Warning: this article contains spoilers for the series finale ofPreacher.
I have so many questions.
Andwehave questions, too, about the final episode of AMCs comic book adaptation.

Questions like, were Jesse and Custer always destined for a happy ending?
Why did the vampire Cassidy decide to take a walk in the sunlight?
And how much fun is it to oversee a fight between Jesus and Hitler?
Below,Preachershowrunner Sam Catlin who also wrote and directed the finale reveals all.
The spirit of it was, what more perfect place?
Like, they did a good job, even though theyre probably bank robbers until the very end.
We definitely wanted that for Jesse and Tulip, because it felt like theyd earned it.
We wanted to have some of the characters have morally ambiguous conclusions.
We always loved the idea that Cassidy just did the same s over and over and over again.
He didnt really make the best use of his eternal life.
I never thought of it as a moment of despair.
So, is the Saint of Killers now God?Hes sort of occupying the throne of God.
But the sense of it isnt that hes going to lay waste to the universe or anything like that.
Its sort of like Prince Charles wearily takes the throne after the Queen dies.
I dont think therell be any big changes.
How fun was it to write and direct a fight between Hitler and Jesus?Thatwasfun.
The very last thing we ever shot on the main unit was Hitler saying, Jew!
and Jesus saying, Youre damn right!
That was how we wrapped the entire show.
So, that felt pretty fitting.
He becomes a huge rock star.
Once Eugene gave over his Top Forty mentality and embraced punk-rock, then it sort of released him.
[Laughs] Thats where youve reached me!
I remember when we first saw the church in season 1.
That just felt very much like, Wow, were really doing this!
Were really doing this!
I wont forget that Im sure.
