Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Last week's Preacher was another of those apparently obligatory episodes that come along every few weeks to crush the season's overall momentum. But if nothing else, "Backdoors" offered the promise of a an epic team-up between the two big villains of Season 2 - Herr Starr and the Saint of Killers. The latter character's return wasn't everything I hoped, but at least "On Your Knees" paved the way for a dramatic finale.
If nothing else, this episode was successful in highlighting the tragedy fueling the Saint. Granted, viewers were already plenty familiar with the character's origin story, but the emphasis this season has mainly been on the Saint as an unstoppable Terminator figure. But here, there was new flashback material offering a closer look at his life in that fleeting period where he tried his best to leave killing behind and become a good, decent man. You can't help but feel for a guy who wants only one thing from his miserable existence and knows that he'll never, ever have it. Accordingly, there was an added touch of sadness to Graham McTavish's performance this week. He was as terrifying as ever, sure, but that aura of tragedy was more pronounced than before.
