Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Here's a question. If someone binged this entire season of Preacher and accidentally skipped over last week's "Holes," would they even notice? That episode only seems more pointless and uneventful in light of the far-superior "Puzzle Piece." It's good to see the season once again bouncing back after a lull period, but it would be nice if this series could manage a little more consistency.
Looking back at Season 2 to date, it really does seem like the quality of each episode is directly proportional to how much screen time is given to the villain. The best installments are those that have kept the Saint of Killers or Herr Starr firmly in the spotlight. And there was certainly plenty of the latter in "Puzzle Pieces." This was really the first week where we got to see the dynamic between Starr and Agents Featherstone and Hoover in action. That dynamic tended to be one of my favorite elements of the comic, and survived the transition pretty much entirely intact. As in the comic, I get a real kick out of Featherstone's ruthless competence combined with her naked (but entirely unrequited) affection for Starr. In some ways, Featherstone is even an improvement over the source material. Seeing her play dual roles and pretend to Tulip's mousy next-door neighbor adds an extra touch of fun and danger to her presence. And then you have Hoover as the bumbling comic relief, proving that not every Grail member is an elite, amoral killing machine.
