Those ISA scenes are just amazing!
Henry and Jordan are villains yet such different characters. Jordan still has more human feelings inside of him where as Henry Sr. fell off. Also, we see how much Jordan has grown to truly care for Barbara which is slowly saving Courtney death at this point.
When you watch these scenes you can truly see that Jordan's main motivation is the last words of his wife... she wanted him to stay on the evil path...
Henry Sr. killed son and wife so he is all about the ISA cause to no end however Jordan is all about the ISA cause as well even though he may feel conflicted, in the end he will be for the cause. I will assume that the main one who's off limits for him is his son but we'll see.

Also Jordan looking through the browsing history for browser... yeah this is why you do not use your work computer for personal information because stuff like this can always happen. lol


Justin the Janitor is actually Shinning Knight and I enjoyed the the reveal of that and how he was in another group outside of the JSA one and luckily he remembered to contact Pat. His mind was really playing tricks on him but I like how things kinda came well rounded for him from start to finish of the episode.

Courtney finds out the show that her father was not Starman but some deadbeat ... like what a complete downgrade from the hero she thought was her dad. Her reaction to denial to acceptance to disappointment was down very well even if I felt bad for Courtney. I mean it probably would've felt a little better for Courtney is her dad was at least a decent man but he wasn't much of that which is why Barbara cut ties with him.
I did love Geoff Stults in the role as Sam Kurtis, I felt he did a brilliant job and Sam was very worthy of that punch in the face from Pat.

The Barbara and Courtney scenes were amazing.
It's great we got to watch a great mother and daughter scene of Barbara wondering how she should handle what's next to do.

Courtney is in such a tough spot since she believes everything she's been doing has been a lie pretty much.



The only member of the young JSA who has a tie by blood is Hourman... dang.
However, Courtney should realize that the staff chose her because the hero was in her.
The staff always known what was in her.... she was always meant to have it whether she was Starman's daughter or not and she also blames the deaths of Joey and Henry on herself... that's a lot of weight on her shoulders.

I love that Pat made sure Courtney realized that from the beginning, the staff knew who she was... the only difference when it wasn't working was that she didn't believe in herself so it stopped working for her. Which brings me to the Pat and Courtney scenes! I loved each scene they've had! Especially the scene when she cried on his shoulder.


Henry memorial at school? Umm.... didn't expect that. lol
To be honest I still have difficult time believing he's dead and Henry King Sr. is an absolute joke. He is saying the speech about his son like he was father of the year.
I liked that Henry Sr. told Icicle right away about everything he knows and went revealing identities and reading minds like a boss...
I think the power play in a way between Jordan and Henry Sr. was my favorite thing of the episode.... I am just more intrigued by the villains... but the Courtney story was sad and very well done and I love how the end she had Pat and Barbara by her side as she had the belief again for the staff can work. Also poor Mike, always in the dark. I like how we see it slowly affecting him.

this was my least favorite episode of the season so far, kinda weak.

glad they finally put an end to Court believing Starman was her dad. even tho her bio dad is a complete jerk. Pat did right to punch him. I'm glad Courtney was opening up to Pat about everything, question if she is meant to be Stargirl.

Brainwave is a complete villain an doesn't apologize about it. I actually find that refreshing.
I hope the writers are done with this Icicle having feeling for Barbara stuff was never a fan of it. something just felt weird about it.

We didn't get any Yolanda scenes of her dealing with Henry's death. just mention she went to church to pray for him.

I hope The Shining Knight memories are back to normal now.

im glad we finally got a backstory of sorts on the Janitor. learning he was the shining knight was pretty cool. glad he remembered enough to go to Pat for help. so somehow he managed to time travel with the dragon king? and then he got his memory wiped or damaged somehow (I assume by brainwave) .

I liked the Pat/Courtney scenes. im glad she has him to lean on when she found out that her bio dad was a deadbeat. Sam deserved that punch in the face.

When I heard Barbara say that they should contact the "government" about Brainwave I thought "Yeah. They should try to make contract with the current U.S. current government & our president. I'm curious how that conversation would go. Pat punched Courtney's dad & he just said that Barbara looked good. Not as good as in the past though, which isn't exactly a lie.

^ Yeah but a pretty jerky thing to say to her new husband. I can kinda understand pat beating him. I also doubt he will use the money from these two necklaces to invite courtney, he likely will just buy some booze from it lol.

That is part of what's odd about him showing up after so long. He does have Courtney's thing that she gave him still I think. Guess he could send it to her before they move.
