The Review at the End of the Universe
It’s taken me a while to get around to this so I’m not exactly sure how relevant people will find this on the whole but my style is to cap off the season in some way so I’ll give this a shot. As before I’m not quite sure how to approach this so I’m trying…
Season 1 Episode 13 – “Waiting for the Man” So there we have it, Constantine brings an end to the first -and possibly only- season. For the final episode we are given three stories in one that actually manage to hang together pretty well. The main story involves a young girl who has gone missing…
Season 1 Episode 12 – “Angels and Ministers of Grace” John Constantine tethers Manny to a human doctor to help him out when Zed has a seizure and is admitted to hospital with a suspected brain tumour. Only one more episode of Constantine to go this season and possibly ever. This show has had a…
Season 1 Episode 11 – “A Whole World Out There” John Constantine works with his friend Ritchie (Jeremy Davies) to investigate strange occurrences at a university. This episode gives us another puzzling thing to ponder. Why aren’t Zed or Chas in it? Early in the episode John gives us an update on their whereabouts and…
Season 1 Episode 10 – “Quid Pro Quo” Constantine finally gets around to a long overdue exploration of Chas and his daughter -among other people in New York- is afflicted with a mystical coma. This episode gives us our first look at John Constantine’s past through a flashback. Chas is the focus of the flashback…
Season 1 Episode 9 – “The Saint of Last Resorts Part 2” Constantine returns after a pretty long break with the conclusion to the cliffhanger that saw John Constantine mortally wounded being shot by Ann Marie to delay a dangerous Invunche. The most jarring thing about this episode is how little connection it seemed to…
Season 1 Episode 9 – “The Saint of Last Resorts” No more Constantine for the year and we’re possibly not too far away from it never coming back. Let’s remain positive and hope for renewal as this show is starting to hit its stride. Also, for anyone who is interested I have appeared on another…
Season 1 Episode 7 – “Blessed are the Damned” John Constantine and Zed go to investigate a faith healer that is very much the real deal and find themselves drawn into a much larger issue. This week Chas sits out this adventure because he’s apparently away visiting his daughter. We had a similar excuse last…
Season 1 Episode 6 – “Rage of Caliban” Before I begin I’d like to announce that I’m now a regular on a podcast. I will be appearing periodically on the podcast on http://scifipulse.net/ as well as writing a regular column on there. My first instance of that will be in the near future but for…
Season 1 Episode 5 – “Danse Vaudou” John Constantine heads to New Orleans to investigate a series of ghost themed murders in the area. He and Zed team up with police officer Jim Corrigan (Emmett J. Scanlan) who is uninitiated into the ways of the Supernatural. After last week’s strong episode giving the impression that…
