This was a great season finale but I won't spoil anything for the lurkers who watches this episode on Tuesday.

I'll pretty much say that you should continuation watching after the "dedication to" credits... the episode continues after that so don't turn your television and the cliffhanger was neat however in terms of full episode I am just upset with some decisions that were made that doesn't make me all that excited for next season.

It was I really enjoyed it.

Best episode of the Year...of any tv show this year

you guys are probably saying "dude, you really don't watch that much tv, do you?"

I complained to Tia the whole season about the sadness of the show, but it all resolved itself, only leaving one sad storyline which they will deal with in season 2....

the whole journey of the season overall was a little rocky for me though

Spoiler:

btw...I don't watch much tv...just mainly sports, movies and reality shows.

Yes the episode was great

at Yolanda saying "You're the silent knight!"

Courtney getting through to Pat by saying she's his daughter was sweet. loved that moment.. they've come so for since they first episode when she wanted nothing to do with Pat.

and how ironic is it that Rick and Yolanda do the opposite of what they were telling the other. Yolanda killing Brainwave surprised me she was so cold in that scene. she just seems so empty and emotionless right now

and Rick finally getting to fight Grundy was awesome he needed that moment and by the end of the fight to see his growth an not killing and actually letting him go, wow. Really proud of Rick!

Poor Beth

losing Chuck. I hope they can find a way to bring him back.

Icicle getting ran over by Mike, was my favorite part

but what does this mean for Cameron? will he go to the dark side and become evil, especially since his grandparents I'm sure will fill him on everything. they been wanted to.

Cindy doesn't mess around killing her dad.. she's killed both her parents

and what was she looking for, that can't be good.

I think my main issue with this season finale is that I believe ISA should've beat the new JSA team easily. For me we didn't really get to see JSA train enough to be as good as they are so I was let down. I would've rather the JSA lose, ISA plans got accomplished and during season 2 we found a way to reverse it.

If it was the original JSA then yes I am for it but not the new kids version of JSA, makes no sense to me.

Good thing Starlight and Pat was on the team to make it even 10% believable to me....

**NOLA504** · 08-12-2020, 07:09 AM

Yeah when I was watching the fight I thought there was no way they should be winning this. but it's one of those things I just overlook an just go with the flow.

Yeah I couldn't overlook it because I felt all the ISA got dumbed down and weak to make the new JSA look good. You are telling me that the ISA killed basically everoyne in the OG JSA but the new JSA defeat the main 2 members?

I just didn't buy it so it took a lot out of this episode for me.
I think writers needs to know how to build up stories and let the heroes lose and eventually win.

It would've meant more for me if we saw the young JSA lose badly and come back stronger than ever next season. Young JSA didn't even have Brainwave Jr. so no it didn't work for me at all.

**NOLA504** · 08-12-2020, 07:18 AM

It happens on all shows/movies with superpowers. the power scaling to fit the moment, it's nothing new.

Doesn't mean I have to necessarily agree with it. lol
I dislike the way the whole thing was done. Happy you didn't and you got to enjoy it but I didn't. I didn't felt it was built long enough or deserved. I probably would've if we saw the young JSA have more training scenes or something. I just didn't buy it.

I think the worst for me was knowing it would happen....in my mind I was like "how the young JSA is going to unrealistically win this" and then it happened so it was no element of shock or happiness by me. lol

I am happy for those who enjoyed it though.

**NOLA504** · 08-12-2020, 08:47 AM

Never said you had to agree with it. It just something that always happens and this show is no different. lol I would have love to see more training an smaller mission that they where on to build up their skills/team work. but 13 episode you don't have time for that. lol

**eternalfate** · 08-12-2020, 09:46 AM

^ Which is why I said for me I would've preferred for the JSA to actually lose to prove what Pat was saying all season about how they weren't ready for this fight. During season 1-2, characters like Yolanda and Rick and even Beth and Courtney train to be the strongest they can be over like a 4-month hiatus since when shows jump back into season 2 for the most part, they always skip a few months ahead.

We get to see their journey to how they became better heroes after the tough battles of losing.

Jordan and Henry were defeated way too easily.... I don't believe however that Jordan is dead... Ice'men have ways of reforming

That ending needed to happen because no confirmation on season 2 when it was filmed

I think eclipso will take over Cindy for a while...then hopefully be on his own

Shade will be new leader of isa... Grundy needs to come back too somehow

Interesting, so that's an actual character?

I love happy endings.

Pat is Courtney’s world’s greatest dad.
