Constantine one night and Legends the next is some fun whiplash. It was a funny quirk of television scheduling that a channel over here started with Constantine just as he turned up on Legends but a very good one.

Series 3 has been good so far. Or Four? I lost track of which CW shows are on what numbers. This one, anyway.

While it's technically Season 4, we all agree that Season 1 doesn't really exist and Season 2 is where it started.

During Constantine's little "flashback", that was Manny the Angel from NBC's Constantine show we saw, right?

Season 1 Legends is kind of the pre-season. It doesn’t really count but it happened none the less so we can’t exactly ignore it.

Ask yourself, you can have Snart back as a regular but Hawkman come with him. Is it worth it?

No. Nothing is worth Hawkman even being referenced.

What if it's a Hawkman from the future, but it's the one and only Hawkman who conveniently doesn't look like all the other Carter Halls and doesn't know or care about who Hawkgirl is?

Why would you choose Hawkman instead of Hawkgirl though? Hawkman is just terrible, at least Hawkgirl has potential to not suck.

I paused to check, and it doesn't look like Harold Perrineau to me, but it could just be bad lighting (or recasting), because that sure looks like his facial hair, and and those clothes could plausibly be something Manny would wear. It would be great to have Zed put in an appearance, or if they wanna be funny about it, Liv, the original intended sidekick who they wrote out after the pilot.

I'll accept it if Hawkman is in a business suit, plus the beaky mask and wings, and goes by "Harvey."

Really, I'd be fine with having either of the Hawkpeople back if that got me more Snart... It's the idea of having both Hawkpeople back that is a real problem.

So... was the shapeshifter "splitting up", for lack of a better term, to portray all members of the band simultaneously? I found it very odd that they just conveniently disappeared after Charlie revealed her true nature to Ray.
(And if so, why did we see them arguing amongst themselves before?)

They were all real people. They just disappeared before the climax fight because they were superfluous to the drama and action after that point.

Anyways, I hope Charlie gets her shape shifting powers back, at least in some capacity, because I really liked the actress who played her and want to see more of her on the show.

Why were they having the huge morality argument about killing her if they could have just depowered her in the first place?

Because they were supposed to send her to hell, not kill her or depower her. I have a theory (spoiler for Hellblazer comics) I have a feeling that 'John' is actually Demon Constantine which is why he has such a boner for sending things to hell. Real John would thus be the one that threatened him at the end of episode 1.

This is kinda supported by the throwaway line Gary said this episode: "yeah, Constantine let me down easy, too. Said it was about the 'balance of good and evil'"

I don't know Constantine's lore very well, so thanks for the infodump on that, but my question still remains...

They were dispatched there by the Time Bureau, not Constantine himself, and their real mission was to repair the timeline. Depowering her would accomplish that by eliminating a magical being who hosed up the timeline. If your Constantine theory is true it explains why HE wants to send everything to Hell but not why everyone else is on board.

Also, pretty much my only knowledge of Constantine was from watching the show on cw seed, it seemed to me like the threat was a continuation of the "rising darkness" from that show.
