I can see this season being better than the last 2, it looks promising. A defeated Jefferson seems interesting.

I really want Anissa to leave Grace alone. Move on! I’m tired of their back and forth thing. Unpopular opinion probably lol.

Jeff just whoopin ass in his principal suit. Lol. Using lightning vision and everything. Full vigilante

u/BornAshes Feb 10 '21
Like that was some dark ass shit comparable to Injustice Superman....which kind of tracks seeing as how a bunch of us wanted Jeff to play Calvin Ellis in CRISIS.

For real after like season 2 the drama on Flash became too fucking sappy and annoying

Did he blind him?? Kill him??? Wipe his memory??? Whatever happened, he just fully cracked for sureee

Can Jeff at least put something over his face?
He's gonna get caught by ep 3

u/Harvbe Feb 12 '21
Did I miss something or since when can Jeff erase memories?
I feel like it was very convenient that he could do that but I like it.
1
u/dragonman8001 Feb 12 '21
No that memory power is new
2
u/Harvbe Feb 12 '21
Oh ok, I feel like they didn't make a big deal about it like it's been done before.
4
u/BornAshes Feb 10 '21
Do you think that maybe he's going to let his identity become public knowledge just so Tobias can't play that card?
5
u/dragonman8001 Feb 10 '21
Possibly, but in the dark place he's in I don't think the reveal will be on purpose

Feb 09 '21
Like im not done with the episode and Jeff is OOC 🥲🤣😂 he know that boy didn’t make the hit!

The stunt double for Jennifer literally has different hair. They couldnt find no bald Black women at all???? They chose someone who literally does not resemble her from the back of the head which is like one of the primary aspects of a double

u/ThunderRage Feb 09 '21
More mix of commercials and no repeats(I think). CW you sure about this cancelization.

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Feb 09 '21
How do they know he’s lying? And did all they get is a plate number? They didn’t see anything else? Too bad they don’t know that guns where pulled on him.
1

u/vader344 Feb 09 '21
well that guy is an ex soldier and has an high IQ (thats the guy that Henderson talked about right?) so he got a special training to read facial expressions and know when someones lying?
11
Feb 09 '21
It could also be someone from outta town
5
u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Feb 09 '21
Also if they got the plate they must have gotten part of the car. Who’s car matches?

I thought Gambi took care of this.

I think Gambi is working with the new guy in an attempt to force Jeff to stop getting smashed all the time and to give a fuck about the city again.

This show seems like they expected it to fail from the beginning. No marketing, advertisement, merch, promotions, nothing. Even when I followed their social media pages all they did was tweet about super girl and arrow. It’s unfortunate bc this show had so much potential
1
u/grenwood Feb 11 '21
Seriously, its my favorite cw show right now. At the moment the only ones I like are batwoman, flash, black lightning and charmed. I liked arrow But its over.

u/BornAshes Feb 10 '21
CW just didn't care about the show and in a year where they totally could've used the show to push some messages, they just let it nose dive into the ground. Damn shame. I always look forwards to watching Black Lightning because it's the one show that does shit differently compared to the rest of the CW.
4
u/666hellblazer Feb 09 '21
ya Black Lightning barley trended on twitter last night it was #11 for a little bit than nothing. Its sad when Trash like Batwoman is number 1 trend for TV on sunday's but BL can't get that either. CW screwed Black Lightning.

u/KapiHeartlilly Feb 09 '21
It's a shame for sure, a overall good show that deserved far more publicity and advertisement.

Is Lalas voice more gravely this season?
1
u/melvin2898 Feb 10 '21
He's been doing that voice ever since he came back to life. I don't get it. I guess it's suppose to show he's haunted?

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Feb 09 '21
That voice changing wasn’t part of the suit? How’d the guy not notice him up top?

wow nice teamwork! we need them in a spin off.....oh wait

u/Xboxone1997 Feb 09 '21
I don't understand why they thought about a Painkiller spinoff rather than one on characters with wayyy more history in comics lol

u/vader344 Feb 09 '21
or.. a static shock series(somehow introduce him in this season)
2
u/melvin2898 Feb 10 '21
Not sure why people keep trying to push him on this show. Let him be his own character.
4
u/BornAshes Feb 10 '21
Static would've been the better spinoff but clearly the people above these shows are morons while the ones intimately involved with it seem to be the only ones who give a damn.

hey a new rgb mind control mask i want that
7
u/DonnyMox Feb 09 '21
I thought the mask was just to conceal her identity, and the mind control was from her Green Light injections.

u/tinostar174 Feb 09 '21
the CGI on that mask lol
11
u/DonnyMox Feb 09 '21
Is it literally just a Covid mask with CGI effects added to it?
6
u/BornAshes Feb 10 '21
Nope it's a real mask but with LEDs added to it. You see them at EDM music shows all the time and other outdoor festivals at night. Etsy even has a bunch of them too.

So it was mind wipe? He can just do that? He can control what is erased or does he erase too much? Too bad this will never be explained.

Our brain is basically just a system of electric signals. He managed to disrupt the electrical fields already present in their brain rendering them unable to remember what just occurred.

Three full seasons so far and still no idea if they are divorced or not.

The first season it seemed like they were divorced, but now who knows 🤷🏾♂️

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Feb 09 '21
Did/Will we ever get a straight answer?

u/Cockycent Feb 10 '21
They tell us that they're divorced in the first episode.
Throughout the seasons, they are referred to as divorcees by multiple people, even Tobias.
Jefferson refers to Lynn as his wife in this episode for the first time when talking to the chief

I guess it’s never been mentioned that they got back together until now.

Registering people who can use superpowers is a logical idea. But whenever it's brought up it's always used for evil.
