[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the preacher molest the girl whose dad died?[/quote]

Probably, he was an evil person who discovered that he could embrace his violent, evil desires in the post-cordycep world and people would follow him anyway because they were so desperate for protection and leadership.

I like the contrast of the preacher to Nick Offerman's character in that episode. Both harbored these very anti-social beliefs prior to the cordyceps, and the collapse of society allowed them to indulge those beliefs. But where Offerman withdrew into his own bubble, the preacher acted out his worst instincts on others. And also, where Offerman's character winds up being saved by love and meaning, the preacher goes down a path devoid of either and winds up in the bases possible situation -- eating other people, abusing his followers, raping children.

It makes you wonder what it would take to save that preacher from himself, or if anything could. What makes Offerman's character redeemable to such a high degree, but the preacher not so much? And where on that spectrum is Joel? Ellie? Tess? What would it take to push them one way or another? Or are they simple more inherently good than the preacher, more save-able?[/quote]
