Still have no idea how no one knows that black lighting is Jefferson. I mean that is a big brother with an unusual build... it’s not like it’s that many dudes of that height and size in Freeland. But I’m going to use Superhero Clark Kent logic on this.

still better than what they do on the flash

This is one of the best episodes so far. It gets better and better and compared to the Netflix comic book shows, they have a faster pace to their stories and action. Compared to the other CW shows, it has a grit that none of them have including Arrow. But that would be the closes

Sadly the twist at the end was pretty easy to spot when they showed Ol’ girl in the intro and didn’t show her at all during the episode.


As for the episode... it was just OK to me. There was way to much that it was trying to cram into this hour and there were a couple unnecessary scenes... like the EKG scene. That went on to long...
But they did showcase one thing...

LaLa is the Fucking MVP of this show and is a revelation. He is the cottonmouth of Black Lighting....

His resurrection really makes me hope that Luke Cage is watching this. Maybe they can find a way to bring back Cottonmouth..

I mean Tahiti exists on Luke Cage.. there are ways to bring back people.

the twist at the end was predictable but a VERY pleasant surprise and well acted

And ANY excuse to have that perfect booty around more?

I''m all in

The twist would have sold better if they didn’t show old girl in the previously on section and if Gambi didn’t say anything about finding the spotter. It would have also sold more if they would have showed her every episode. It was just to easy to know it was her.

I was more impressed with dude being the smartest mutherfucker in the town and instantly realizing that Jefferson is black lightning. Took dude 1 episode

agreed...

but you were right this could have EASILY been 2 episodes with a cliffhanger in between.

which is a a compliment to the writers.

Cause I am even MORE invested if that is possible...

sidebar...

what the F*CK is Arow doing?

This episode shows what Arrow could have done EASILY!!!!

@fonzerrillii we have only know BL for like 10 weeks...

and I am more invested with them and understand their motivation more clearly than ANYONE ion Arrow.

Never enough....

Side note this reminds me.... what happened with the black chick on Sleepy hollow. I can’t believe that she isn’t in a newshow.


Ol girl in this picture kind of favors her....

My TV wife is doing well she is doing a lot s stage wrk

We NEED her on one of these shows

SERIOUSLY....

I thought she was gonna be on Luke Cage

EASILY.

His wife on this show is drop dead gorgeous. Don’t think it’ll last past two seasons . Who can’t tell it’s his peanut head ass? Does he vibrate his face like Jay Garrick or something? First time I saw him outside his constume I’d be like ohhhh shit son! You Blak MF Lightening! Probably get blasted or something. That is all

Yeah, no one can see his face. Mentioned it in the first episode.

Yeah but we have to remember it’s on the first season of Black Lightning. It’s the seasons after that I’m worried about. I love what I’m seeing right now but I’m going to need them to start planting more world building seeds.

Right now the show is extremely focused on the core cast and I’m nervous that there isn’t enough there to sustain this as is for multiple seasons. I’ve got to see what Season 2 is going to be about or what happens at the season finale.

Cause here is the problem... we only have 2 more episodes left.


As for Arrow... we must remember that Season 1 of Arrow was a Perfect. Season 2 was a fucking masterpiece ... it was Season 3 that got the Whomp Whomp.

Yeah I get that no recognizes him. It actually makes sense that he would be able to do that with his electrical powers.

The problem with me is Thunder. She doesn’t have those powers and it’s extremely easy to know who she is. They should have let her keep the blonde wig.

I take this piece by piece...

I disagree with your apprehensions...

Black Lightning IS doing excellent world building...

if not?

We wouldn't have complained they had TOO MUCH story line.

Right now we still need the FULL Gambi backstory and the ASA and the vice principal's betrayl

We have why Black Lightning REALLY retired plus flashbacks

Green Light and the potential government conspiracy

LaLa and his resurrection

Toias

Is Lady Eve really dead

We haven't even LEFT Freeland yet...

they have dropped The Outsiders, Supergirl and the Flash references...

and we STILL HAVE TIME for MORE!
