Cirien February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Can't wait for the ep to air, but while I'm waiting. This Swansea born girl, has a feeling that Matt Ryan might be watching the 6 nations rugby opening match, with the same anticipation we have for the same ep :D (C'mon WALES!!!!) 2 Link to comment
Morrigan2575 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 Very good episode, loved Manny in this episode. i liked that even though it was a Manny episode we still got insight to both Chaz and Zed. 2 Link to comment
MisterGlass February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 It was nice having all four characters in an episode. Manny and Zed could make a nice friendship. I liked that the scry map was incinerated, because it was getting a bit worn as a device. I think the show has found its footing well enough to proceed without it. I never realized how reflective Manny's eyes are. The contacts really glowed when the actor was otherwise in shadow; usually, I think he is more illuminated. 1 Link to comment
Actionmage February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 See, writers? You can have all three supporting cast in an episode and it be fast-paced, informative, exciting, funny, and touching. And for all four characters! Manny in the supply closet was gold! The "oh my!" look was cracking me up. Poor Chas; at least he didn't have to die this episode. Still, it very much hurts, so it's not nothing. Poor Chas. Zed? I cannot blame her for the look on her face in the chapel at the end. If an angel was cool enough to let me see him, and he was cool with me? I'd be a bit taken too. I am concerned about the tumor, though. It may not be the cause of her visions, so if it isn't? It could severely cut into her life! (And the saving others that she does with her talents!) Man, John has to win the "Magic sucks, but my life is suckier" sweepstakes. He barely takes comfort that he has saved the people he has/ the planet. He is constantly excoriated by surviving friends over the ones he's lost/what he's brought into their lives/raking himself over the coals when he's not actively working to stop Evil. He wakes up and steels himself for losing every person that means something to him. Damn. Hey, Manny? Yeah, the map was a "crutch", but that didn't mean it wasn't useful in-and-of itself. Burn your own crap, dude! Next week is the season finale. Man, I'm bummed, even with the previews promising an amazing episode! ::crosses fingers, hopes Manny can help pull out a renewal:: 2 Link to comment
thuganomics85 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 Hey, that actress playing the nurse was on Torchwood: Miracle Day! She was Ester. Sorry, but I had recently Netflixed the series, so that was fresh in my mind. Glad to see that the four regulars can be in the same episode. Granted, they still sent Chas back to the house around the halfway point, but I'll take what I can get. John "grounding" Manny was entertaining. I kind of figured that he could reverse the spell the entire time, so that reveal cracked me up. But, Manny did burn his map, so he kind of deserved some grief for that. So, Zed might have a tumor due to her visions, but it going to suck it up and keep it. At least she earned the respect of Manny to the point that he know will show himself to her as well. Loved their final scene; a good mixture of seriousness and humor (due to John being just a wee bit jealous, I think.) But, I thought Angelica Celaya and Harold Perrineau played off each other well, so I'm bummed that this show might be doomed, because I would have liked to see more Zed/Manny stuff. Season or potentially series finale next week! At least they're bringing back Papa Midnite, because he was the most remember-able opponent John had. 2 Link to comment
Zahdii February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 I think I liked this episode the best of all. There was some humor, which I need in order to really appreciate a dark show. Loved Manny trapped in the supply closet with the nurse! Him feeling lust, carnal pleasure, and guilt over 'using two humans to satisfy his needs' was well done. He got a better understanding that dealing with human emotions, sexual arousal and satisfaction, physical pain, and not having a direct line to God was a challenge for humans. "How do you get anything done?" Manny needed that opportunity to walk in another human man's shoes, he has been a little too arrogant. Maybe watching over John rubbed off on him, because John is pretty arrogant too. I do think though, that Manny will be able to use this experience to more fully realize that a lot of John's arrogance is John pissing in the wind. I loved seeing Chaz, he's a yummy teddy bear who should always be nearby if he's not right on the front lines fighting with John. What can I say about Zed? I wasn't sure about her at first, but she's become more likeable and important with each episode. Having visions that aren't always pleasant, maybe never pleasant, should be enough of a burdon for her to bear, so I'm not thrilled with the brain tumor stuff. Is she going to have one vision and then spend the next two episodes recovering from them? It's nice that her willingness to keep the tumor because she's afraid that she'll lose her power without it, but now that she's proved her willingness to do so and earned massive respect from Manny, she needs to get word that the tumor isn't the source of her power and should be removed post haste. I'm sad to hear that Constantine wasn't picked up for another season as the show seems to be starting to hit it's stride. Maybe TPTB will change their minds? Manny, use that direct line to God and make it so. 1 Link to comment

Kath February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 I had the same reaction as the author - can't believe they aired this at 8pm! Did anyone else think, "seven minutes in heaven", when Manny and the nurse were in the supply closet? Just me then? 2 Link to comment

Did anyone else think, "seven minutes in heaven", when Manny and the nurse were in the supply closet? Just me then? No, you're not the only one. My first thought was that we're back in junior high.

Actionmage February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 I had the same reaction as the author - can't believe they aired this at 8pm! Considering that the original timeslot for the show was 9PM Central/10 Eastern, it possibly would have been considered tame at that time of night. The season was probably written/shot as a later hour show. Then again, NBC had been airing a show about true crime/murders before moving Constantine to 8E/7C, so I don't know. I thought it was a funny scene; Harold Perrineau sold Manny's reactions! Link to comment
janeta February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 (edited) It wasn't renewed? Wah! :-( And yes, i too have been surprised at some of the stuff that's been airing at 8 pm lately; there was something else that got bumped down, but i forget what.... Edited February 14, 2015 by janeta Link to comment
tennisgurl February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 So, has this been officially cancelled, or just not renewed yet? I really hope its renewed, I have really grown to like this show. I love that they got all the characters in one episode, and got to get some interesting interactions from all of them. I especially love Manny. More Manny! 1 Link to comment
bryan February 14, 2015 Share February 14, 2015 It was canceled but it's also being moved to syfy under a new name same cast as what I read a couple days ago Link to comment
kwerkee February 14, 2015 Share February 14, 2015 (edited) The SyFy rumors are all coming from one source, Cinelinx ( http://www.cinelinx.com/tv/item/7098-here-s-how-nbc-is-trying-to-keep-constantine-going.html). Other places reporting it, have been traced to this source. There's a production crew member being coy on twitter, hinting at the move but the show runner, Daniel Cerone said he himself was not told anything about this. But maybe they are withholding information from him? And no, Constantine has not been canceled... yet. Edited February 14, 2015 by kwerkee 1 Link to comment
Bruinsfan February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 I have my doubts about a crew member being more in the know about a show's fate than the showrunner. If the hints were coming from NBC corporate maybe, but a set designer or cinematographer isn't going to have the inside info. Link to comment
Meredith Quill February 18, 2015 Author Share February 18, 2015 I've created a Season 2 News/Anticipation topic. Please post further S2 speculation/news/rumours there. Thanks! 1 Link to comment
darkestboy September 17, 2015 Share September 17, 2015 A solid episode. Could've done with a little more of Chas but I do like that Zed got some more needed focus and development as a character throughout this one. I also liked the team up with John and Manny and the latter actually being better utilised during this one as well. The serial killer/black diamond plot was done well enough too, 7/10 Link to comment
