I'm thinking Katie Cassidy is either the sweetest, most hard-working individual or a total bitch, because these are the only explanations why after over a season worth of fight scenes none of the expert fight coordinators on the show dared to tell her how to hold the goddamn nightsticks.

"Uh, Katie, you don't actually hit with the... uh... no, never mind, you're doing fine, champ. :shobon:"

I follow her on various social medias and she appears to be absolutely loved by the entire cast. And she posts from the gym like 20 times a week and is clearly dedicated to the physical side of the role.

It is. The pilot is weak but it really picks up with the 4th or 5th episode and it's a crime it didn't get another season.

Agreed, and Matt Ryan is one of the best casting decisions of any comic adaptation ever -- up there with Christopher Reeve, Robert Downey Jr., Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, and J.K. Simmons.

The part in the prison, where he flips out and terrifies every other prisoner, that right there was when he cemented it that he was John Constantine.

Ray is unambiguously alive. There was a scene at the end of last season - perhaps the very last scene - where there's a giant explosion, then you see that Ray is tiny. The cast thinks he's dead because there was that explosion and he disappeared, but he absolutely is alive.

I don't think they showed him as being tiny in the finale, that was in the LoT teaser.

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.

So I'm going to go against the grain and say this was a pretty weak episode, mostly because it got bogged down in setting up LoT.

Constantine was fun but sadly I think he's a one off due to rights issues.

No, the producers said they will work him in whenever they can find a special enough reason. Also rights issues? NBC canned the show and when they didn't pick it up the rights reverted. And guess who owns both Green Arrow and Hellblazer?

Be prepared for some initial disappointment. Matt Ryan is great as Constantine throughout, but the show really struggled in its first few episodes. I think the turning point was when they covered the story from the first Hellblazer, about four or five episodes in. It takes a couple more for the show to actually become good, though.

The high point of the show is the Mexican prison.

In the original Hellblazer book one of the best things about John is that he has no actual power at all. But the poo poo he has done earned him a terrifying reputation which is enough for him to trade on and get a lot of poo poo done.

I thought it was less "he has no power" and more he's no longer willing to pay the high price it demands. He has access to terrifying amounts of power if I recall, but when he uses it, unintended consequences end up harming, killing or damning his friends and loved ones. So much to the point he's emotionally crippled and can no longer form meaningful, lasting relationships.

I'd always pegged him as the most powerful mortal magic user alive in that universe.

I will admit it's been many, many years since I've read Hellblazer, so I may be misremembering.

I'm not sure what you've read but John has no actual power himself. He knows a few tricks but that was about it. He usually had to trick another magician into doing what he wanted. And is friends die just from being friends with him, his bad decisions cost lives.
