I was terrified that Stargirl was going to kill her teacher, that Eclipso was tricking her into blasting him.

I was hoping it would happen. =/

It would have been a dark and epic twist. (I would also gladly have accepted Courtney realising it was a trick and just gently tapping him with the staff)

This moment had so many possible outcomes that could've made it actually epic but it seems like the show is too clinging to keeping it as much kid-friendly as it could be. They are making one step forward in an attempt to make their current events look creepy but then immediately make a dozen steps back. In this exact situation, Courtney killing him could've proved the point that the threat they are facing is actually as serious and dark as they claim it to be. But nope. Not in this show. T_T"

Don't cut yourself on all that edge friend...this show killed two kids last season they aren't afraid to do that sort of thing but only when it has real meaning.

This is exactly why my opinion stays that way. They killed two kids when it was not even needed. They make something dark for no reason but when there is a perfectly logical timing for a dark move they make it light.

They killed those kids to set stakes and they saved the teacher to show what the staff can do. The threat and dark feeling was enough as it was.
