Courtney does seem to show symptoms of attention deficit.
Don't think Pat will make a fighter of Beth, but Chuck might. His patience seems infinite & she listens to him.
Dragon King called Cindy "his greatest experiment." Is there any real family dynamic there? How human is she, really? Without emotional supports, thinking herself superior to everyone else & having no respect for human life, she's a volcano waiting to erupt.
How have the ISA NOT recognized Pat? He didn't wear a mask, especially when he carried Starman out of the trap that destroyed the JSA. Gambler doesn't wear one, nor Icicle. Apparently, recognition only happens when it's in the script!
To be fair, Shiv blindsided Courtney & never let up. I think Stargirl gave a pretty good account of herself, under the circumstances. Sir Justin also blindsided Shiv; he might not have fared so well, otherwise.
One good blow, or for that matter, one injury (like a concussion), can bring a sudden end to ANY fight. Stargirl's reckless cockiness can't help resulting in some hard lessons. The miracle is that she survives long enough to learn them. Then factor in the ADD...
The police report on Rick's parents' "accident" was at least tampered with, if not outright falsified. Local police have apparently been compromised by the ISA for a LONG time.
