That's the silver lining here.

While I don't think Lucifer is going to be too much in line with the comic, they had better not change the actor. Not everything in Constantine was perfect, but Matt Ryan was.

Aye, mate.

Damn.

So Constantine might appear on Arrow.

Backdoor Pilot? I'm all for it.

Backdoor Pilot is the wrong term for this, because Constantine had a show already.

[up][up]But the character might not be so buck up.

[up][up][up][up] Backdoor Pilot for a relaunch. If X-Files and Heroes can have a relaunch, Constantine can too.

[up]Heck they're bringing back Twin Peaks and it has been since the early 90s.

Those shows were all popular at some point, though. As I understand it, Constantine never drew in very large audiences.

[up]It did good when Syfy aired a marathon.

Constantine was sort of screwed by the network by being placed in the worst possible timeslot Friday at 10 PM.

it was also kind of screwed by what network it was on. Sy Fy obviously would have been a good choice but so would a network that would have better fitted the grittiness of the character like FX or A&E

Stephen Amell tried to pull it to CW, but they have their own ten-season ropey supernatural hokum.

[up] which is already shitty enough, given it has at least six seasons worth of Seasonal Rot.

Unless the Arrow writers significantly step up their game from Season 3, I'd be very, very worried about what they would do to Constantine. Hell, being left to the Invunche could be a less cruel fate. wink

[up]Arrow was in a transition period during Season 3.

They thought Arrow was going to more popular than the Flash but once they realized the Flash was more successful they had to change a lot of their plans and start moving towards the tone of the Flash.

[up]That... actually doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Either way, it'll be worth it just to hear John call Ollie a green bloody wanker or something along those lines.

Daniel Cerone says we will get a little surprise about Constantine today.

He said it isn't Season 2.

It might be the crossover with the Arrowverse announcement because today is the CW's TCA presentation.

I figure that this is a good time to catch up. I think that I stopped at episode 6, for some reason.

This is a signature.

[up][up]That's... pretty cool. Hopefully the crossover does as well as the Flash intro episodes did back in S2.

And hopefully if it does do well CW will take on Constantine as a series.

Besides that I have one other wish, Oliver and Constantine trying to out grimdark each other ending in someone (Felicity, or Diggle both would be good candidates) telling them both to lighten up.
