DC's Stargirl Series Final Recap
12/7/2022 6:00 pm
We are grateful and disappointed in the same breath. We know that one day while filming season one, Luke Wilson walked into Geoff Johns' office and looked at the story boards he had up. Luke commented, "Wow we're going to cover all that this season"? Geoff said, "no, that's through six seasons"! As we saw last episode, he had surprises waiting for us at least three years in the making! It's so unfortunate we won't know where the other three seasons would have gone. That said, Geoff saw the writing on the wall and prepared to give us a series level season finale just in case. That episode is exactly what we got tonight! Here's what stood out to us:
- Nine Months Ago: We find out nine months ago Sylvester was dug up and his mind was his own. They horridly removed it for the Ultrahumanite to use. The JSA start to figure out that Sylvester isn't working for them, but against them. At the Mahkents, Icicle tells his son that Pat is dead. Cameron tells Courtney where to find Starman. He lies on behalf of his father. Thankfully Pat is able to dig himself out of his grave!
- The Tire Factory: The JSA, Young All Stars and Icicle's team all arrive at the tire factory. Courtney doesn't believe Icicle but does believe Cameron. Just then Pat arrives in STRIPE! Dragon King arrives and Cindy and the Young All Stars engage them in battle all at the tire yard.
- Starman vs STRIPE: The Ultrahumanite targets Pat in STRIPE. The JSA take on the Mahkents. Dr. Midnite and Grandpa Mahkents agree to not fight and form a truce. Grandma Mahkents threatens to kill Grandpa if he doesn't fight but a car falls on her. Hakeem wishes the most beautiful woman in the world wouldn't be bothered by her dad ever again and turns Dragon King into a plushie. Icicle gives Courtney one chance to join them and Barbara shoots him in the neck with an arrow. Cameron turns on his dad when he tries to kill Courtney. Stargirl and Starman face off and she claims the staff her own, revoking Starman's ability to use it. Pat and Ultrahumanite fight hand to hand and Courtney goes to take on Icicle after he threatens to kill his son. Given no choice, Cameron evaporates his father.
- Cosmo Chooses Old Faithful: Cosmo decides to live in his old crate now. Pat reveals he heard what Courtney said about him and being a good dad. Rick asks for forgiveness from his blockheadedness. Beth also apologizes for pushing her parents away. We find out that the Ultrahumanite has had a brain bleed so he is braindead. Turns out Sylvester's brain does still exist!
- Mike Meet's his Mother: Mike goes to the diner to meet his mom. Barbara and Pat wait for him outside the diner. Courtney tracks down The Gambler's daughter and delivers his message. Rick goes to Grundy's grave. Just as he says he misses Grundy, his arm bursts from the ground!
In the final wrap up moments of the series, we join the JSA at the Whitmore Dugan house for a large family dinner. Yolanda decides to tell her mom the truth about her. The truth seems to have brought everyone closer together. Courtney on her walk home visits Cameron and he appears to her. He asks her for help and they hug. Three months later in Denmark, we see that Icicle is still alive! Turns out that Artemis has set a trap for him and she burns him to death! Ten years from now, The Shade is seen giving a tour of the JSA headquarters. The Flash arrives and recruits The Shade as another battle is yet to come!
... and with that, we bid farewell to Stargirl! There are big rumors that Stargirl will appear on Titans season 4 and we'll be looking out for that for sure, but as for the show, this is farewell. Our sincerest thanks to the cast, the crew, and Geoff Johns! This show brought back the superhero wonder that Superman with Christopher Reeve brought. It had scarier villains than most superheros shows with Brainwave and Icicle being ruthless murders! Eclipso being evil encarnate, and back-from-the-dead Ultrahumanite, Dragon King and Icicle reborn! The show set out to bring back superhero wonder and Brec Bassinger's Courtney Whitmore was pure joy. She was superhero inspiration we sorely needed, especially during a pandemic. We always had a shock or smile at the end of every episode. Stargirl was truly a cut above every other superhero show in the market and it will be sorely missed. Thank you to our users for letting us go on this journey with you.

It's a bittersweet moment, as get the gallery for the final episode of Stargirl. On one hand, we get the epic conclusion to a thrilling season that saw a lot of action and drama, but on the other hand, it does mean our heroes will not be gracing our screens again. Sylvester/ Ultrahuminite has been shaping up to be quite a threat, and we have now have nine images, split between some Mahkent family scenes, to the big showdown in the scrap yard. It looks like it'll be an all out battle, and we're curious to see what will come from this. The only thing we can be sure of is that we will be getting a conclusion worthy of a series finale.

