Preacher wrapped-up its excellent third season with a strong finale last night which saw Jesse finally get some revenge on his Gran'ma and the man that killed his father... even if it meant he condemned his soul to Hell in the process. That may not be an issue in the long run, however, because The Saint of Killers blew Satan's brains bats out, seemingly leaving Hitler in charge of the underworld.
Elsewhere, Tulip manages to escape the bus to Hell with the help of a little divine intervention. Of course, she tells God to stuff it and heads off on her own to help Cassidy. As for everyone's favorite Irish vampire, poor Cass is forced to destroy a potential soul mate before watching most of his new fanged friends go up in smoke after Hoover betrays them.
Karma catches up to the sycophantic little shit very quickly though, when Starr casually murders him by exposing him to sunlight. This is quite big alteration from the source material, as Hoover sticks around until the final issue in Garth Ennis' comic series.
Speaking of which, it looks like the final shots are setting up one of the most popular comic arcs for next season. "War in the Sun" sees Jesse and Tulip arrive to Masada to rescue Cass, with a certain unkillable cowboy hot on their trail.
Tell us, what do you think of the season 3 finale of Preacher? Drop us a comment in the usual place, you motherless goat-humpers.
