Stargirl's long awaited return is worth the wait, and I am still geeking out over everything.
The opening scene was spine chilling, and it looked like something straight out of a horror movie. Eclipso's young child actor was very creepy. What really shocked me about the opening was that the girl that Eclipso attacked was Dr. Mid-Nite's daughter. Excellent opening for the season, on par, if not better, than the opening scene of season 1.
Courtney and the team searching for bad guys was an excellent present day opening. Brec Bassinger has not lost her charm as Stargirl, and the chemistry between the team is still strong.
The quick scene with Courtney up at 4:00 AM had me laughing due to Pat telling her about what happened to the other members of the ISA. Luke Wilson's chemistry with Brec has not lost its touch at all.
Yolanda's story line about her dealing with her guilt of killing Brainwave was very emotional. While I understand her guilt, she had no choice. Yvette Monreal absolutely crushed her performance. I really think that Eclipso is coming for her, and like I predicted, I think she will die at the end of the season, but she will be at peace. I hope I am wrong, I do not want her to die, she is one of my favorite characters on the show.
Artemis Crock's quick scene had me dying of laughter. Stella Smith's performance was really good, I see a lot of Sportsmaster and Tigress in her. Her insult to Courtney had me dying of laughter.
Courtney having to attend summer school, which put Pat's plans for a family vacation on indefinite hold was kind of funny, due to the fact that Mike Dugan, which Trae Romano absolutely crushed, will be happy. I love the dynamic between the Whitmore-Dugan family, and I hope the show doesn't loose that at all.
Green Lantern's daughter, Jade, arriving at the house to get the Green Lantern ring charger, or whatever it is called, had me laughing and geeking out as well. The fight between her and Courtney was very well shot and choregraphed, and the destruction they caused to the house had me dying of laughter. The visuals on the ring looked very real as well. Luke Wilson's one liner at the end has me in stitches.
Beth finding out her parents are getting a divorce was very sad. Beth is probably the character I feel most sorry for. Her parents don't interact with her much, and the fact that she can't fix the goggles properly makes me feel for her. Anjelika Washington sells her performance perfectly.
Rick looking for Solomon Grundy was an interesting story line. I wonder what kind of role Grundy will play this season, it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up teaming with the JSA to take down Cindy and Eclipso.
Icicle's son Cameron returning was very interesting. I am kind of shocked that his grandparents did not tell him the truth about his father, but Cameron's grandfather probably respects his late son's wishes to keep the truth from him. Cameron's grandmother is wicked, and I wonder if she will tell Cameron the truth.
Zeek, the junkyard man from the first season, finding about Pat having the robot was hilarious, due to the fact that he was nonchalant about it. I am excited that he is going to install a flamethrower to Stripe. Should be very good.
Sylvester Pemberton/Starman's quick scene was very interesting. I am still questioning if that really is Starman. If it is, why is he now searching for Pat, and where has he been all these years. The reveal that the waitress waiting on him with Pat's ex wife stunned me. Hope this story line is interesting.
The quick name drop of Jakeem Thunder by Pat was great. Hope he gets the pen very soon.
The ending with Cindy returning to the high school was excellent. The reveal that she is going to try and recruit Isaac Bowen, Artemis Crock, and Cameron Makhent had me excited. But what really shocked me was the reveal that she is now going to try and recruit Mike Dugan to her new team. My jaw hit the floor at that reveal, should be interesting. Eclipso's voice at the end was very creepy, hope the show delivers on the potential that this villain has.
Looking forward to the Shade arriving next week. I truly believe that he is on the hunt of Eclipso. We shall see though.
Out of a 10 I would give it...