DC's Stargirl Frenemies Chapter 12 Recap
11/30/2022 6:00 pm
Only two episodes remain for DC's Stargirl and we are so excited to see them while equally bummed out that this is so close to the end of the series. The CW's new vision for the future doesn't seem to include big budget superhero shows and that led to the decision not to renew for a season 4. But still, after last week's episode, we learned the chilling reality that the Ultrahumanite and Icicle seem to be working together and with the two teamed up, there hasn't been a bigger threat to Blue Valley since Eclipso! How will the young All Stars handle their new teammate? Which side will Cameron pick? Only two episodes left, here's what stood out to us:
- Decades Ago: We open on Deloris accepting an award for her movie. At this point it seems that the Ultrahumanite has taken her body and escaped the JSA. Deloris is hit on by a man that has seen through her deception and she kills him for it. Dragon King then arrives to visit Deloris. She is being hunted by the JSA and wants a new body to run from them. We see the pair develop the plan to make Ultrahumanite in his current form. Barbara, Courtney and Pat all agree that Icicle has to be stopped. He didn't kill the Crocks in self-defense. Sylvester has gone rogue and Artemis mourns her parents at the gym. Sylvester shows up at the Gym and tells Artemis not to kill Icicle but to go to college, because he is going to kill Jordan himself.
- Rick Addicted: Rick is struggling to take off the hourglass. When he does he seems to have immediate withdrawals. Sylvester joins the JSA minus Courtney and Rick to tell them he is going to take on Jordan. Sylvester asks that Wildcat and Dr. Midnite recruit more. Let the JSA live again through new mantles of his old friends. The Young All Stars claim the old ISA base as their own. Jakeem makes a wish on a whim to help Cindy.
- Jordan and Cameron: Cameron tells his dad that he needs to prove that his intentions are good. Jordan suggests that if he can bring in the Ultrahumanite by himself he'll win Courtney's trust. Starman loses it on Pat when the staff wasn't back at home. They don't want to let Starman face Icicle alone. Sylvester calls Pat not a hero and blames him for his death. Courtney overhears everything. She stands up for Pat. Courtney says Starman isn't her hero anymore, Pat Dugan is. Starman calls the staff from Courtney and tells her she isn't worthy of the staff.
- The JSA: The team assembles at Courtney's. They are shocked that he stole the staff. The Young All Stars arrive in a location where they can find answers. Sylvester blasted STRIPE before he left with the staff. Pat talks with Zeke about what Sylvester is doing. He suggests that he is lying to protect them. He'd rather have the team hate him then let them get hurt. Pat has an idea for STRIPE.
- Rick Needs Help: The team sets out to look for Rick but he is already there at the door. He needs help. Pat heads to Jordan's with STRIPE's flamethrower. Cindy finds her dad's lab. Someone's been working in it. Pat finds Starman and reveals he is trying to make things right for the old JSA. Starman didn't mean what he said to the team. The young All Stars find the body of Dragon King. It turns out he put his brain in The Ultrahumanite. Just then Starman hits Pat on the head knocking him out. The Ultrahumanite is actually in Starman's body this whole time! He is aligned with Jordan!
In the final wrap up moments of the episode, Cindy helps the Young All Stars escape new Dragon King. The JSA work on helping Rick. They note that it was Sylvester who told Rick to take off the limiter. Pat awakes in a grave. Starman/Ultrahumanite is slowly burying him. Pat pleads with Starman/Ultrahumanite not to end it like this. The Ultrahumanite reveals he did years of research on Pat and Starman to take on his "role". We go back through many scenes this season and see how Sylvester has actually been sabbotoging the JSA. Sylvester/Ultrahumanite leaves Pat buried alive!

DC's Stargirl Frenemies Ch 11 "The Haunting" Recap
11/16/2022 6:00 pm
Last week's shocking episode has us still on our heals. We know from season 1 that Icicle is a terrorist and extremely scary. He kills anyone that is in his way. Seeing what he did to the Crocks was heartbreaking and we are desperate to see Stargirl to put him back in his place. We don't think that Sylvester will be able to conquer him, he's got too much anger in him. Curious, in true Courtney fashion, can she bring Icicle around to the good side? Personally, we think Icicle is too far gone. Maybe only his son can show him a way forward without all the anger in his heart! Time to find out where we are going with these last three episodes, here's what stood out to us:
- One Year Ago: We go back a year ago to see how Jordan survived being hit by the car in season 1. All the water that was his ice collected slowly in the sewer. Courtney assembles the JSA to put together a plan to recruit the Mahkents to take on The Ultrahumanite. Artemis arrives to ask if they have seen her parents. Jordan returns to his home to find his parents. Cameron is the last to see him and is cautious.
- Snow Globes: Jordan explains to his family where he's been. It took him a long time to reform. Jordan explains why they kept Cameron out of the ISA. Jordan reveals it was Mike who killed him, he says he's forgiven all the JSA because they believed what they were doing was right. Jordan reveals his powers are stronger now. Cameron is still on the fence. Jordan says he wants peace. Artemis goes to investigate a signal from her dad's mask with the help of the JSA. They discover the remains of Crusher and Paula. Artemis is devastated. Pat and Barbara are informed about the Crocks just as Jordan reveals himself to be back at The American Dream.
- I Saw You Die: Barbara and Jordan go to her office to explain how he's back. Jordan seems to know everything from his surveillance. He offers to help fight the Ultrahumanite. Barbara knows he killed the Crocks yet Jordan persists he is a changed man. Courtney explains to Sylvester that Icicle is back and he is pissed. He burns the barn that hid The Ultrahumanite to the ground.
- Hot Head: Sylvester has lost control. With Icicle back, he is losing his mind. Sylvester has made it his solo mission to take out Icicle. Cameron goes to Courtney's house to speak with her. Cameron thinks that the "self defense" line Jordan is saying is true. Courtney wonders if Jordan sent Cameron there to speak with her. He denies it.
- All Stars At Work: Jakeem and Mike think about a wish they can cast to help. They tried to wish Jordan would lose his powers. Taking away his powers will kill him so he can't do the wish. Cindy returns to help the All Stars. Courtney runs into Jordan on the streets of Blue Valley. Jordan makes his pitch to team up. Courtney points out all the murders he's done and she can't forget it. She remains unsure who to trust.
In the final wrap up moments, Zhongshan ponders next steps in front of his snow globes. Artemis paces in her room unsure what to do with her parents being dead. Barbara goes to check on Artemis knowing she is all alone. She offers to let Artemis stay with them. Yolanda calls her mom to hear her voice since Artemis can't. Sylvester, Pat and Courtney meet. Sylvester wants to go after Icicle. Courtney doesn't answer. Icicle and Ultrahumanite seem to be working together! Check out a preview for the next episode, Nov 30th below:
