Stargirl – The Killer

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: – Chapter Ten: The Killer
  • IMDb: link

In an episode that gives us Mike (Trae Romano) and Jakeem (Alkoya Brunson) working their way back home to warn of the Ultra-Humanite, attempts to broker peace between the JSA and the Mankents, and (as the title suggests) the reveal of our killer, “The Killer” is most notable for the final appearances of Crusher (Neil Hopkins) and Paula (Stella Smith). Having started their run on the show as low-card villains which slowly became comic-relief neighbors, the Crocks did warn me over and their final appearance gives us them work separately and together as true friends of the heroes and loving parents to the young woman they will leave behind. For Stargirl to make me care about the pair’s deaths it a testament to the investment made in both characters.

“Chapter Nine” picks up the pieces of the season so far with Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and Pat (Luke Wilson) returning to Blue Valley both still feeling the aftereffects of their experiences in the Shadowlands. For Courtney this means apologizing to her friends and choosing to tell Cameron (Hunter Sansone) the truth about his father and the JSA’s involvement in his death which is preempted by an out-of-control Rick (Cameron Gellman) leading to the season’s biggest action sequence. For Pat that means beginning the search for Mike‘s (Trae Romano) mother. Speaking of Mike, he and Jakeem (Alkoya Brunson) continue their search for the missing Cindy (Meg DeLacy) still hoping to recruit her.

  • Title: Stargirl – Chapter Seven: Infinity Inc. Part One & Chapter Eight: Infinity Inc. Part Two
  • wiki: link / link

Although part of the two-part episode deals with the JSA taking down the cameras spread across the city, the death of the Gambler (Eric Goins) is put on hold for a couple of weeks while Stargirl picks up the threads of Jennie (Ysa Penarejo), her brother Todd (Tim Gabriel), the corruption of the Green Lantern’s ring, and a return to the Shadowlands. Although the others get dressed up in taking out the cameras, and Sylvester‘s (Joel McHale) voice is heard over internal comms, we don’t get an appearance by either Starman or Stargirl. Although Courtney (Brec Bassinger) never suits up in the story, she proves to be the hero needed to save both Jennie and Todd while working past her recent self-doubt.
