Canada is more litigious than the US?!

Man no one mentioned it but Stripsey and Dr. Mid-Nite had a great little moment after everyone came through the portal- they gave each other a big hug. Not sure why that stood out to me but its nice to see their friendship is genuine.

Hoo-boy, this episode was damn good!

When baby Eclipso got Courtney to say she hated him he broke out an evil little smile and disappeared as if he won something. Maybe a way to tap into Courtney’s dark side and use it against her or turn her? Only two episodes to find out. Of course this is a CW show so it could mean absolutely nothing.

I hope The Shade is not DEAD/ dead. That scamp. He might very well have just faked his own death

I fully expected one of either MacNider or Cindy to wind up still trapped at the end of the episode, so kudos show for not doing that. I also think I like that it didn’t wind up with Courtney pulling Cindy out of the Shadowlands.

Looking forward to best frenemies Courtney and Cindy teaming up in the shadowlands (and maybe rescuing Dr McNider? Or maybe he will sacrifice himself for them).

Nope, the Car is not a Transformer.

Wait, is “the nearly spherical cow of X” a known expression? Why is this a cow comet? Am I missing an important piece of pop culture knowledge?

They’re all good doggies, Mack.

And more like she was the only one who could/would make the hard call to kill Eclipso. I wonder if that’s why he took her out first.

I was genuinely shocked last week when someone, don’t remember who, got into a contemporary car. I’d forgotten they had those in Blue Valley.

Barbara is 100% a villain magnet. Don’t know why, but I’m fine with it.

Am I just somehow missing it, or are the Stargirl review almost never on the front page anymore?  This is the first time it’s been on there in ages, and it’s still “below the fold.”

If Cindy is the host maybe Eclipso sent her into the Shadow-world so that the JSA couldn’t kill her there & re-imprison him 

I think that the distinction between what Yolanda/Mike did and what the original JSA did is that the JSA killed someone who was essentially just another innocent-ish victim of the villain, while Yolanda and Mike both killed people who were actual villains. That’s what went against the mission of the JSA; they were…

- McNider was born in 1914? Was that established in the show itself, or is that the comics version? I’m pretty sure he was in the final battle during Episode 1's prologue, and that was around 2010 in-universe. The beginning of this episode DID say “decades ago,” but that could just mean mid-80's at this point.

The original Ted Grant Wildcat was kind of a jerk. Sylvester and Rex also voted to kill Bruce Gordon but at least they both seemed to feel bad about it. They were all assholes to Pat though, except Jay Garrick. Maybe that sense of douchey entitlement and arrogance was the root of their defeat by the ISA, who at least…

I believe the Shade told Barbara, “I need Emily” (presumably his female relative that she reminds him of?)

I thought this was excellent. I think the character studies have been really effective, even if they’ve been slow. I really appreciated the timeline clarification that this was before the Christmas Day Massacre we saw last season, and that it explained why that happened. The timeline is always going to be a bit…
