Good lawd...I am getting way to emotionally attached to this family I kept yelling at the girl so much my real daughter thought I was talking about her.
She was not embalming a live body.
Damn reminds me of one of our family holiday dinners
I appreciate the humor...
And I liked how he actually tried to warn two bit first...

Yeah that part was funny.
That scene kinda reminded me of GoT when we were first introduced to tywin Lannister
In the comics? Tobias relationship with his sister is "complicated "
I like the love triangles and conflicts
Gambi the ex and lightning
BL with the VP and the ex
BL with his school his family and being a hero

I like that we have no desire what Gambi real motivations are
I like how the crippled boy was so easily corrupted...
It wasn't the money or gifts
It was his dismissive reaction to his girlfriend quitting track.
He instantly showed how the event cracked him.

The VP donk has finally been recognized by the producers as one of the true stars of the show.
Interesting. ..
Looks like Lynn really works for some type secret ARGUS like unit.

yeah what was up with that
lady eve dose not have any powers so what was the meaning of that
Is it odd that I’m more invested in the family drama then the superhero part right now. I think right now my main issue is that I fucking hate the theme song and right now the fight scenes are not up to my normal standards.
for a SECOND I thought that was some voodoo magic stuff...
I didint want to say anyhting
but yeah I hate it too
It reminds me of those horrible NBA ESPN commercials they got now with those 2 corn balls.
I am still loving this show for its unapologetic Blackness but it suffers from some of the same tropes of many other Berlanti shows - the lack of joy in the characters - Flash season 1 was joyful then they decided Barry and team Flash were having too much fun so they made it dark, they made Barry Emo.
I think that Black Lightning should be a lighter show even with gangster villains (i think that Jill Scott is more interesting than Kordon). I like that quick bit with his old classmate, the selfie drug dealer.
I was a comic book kid and to me comic books were an escape and Stan Lee knew how to make you feel thrilled and engaged and satisfied. I am not feeling that way with these TV shows.
I am going to give Black Lightning a chance but it reminds me of Season 1 of Luke Cage and that is not a compliment.
It's not the super-heroics of this show.
It's the dialogue and how well it portrays various Black Relationships.
Complexities and all.
Shit is completely AMAZING!!!
But I have this feeling it may go the way of "STAR TREK: DS9" and "DISCOVERY".
I'm not seeing a lot of talk on Black Internet and media about it.
But I feel that's because it's getting lost among all the "BLACK PANTHER" publicity.
Which is sad.
Because I truly feel that "BLACK LIGHTNING" is the BEST show on TV about The Black Experience right now.

RawThey fucking this season or next season lol
man this is an interesting discussion point...
I agree but the Flash is SUPPOSED to be BRIGHT and NEEDED to be to differentiate it from Arrow.
And as dark as Flash is I still feel the hopefulness and the heart. And EVERYTHING can't be happy happy. We can't have a show without conflict and trials etc...
and I hate to say this but I don't know if the audience would RESPOND to a joyful black superhero show
I had a thread once on the pressures of being a BLACK show.

Once you LABELED with that you are damn near OBLIGATED to be socially conscious.
Shit has been good so far, just caught up through episode 4
He has no reason to be mad at BL,especially when BL was trying to save people at the protest.
Of course...
but that was great writing and acting
his NON reaction and HER genuine shock and surprise by his dismissiveness?
shows a SHARP turn from the young athlete who was giving her a speech about the future after his workout in the school gym
that was the FIRST chink we saw in the armor
look how QUICK he could be turned to the dark side...
even though he KNOWS BL aint hurt him
They fucking this season or next season lol
dont let it be revealed that she an informant for the 100
Thing is, young boy mad at the world. He was positive, stayed on the right track, avoided the traps of being a teenager, avoided the allure of the 100. He did everything he was supposed to do and what happens he gets his fucking spine severed. His best way out of the shit and now he's stuck. Tobias is a smart man. As a former politician he knows how to use his words to sway people. An angry young black man who has had everything taken away from him only needs to be pointed in the direction of who to hate, and BL is the direction.
agreed
but her so excitedly telling him she quit the team
going against her friends her family and her coach
for him
and for him to not give one single f*ck
to me was the KEY
that he was ALREADY NOT the kid we THOUGHT he was.
