7/29/2020 4:49 pm
This is it! The final episode of Stargirl finally has a gallery. Much like the gallery from the penultimate episode of Stargirl, the gallery is small so that there is much given away via the spoilers. You certainly want to experience all the show's twists and turns as they happen on screen! That said there is a bit of a hint we can see from the four new images for "Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part 2". The team is suited up and in full force! Rick has a scene without his mask on while still in the Hourman costume. It looks like the whole JSA including STRIPE and sir Justin will arrive in the tunnels of Blue Valley to flush out the ISA! Check out the new images below!

Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part 1 Trailer
7/29/2020 10:07 am
Much like a chess board, the pieces have been manuvered into place and there are only a few final crucial moves that remain before a victor can be crowned. The JSA know who the members of the ISA are, the ISA knows who the members of the JSA are. Brainwave has successfully convinced Icicle that the Whitmores need to die and once more, Icicle has added Mike to the list. We don't think there could be a better stage set for a massive season finale of Stargirl! Looking ahead to the trailer for the first part of the season finale, we see that the enforcers of the ISA have been set to wipe out Courtney and Pat. Tigress arrives at the Whitmore home and Sportsmaster heads to the Pit Stop! Check out a preview for what's in store next week below:

Shining Knight Recap
7/26/2020 10:50 am
After the events of last week's Stargirl, The JSA could really use a big win in their corner. The loss of a potential and extremely power ally has landed heavy on the team. This week, Courtney is troubled by a new strange visitor from her past and an old friend of Stripesy's finally is able to come and ask for the aid he so desperately needs. Today we got definitive answers on who the Janitor is, what has been done to him and finally who is Courtney's real father! This episode pulled at the heart strings yet again with emotionally charged moments between Pat and Courtney as well as Justin the Janitor! Only two episodes remain in season one, here's what stood out to us:
- Horses: We catch up immediately with Justin the Janitor looking at the horses. He's trying to find his horse but he is chased away by the rancher. Catching a look at the American flag, Justin remembers that he saw Stripsey and he begins to seek him out. We cut to Courtney's father arriving at Courtney's house. It isn't Starman. Barbara, Pat and Courtney discuss the murder of Henry Jr. Barbara, now knowing the secrets, is working on the team now.
- Courtney's Dad: Courtney can't handle that Sam is her father. She was so convinced that Starman was her dad, her confidence is shattered. If she isn't Starman's daughter, then she is responsible for Henry Jr. and Joey's deaths. Mike comes in to get answers but he is so fully in the dark. Pat yells at him and Pat realizes what he's been doing to Mike. Downstairs, Barbara and Sam talk. Sam says he's here to get to know his daughter before it's too late. The pair head out for a walk.
- Shining Knight: Justin makes it back to his janitor's closet. He has an ad that Pat put in the paper. Justin knows that he is at The Pit Stop. Courtney and Sam share a walk and Sam tells her a memory that Courtney shares. This is more proof that Sam is her real dad. At the Pit Stop, Beth and Rick are working on Rick's dad's diary. Justin finally makes it to the Pit Stop but his memories are so damaged he sees The Dragon King instead. Pat is able to talk him down. Pat can finally help Justin regain his memories.
- Brainwave: With his full memories restored, Brainwave goes to Icicle. He tells him who Stargirl is. He wants to kill Pat and Courtney but Icicle's feelings for Barbara cause hesitation. Brainwave reveals that killing his son has given him more power. He can now reach half of America, not just six states. Brainwave then tells Icicle to make up his mind fast or he'll do it for him. Pat shows Justin a photo of their old team. Pat asks Justin to tell him the story of how he got Excalibur. It turns out that Sir Justin was trailing Dragon King after his old team broke up. He was going to kill Dragon King but he was captured and reprogrammed like Dragon King does. They made him a janitor to shame him. Pat takes Justin back home. They believe now that the ISA is planning a mass reprogramming. Barbara sets up Justin in the guest room.
- Dirt Bag Dad: Turns out that Courtney's dad is a turd. He's there for money. He asks for Courtney's locket back so he can sell them and get a place. Courtney buys into the garbage her dad is selling and gives him the locket. Once he's got it, he is already headed out the door. Pat offers to let Courtney yell at him or whatever else she needs. She realizes that Pat has been more of a dad to her than anyone and goes for the hug. Barbara catches the two hugging and smiles. Pat goes to catch up with Sam and knocks the shit out him!!! Courtney goes to touch the staff but it doesn't work. Courtney's will is what can power the staff but she has been shaken to her core with her dad showing up.
- Playing IT with Icicle: Jordan goes to see what is on Barbara's computer. She's deleted her history but Icicle's IT restores it. Back at school, Courtney goes to tell the team that she isn't Stargirl. The Staff won't work for her anymore. At a memorial for Henry Jr., Brainwave gives a speech on behalf of his son. The JSA is in the audience. They all sit worried. Brainwave reaches out to Courtney blaming her for the death of his son. He dares them to come at him. Courtney in a panic heads home. She needs the staff to work so she can protect the town and her fellow JSA members. Pat gives her a pep talk. "Heroes can come from anywhere". Courtney is left alone to consider how to use the staff, instead she comes up and asks for both Barbara and Pat to join her. With the support of both her mom and step-dad, the staff is activated and begins to glow brighter than we'ver ever seen. Stargirl returns!
With the ISA and JSA knowing who each other are, there's nothing left to do but fight! In the final moments, Icicle green lights the murder of all the Dugans and Whitmores! Even Mike, "we don't want a legacy running around do we?" Season finale part 1 is next!

