Did anyone know about this? I didn't! I hope it's decent--the trailer looks pretty good.

Dude. Is it just my imagination, or was I seeing angels, trench coats, holy fire circles, exorcisms, demons, and an imminent apocalypse? And if I was, it it just my imagination that this reads more like a Supernatural spinoff than "Bloodlines" could ever hope to have been???

(Yes, I do realize that it's based on an entirely different property. But. I mean. How would this not appeal to those of us who love SPN?)

RIGHT?

I'm willing to check this out--also, a spin-off would have been a great way to clean house at SpN, shift the angel war to a different show. I'd watch it. :D

It does look really good... totally worth checking out. Thanks for the link! :D

It's a great trailer. I'll give it a try.

Huh. Well, I wonder if, when SPN's traditional fans all migrate to this show instead, whether the current showmakers will finally realize what it was that its fans wanted from SPN, or an SPN spinoff.

I can't see the trailer :( probably because of my adblock. I've seen TVLine.com talking about it. I love the movie, so I plan on checking this out.

I always thought Columbo, too, til I read that. Wiki and Superwiki cite Eclipse Magazine as the source. I think I did read the original at some point but I can't find the source now. From what I recall, Kripke's original pitch to the network was about a supernatural detective based on the Constantine character, but it didn't fly so he pitched the brothers story instead. Then he wanted to acutally have Constantine as a guest character in the show, but he couldn't get permission from the copyright owners, so he created the character of Castiel instead because, dagnabbit, he was gonna get him in there somewhere! :)

It looks so good! I've heard about it before, and it doesn't hurt that it got a vibe that reminds spn a bit (trench coat aside). I look forward to this, Agent Carter and iZombie so much for next season!

That looks pretty good :D

I'll sure give it a shot. NBC is always a crapshoot, but I like me some Hellblazer and the network's renewed Hannibal for a third season so it's not on my shitlist (like FOX continually is). I don't know about the young, white, female lead, but Constantine himself seems pretty spot-on.

This preview trailer looks amazing, almost as good as a movie one! I've read a couple of the Hellblazer comics and they're awesome, so I'm interested to see what they do with the story. Constantine the movie is one of our most re-watched around here, It's hard to say exactly why, maybe the amazing casting, you just can't go wrong with crazy angel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton).

I just saw this today! It looks damn fun. I *love* the movie - and it's hard not to want Keanu there instead of the guy they cast - but still.

I shall watch. :)
