GreenNight posted:I might be one of the few who really like the movie Constantine, so I am even more pumped for the show. Catching up with the thread, but I like the movie as well. Which is weird, because I don't have much hope for the show. Constantine (Hellblazer) works because it is firmly set in one little grubby section of London, within a particularily dark portion of history, showcasing a beaten, neer-do-well scouser trying to survive in a hosed up gothic near apocalypticly magical landscape. Its so comic book it hurts. Transporting it to America, with a cast that needs to be there every week (instead of being betrayed or killed on a regular basis, largely due to Constantine's fault) seems like a weak version of what I know and love. I suppose I like the movie because it didn't hold anything back and the crazy good effects, something a TV show would have a hard time replicating.

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep so I watched some of Las Vegas on TNT and that show pretty much sucks but someone needs to make a show where Josh Duhamel and James Leasure do cool poo poo together because they were the only part of that show that worked and they owned together.

Does anyone have the links to last year's upfront threads? I'd like to see the reactions with the benefit of hindsight.

Not sure what's up with that but it means that those old threads aren't currently accessible. I do remember a few people correctly nailing how completely garbage The Blacklist would be. I actually thought it looked decent but wow was I wrong. E: In checking to see if Archives were still down I seem to have locked myself out of being able to browse the forums through any method other than bookmarks. This is hilarious.

God, if arrow just bit the bullet and submitted itself as a comedy, it would win all the awards. The dialogue alone is loving comedy gold.

I'm still crossing my fingers that The Flash will have Barry's inner monologue. Flash Facts were always my favorite part of the comic and I think the actor playing Barry has the chops to pull it off.

Hulu+ just has the last five. Don't know how that could possibly make a difference to keep people from watching your show legally with ads rather than having to resort to piracy if you want to see it but there you go media industry. Though Arrow s2 is only 30 bucks on iTunes which is a pretty good deal for 23 eps!

I bet the show will go full retard and make that doctor a recurring character that the main character keeps on going to for appointments.

I guess it could be a thing where they got the charts mixed up and did the wrong procedure to a person but I'd assume you might say something the if the doc started to do something as invasive as IVF to you all of a sudden. It'd be cool if they just completely ignored the science of it, like some hapless intern's all carrying around some sperm samples and trips and UH OH... SOOORRRRYYYY.

The thing I read basically had it as the main character goes in for something and the person who was supposed to be artificially inseminated was in the room next door.

To be fair I read that an estimated 10% of surgeries end with foreign objects left in the person (most often calipers) so it's not THAT unbelievable that they'd accidentally impregnate someone Anyways my main beef is how her child is technically a product of rape and nobody on the planet would be against her getting an abortion just like how every pro-life dumbass looks super uncomfortable and stammers whenever rape pregnancies are brought up to them
