Fun shows. The costume looks dumb but still have soome charm to them. God they really hated the magician and his family!

Think they kind of addressed that with the reaction to saying she was only doing it a week.

Courtney must've ye
lled Yolanda's name loud enough to travel down 7 storeys. Very discrete.

does that girl (the daughter of the doctor) have some sort of special ability?

it was just bit peculiar how they transitioned to her seeing and hearing Yolanda's name.

Doubt it but should find out next episode

4: Wow! Strong intro for a new character! I was like.. Yes! Her! In!

Guessing yer wan from school who heard the name being called is also gonna join the group.

Then that ending!

So dark for the show! Brought a more ominous feel to the baddies.

CastorTroy · 15-06-2020 9:09pm

I keep forgetting the old Justice Society isn't that old in this series.

I kept wondering where did Midnite's goggles get the info from way back then.
Of course they'll be handy for exposition going forward. But can they identify the ISA members?

Sudden Valley · 16-06-2020 2:40pm

Good fifth episode. Hopefully they move away from each episode involving recruiting a new member and they revealing very little on what the villains are up to. That has to rank amongst the weakest superhero power I've ever seen.

They have a full team, so we should be focusing on Injustice Society now. I know 2 future episodes are named after a new villain

Which power? Hourman's?

Slydice · 16-06-2020 10:15pm

5: Good episode. At the start I was thinking how the show was reminding me of the Shazam! universe and then it did even more so as this episode went on.

Cool intro of a new character I though.

It wasn't lost on me that they used the Birds of Prey song either!

Also! :eek:

Something's happened there!

Agreed - plodding along a bit slowly for a new show

And the outfit needs some updating - looks less like a superhero outfit and more like a cheerleader (these days)

(be great if Green Lantern comes into it)

Spon Farmer · 17-06-2020 9:21am

Has this show got a place and time for this side of the Pond yet?

That's how Stargirl has always looked like. In relation to Green Lantern, it was only meant to be an Easter Egg . Also there will be a Green Lantern show coming to HBO Max and DC don't have the same characters in different shows or movies at the same time. Case in point, Deadshot and any mention of the Suicide Squad was killed off or removed from Arrow when the film came out.

Edit. Looks like I was wrong thinking it was an Easter Egg

CastorTroy · 17-06-2020 9:46am

Yeah DC don't like to confuse their fans, as can be seen with their Batwoman excuse. Though it's okay to have 2 Flashes and 2 Supermen.
It doesn't even have to be the same character since none of the JSA GL related characters were in the corps. Not forgetting it's been established they're different universes

Exactly, they could use Alan Scott or even introduce his kids, Jade and Obsidian

Don't most super heroine's outfits look like that? Or are tight fitting.

CastorTroy · 17-06-2020 1:16pm

The costume is pretty loyal to the comics. Though think newer versions have her covered from the neck down.
Alan Scott was the original Lantern in this so wouldn't be him.
I was reading that Alex Ross didn't get any credit or anything for the use of his art in this

Yeah remember hearing about the Alex Ross stuff. It was related to the banners for each member of the JSA. I didn't think they would show Alan but his kids make more sense

CastorTroy · 17-06-2020 4:03pm

Those pictures pretty much show as well that no one has been cast in the role of Flash, Fate or Lantern. Hourman looks to be the only one there that isn't painted.

Actually looking again, it's hard to tell with Fate. I guess they just need the costume now and sorry about who's under it later

CastorTroy · 23-06-2020 9:35pm

When this episode started I was just thinking "MORTAL KOMBAT!"

So are all the costumes autofitting like Wildcat? I'm sure the previous Dr. Midnite was taller than 5 foot.

Slydice · 23-06-2020 10:40pm

6: That was fun. Team building episode for both sides from what I could tell.

I wonder

did that guy just hack into the JSA servers and the kids don't realise.

That costume did not look like it was fit right.

CastorTroy · 29-06-2020 9:18pm

Latest episode.

So did Cindy hear Pat shouting Stargirl's identity? Courtney obviously knows Cindy's so now that's a link they can work with.

And speaking of identity, janitor revealed?

In relation to your last point, he's

Sir Justin aka The Shining Knight

expectationlost · 29-06-2020 10:09pm

are we going to have clark kent glasses situation here, does she not recognise the the petite girl with curly blond hair?

GSPfan · 29-06-2020 10:35pm

I’m getting a very big Buffy the Vampire Slayer feel about this series. That’s actually a good thing. But I would like the irrational teenage emotions to calm down. Seems like it’s driving every stupid decision.

Slydice · 30-06-2020 11:38pm

7: Nah! No way

is she dead! Just knocked unconscious. Definitely the identity plot is gonna twist here. Why would either keep it quiet!

