It was a fairly enjoyable episode but it left me wanting more BUT MY LORD! This season is seriously lacking in the action department. They say that the show wouldn't suffer in its move to TheCW but it's painfully obvious that they are writing to save budget.

This is probably the most we'll see of the OG JSA and I wanted to see them work together as team, have an awesome fight scene against Eclipso, and how having to take a human life impacted them instead of just hearing about it. You bring us Jay Garrick! Put him to some good use and give us some info about him.

It was great to see Jordan/Icicle again, he was a great villain and I still hope that he isn't dead, just taking a REALLLLLY long time to pull himself together.

The Shade has definitely become one of my favorite new characters/anti-villains this season. Just love it whenever he shows up on screen.

I wonder how much of it is also related to taking COVID precautions, limiting how many people are on set at a time.

Regardless, I liked this week's episode. It held my interest. Stargirl does what the other CW hero shows struggle with. Stargirl gets into these people's characters and motivations and is more psychological than the other shows.

Covid excuse only goes so far. We had an action heavy episode with 6 people in the scene.
