Constantine [SPOILERS]

[Morrus]

Huh. Turns out there's no broadcaster showing this in the UK at all. Guess I won't be seeing it unless it appears on Netflix.

Did you?

Yes. Your surprise tells me this is a terrible lie and Brits are savages.

I hadn't seen the original pilot but according to a friend who saw both it, and the first episode, it's essentially the same thing. The key difference is that the girl doesn't stick around in the first episode, when she apparently did in the pilot.

Interesting call-out to the Golden Age DC comics with the girl being the daughter of Doctor Fate though (the helmet).

Just listen to some Cockney accent for 3 mins

I think they prefer the term 'soccer hooligans'.

Well, the teaser for next week had her in it for a moment, with Constantine and Chaz checking out the map again....

Her father had the helmet, but that doesn't mean he was Doctor Fate. At least, his name doesn't seem to match any of the extant DFs...

fixed it for you

Yeah, they've dropped the smoking and the Liverpool accent.

So, for the American ear, would a Liverpool accent be more... John, Paul, George, and Ringo?

They have Liverpool accents, yup.

IMDB only shows her in one episode, so I guess she didn't test very well.

I haven't read a Doctor Fate comic in more than 40 years, but I thought the possessor of the helmet was Doctor Fate? Then again there's the whole thing about her not really knowing her father, so the real name could be anything.
