DC Universe's Stargirl

I think it's Jenny Lynne Hayden a.k.a Jade.

I was thinking the same thing.

In the comics, Jade didn't need a ring or lantern. She had internalized G.L. powers due to being Alan Scott (Golden Age Green Lantern's) daughter. They might be simplifying things and giving her the ring in this continuity, since as far as I know, there's not much difference between her and an actual GL power wise.

I hope they go full Starman with Shade.

Stargirl: Prepare to fight, Shade!

Shade: Why?

Tonight we see season 2 episode 1. Don't know how I should feel since last season.

Well I watched it. There are plots happening. Zeek is a The Thing That Would Not Leave. That's about the most noticeable thing I saw that isn't a carry over from last season.

Finished the new episode. What does Cindy want with Mike?! Is Mike gonna get possessed by Eclipso?!

Episode 1 and I'm already hyped. Cindy ripping up Henry's picture was just cruel

If I recall correctly, the original Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.S. comic was going to eventually have Mike become a villain, but the series was cancelled before this plan could come to fruition, so maybe the TV series will reuse that idea?

Well Cindy, looks like you bit off mare than you can chew, eh?

Jennie is nice, I like her.

Jennie. Potential for Obsidian too.

So....

Seems I was a little off on things. Jennie doesn't really need the ring. It's appears that due to her natural connection to the Starheart (Alan Scott's GL power) she's the one recharging it. Whether she'll keep using the Ring or not is unknown right now, but they'll probably go for accuracy and have her not use it.

You know, when your first reaction to finding out that a dangerous supervillain has arrived in your town is to squeal in joy maybe you should recheck your priorities.

That very much was set up as one of Courtney's issues.

I feel sorry for Cindy's stepmom

Someone did a breakdown of Tigress and Wildcat's fight from the first season in this blogpost.

So we finally meet The Thunderbolt himself. Also The Shade is setting himself up as a wildcard in this season.

So much for Mikey Thunder, but now we have Jakeem Thunder, just like we're supposed to. I wonder if Mike'll be a bit jealous when they meet.

I mean this episode was sort of about Mike maturing as a result of befriending The Thunderbolt so I think it'd be a bit weird and out of character if he got angry that the pen ended up in someone else's hands.

Poor Mike can't catch a break, can he? Wonder if he'll get a second chance.

All caught up.

Okay, so my guesses: The Chuck we're hearing from the goggles now isn't the AI, but the actual Chuck's ghost. Chuck might have been killed by Eclipso somehow, not the Shade (maybe Eclipso possessing the Shade, like he did Cindy?), and is back now because Eclipso is back. Shade, in his ambiguous way, is here to deal with Eclipso, but naturally is unable to work with people productively.

I tell you, it's kind of refreshing to have a superhero show where something happens and instead of the characters scrambling for an entire episode trying to figure out what the thing is, there's a character with experience who isn't keeping secrets for no reason that can just tell us all what's going on and get the plot moving immediately.

I was really worried these two were going to be killed off by the new Fiddler in revenge for his mother's death, but thankfully no! Sportsmaster and Tigress have been promoted to series regulars for S3.

Though I'd argue the Fiddler got wasted instead.

Yeah, I agree there. It really makes Pat look competent, and moves on to other sources of conflict.

So I think most of us knew already how Sportsmaster and Tigress weren't that bad of parents to Artemis. But I had no idea how awful everyone else can be in Blue Valley. Shade continues to prove his wild card Anti-Villain status, Eclipso continues to be the most dangerous character on the show with Cyndy/Shiv being number 2, and Dr. Midnight may have been saved by Shade instead of killed. Also if Sportsmaster had a problem with Shade's ascots and British energy, and Shade had a problem with Sportsmaster's cleats, what other pet peeves did the ISA members have for each other that didn't make them kill each other? And why would Henry have still killed them for it?

And after a discussion of how it's good that Pat isn't keeping secrets, here he is keeping secrets about Eclipso.

CWed.
