Previously, we made a pitch for those of you who hadn't seen the show Black Lightning to go watch it. And hopefully you did that, because in this episode we are talking about Season One of Black Lightning!
Season 1 Highlights
- Has both elements of an origin story and story about an established superhero
- Anissa is freaking bulletproof Black lesbian who is ALREADY OUT
- Family dynamics
- Scenes that made us cry:
- Jefferson deciding that he needed to become Black Lightning again in Episode 2
- Jefferson talking to his father in Episode 13
- The Pierces protecting each other in episode 13 (especially Jennifer)
- Social justice angle rather than a good vs. evil ethos; characters working both inside and outside the system for change
Season 2 Thoughts: premieres October 9
- Grace?
- What will continue from the ASA storyline given it was Proctor's personal project?
- Tobias Whale has the briefcase the ASA scientist said he needed. What's in it?
- Lynn said she knew someone who could take care of the metahuman kids from the experiment. Who?
