Stargirl – Season 1, episode 8 – Stargirl VS Cindy [+bonus video]

by

Time to talk about episode 8 of Stargirl!

For starters I have a scene without any masked women. Why do I post it? Well, watch for yourself and you will know:

 

 

Bonus video:

(Of course it helps a LOT if you have seen the previous episodes to fully understand the scene)

I love the suspense in the whole scene! I was waiting the whole time that Cindy would expose Courtney as being Stargirl…but it doesn’t happen.

It seems that Courtney’s secret is still safe, but at the last moment Cindy does reveal that she knows that it is Courtney who masked herself as Stargirl. And she immediately threatens Courtney’s friends. Cindy’s behavior with these chocolates perfectly presents how evil she is, maybe a little over the top 😉

Now to the scenes with masked women!

And here is the video:

Beth…..you did it again! This time she called Wildcat by her real name. Cindy could have heard that as she was already on her way to that room.

A very dangerous habit….They really have to do better than that!

Luckily Yolanda changed into Wildcat and saved her from being found by Cindy.

The fight between Cindy (as she wasn’t in costume) and Stargirl was pretty intense, good action! And this time Stargirl didn’t loose, it was more like a tie as Cindy was grabbed by these…..snake-people. Guess we will get a third fight between these two pretty soon.

At the end…Brainwave Junior aka Henry also finds out that Stargirl is Courtney (just like his father) which endangers her and her friends even more.

The question is now, how the three who know who Stargirl is will deal with it.

– Brainwave senior is in a coma, but could awake in every episode and would use that knowledge I think

– Cindy/Shiv told that that secret would be safe with her….but that can change if she sees any advantage in telling her dad or someone else

 – Henry isn’t a villain so far, and his reaction leaves every option open…. the synopsis and the trailer for the next episode show a certain…possible direction for him

It will be interesting to see what happens to Cindy, what plans has her father with her?

And also what will Stargirl and her team do next?

The trailer for the next episode shows it:

What do you think about the episode and these scenes?

Stargirl – Season 1, episode 7 – Stargirl VS Shiv

by

A new villainess enters the stage in episode 7 of Stargirl….Shiv!

And she proves to be a worthy opponent….at least.

[Spoilers ahead! Watch the episode before you continue!]

That was a good episode! Basically the origin episode for Shiv. Or one of them since the next episode is called “Shiv: Part Two”.

I think it’s a little weird that Courtney chooses to get friends with Cindy, who is the meanest girl in school. OK, she doesn’t have much friends so far, and perhaps she wants to see the good in her, but it seems a little off.

A shame that Shiv doesn’t have a mask for her costume, but seemingly the villains aren’t really much into protecting their “civilian” identities so much with some exceptions (Sportsmaster, Tigress(?- face paint).

The fight between these two is really well done! Great action 🙂

I am wondering: Does Stargirl know what damage the staff can do to others? She send Brainwave into a coma and now completely burned Shiv’s face what might have killed her if she wouldn’t have super powers. Was it Stargirl’s intention to kill her? Hard to say….I guess not.

Stargirl was lucky as she was rescued by the….janitor! Will be interesting to see, as I don’t know the Stargirl comics, who he actually is or was. Is he a survivor of the old JSA team?

Also Stargirl was lucky (again) that Shiv decided to leave rather then to stay and to finish her…and/or unmask her! Seemingly she was hurt and/or afraid that the sword wielding Janitor might return. 😉

Pat should be more careful with shouting her real name, even he couldn’t know the whole time that she was in costume.

Here is the trailer for episode 8:

–

Well, it seems that Stargirl’s secret identity is in big danger….at least. Clearly seems that Shiv figures out who she is.

With that all their secret identities are in big danger. I am afraid that soon all villains will knows who is behind their masks 🙁

And even worse, I think they wont even need to really unmask them…in the only “right” way 😉

Really curious to see how the story goes on! And of course I hope to see Wildcat in action as well…

If her secret gets exposed, she should deal with all the villains who know…so that her secret is safe again.
