History Fridge / Preacher2016

* Tulip adopts a dog named "Brewski," a common slang word for beer. She got the dog for Cassidy to drink from.
* If you're not familiar with the comic, then up until the 7/17 episode, Quincannon listening to recordings of the sounds of animals being slaughtered in the meat packing plant seems like just a symptom of madness. However, his reveal that he believes in the "God of Meat" means that he may actually consider this his time of worship.

* Quincannon got his wish to destroy the church...just not in the way he wanted, as it was done by the explosion of the methane that had leaked from his power plant, and it took him with it.

* Both mascots are seen hanging from the same tree after having committed suicide just moments prior to the town exploding in the finale, if they were otherwise good people (a bit doubtful in this town) then their suicide has just sealed their condemnation to hell. If they had delayed a bit longer they would have died and not have that mortal sin damning them.
* So, who is gonna feed (or free) Ashleigh after Mike committed suicide to not get questioned by the Saint of Killers?
* Jesse effectively sent Tulip to Hell. He didn't allow Cass to save her, and as she has robbed, killed, and had sex out of wedlock, it's unlikely she would make it into Heaven, regardless of whether the gates are open with God gone.
* Jesse burned down the Tombs, but we never see him setting free the soulless slaves there.

** Jesse allowing the soulless to burn to death was probably a MercyKill, like he did his ex.
* One of the handful (if not more) people that were possessed by Genesis before it reached Jesse was a minister of a Satanic cult. Imagine if that person managed to successfully merge with Genesis and wield The Word, rather than just blow up... The atrocities he'd be able to exact, and on what scale, would be horrifying.

* In the finale, God has created an eldritch species, likely molded after Lovecraft's nightmares, to usurp and replace humanity. But after Jesse ''surrenders Genesis'', leaving himself at God's mercy, God strangles his new creations in a fit of rage, even as they proclaim their everlasting love to Him. Why didn't God just unleash them all out of spite like He normally does? Because they are meant to invoke CosmicHorrorStory with a twist; they are meant to prove that God doesn't love humanity but also that God exists, through their constant fawning over God. They're meant to be a final insult to Humanity to force them not only to realize how wretched they are in an existing God's eyes, but to brainwash them through fear into loving God just before they die. Jesse, who was once a boy who gave in to this StockholmSyndrome to the Lord, just proved ''he will never love or fear God again'', no matter what the eldrtich abominations do to him or his family. Seeing this causes God to despair at the knowledge that there will ''always'' be those who will never respect him, which leaves his newest creations, not replacements but toys meant to torture ''all'' of humanity at once into loving him, useless.

* Many fans (this Troper included) were a little taken aback, if not dismayed, that Jesse's father John is a preacher here, rather than a soldier in the Marine Corps like in the original source material. But upon later reflection, Genesis choosing to merge with Jesse out of so many others makes even more sense now, in a weird way. The comics suggests (through Jesse) that Genesis chose him due to the similarities in their origins: Genesis was birthed from the coupling of an angel ("good") and a demon ("evil"). In the show, Jesse's father is now a minister of God (nominally "good") and his mother is directly descended from voodoo practitioners (nominally "evil"), making Jesse and Genesis' similarities even more striking.

* Season 3 shows that Hoover is a pretty good singer and piano player, which is a bit of a surprise, but the first time we see Featherstone, she's undercover as a lounge singer. Grail agents are apparently trained in a variety of skills, such as music, to help their cover identities.
** This is probably why these two were paired up, as well.

* Imagine how chaotic Anneville could have been if it didn't get blown up.
