beccaelizabethWatched the one where Zed is in hospital and decides not to treat her brain tumor on the theory it is a gift from god and the price of magic.
If I thought the story uncomplicatedly agreed with her I would throw out the whole thing, truly, that is an absolute garbage thought.
But the whole episode is about how messy the angel thing gets and how John is... really not okay, and messed up things John does when he's angry scared, and that the whole relationship with god thing is... not simples, even if angels, and... I am confident that the story is nothing but complicated and the choice isn't meant to be simples.
Unfortunately the episode count isn't leaving much room for complications to be resolved.
One episode left. Not read spoilers but there is only so much you can fit in that.
John Constantine remains a fascinating character and deeply flawed man. There's things he says that make me want to send him to so much decent therapy, but nothing that makes me file it under Doylist bad writing. He is just so many bad ideas in a trenchcoat, honestly doing his best, but we see how that's working out, so.
I am going to wait to watch the next episode and then when they are finished I am going to decide between starting again at the beginning and going back to Legends of Tomorrow.
