After his short appearance in Arrow, there appear to be rumours that Matt Ryan's John Constantine could be joining the Legends of Tomorrow in the next season.

And how were one and two?

Saw last night it was hours away from release. Netflix had a countdown timer!

I'll hope the misses needs an early night tonight so I can checkout an episode or two!

Over the top, gross, terribly sexist, missing something to make it good which I just can't put my finger on yet. Think it's trying to be a little too serious when it should just go for total gross out.

I think it's basically missing the actual grindhouse bit - dodgy camera work, skipping film and soundtrack, grainy and worn film effects, etc. It's OTT but sort of fun as it is I suppose.

Defenders was pretty great, but the climax seemed a bit rushed. (also, oddly timed music choice at one point sort of spoiled the mood a bit).

Also...

How would the immortality &or dragon stuff help the hand people get back to kun-lun? Only one was after immortality at that point, the rest for some reason wanted to get back.

Enjoyed the first episode/pilot of 'The Orville' - after it got panned by critics in advance reviews I wasn't expecting all that much but it's a real love letter to Star Trek. Great production values and a set of characters I can see myself investing in. Also the fact that Seth MacFarlane has toned down the humour and what there is, isn't (for the most part) too juvenile. Going to be giving this one a go for the next few episodes at least.

Knew nothing about this until last night, and count me a little interested. Have to admit I'm in the mind set of assuming it will be crap/wondering how it can sustain a whoe series, but am prepared to give it a chance and if you go in with low expectations...

I would have been more interested had they not shown the same two trailers every commercial break during the 49ers NFL game I was watching last night. That's a lot of ad breaks and it started to drive me a little insane!

Having just watched the first episode, there seem to be hardly any silly gags beyond those featured in the trailers. It feels very much like Star Trek: TNG but with humans not having solved all of their their social problems.

It does feel a little odd to see Adrianne Palicki playing another action hero surprisingly turning up to join her ex-husband after Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