EoinMcLovin wrote: »

I don't know who that is but he knows Stripsey! Definitely been curious about him since earlier though.

Eduard Khil · 30-06-2020 11:49pm

Football player named Artemis in this episode wonder was that a Young Justice Easter Egg.

The ISA ensemble is extremely well done great villans very good show so far even if a little too tame still enjoying it so far.

Yeah it's kind of an Easter egg. In Young Justice, SportsMaster was her father and her mother used to be a Merc called Huntress unlike here where she is Tigress but her father is still SportsMaster in Stargirl. Cheshire was also her sister in Young Justice but no word of her here

Eduard Khil · 01-07-2020 9:24pm

I thought the janitor might have been Starman but once I heard the chivalry Shining Knight was my guess too

Has the pink pen resurfaced yet.

CastorTroy · 01-07-2020 9:35pm

Think last we saw the pink pen was when Pat took the stuff from Courtney's room

EoinMcLovin · 06-07-2020 6:13pm

Has been renewed for a second season by TheCW meaning it will air exclusively on the network next season instead of DC Universe

Hope it stays separate from the Arrowverse related shows

Doubt it, give it a year or two and they will somehow be part of a crossover event (even though Stargirl is set on a different Earth). One thing to worry is that there probably will be a dip in production quality next season as they will more thank likely have a lower budget.

Hasn't a Supergirl crossover been talked about?

CastorTroy · 06-07-2020 8:06pm

Yeah, production quality is the big worry. I wouldn't expect to see STRIPE too often.

As for the latest episode

If only Yolanda had replied within 1 second as she was expected to do.
Though you'd think someone would've replied to let her know they were okay considering the last thing they said was they were at Cindy's house.

And Bobbi looking to live out her plumber fantasy.

The part with

Cindi saying she knows she's Stargirl was brilliant. Also another rookie mistake by Courtney when she realized that Henry was a telepath and kept on thinking about the JSA

CastorTroy · 06-07-2020 8:45pm

I guess it's like being told not to think about penguins.
But it was very nice of Cindi and Courtney to take turns in thinking so Henry could hear them clearly

Is that a first? A show commissioned by a streaming service moving to a traditional linear channel, a terrestrial one to boot?

Well TheCW is a cable network first of all, so wouldn't be in the same league as Fox , NBC and ABC. Secondly I think there was a Netflix show that was cancelled and then picked up by a cable channel.

icdg · 07-07-2020 7:58am

It is a terrestrial network. (Admittedly this is the US, so the line is somewhat blurred, in that most people watch most broadcast TV via cable anyway). Not in the same league as NBC/ABC/CBS that is true but it has a similar number of affliates to Fox.

Yeah just looked up the amount of affiliate they have, that's alot. Misunderstood when you called it a terrestrial network thinking you were stating it was like the big networks. Oh the show that was cancelled by Netflix and picked up by a network was Ond Day at a Time which was picked up by Pop TV

Sudden Valley · 07-07-2020 7:23pm

epiosde 8 was very good- a lot of suspense in the episode. These DC shows have a look that is totally different to the cW shows so not sure it is a good fit but I guess they had no choice.

Slydice · 07-07-2020 8:59pm

8: Thought they did well with this. Wasn't sure how they'd handle

the identity reveal.

Feels like it can hardly be long before all is revealed. Thing about it though, it doesn't seem like the ISA care much.

CastorTroy · 07-07-2020 9:22pm

I think what will happen is

Henry Jr will help by making Cindi forgot Courtney is Stargir

CastorTroy wrote: »

It did look like

he was not set to either side there. They've done his character well. I didn't anticipate much for his development but there again he just did some kind of mind

bomb!

Slydice · 14-07-2020 10:45pm

9: Oh,

it's all up in the air. What side will he pick. Will he turned against his Dad. Will his Dad switch sides for him.

EoinMcLovin · 20-07-2020 6:11pm

Wow, that was a great episode.

Slydice · 20-07-2020 9:23pm

10: I

.. I wasn't expecting that. I just...

Yeah good episode.

CastorTroy · 20-07-2020 9:40pm

Yeah not pulling any punches

now she'll definitely have trouble convincing her mum. Something tells me "Mom they killed 2 of my classmates" won't help her think Courtney won't get hurt

Sudden Valley · 21-07-2020 6:45pm

Yeah they definitely shouldnt have kids fighting adults. Defimitely have Buffy season 1 vibes - getting better with every episode.

CastorTroy · 21-07-2020 9:46pm

They do seem to be going the 100 route of

woah they're killing a lot of the young ones. But then they only have the main cast left and the danger eases.

Oh and some familiar sounding films at the cinema
