I was surprised they killed off Syonide in the premiere. Definitely didn't expect that to happen.

Quality parenting tonight Jefferson.

C'mon Lynn, that comically evil scientist lady has got to go.

"I'm back."

Is Anissa's girlfriend a comic character? I'm curious what her freaky skin powers are about.

Crazy scientist lady did nothing wrong.

I would be surprised if Gambi was actually dead. Part of me hopes he's actually dead since it would cheapen the reactions of the Pierce family if he came back. Then again this show has no problem killing people off so who knows.

"You made some bad decisions this year, like killing Black Lightning. But you are still my love interest so I can forgive you." :j: Though Jen dropping some truthbombs on her mom was hilarious.

Not really sure why they decided to just add in a random villain with The Looker lady. Hopefully it'll tie back into the first wave of vaccine kids like Jefferson suggested and flesh that out a bit.

"This is very unprofessional. You do this in front of my family" :woof:

Yeah that kind of felt like the show was t-boned by an episode of The Gifted or something. Still, that fight between Tobias and Khaleel was amazingly brutal.

That was a good fight. I laughed when Khalil went for some fancy flying punch poo poo but Tobias just punched him in the chest out of the air.

The biggest revelation tonight(or maybe I wasn't paying attention earlier): Jefferson can turn the neon lights on and off has predator cloaking on his suit.

Tobias did you forget you could turn off Khalil's legs? Or did you just let him think that you could do that?

I stopped watching season 1 after about 4 episodes because it seemed kind of bad. Does it improve a lot?

If you didn't like it after 4 episodes, then you probably won't like the show.

"You're a strong black woman, I can tell. How did you wind up with such a weak rear end son?" :laffo:

Jeez Gambi, I thought you cared about Anissa. Instead you give her a deathtrap 3 wheel atv. Maybe he was just off his game tonight considering he decided to follow Jenifer and Khalil into the woods with a drone that had a giant spotlight attached to it.

And what with birthing & saving babies (one of which was breach), rescuing boyfriend from abusive mob daddy, being righteous teacher & healer, supporting each other and working together to overcome problems... It ain't the powers & costumes which make the Pierce family heroes.

Very much :agreed:. Probably my favorite part of the show tbh. Jefferson and Anissa were good people trying to help their community even before they started doing superhero stuff.

Better listen to your dad Jefferson or he will slam you into the ground. :colbert:

Someone that can teleport AND knows that guns exist? He may be the most competent dangerous meta ever!

Cutter is worth every dollar Tobias pays her if she was able to take out all those cops with just her knives when they had her at range with guns drawn.

In this game you can't just sit back and give the orders. You need some backbone, the willingness to really get in there and do what needs to be done. Tobias has that.

I might have my superhero shows mixed up, but isn't she telekinetic? "Shots miss her that people swear we're dead on, and her knives practically go around corners" was the line if I'm not mixing it up.

Yap now that you mention it you are right. I think it was Gamby who said that about her.

I hope she gets the chance to slap Todd because she really wants to.

Tobias is a delight. I love him taunting Henderson.

Bruceski posted:

I like what they do with the characters. At first Tobias's new tech-boy seemed like he was going to be another Khalil with conflicted emotions. Instead he's all-in and loving it, but still has the enthusiasm and attitude of an amateur.

Ya Todd owns.

I'm glad they finally had a scene of Jefferson back in school. I was beginning to wonder if he took some time off and I just missed the line. Also hahaha the principal is a real piece of work. "Please think of the real victims of racism and oppression: the poor white man."

I like that for as powerful as Blackbird Anissa is, she can still get affected by some pepper spray and overrun. Gambi better put a facemask with oxygen tank on her suit. :v:

Xelkelvos posted:

Another note, they name dropped Markovia and it's meta program. It's a neat seed if they ever want to expand the scope of Black Lightning (I sorta hope they don't).

I guess it's more than a cute reference. They want that sweet sweet meta tech.

Tiggum posted:

Doesn't her power only work when she holds her breath? How did she get out of that situation? Also, Blackbird?

She eventually held her breath and did her thunderclap shockwave thing to knock them all down. The gang member said people have been calling her Blackbird, referring to the vigilante version of Anissa.

Masters of Disaster is a very comic name. I love it.

Bruceski posted:

Todd exited the show like he entered it; suddenly and without anyone really caring.

:rip: Todd

Bruceski posted:

Generally I think that now that Tobias has lost his family he's surrounding himself with people he calls "partners" but sees as completely disposable once their immediate value is gone, in a contrast to the good guys who keep pulling closer together. I doubt even Cutter is immune.

Hey, he still has his painting of his sister :v:

Oh poo poo the return of LaLa. I want him to kill more people so that there will be more and more people in his head entourage for him to argue with. We can rebuild him from his exploded remains, we have the technology giant fishbowl full of goo.

So Grace is some sort of shapeshifter?

ruddiger posted:

What the hell, I didn't even know he was the dude in the car that blew up until I watched this week's recap. Me and my roommate were even asking each other who was the rando who got blown up in the car since they never show Todd's face when he was driving, just his hand sticking out the window. Also, how the hell did I miss that Lala's whole "ghost friends" deal was caused by Tobias? I don't remember that scene at all.

It was Lady Eve that brought him back the first time iirc. So yea Tobias adjacent.

Black Lightning continues to have the best music selection out of all the superhero shows. It's not even close.

Dr Jace is totally going to try and kill Cutter since she feels like she is losing influence with Tobias.

I'm wondering when that teleporter dude is finally going to make it to Freeland. I hope he shows up next week during the finale.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK
Sep 11, 2001



Dr Jace is fantastic. She only has 2 priorities: survival and evil science. Also hurray black Nightcrawler finally made it to Freeland.

Oh gently caress Khalil isn't dead? I was hoping he would stay dead. Maybe he will die next season in the Markovian War

shades of eternity posted:

and maybe, just maybe, we can finally put tobias whale on legends of tomarrow. :)

Tobias has the best evil laugh.

e: Tobias killed / pushed everyone away and now he's in Tron supermax.

The Jefferson's work together and are happy and victorious. :3:

So was there anything new that came out of the DC/CW Comic Con presentation for Black Lightning compared to Flash/Arrow/Legends/Supergirl/Batwoman?

The only thing I saw was a 5 min highlight reel / recap for season 2.

I really hope they do that thing that Krondon was teasing earlier and have Tobias and Jeff forced to work together for their mutual survival even though they still both loving hate each other and are going to go right back to trying to kill each other after the Markovians are dealt with.

The team up everyone has been waiting for! :v: They will probably come to blows right away haha.
