Cute cover :).
I wasnt even excited for STARGIRL tv show when I heard it was being produced, but now I cant wait.
Its gonna be lit. The trailers convinced me.

Robinson's Starman is one of DC's hidden gems and it made me love Jack. Likewise, JSA made me a fan of Courtney and I was so jazzed to hear she was getting a show.
It's connection to the CW has me worried, but I'm hoping there isn't much influence from them involved in it's production going forward as I believe they just get to air it afterwards.

Yeah looks surprisingly fun.
Surprised the Stars & Stripes family doesn't have a book out to coincide with the show.
I’m pretty excited to see this show, and honestly if the internet talk is true I’d gladly take a crossover between Flash or Supergirl and Stargirl.
Honestly I’ve always liked Courtney, though in fairness Jack’s series was over when I started reading comics and the JSA and I have gone back to read the series since.

Would (John Wesley Shipp's) Jay Garrick cross over into this show, or do they get their own?

Hard to say, given what happened in Crisis on Infinite Earths, the multiverse, and the previous Earth 2. However I think there was an interview about Jay Garrick and Alan Scott but it wasn’t definite on anything, so again hard to say.
Edit: Here is an article about Geoff Johns talking about Alan and Jay, along with the IGN article it originated from where he was talking about the cast.

Really excited for this show. I’m a big Stargirl fan and really wish DC would bring her back into a book.
I would really love for JWS to appear but I think the show will be more about legacy and following in the JSA footsteps.
Great premiere episode!!! The opening in particular was pretty cool. Really looking forward to next weeks episode and seeing where they take this. Also, is it just me or did this premiere seem to have a larger budget than other CW properties. It looked REALLY good on TV!

Yeah I’m glad to have this show, not only because Stargirl is fun but it feels like a great way to involve the JSA which I am a big fan of.
As for the budget, yeah it’s probably different because CW only has the rights to premiere it but it’s technically a DC universe show, though it does have strong connections to the other CW show.
The premier episode was everything I'd hoped it'd be. Really excited to see more. Brec and Luke were phenomenal.
There's about 8-10 minutes of content that is in the DCU version that were cut from the CW version to make room for commercials. It ran 53+ minutes without commercials on the DC Universe platform but had to fit into a 1 hour block with 15 or so minutes of commercials on the WB. I watched it on the DC app first, and later with my wife on the WB and the missing scenes blunted the impact of some of the scenes that made it in because it stripped them of their context.

I really enjoyed it. I watched it on CW with my family first, I'll watch it on the app to see the difference. They did a fantastic job though!
Has Stargirl been in anything after the JLU in the New52? I wish they would use her in something again. Young Justice or Outsiders, something.

I watched the CW/WB version.
What were the scenes cut.
In the first half hour (I didn't pay close attention to the second half on WB) that I noticed-
When Pat brings Courtney to school there is a conversation in the car between them that sets up the dynamic between them that comes into play once she finds out he is Stripesy.
After Courtney gets her ID before we get to the lunchroom scene, she is walking down the hall and sees Brainwave Jr. and others doing their shtick and is approached by the head cheerleader and her sidekick who try to recruit her, Courtney rejects them which sets up the end of the lunchroom scene where the girl calls her a bitch as the one who does is the head cheerleader we met earlier
After Courtney is escorted out, there is a scenes with her in detention watching the clock and observing the guy who was sitting at her lunch table, then rushing out and trying to catch her bus, just missing it and having to walk home, and we see her walking through town meeting a few people. This helps set up the annoyance she is feeling at dinner when she storms off and heads downstairs to discover Pat's JSA stuff and the staff.
I got distracted by a phone call and wasn't paying attention in the second half as my wife watched it, so I can't say if there was more cut from that portion. From what I saw it was mostly stuff establishing or developing Courtney's relationship with her surroundings and the people around her. Not necessarily crucial, but it does put a lot of what we do see in context and gives it some more meaning.
My wife has decided to rewatch it on the app to see what she missed.

Unfortunately, no. Courtney is one of a handful of characters currently stuck in DC Purgatory, which is such crap. Hopefully, her show does well and DC decides to bring her back, she has been sorely missed!

