What TV shows are you guys watching?

[SDC]

Constantine is surprisingly good. I was never impressed with the movie version, but this one had me clammoring for more.

[Phoenix219]

I saw the Constantine pilot over the summer and thought it was pretty good. I'll need a few episodes to see what kind of story line they are building to, to really have an opinion. Between Constantine, Supernatural and Sleepy Hollow, there are a lot of similarly themed shows going on right now lol.

[SDC]

i like constantine's cinematography/style/editing.

[Wally_West]

I liked Constantine too. I saw the leaked pilot as well and was a little disappointed in the new ending they gave it. I know that they are writing out the Liv character so they had to change it but the original leaked pilot ending was very much more true to the character of Constantine. Looking forward to the series either way.

Also Boardwalk Empire...good ending, gonna miss it.

[Phoenix219]

I didn't watch it again... can u be more specific on what was changed, and refresh my memory on the Liv character? Damn lol. Also didn't realize that it was a short season of Boardwalk Empire.... I thought it would be 12 like every other season. That sucks....

Spoilers so put it in a tag...

Spoiler: show/hide

The female lead either left the show after the pilot or was dumped by the network. So instead of being manipulated to join the fight by Constantine it was played as he gave her a choice to stay and help or leave. She ultimately chose to leave but left a map of "scrying" which I guess will be a pivotal plot device for the show. I.e. marks on a map that Constantine has to investigate. Next week introduces an entirely new female lead.

DC comics on a roll. first gotham, then constantine.

Yep. Pretty much.

Don't forget Flash. You might not like but it has been a mega hit for the CW and getting better reviews than all the other DC shows pretty much.

my favorite game lately is to identify whether a new young actor/actress seen in the pilot is british or not. so many of them working in hollywood nowadays.

i did not know griffiths bio or previous work, and the character she's playing is american, but i got the british vibe from her.

[Wally_West]

The Flash has been pretty great so far. Most new shows take awhile to work out the kinks and shit then get really good but the Flash is already there I feel. If this is their stage where they are working out the kinks then they are in great shape.

I'm annoyed as crap that Amell and Gustin won't be playing their respective characters in the Justice League movie. It's going to seem weird having other actors portray them.

[Phoenix219]

That wouldn't be for years.... they don't have enough details established for the cinematic universe yet to even be able to start trying to meld things. There are enough things that don't fit; On Arrow, they are shocked by super soldiers, there haven't been any superheroes yet; let alone an alien invasion and Superman. There's just too many moving parts at this point. Even on Arrow, Ray Palmer was supposed to be Ted Kord until DC told them no.

I'm more disappointed that Gotham isn't in the same Universe, even though it would line up since Gotham seems set about 10 years go. I even more highly doubt that the proposed CBS Supergirl or TNT Titan's will be connected either, which will be an absolute, major shame if Titan's proceeds yet isn't connected.

[Dan H]

They could easily say that Arrow, say, is before Man vs. Steel. I've always mentally tabbed Ollie as being older than Batman anyway.

Although supposedly Dawn of Justice is heavily inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman has been doing his thing for a LONG time. DC just seems so scatterbrained in comparison to the united front Marvel is putting out with TV and film.

[carey]

I didn't know he was supposed to be Blue Beetle. That is cool.

I'm totally ok with DC keeping the Tv & movie universes separate. I do think Amell & Gustin are great in their respective roles but I wouldn't mind seeing a different take in the movies at all. Ezra Miller does not strike me as superhero material at all and that is not based on his sexual preference but on his previous performances. Then again I thought Tobey Maguire was the worst casting choice for Spider-Man ever. Basically I know nothing.

[Phoenix219]

I was hoping the movies would actually do a better version of Barry, but it doesn't really look like the movies are going to be keeping in line with much of anything. Being the *dawn* of heroes when Batman is already in Dark Knight Returns mode just makes no sense to me, especially since its a rebooted Batman and not old retired Bruce from the last movie.

Arrow and MOS both use hard dates in them that can't be reconciled. It would just be very limiting for a show, to have to wait years (and in the process hold back its own characters and storytelling) to force some type of match with the movies. Its a bit different with Marvel; they've had years of world building in their movies already.

In the comics, GA was always younger then Bats, wasn't he? The only time GA was really old was post crisis when Hal was going gray and everyone was supposed to be a bit older.

Yeah, they teased Kord Enterprises in the background during the first year or two, but had to switch characters this year at DC's request.

Gotham has it's own show, now Krypton

[Phoenix219]

This is getting to be a bit much in terms of overkill... it would turn out terribly and it would be terribly confusing. Too many projects going on right now..... the only way it would be worthwhile is if they eventually crossed everything over with some type of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" so the multiple tv-verses and the movies could actually mix.

[Phoenix219]

Add to my list, I'm caught up with Gracepoint, and just started How to get Away with Murder.

As a fan of the Green Arrow comics I want Arrow and Black Canary to hook up . . . but I'm digging the chemistry he has with his IT lady.
