Stargirl on the CW

While her character and that of stripe / Pat is being done very true character, and most of the character storylines fornher Cindy/Shiv are true to the stars and stripe comic that aspect isn't.

There was a crossover with Silver Surfer where it was referenced with the power her Rod uses is the same cosmic power used by the Silver surfer. In another storyline (and several tellings of origin) Ted night discovered this energy that linked all stars and celestial bodies and used it as a power source for the rod, somehow syncing the rod to it.

It was able to be mentally controlled by both Jack and Courtney from a distance, but didnt show life of its own

What crossover are you referencing? I’d like to see that...!

First time seeing this. It's so obscure, it never even got packed into torrent megaarchives.

Man I’ve always liked those mashup covers...👆

good to see shining knight.. i suspected cindy would put on some sort of costume

overall felt it was solid episode

Good touch to have Brainwave's son learn of his powers during an exam, writers who can think somewhat sets this show apart a little.

I remember taking that formula to my math teacher in Junior High. He said it made no sense!

Classic Johns throwing in references like that.

Good episode. Looks like Shining Knight is a sure thing.

Shining Knight is my favorite DC Knight, so I’m a happy guy!

hopefully he'll wear the armor

^^^oh heeeeellll yeah!

I expect we'll see him in full regalia with winged victory in episode 11. Its titled shining knight on a few sites. When I first saw a list of titled episodes it went Shiv part 1, shiv part 2, Brainwave, Brainwave Jnr, Stars and Stripe 1, stars and stripe 2, untitled finally. Now I see Shining knight after Brainwave Jnr and the stars and stripe titles moved back.

You put this show up against the CW shite which is unwatchable and you see what a fun teen super hero show should be.

^Agreed. I think this is where actors like Luke Wilson really pay off, due to his background him being in the show appears light-hearted and causes the viewer to not take the show too heavily. Be totally happy to let a kid of practically any age watch this as it doesn't appear to be going 'full steam ahead' with social issues/politics.

Let's be real for a minute though, how obvious would it be to a super villain who Stargirl and Captain Autism (Dr. Midnite) are?

This stands even more after the last episode, Stargirl and Shiv have a fight not 5 minutes after Courtney tells Cindy she wants to go to Prom, even if Shiv didn't hear Pat calling her Courtney, (no fault of his though, he didn't know she would be there as Stargirl) how stupid would she have to be not to recognize her as Courtney? I'm waiting to see what American football chick will do, not familiar with the comic books so I'll just call her Tom Brady-Lady.

If this show were more of the same, you would've already seen Pat go in full brood mode over Courtney and her friends starting their own JSA or something.

But yeah, I mean if this show keeps up with its reception, the other CW DC shows could end up taking a page from it far as being more consistently fun and less riddled with drama/social issues/politics/etc.

more consistently fun and less riddled with drama/social issues/politics/etc.

The bar seems to raise, just a little each episode.
Loving this show so far. Still not as good as Doom Patrol or The Boys but its a quality comic based show I can watch with my kids (which I cant with the ones I rate above it)

How old are your kids if you don’t mind my asking?

season 2 is coming...
