NBC’s Constantine had an awful, offputting pilot, but afterward they immediately ditched their lead actress and retooled the show with a fiery artistic psychic on the run in place of the former female lead, and I decided to keep watching. It’s predicted to get cancelled, but the last four episodes have been just stellar genre television, atmospheric, funny, and suspenseful without being campy or gruesome. It also ended with one of those giddy, incredibly romantic scenes that is tailor-made to make me fall in mad love. Regardless, whether it gets cancelled or not, here’s an ode to Constantine in the form of episode screencaps (gallery under the tag).

Firstly, I’m not stalking your blog… but maybe I am, because we have a lot of common interests. 😉
Secondly, I gave this a try because I was so excited to see Lucy Griffiths again after BBC’s “Robin Hood.” Then I realized she wasn’t in the rest of the show, so I gave up on “Constantine.” “Sleepy Hollow” is enough supernatural demons for me.
So I guess I’m surprised that they intentionally got rid of Lucy Griffiths… And I’m wondering if you ever watched the short-lived “Robin Hood”? It had major flaws, granted, but I still loved it. (Not the third season, though. I pretend that doesn’t exist…)
I’ve just been thinking, the Robin Hood stories could be an excellent subject for a web series. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time!

hi! No worries 🙂 I did watch Robin Hood, and I did like Lucy Griffiths in it, but I actually didn’t like her in the Constantine pilot – it seemed like the wrong fit for her, she was kind of awkward and stiff. So I wasn’t surprised when they re-wrote the character – but you should try some more episodes because Zed, the new girl, is a sassy, empathetic psychic who doesn’t put up with any of Constantine’s BS and is on the run from men who are after her when she teams up with Constantine! I adore her/them, and the series especially in the last 5 to air has gotten so so good
