I don't mind them making Gary better, but I wish they had not made Constantine better. He still gave Gary the choice and got informed consent. They could have had Gary figure it out *after* he absorbed the hunger demon and said with his last breath that if Constantine had told him, he would have volunteered any way. That way he gets his redemption but Constantinee's bastardlyiness is not diluted.

The writers may be afraid that if they make their main character too much of a bastard, they won't get a second season. If it were on cable, now...

I was pleased with Katina figuring that shit out right away and going for the kill... nice.

Glad they've sprung Irving, so now he's in a position to participate.

Jenny and Abbie were awesome, and I teared up a bit during their final scene with their mother. I also weirdly enjoyed how third (and fourth) wheel you could tell Ichabod and Hawley were feeling when you finally saw them at the very end of that scene -- that was well played, and I loved that it really was all about the sisters and their mother.

That was pretty great all around. I was missing the Mills family last week, glad the show made things right.

I also feel kind of bad for Ichabod that treatments for the common cold haven't gotten that much better in the past 200 years! We've probably got safer ways of temporarily treating symptoms, but we still can't do shit about the actual virus.

One thing I wonder about: Moloch tends to be associated with infant and child sacrifice. I wonder if her trying kill Moloch is actually a necessary ritual for Moloch to come into his true powers and she is being played.

Ooo, twisted.

I was wondering that, too, TB.

Man, I love the Mills family.

The Flash: so that red/yellow blur at the end has to be Harrison Wells, right? Which makes him... Reverse Flash? Professor Zoom? (OK, I actually don't know the difference between the two since I've been trying not to read up too much on the comics canon in order not to get spoiled for the show.) Or maybe show just *wants* us to think it is Wells. But honestly, who else could it be?

The villain was boring, but I really liked Eddie in this ep, maybe for the first time ever.

I feel like the show *wants* us to think that, so THEN that makes me think it's a misdirect.

I had to look up the difference last night (I haven't read much in the way of Flash comics, because the Flash family isn't my comics thing), and it sounds like "Reverse Flash" is a sort of all-purpose moniker that's been applied to several Flash villains who are also speedsters, including Professor Zoom.

I won't spoil you, since you don't know a lot of comics canon. I mean, *I* don't know for sure, either, but there's some heavy comics linkage going on, and I'll be surprised if the show doesn't go along with it.

I really liked Eddie in this ep, maybe for the first time ever.

Yeah, I've been neutral on him, but I liked him last night. Which probably means he's going to die or turn evil. Or turn evil and then die. Or -- because it's comics -- die and come back and THEN turn evil.

I have to confess I spend every episode afraid that Joe West is going to die, because he's just that awesome and killing him off would be maximum HSQ and pain. He's pretty much my favorite part of every episode.

Well, no. My *favorite* part is when Dr. Wells gets to be evil. Every scene with Joe and Dr. Wells made me tense up and say "He's going to STAB YOU, JOE!"
