It’s ugly, it’s riveting, it’s hilarious and scary all at once. By the time Cassidy shows up to help in the melee, the room’s destroyed and covered with a mound of identical angel corpses. Problem is it’s insanely strong and has to be responded to with equal force. They need to restrain the soccer mom seraphim because if they kill it it’ll just resurrect in a new body and keep coming at them. When the aforementioned big bad angel shows up to take down Jesse and Genesis’ former caretakers, a mad brawl breaks out at their motel. Great fantasy thrives on lean logic, and while this episode of Preacher could have gotten bogged down in all these world building details, it’s too swift and full of purpose.
Sundowner sets up almost too many fantasy rules: kill an angel and it resurrects on the spot, special angel phones that call heaven only work for angels, Genesis has to hear a special song it likes to leave Jesse, etc.
