridiculously gory at times. (The scene in which Jesse and Herr Starr fought over the vial containing Jesse’s soul and what they rolled around in. And of course the shot right before that in which the vial emerged from where it had been placed for safekeeping.) And can someone who has read the comic books on which the show is based tell me; is the show still following the comic books, or has it deviated from them? ---

I haven’t read the comic but I know from previous threads that the whole first season was only 2 pages or something of the first issue of the book.