Gotcha! Thanks for the fill in. Some of the commercials had very poor timing as well, but that is a minor complaint for getting to watch it for free. I really don't want the DC app. I hope she gets her costume next week!
Who all was at that battle in the beginning? Obviously Starman, Pat, Hourman, Dr. Midnite...er, Jay, Ted, and probably Alan, all that green flame..., and was the Thunderbolt there? Was there at least pink fire or whatever his color is?
And who all was in the photo? PG seemed to be missing from it, though the Hawks seemed to be there, and not at the battle. There was so much to see in those scenes, and so little time to see it...
I'm assuming that Dr. Fate and the Spectre weren't at the battle, but were either in the photo?
One of the most fun first episodes I've seen in a while. Nice and nicely paced writing, and decent to very good acting. And a show with a fun tone that just makes you smile. That's rare.
One more thing, how many of these did they manage to film before COVID hit and messed everything up?

You can see Sandman (with gas mask) lying on the ground in one shot.
I thought this was a lot of fun. It managed to balance the light touch of the CW shows with the darker tone of the DC Universe shows. Looking forward to watching the next one.
Arguably you could get a lot of JSA offspring on this show over the next few seasons:
Sandy Hawkins
Hector Hall
Northwind
Jesse Quick again
Jade & Obsidian
Nuklon
JJ Thunder even
[QUOTE=j9ac9k;4977280]You can see Sandman (with gas mask) lying on the ground in one shot.[/QUOTE]
Ah, good one, I missed that.
The episode reminded me of the movie Mystery Men. Similar plot, similar feel. More heroic than Mystery Men though.

We saw Jay's helmet, but I am not sure if he was there. He could have already retired and it been on display.
We definitely saw:
Starman
Wildcat
Hourman
Sandman
Dr. Mid-Night
In this photo:

Yeah, even without the Spectre and Power Girl, I don't see that team of bad guys beating the JSA...with that line-up, so I'm betting some of the heavy hitters may have not been there.

I think production was wrapped last year.
The Stargirl Aftershow podcast confirmed that was Alan Scott at the beginning with the green energy. One of the podcast runners worked on the show. Pretty cool!
I thought the first episode had a lot of heart. The pros outweighed the cons enough that I'll definitely check out a few more episodes. I like that it takes place in the middle of nowhere, and not in LA. The final scene was super fun. Luke Wilson is great. The actress who plays Courtney doesn't have much to work with, but makes it work regardless- she's real charming and it makes the character a lot more endearing.
Not stoked about the JSA timeline. I can't think of a time less likely to be called a golden age of anything than 2010.

You have to look at the timeline from a sixteen year old’s perspective.
Yeah, it's super weird to think of the JSA as existing in the 21st century, but I'm sure the timeline has to do with Courtney's age and her dad somehow.
What I want to know is: what is it about this small town?? Courtney's mom is from there, we don't know why Pat was there (he was "looking for something?") and why has Brainwave set up his life there?
Also, what are the odds Courtney and Brainwave's son are actually going to end up ... catching feelings? We see he's been clearly abused (so he's sympathetic), his girlfriend's a horrorshow and it would just be the kind of teenage drama made for a CW show.

I wonder if Courtney’s mom met her dad there before she moved to LA.

I think the use of Blue Valley is partly an Easter nod to Silver Age Dc as it was Wally West's hometown.

Well it's just some plot necessary convenience, they need the JSA to be "gone" at this point. There may still be a deus ex reveal where several of them survived in some form (or realm).
Terrific set up,
The whole hysterical sidekick vs you were just the assistant, schism.
[I]You're not in the team picture, ...that's cause I took it[/I]. :D
Also is S.T.R.I.P.E his (flying)car, transformed?
Or completley separate?
Is that aspect from the comic?
Really looking forward to the next episode.

It’s also where Courtney’s comic took place.

Not so, he went on to explain that we only see Jay's helmet and that is important that we never see Jay himself, or lightning, etc.

[QUOTE=Jekyll;4977792]Not so, he went on to explain that we only see Jay's helmet and that is important that we never see Jay himself, or lightning, etc.[/QUOTE]
I figured that might just be an extra helmet. They were having the battle at the JSA headquarters, I assume they have a lot of extra equipment there.
No, I mean the show stars teenagers. It’s aimed at a teen audience primarily.
10 years ago, is not at all long for me and you, but for a teenage it’s a long time ago, and looked upon as nostalgic and simpler from their perspective. Even if it’s 2010.
