I thought it was only supposed to be a 13 episode season anyway because Hannibal takes over the Friday @ 10 slot in the new year.
:comeon: "Arrow", "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", "The Flash", & "Gotham" all got a Back 9 orders during their first seasons. Make no mistake, "Constantine" has been a disappointment for NBC.






:whew: Looks like I made the right decision to ignore this Marvel/DC comic-book show. But it looks like I'm gonna be in Day 1 for 'iZombie" though. Rob Thomas being the showrunner peaked my interest, but........


........ :noah: Aly Michalka being casted on the the show sold me.

But it was never supposed to be more than 13 episodes though. This is like what Fox did with Sleepy Hollow last year where it agreed to give it a 10-13 episode season. There was never going to be a back order for this show because it was never going to air 20something episodes.
Now I am not saying it is going to get renewed but them stopping production after its allotted number of eps have been shot is not that big a deal.

:ufdup: "Gotham" was only meant to be 15 episodes this season (Like "The Following"), FOX still ordered more episodes.

I think we're seeing more of the graphic novel Constantine ease his way through which is great.

Hope some network picks this up for a second series since NBC's a c*nt.

Nah.

If you're familiar with the graphic novel then this if fairly faithful to that.

In fact Castiel's outfit is based on John Constantine's.

Supernatural is more about family than anything else.

I'm not that familiar with Constantine. I've read some comics with him in it, but I don't know much about him.

I haven't read the new Constantine comics but I've read every issue of Hellblazer (the OG series and what the show is based around) which is a lot different than Supernatural besides what goes bump in the night.

The two aren't alien to each other though in some ways, but again I need put emphasis on Supernatural's central aspect being about family.

For what its worth.

I thought this episode was alright. Disappointed they didn't have my girl Zed in it though :sadcam:

The kid who was possessed did a good job at being evil and I like the Constantine character in general. His buddy Chaz could use some work on his character.

The opening scene was well done.

Zed wasn't in it because this episode was supposed to air as the 2nd ep of the season and then the Zed intro ep was supposed to air after it.
