Funny how John Constantine went to a jungle island in the South China Sea in his regular clothes.

Laurel makes good points this episode.

Also, I kinda like the Laurel/Ollie dynamic now.

How did Sara get into that room if Laurel was standing at the door? She crawled through the vents or what

God drat, for a seemingly small island in the middle of nowhere, it seems like everyone has been there at one time or another. It's a bit ridiculous. Edit: Oh so later on they try to explain it, but it's kinda ham-handed.

Great episode, because hell, Matt Ryan is fantastic Constantine.

If anything, I just sorta wish they had caught Sarah earlier so we could've gotten more of him interacting with the cast. Hopefully the fan reaction is strong enough to see him come back in some future episodes.

Now that everything on the CW that is not a DC property or Supernatural has tanked, maybe they will be willing to expand their comic book show line up. Keep Arrow and Flash as the two anchor shows, and have a 10-13 episode run of Constantine in the Fall, with LoT in the spring.

The 100, Vampire Diaries, the Originals, Reign, Jane the Virgin.

I'm sure I'm missing something but the producers of Arrow/Flash have said LoT will be the last comic show on the CW.

If they give it to an independent team, maybe. I feel like the Flash/Arrow/LoT team is stretched thin as it is.

The Arrow team said they'd love to have him back but it's up to his future schedule. He won't be getting another series any time soon.

They should just go all out and make it the DC Television network.

Except keeping Jane the Virgin, but add a super hero to it.

I'm still stuck in season 2 of Arrow, but I had to watch this episode. (Should I skip season 3 all together? I mean, I managed to go through season 1 but...people keep saying is really bad).

It wasn't an entirely different grade of quality or anything - it's not like Arrow S1&S2 were high art, they also had their low points. It's just that S3 tended towards those Iow points as a rule, rather than as an occasional thing. I bet it's not too bad if you marathon it.

And by that I mean, go marathon it for us and report back on how it was, so we don't have to.

Season 3 isn't that bad in a marathon. I've recently rewatched with with someone who had never seen it before. and It flows way better in marathon sessions as you aren't lingering on the problems for multiple days before seeing the next episode
