Didn't see that one coming.


I was settling in for an eyes-open snooze with DC's Legends of Tomorrow when I heard one of the characters refer to John Constantine. I started watching, even though I figured that it was just a passing reference. And then . . . there he was, Himself, chasing a chicken around an apartment. And even though he wasn't onscreen nearly enough to please please me, still . . . it was Matt Ryan as John Constantine, and that was a good thing. And now I hear that the old hellblazer will be joining the cast of the show. Mixed feelings about that, as Legends is not a good show . . . far, far from it . . . and I only continue to "watch" it because Joe loves it and I love sitting with Joe and chatting about the shit that happens in the little box in the living room. But hey, for John I can work up enough enthusiasm to give it another shot. Just wish that The CW would hire some decent writers . . . preferably ones who don't think comic book based stories have to be written like comic books from the forties.

I too was delighted to see J.C. last night and "call work up enough enthusiasm" myself to keep watching.

And apparently there's going to be an animated Constantine as well? Hotchacha.

And thanks for the typo call out!
