I just realized that Dexter's dad is still training his son to murder criminals. He's a bad influence.

He wants so badly to do the right thing without violence. I really liked that scene in the high school gym.

So Whale thinks Black Lightning is dead but it also seems like Black Lightning thinks Whale is dead. Have to wonder how that came about.

Gonna guess Dexter's dad lied to him. Also there will be cheap drama involved when this is revealed

Yea there is no way that Lady Eve and Tobias are the same rank in their organization. Not sure why people thought that either after their first scene together. Also was she doing some freaky voodoo poo poo? :stonk:

I really liked that vigilante justice gone wrong scene. If only she had magical Batman level training to punch people just hard enough to hurt them but not nearly kill them :v:

I hope Khalil doesn't fall for this obvious ploy.

Another amazing episode. Lots of backstory for everyone, hilariously bad(but I assume comics accurate) costume for Anissa and a James Brown beatdown payback.

Tobias and his sister are a good team and great villains.

I must find out the weakness of my enemy. Now let's google what health problems albinos have :v:

Goddamn Anissa's outfit is still hella goofy.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK
Sep 11, 2001



Anissa is a good egg. Now hopefully she will have an outfit to match. The scene between her and Jefferson at the end was :3:

I'm glad this show is using one of the best parts of Luke Cage: the antagonist has their hideout in a music club. :v:

I hope that Lady Eve was the only one who knew the magic resurrection poo poo, or it'll be silly if they just start bringing everyone back.

My prediction for next episode:

Detective: Yo BL I can't believe you killed those people.
BL: Naw I was set up, c'mon man. busy accidentally killing another lady
DT: oh okay, cool.

Where'd they get the Ghostbusters' guns?

Yea that was one of the biggest wtf moments. "Tobias, we can frame Black Lightning by hiring some goons to kill Lady Eve with guns that shoot loving electricity." I guess those are common.

e: vvv Tobias' sister definitely had a good plan. I was more surprised at the existence of LIGHTNING GUNS

Not just lightning guns, nuclear powered lightning guns! :science:

Lala is crazy as hell and it's amazing.

I like that Jennifer discovers her powers and goes to get help right away. None of this keeping it a secret poo poo.

What day do new episodes air domestically? I'm watching it on Netflix UK and caught up to it a few days ago but it puts new episodes up Tuesday if I recall and I'm pretty sure that's a couple of days behind so I want to know when to avoid the thread.

It's Tuesday

Lmao their improvised costumes. Anissa's new costume is way better than her first one. Hard to tell that Gambi made it considering it isn't covered in neon lighting.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK
Sep 11, 2001



Ahaha that old lady trying to drop things on Black Lightning.

I really want to know what Lala's deal is with his murder victim tattoos. Did Lady Eve give him powers? Did he take green light and get them from that while no one was looking? Something Else?

I love that the ASA guy isn't a complete moron and figured out Jefferson was Black Lightning.

I hope they explain why they are just keeping those powered kids on ice. Doesn't seem like they are experimenting on them so why does the vice principal lady have a quota?

I really hope they don't kill the cop friend. That was some solid police work by him.

He's competent and a good cop. Outlook not so good. :ohdear:

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK

Khalil, you have regained your ability to grow hair walk.

I guess we have the answer to the quota question. Yea they were experimenting / training them, but they have a super short life expectancy.

What was that supposed to be under Syonide's skin? Is she a lizard person? :tinfoil:

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK
Sep 11, 2001



Thank you Gambi for the exposition dump for Tobias, Syonide and Khalil. I guess she's not a lizard person :ms:

Tons of exposition this episode that could have been sprinkled throughout the season, but that's just a minor complaint. And it's not like the season was poorly paced or anything.

:rip: Lala again.

I am glad this show got renewed for another season.

So did I mishear Lynn, or did she say "Never mind, I know someone who can help" before they jump cut to the kids being saved? It's probably a S2 hook but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Idk if the kids were saved, but it definitely cut to the news next. Maybe she just had a reporter friend who could expose the experimentation and all those poor kids died

But yea it was definitely an awkward transition so I'm wondering if I missed something super obvious.
