The season is concluding and then it moves to the CW, which for many of us feels like the death of the show we're enjoying before the CW staples transform it into essentially a new show. We all want to be wrong, but that's probably where Flash (AaaAAH) Gordon's coming from.
I still maintain there is no reason to expect the show to become more like an average Arrowverse show unless there is a bunch of major production changes announced all at once.
I'm guessing the show had more watchers on the CW, so they switched. I mean it's the same staff and talent, right? So it should change all that much.

To be honest, it was good to see Courtney's secrecy catching up with her and forcing her to deal with the fallout.
When they named the episode after Henry Jr, I knew he wasn't long for this world but damn if his actor didn't absolutely nail that final scene. This show has been excellent.
If after Death Metal we don't have a book with Court and the Johns era JSA, I'll be sorely disappointed. I miss them so much.

Well, Courtney was right that Barbara would immediately try and get them to stop...although it seems like she was starting to come around by the end.
I"m glad Brainwave Jr. got to be part of the team for at least an hour or two before his heroic sacrifice (not that I think he's dead)
I'd rather a Stargirl JSA book than a "Wonder Woman and the JSA" book personally.
I think each can be fun, but my favorite JSA was the Johns lineup once Power Girl joined so I'd rather that be what we get, Court included.

Barbara would probably have come around if she was told early and kept in the loop before anything dangerous happened as a result. Finding out this if what your daughter is doing after getting over the chance of having lost her in a "car accident" is pretty much going to only end one way.
I'm really hoping we get a STARGIRL solo book after Death Metal.
This week's episode (a James Robinson episode!) was another home run. The 40-45 minute run time is a real bummer, but they still make it work. This show has such a sense of place to it, such an authenticity of character. A ton of gravitas. Courtney is the hero we need in 2020, I'd say.

I think she would have been against anything that put Courtney in danger period, although now that there's probably no way she can physically stop her that might not be as much of an issue.
Considering Robinson's current comic output, I'm happy this show has let him kind of redeem himself in some ways writing-wise. Fittingly considering it focuses on Golden Age legacies.
Tone down the impulsiveness and I absolutely agree with you .
Tonight's episode knocked it out of the park. Wow! Wasn't expecting this. It just got cranked up a big notch.
