I really enjoy this show. Show feels like it's only 30 minutes long. One of my favorites on TV right now. I've never read any comics and this is the first time I've watched a comic show/film and thought that maybe I should read the source material.

Just FYI, the show is very different than the comics, plot line wise. The main quest (find God) and the characters are the same, but how everything is playing out is very different.

They seem to have re-arranged a lot of things, from what I can remember anyway, but they are using the same characters/plots. The road trip nature of the comic makes it so they can mix and match different things somewhat easily. It's working so far, and it helps ease the viewers into the more crazy shit. Yes, more crazy then Hitler in Hell, a vampire and the Voice of God.
But, stuff that happened so far in the show may pop up much later in the comics, and vice versa. I do recommend reading them, though. Dunno if you'd want to wait till the show is done or not, tough call.

I think that though the show doesn't follow the comic at all times, it has the spirit of the comic, so to speak.

They need to do something with Cassidy badly. He is starting to be a third wheel and is quickly becoming uninteresting. The only interesting thing he has done on the show so far was butchering a plane full of folks and then jumping out of the plane without a parachute. That was in the first episode and he has been somewhat lame since.

Yea, i was thinking the same thing. In the comics, he was as much of a badass as jesse, just in a different way. He was a bettet fighter and is practically unkillable if he has blood available. When jesse doesnt use the Word, which he is trying not to, cass is more their muscle then him. But, in the show so far, hes just been a bit of a bitch because of his feelings for tulip. They need to give him some more fight scenes soon.

Still immortal imho. I mean, if he will just die in a couple days from dehydration, that would defeat the purpose of not sending him to hell.
Still, man Jesse is an idiot. Its not out of character or anything. but god damn, there is no way that won't end badly. Betray and piss off immortal unstoppable killing machine full of hate. great idea. Didnt even use the Word to tell him to stay there, or anything..

The Word eventually wears off when given as a command. They showed this with Kilganon in season one. When he told him 'serve God' or whatever, at first it worked perfectly, but then he changed its meaning (to the 'god of meat') to explain his behavior. The effect had worn off.

No, the idea is that the Word only allows for the literal meaning. Your intent is not transferred. Quincannon's Word didn't wear off he never understood God as the Christian God. Not once. This is why it confused Jesse.

Tulip asks him about it and he mentions he knew because of family business, but that is all they have explained thus far.
Soul wouldnt really be considered magic if he was legit religious. Jesse is an idiot, though. While I understand his hesitation about sending the Saint of Killers to hell since technically 1% of Jesse's soul was in him and you really don't want your soul to go there, the Saint getting his family back is legit the only way to end his murdering spree and that swamp prison is going to hold him forever.
