Great ****ing episode
Cassidy, Tulip, and Jesse have such amazing chemistry, the gore was beautiful, and the car scene where they were singing got me laughing. This is basically the TV show I was born to watch a road trip show with gore, humor, and irreverence towards religion. The police car scenes were great and the whole episode whether it was the quiet moments talking to the priest or the gang making jokes was enjoyable. Can't wait for the second part tonight.
And the the word was the ONLY reason Jesse wasn't bulleted in the first meeting.
I'm ok with nixing the aimbot power if it means he gets to ignore the stupid voice of god thing (Which made Jesse way too powerful in the comics. Liked if when god neutralized it, but they never explained how he did it or why he didn't just take away its power forever.)

The voice didn't take anything away from the story in the comics.
I still don't like how heavy handed they are on "Faux preacher principles".
Like, just because he has the title, he has to have all these loopy moral convictions. Comic Jesse was pretty much a "live however you want" libertarian type. Never once judged Cassidy or anyone else.
That kind of stuff stands out to me, because it calls attention the fact tv script writers proabably have a major chip on their shoulder against religion (They did the same thing in Walking Dead, with any and every reference to religion being as big a mockery as possible..)
Not saying this as an offended catholic or anything, I'm just offended script writers or producers don't have the discipline to keep their politics out of their work (Which would mean, maybe occasionally writing someone or something you hate in a relatively positive light, if that's what the source material calls for..)

Now that the show is starting to progress with the story, it makes me realize how unnecessary the first season was, it was essentially just a season long pilot episode setting up the characters and the overall story and away we go.

You basically counter argumented your own point. 👆
Well no, the point is that the story arc in season 1 could have easily been covered in an episode or 2 at most, unnecessary because we'd be further ahead now, the episode that last aired could easily have been the 4th or 5th episode of the first season.