Exclusive Interview with Anjelika Washington
7/23/2020 9:44 am
Today we have another very special privledge, we were able to ask a few questions of the new Dr. Mid-Nite, Beth Chapel herself, Anjelika Washington! We explored what it was like to dress as a superhero, favorite moments while filming Stargirl, early research that Anjelika did, and a question around that beautiful owl, Hootie! Check out our exclusive interview with Anjelika Washington (AKA, Dr. Mid-Nite) below:
Stargirl.tv: Your character kind of stumbles upon her role in Stargirl. Since you've been revealed as the new Dr. Mid-Nite, we have to ask, did you do any work with the owl? If so, what was it like?
I love Hootie in the comics! I cannot reveal if I will have the owl in season 1, but the owl that everyone saw with Courtney in the old JSA headquarters was definitely a real owl!!
Stargirl.tv: Since Stargirl comes from the comics, did you do any research ahead of time and read some of Geoff Johns' work?
Yes, a little. I read the first 8 Stargirl comics during the audition process. I was so confused because my character name was ‘Rachel’, and there was no Rachel in the Stargirl Comics. Then, the night before my screen test, they told me it was for a superhero named Beth Chapel who is Dr. Mid-Nite. I had NO CLUE!! I thought I was just a friend of Courtney’s in the school haha! So that night I looked her up a bit, but I did not read Infinity Inc. or JSA until after I booked the role.
Stargirl.tv: Hunter Sansone & Cameron Gellman tell stories of how you would lighten the mood on all those late night shoots by breaking into song. How did you handle the late night shoots, and what's a favorite memory you have from working on set?
They are completely right— I love music, musicals, and dancing, so I always try to keep the fun! I think a positive attitude always helps to get through a scene at 4am and a 16-hour day of filming. One of my favorite memories was filming the Halloween party in episode 5. We blasted Lizzo, ate cookies, and danced so much it really felt like a party!
Stargirl.tv: Fans got a brief look at you and the other JSA members on the crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths". What was your reaction the first time you saw yourself dressed as Dr. Mid-Nite?
It was SO COOL! I was on set filming a Netflix movie when I was sent the clip before it aired and I remember I started screaming and everyone was like “Are you okay?!"
Stargirl.tv: You've done a lot of great volunteer work with the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Amid this terrible Covid-19 outbreak, are there things fans can do to help?
I love CHLA! They are always taking donations! You can also donate toys!
