Lanterns is proving that it’s possible to make compelling superhero storytelling on screen, because season one episode six of this show proves it. Back in Rushville, the chickens have come home to roost, as everyone’s longings are on fully display. The question of this episode is why did Hal tell Jon not to tell anyone that he was there?Please!

Even though we have three episodes left, this could have easily sufficed as the last one for the season. In the midst of so much chaos in Rushville, this episode reaffirmed a lot of our premonitions and notions about the plot of this show. Zoe pulls the trigger on her condition to the inhabitants of Rushville, Hal does Jon dirty (again), the aliens go kaboom, and the aftermath of episode five will have long lasting effects. How do you think this series is going to move forward from here?

In an episode full of “agains” and “truths,” we find out who the Manhunter is, what’s actually going on at the ranch in Rushville, why no one was in the hospital, how Jon really likes the company of an older woman, and who Hal placates to. The crux of Lanterns S1:E4 lies on the continued brashness of Hal Jordan and his willingness to withhold and conceal, while actually conceding to some aspects about Jon that he needs a pep talk to get recentered about. Now that the Manhunter is revealed, what’s the mystery going to be for the latter half of the season?Please!

In a fantastic episode of television, we are transported into several parts of Jon Stewart’s origin story. From him being recruited as an infant, to landing the interview of his life, Jon fully divulges his why in regards to his destiny of becoming a Lantern. Hal Jordan still sucks and being Black in this world is very similar to the real world. Based on what we know about Jon after this episode, do we think he even cares that Hal is dead in 2026?Please!

Lanterns on HBO is the DCU’s latest foray into expanding their universe and this couldn’t have dropped at a better time. Off the heels of the not so appealing Supergirl, we are thrusted into a seemingly small, yet large scale alien invasion in the middle of Nebraska. Jon Stewart is the young upstart, while Hal Jordan is the grizzled old vet that doesn’t want to give up the ring just yet. This superhero meets True Detective show has all the vibes and is looking to be a fun run of episodes. What did you make of the last scene of the episode?Please!

In an episode full of secrets and factions that are fully invested in a small town, Jon is proving to be even more worthy of the ring than Hal. Our boy Hal is proving that privilege is playing a clear role in how he operates as a lantern and that gets him in a lil bit of hot water. We get the introduction of our actual big bad and this villain could literally be anyone. Our question for you is how did Jon keep the construct going without the ring?Please!

We are at the end of House of the Dragon season three and we end with The Treasons at Tumbleton and it was a fiery end. Our factions were divided between Kings Landing, Harrenhal, and the aforementioned Tumbleton. There were some major acts of futility, causing many of our characters to shift from how they’ve been moving. Dragons, blood, fire, devastation, betrayal, tragedy, and that’s only a portion of what happened! We have a quote from the episode and we wonder if you have the same one.

Chaos and alliances run rampant in House of the Dragon season three, episode seven. In the penultimate episode of the season, we see all of our factions scraping and vying for some semblance of control. The Tumbleton crew adds a couple of pieces on the board, Mysaria gets to munching, Alicent’s kids are going through it(her too), Rhae is trying to some visions for direction, bros want the same girl and it’s reaching a boiling point!Please!

Spider-Man Brand New Day swings into theaters and we saw the Thursday showing! The movie was packed with die hards, dressed in merch and full on Spider-Man suits. We get some surprise characters, an origin story, and a return to form for one of our favorite MCU characters. This story clearly has him reeling from the death of Aunt May and the death of his friendships with Ned and MJ, while he makes a new friend in one Frank Castle aka The Punisher. This movie is well on its way to a billion and it definitely is worth it! In the comments, let us know what was your favorite scene from the movie?Please!
