Constantine: This one seemed like a filler, monster of the week episode. I hope this doesn't become the norm. We got more background on Papa Midnite. But he isn't coming across as dangerous and demented enough, I fear. I don't think this episode made it clear that he actually killed his sister and sent her soul to Hell so she could scout for him. He didn't just *happen* to have his sister's skull, y'know? I don't recall Jim Corrigan from the comics, but he might have been there. Given Zed's vision, we're probably going to see him again at least once. I appreciated that it didn't take too much evidence for him to start believing. Most important thing, though, we saw John with a lit cigarette in his mouth! Also we saw Chaz dying a couple times, so we have on-screen proof that he's a zombie or somesuch, if anyone was still unsure. That Japanese ghost creature, that's a real thing, I've heard of it before, but I can't remember what it's called - she asks you if you think she's pretty, but no matter which way you answer, you're screwed, she kills you anyway. Japanese ghosts don't fuck around.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
The problem with that is it's hard to believe those stories when there's no way anyone would have survived an encounter to pass on the info.
You with your logic.
I just looked up Jim Corrigan, 'cause it was nagging at me: he was The Spectre in the comics, with a brief connection to Constantine. I'm not liking it.
It's kind of weird that they made him a New Orleans cop rather than NYC, but I suppose giving him a present day origin rather than a WWII-era one opens the door for other changes.
Hrm. NBC Pumps the Brakes on Constantine, Will Halt Production After 13 Episodes. But it's not canceled and it could still be renewed.
Pumps?
I really wish they would team up with the BBC or Sky or someone, and move the production to the UK.
Pumps?
What doesn't make sense about that word?
I'm watching reruns of Dark Angel and really enjoying it. Either it's better than I remember or I've been out of work way too long.
