10/10!!! Jamie Delano would be proud.

This was a very good episode for me. No major complaints at all. I hope it pops a 1.2, or a 1.1 at the least for another nudge in the right direction. Predicting a 0.8, though.

Between 1.1 and 1.3

IF this were LSA, I'd bet my Alley Bux on it

LOVED this episode. Especially the ending.

 

[Jason Kane]

After hearing from Cerone's Twitter about some extra scenes that didn't make the cut, Im hoping for a Director's Cut of the episode

That's the best episode yet. I was about to give up on this show, but this one showed promise, so Im hopeful once again. I hope this thing will not be afraid to go darker, edgier, and ballsier to be more like Hellblazer and not New52 Constantine.

*gets up and clears throat* Screw the New 52! The show's relying more of the Hellblazer's 300 issue history not the DCnU failure that's losing readers at warp speed.

100% agreed.

And to capture the tone of Hellblazer, you need to be fearless in going dark, edgy, scary, disturbing, and crazy. You need to have balls. You cant be afraid to show how dark and how much of a bastard John can be. You cant portray him and the stories he's in as superhero stories, the stories should be more of a psychological/ horror story, the kind that haunts and lingers in your mind after watching it. Episode 4 showed promise, that's why Im hopeful again with this show. Im excited for episode 5.

It's has the balls of the Delano era at this stage. If we make to Season 2 we could get to Ennis stage

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Wow. This was awesome. Mega fan service. The general tone, mood, and visuals were all well-done. Even if it still does get a bit sappier than the comic at times, overall it's getting a lot dirtier and scummier than previous episodes.

Hmm...

Stop trolling man this is a small board with a few hardcore fans and few newbies. We really don't need this crap.

You keep saying the same things over and over. If it does get cancelled we'd have slot a good show and fans like me who have wanted to see a good portrayal of Constantine to wipe the Keanu Reeves film from our minds.

 

[chamber-music]

Gary Lester was more sympathetic in the show than the comic.

Good to see that ruthless Constantine side who will sacrifice a friend if it means saving the world.
