Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 11: Shining Knight: Review

Quick review.

The 11th episode of Stargirl wisely saves the action scenes for the last two episodes, and finally answers the question as to who Courtney's father really is, and also delivered on some powerful emotion, great dialogue, the ISA finally getting ready to make their move, and powerful performances from Brec Bassinger and Luke Wilson, to deliver another great episode to this outstanding season.

Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 10: Brainwave Jr.: Review

The tenth episode of Stargirl is easily the best, due to its powerful emotion.

The story line involving Pat and Barbara was a great story line. I love the fact that she is now helping the JSA, and I have a feeling that she is going to end up using that pen that Courtney took from the old JSA headquarters.

The story line involving Brainwave waking up was no doubt the best story line I have ever seen, on a superhero show. I was surprised at how much more info we got on Brainwave, and we find out how evil he is really is, as it is revealed that he killed his wife, and that his brother in law was Starman.

The fight between Dragon King's zombies, and Courtney, Henry Jr., and Yolanda was another great fight scene. I loved that it showed that Courtney can still hold her own, even without the staff. I also loved the reactions by Stargirl and Wildcat when they saw Dragon King without his mask on.

The one fight scene I am looking forward to seeing is between Solomon Grundy and Hour man, due to the emotion that will be featured in that fight.

The final scene between Brainwave and Brainwave Jr. was the most powerful scene in this show, and more sadder than anything I have seen on The Flash, Arrow, and Gotham. Henry Jr. getting killed by his own father, because he wouldn't join the ISA, was one of the saddest scenes ever. Jake Austin Walker delivered an outstanding performance, and I am sad to see him go. It will not surprise me if they do end up bringing him back, due to the fans that liked him.

As to who Stargirl's real father is, I have a gut feeling that it is the janitor that works at the high school. Because of the way he kept looking at her, and because it would make sense as to why he is almost obsessed with the staff. I also think that he is the one who created it.

Overall, thanks to a tear jerking final scene, strong visual effects, advancing the plot extremely well, well shot action scenes, great plot twists, and a powerful performance by Jake Austin Walker, Stargirl's tenth episode is no doubt the best, and one of the greatest episodes of any show that I have ever seen.

Back from my vacation, so this will be a short review.

Stargirl's 9th episode continues to reveal more secrets, while still advancing the plot very well, and features some great humor, more character development, a strong backstory for Brainwave, a surprising ending and hilarious ending, a great dinner scene, the final scene with Henry King Jr., and strong performances from Neil Jackson, Luke Wilson, Christopher James Baker, Jake Austin Walker, to deliver another outstanding episode of Stargirl.

Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 8: Shiv Part 2: Review

The plot continues to advance well, and the action scenes get better and better each week.

Stargirl's 8th episode is another excellent episode, and a very suspenseful one at that. Henry King Jr. has developed his powers and it will be interesting to watch the ISA and the JSA try to convince him to side with them. The team breaking into Cindy's house reminded me so much of those old thriller movies, and I am loving the buildup to what Dragon King can do.

Icicle's plan is mostly revealed, and you can totally understand where he is coming from. I am loving that they have made him a sympathetic villain, and not a cold villain with no heart.

The next episode looks to be getting better and better. And I found out that Stargirl was just renewed for a 2nd season, and while I am happy that it is, I am a bit disappointed that it will air on the CW and not on the DC Streaming Universe. But oh well, I can live it.

Overall, everything about this episode is great, and I am loving the tone and direction that this show is taking.

Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 7: Shiva Part One: Review

A lot of things are happening for me right now, so I am going to have to start writing small reviews until I can get some free time.

More secrets are uncovered in episode 7 of Stargirl, and they are great. Dragon King and his daughter Shiva are revealed and they are perfectly written, and I loved the reveal that the Janitor is a member of the  original JSA. Courtney got her butt handed to her, and she needed it. Henry King Jr. begins to develop his father's powers more, which offers plenty of intrigue. And I loved the interactions between Jordan and Courtney, Icicle and Jordan, and the dialogue in this episode.

Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 6: The Justice Society: Review

More ISA members are revealed, while the JSA is finally formed.

The opening with Sportsmaster and his wife Tigress' opening scene with them killing a coach was a surprisingly brutal opening, but it made you realize how much of a threat they are.

Pat and Courtney arguing about her recruiting members for a new JSA was a well acted scene from the both of them. Luke Wilson needs to keep having these kind of moments on the show, as he is arguably the best actor on the show.

The battle between the JSA and Tigress and Sportsmaster was a very well done action scene. The way they shot it and the choreography was flawless. The villains are a dangerous duo, and it makes you wonder how much stronger other members are.

Mike and Amy bonding at the science fair was a nice moment for both characters. They could not have chosen a better actor to play Luke Wilson's son, as he looks and sounds just like him.

Pat arriving and saving the JSA was a cool moment also. The team also realizing that they need his help was a great moment for all the characters. Pat also agreeing to train the team was great. I am looking forward to see him step into the mentor role more.

The final scene with the ISA was the best scene in the episode. I love how certain members of the group can't stand each other, which was able to create some hillarious dialogue, such as Sportsmaster calling the Fiddler Mozart (That quote had me in stitches). I am also very intrigued by what their plan is, hope that they start spilling information on it soon. 

I really hope Brainwave returns very soon, as his presence will only make the show better. And it will be great seeing most of the ISA in a meeting. I am also curious as to what they need Brainwave for, and I wonder if they will end up using Brainwave Jr. instead to help with their plans. Should be interesting.

Overall, the sixth episode of Stargirl advances the story line well, while still keeping you guessing at what they plan on doing, and features some well written dialogue, and strong performances from its cast.

Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 5: Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite: Review

The new JSA continues to form, while the Injustice League's plans continue to unfold.

The opening flashback with Hourman and his wife had a different feel to it. It reminded me a lot of the Amazing Spider-Man franchise, in a good way. Solomon Grundy arriving and killing them was a shock.

Beth Chapel becoming Dr. Mid-Nite was a surprise as well. I loved the personality of the character, and the actress does an excellent job as this character.

The new Hourman is an interesting character. He could easily end up becoming a villain. I hope that they try to develop him into a more interesting and likeable character, as he was kind of annoying in this episode.

Brainwave's son Henry King Jr. getting his fathers powers has so much potiential. They could either have him follow in his fathers's footsteps, or become a new member of the Justice Society of America, either way I am really excited to see what they do with him.

I am really interested to see who the final members of the JSA will be. Green Lantern's ring being shown was a great twist, and I am looking forward to Pat confronting Courtney about trying to recruit new members behind his back.

The ending with a shipment coming into Blue Valley that is for the Injustice League is interesting. I really hope that they revela what their plan is very soon, and who the other members of the Injustice League are.

Overall, Stargirl's fifth episode is another great one, and it continues to advance the plot very well, while keeping its intrigue at the same time.
