Well since the IJS got mostly taken out, I guess next season Stargirl and the JSA will take on their greater foe yet...The Terrible Tuba! Or the Tuba Tyrant? The Torrential Tuba? 

Tubad - Master of the Brown Note.

In an episode with a zombie, an ice man, mind control, etc. the most unrealistic thing is that apparently NO students whipped out their cell phones to record the giant satellite dishes popping out from under the football field.

I assume with the ending and the Xmas picture and the use of a polaroid camera, which I would think would be in the Smithsonian, that maybe the cell phones don't have camera's?

Eclipso 

Interesting. I thought the gem looked a bit pinkish and thought they were hinting at Star Sapphire.

"Pinkish"? Like the giggling pink pen?

Sort of. Star Sapphire wears a gem on her forehead, was often a member of the IJS, and a foil for the Green Lantern. I was just assuming whomever took up the lantern next season would have a counterpoint. Plus I am unfamiliar with Eclipso.

Technology in this world is strange, but there was a whole plot point of pictures taken from Yolanda's phone. 

That said, maybe after that incident, cel-phone cameras were banned, or maybe the teens were too busy being freaked out.

 

But mostly, thanks, Stargirl, for being the show we needed when we needed it most.

Time IS wack in this world, with 10 years back flashbacks often looking like they're set in the 1950s or 60s, while "Current Day" has computers and cellphones...

Ha!  Good one. If less killy sounding, maybe "TubaLad"?  Or to honor the parents... "The Tubler"? 

NITPICK/Point of order: it's ISA not IJS. The comics definitely use it so, but I'm also strongly of the impression (no specific memory admittedly) that they've used the abbreviation (as well as "JSA") at least once on the show, although more typically I think they use the full name but leave off the "of America" part.

That's it?  Brainwave gets taken out by a quick slash and Icicle is so brittle that a collision shatters him?  Were the original JSA not even trying?

Stargirl did hit icicle with a huge blast from the staff first that probably weakened him and Brainwave let his guard down because he ... wanted to be a dick to Henry's girlfriend.

Yeah, just because Brainwave can use his brain to do everything from erase memories to create TK shields doesn't mean he magically isn't as frail as any other human. Icicle, showed he was blasted very hard by Stargirl was caught between both forms and why Mike smashed him with the car.

I loved this!

Brec Bassinger is superb as Stargirl.

If I had a criticism it would be that I would have liked to have seen more of Cameron.
