Preacher: The 6 Greatest Moments from the Series Premiere (Season 1 Episode 1)

Hello everyone, and welcome aboard the roller-coaster of awesomeness that is Preacher! 

This show comes out of the gate with guns blazing, and if the series premiere is anything to go by, this is going to be one hell of a ride.

Let’s relive some of the best moments from the pilot, shall we?

1. “My Friends Call Me Tulip.”

Okay, okay, okay.

So, basically, we can all unanimously agree that Tulip is the single coolest person on the entire planet, right?

Right.

If that fight in the back of a speeding car isn’t enough to sell you, wait a few minutes until she teaches a couple of kids how to build their own (working) bazooka then proceeds to use said bazooka to take down an approaching helicopter.

She’s a badass and if you’re not at least a little bit in love with her, you’re wrong.

2. Jesse’s Bar Fight.

Speaking of characters you should absolutely be falling in love with: you guys remember Jesse Custer, right?

Main character?

Preacher with a sketchy past that you absolutely should not mess with?

Yeah.

The way he completely destroys those guys in the bar without breaking a sweat, smiling throughout the entire ass-whoopin’, is a surefire way to make every single fangirl and boy swoon.

3. Cassidy’s Kicks Ass at 30 000 Feet.

Honestly, who wouldn’t want to watch an Irish vampire tear his way through a plane full of people, fill an empty liquor bottle with blood fresh from the source, then parachute to the ground using nothing but an umbrella to make his escape?

It’s gory, it’s quirky, it’s wonderful.

Basically, all the fight scenes on this show are remarkable. Like, off-the-charts awesome!

4. Arseface.

The boy is called Arseface, you guys. What else is there to say?

There is no other character like this on television right now and I’m just dying to know what happened to cause his injuries — a secret that will hopefully be revealed in the episodes to come — because I’m sure that is one hell of a story.

Is it weird to say he’s adorable? Because…he’s kind of adorable.

(Oh, for those who don’t know: he’s called Arseface because, well…his face looks like an arse.)

5. “Open Your Heart.” Literally.

This is just so twisted and so chilling.

There aren’t a lot of things that are quite as terrifying as losing your free will and being completely controlled by someone else. This guy literally cuts his own heart out of his chest because someone tells him to.

This entire scene, and the montage leading up to it, is just so creepy.

6. Tom Cruise Explodes

This speaks for itself.

Whatever has found a host in Jesse tries a few other religious figures beforehand, and Tom Cruise is one of them. While it ends so, so badly for him, it’s a pretty hilarious little nugget for us.

Well played, Preacher. Well played.

The reviews are piling in, folks, and people are loving it.

It looks like we’ve got a pretty solid new series on our hands.
