#Like I think it'd be fun for Artemis until it really really wasn't

Kaz would definitely beat Artemis Fowl, but I think it'd be enrichment in both their enclosures. Also, absolutely just insufferable to watch, but in the best possible way

DC's Stargirl 2.13 "Summer School: Chapter Thirteen" has aired on the CW and I'm here to talk about it

Finale time baby!! Finales are always bittersweet. You know it's gonna be fun but how long will it be until the next season? Season three is obviously confirmed and I think has started pre-production? I'm not sure. Maybe.

A previously on intro, how exciting! I don't think we've had one of these before, definitely not in this season. Maybe for season 1's finale. And a new creepy logo. Love the purple.

Y'all I fucking hate Eclipso Kid so much.

Eclipso ripping open a portal to another dimension, love to see it. I also love to see Rick being a little genius! It's cute. I think Mike is going to finally use S.T.R.I.P.E. here in the finale.

I love the Stargirl, Shiv, and Wildcat trio. Such power! Yolanda fighting Ted Grant (kick his ass bestie), Cindy fighting (???) her young self, Pat fighting a younger him too (assumedly specifically the version that let the old JSA go kill Bruce Gordon). I wonder what kind of effect specifically fighting Ted will have on Yo, especially with that little "you kill one person, specifically Brainwave of all people, and you quit" jab. Maybe it'll be the reminder she needs about how Brainwave is someone who kinda needed to die. I've ranted about this before but we don't know if anywhere that can really hold the super-powerful psychic Brainwave exists. We haven't seen an ARGUS or a DEO. They may exist but we haven't seen them, so killing him was the only solution. He was also lowkey trying to commit genocide.

It seems they can see what the other people are fighting so I'm betting this is one of those "we have to fight each others demons" kind of solutions. Like, idk, Cindy has to beat Ted, Yo has to beat young Pat, and Pat has to beat young Cindy (or any combination). We'll come back to this and see. Or maybe Courtney has to beat their illusions and in doing so she embraces her darkness or whatever, and that's how Eclipso gets her.

Surprisingly good advice from Pat's dad. I can be into that phrase.

Or Beth and McNider are going to save them because they can see the illusions aren't real. That works too. Not as fun but whatever.

Courtney & Cindy work so well together holy shit. Another great example of teamwork. I'm not in the camp of people who want Cindy to be redeemed and join the JSA permanently (though I wouldn't really be mad at that) but I definitely wanna see these two team up like this more. A lot of the action has been really stellar this season. And I love how many of the fight scenes in this show overall are long takes. Really showcases the work the choreographer as well as the cast and their stunt doubles put into making these fights work.

Hello and welcome back to Sheep thirsting for Rick Tyler yet again. He's such a fine man.

I love how this mechanic guy (Zeke??) genuinely doesn't give a single fuck about any of this weird shit. Truly iconic behaviour.

Even the way Eclipso moves is creepy! I wasn't sure if they'd be able to pull this guy off in this show but man has it worked! Gets me really hyped to see Eclipso hopefully get brought into the DCEU one day.

I love the upgrades to S.T.R.I.P.E.!! It's so funny watching Eclipso just get punched in the face by a giant fucking robot. Even he responds like "the fuck is this". And finally, Jakeem Thunder!!!

Rick is so hot in his uniform. And he brought Grundy!! And the good thing about Eclipso fighting Grundy is that Eclipso can brutally murder Grundy and it'll be fine! Because Grundy technically can't die. Ope and I wrote that literally right before Eclipso blasted a giant hole in Grundy. Called it I guess. Something I do also predict (but still might not happen) is a reveal that Rick actually does have super strength even without the hourglass because of reasons and this specific event of watching Grundy get murdered is gonna be the final trigger to unlocking it. Maybe not but it'd be fun.

Who is it Barbara?! Who's "you"?! Clearly whoever Cindy called, but who did she call. Artemis? Tigress & Sportsmaster? Those are the only options that make sense in my mind but who knows.

S.T.R.I.P.E. constantly getting taken out, RIP. Curse you budgeting.

I think Courtney saying that she hates Eclipso one time being enough to let him possess her completely is kind of a cop-out on getting more interesting here if I'm being perfectly honest. It'll be fun to watch her try and kill all of her friends but I think we've could've gotten here in a more fun way. I do, however, love the VFX of the Staff but in purple.

Okay so the Shade is here now. Was he "you"? Not surprised he didn't actually die as I did call it back in whatever episode it was, 11? I'm thinking maybe he isn't "you" though. It seems like he only just now materialized. Like, he was brought out through these two portals in the sky.

OH MY GOD SYLVESTER?!?!?! Okay yeah, he's the "you". He's gotta be. BUT HOLY SHIT!!! We haven't seen you since like the fucking premiere, where the fuck have you been all this time?!? If this is who Cindy called, I have so many questions.

Courtney being saved by the power friendship and family! How cute.

Okay so Artemis, Sportsmaster, and Tigress are who Cindy called. Love it. And Sylvester just also showed up, great timing.

Ha, he literally turned into toast! I love Thunderbolts genie rules.

I like how it's now a requirement that the season finale includes a scene of the kids all hanging out injured together.

There we go Court, the best villains are the ones we can learn from.

Oh, spoiler Beth! Beth is also now the only one who has officially had her title passed down to her. Courtney sounds like she will, but currently Beth is the only official one.

Both of Cameron's grandparents have ice powers?? Sounds like he's being set up to finally be a villain in season three.

Hold on, Cindy wants to join the JSA? Okay, that's a twist. But I could see it working. It'd be nice to see more of her. Is Shade also sticking around?? A fun, weird maybe kinda mentor for the JSA next season? That'd be fun!

Is everyone getting a happy ending? Fun! The Crocks are the new next-door neighbours, aren't they?! Fuck yeah, that's gonna be crazy! Sportsmaster and Tigress teaching the JSA new fighting styles, Artemis can join! It's gonna be an awesome time!!

Post credit scene??? Oh, Mr Bones is so gross! But he could be a fun main villain for next season. I know he has a connection with these characters in the comics but I really only know him from his more recent adventures and relationship with the D.E.O. and Kate Kane. Those probably won't be relevant but who knows, maybe we'll get a surprise.

It's always a sad time when a season of your favourite show ends. It's probably gonna be another full year before we get to see them back for season 3. I'm really excited for season 2 to be up on HBO Max so I can rewatch it all in one big sitting. I absolutely love binge-watching. I really hope y'all enjoyed both this season and seeing my thoughts about it every week. The wait for season 3 is going to really suck but I'm really excited to keep up with how production is going. For more Stargirl, Courtney has become Stargirl on HBO Max's Young Justice. How much of her we'll see is anybody's guess but she is there and that has new episodes every Thursday with episode 5 this week.

Until next time.
