Wow! another great episode.. I think Brainwave is most scariest villain in the ISA. The look on Jordan's face when he found out about Courtney was priceless. Really loved the story about Sir. Justin.. Still the big battle is yet to come.. Next 2 episodes will be Blast.

After last weeks episode it's no no surprise that coming into this weeks episode that it would feel a little dark even with the light overtones. And boy did it deliver. And Courtney's dad is a real scumbag. Now I'm not real versed in the comic book issue. But I can see that the staff was waiting for her to embrace her once again. There where nice moments in the episode between her and her friends. Including Pat. And the reveal of The Shining Knight was sad. But really good. And you can really feel the Evilness of villains this episode. Especially when it came between Icicle, and Brainwave. I'm eagerly waiting for next weeks episode.

Great episode. This episode was necessary to solve some plot issues, and questions that were made through the entire season. It explains everything which is necessary to begin the war between the JSA and the ISA. Great set-up for the season finale. Our queen has risen!

This episode was filled to the brim with emotional and impactful moments. All of the stuff between Courtney and her father was fantastic, as we saw Courtney go through a huge emotional journey. The Sir Justin stuff (while maybe not prevalent enough to get the episode named after it) was also interesting, as we got to hear about this awesome hero however we only saw him as very sunken, to the point where it was depressing how far he'd fallen. Pat shined this episode, with many strong moments between both Courtney and Justin. It feels weird giving out this many 10/10s for a show but this series really deserves it.

The episodes just keep on getting better and more better! My lord, this really gave Courtney some more moments like she was claiming that she was the main cause of why Henry died and it was all her fault that she made Blue Valley not a safe place. I really like to see the dark sides of characters just like this, it was a perfect example.

And oh my word, the ending, that just really give me off vibes that you shouldn't mess Brainwave, he's probably the scariest of out of the ISA.

The first few episodes really had me hooked on this show, but now I'm REALLY trying to make it to the Season 1 finish line! LOL After this episode, I can honestly say that this show is kind of standard and is a chore to watch. It's not awful, but it's not great either. Out of the last 7 episodes, I've only thought that at most a couple of them were great and this definitely ain't one of them. And I get it, this was supposed to be a character study on Courtney, but that didn't make it any less slow or boring. And it was most definitely SLOW and BORING. This show isn't supposed to be some sad drama and that's all this episode was. But I will say it was great to see Courtney finally get her comeuppance and put an end to this annoying "Starman was my father" nonsense she spouted for the first 10 episodes. While I give Bassinger credit for doing a decent acting job, at the same time, I generally don't even take most of these characters seriously, especially when the show generally "features" such mediocre acting and has such a ridiculous character like Beth.

Much as I love Pat and Yolanda (and sort of like Courtney), the New JSA is a joke. What exactly is Pat teaching these kids? I haven't seen him do anything to actually train an of them. With Rick, it's another episode of him "reading his father's journal off camera" and with Beth it's another episode in the background play driving a vehicle. And Yolanda is off mourning that overrated Henry character off screen. And I'm fully expecting these "kids" to defeat the JSA in the end and somehow be leading the show starting in Season 2. Yet they've got the absolute worst collective character development of anyone on the show. Honestly, I think both Barb and Mike feel like more fleshed out characters than these teenagers! And what is the deal with this mumbling, bumbling, incoherent Janitor character? I've seen fans speculate and rave about his weird goofball for 10 episodes, yet I feel like I'm staring at a wall whenever this guy shows up. Are people honestly entertained or engaged by characters like this?

But the best acting job in this one once again is given by Christopher James Baker as Brainwave/HenrySr. Early on, I wasn't completely on board with this "villains make the show" spiel that fans were proclaiming, but then this character was in a coma for most of that time and I wasn't as enamored with Icicle as everyone else was and he's really stood out as well in these last couple of episodes. And what's sad is that these awesome characters played by these great actors will probably soon be no more on this show where we will be left with the Saturday morning cartoon acting of characters like Beth "Goggle Girl" Chapel. And once Stargirl moves to the CW, expect a lot more silly characters like this one. The unofficial slogan of the network is basically "Dumb Characters Welcome" anyway.
