Frenemies Chapter 13: The Reckoning – Director: Walter Carlos Garcia/Writer: Geoff Johns

This one starts nine months ago, with Icicle and Dragon King digging up Sylvester and bringing him back to life. Icicle says he wants to use Sylvester as his mouthpiece, since he has so much credibility as a superhero … he might even get elected President. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 13”

Frenemies Chapter 12: The Last Will and Testament of Sylvester Pemberton – Director: Jennifer Phang/Writers: Turi Meyer, Alfredo Septien

This one starts decades ago in Los Angeles, with Dolores Winters winning a movie award. Of course, we know Dolores was just a vessel for Ultra-Humanite’s consciousness, which explains why she battered a suitor to death (with the award statuette!). Professor Ito shows up and Dolores lets him know she’s found a new body for her mind … that of a giant white ape that was recently captured by the adventurer Congo Bill. Dolores figures that body will be perfect to face the Justice Society, especially since Ito has already started transforming himself into reptilian form.

Frenemies Chapter 11: The Haunting – Director: Jennifer Phang/Writers: Steve Harper, Maytal Zchut

This one starts with a flashback to a year ago, when Mike ran into Icicle with the truck and smashed him to pieces. Hours later, we see the ice chunks (which apparently nobody thought to pick up) melting and coalescing into a puddle of water that oozes down into the tunnels under Blue Valley. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 11”

Frenemies Chapter 10: The Killer – Director: Andi Armaganian/Writers: James Dale Robinson, Taylor Streitz

This one starts with a focus on the Crocks, who seem to be assimilating pretty well to life in Blue Valley (and we see Paula has finally learned how to bake a chocolate cake). While out for a jog, Crusher and Paula decide they need to do something about the Mahkents. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 10”

Frenemies Chapter 9: The Monsters – Director: Andi Armaganian/Writer: Geoff Johns

This one starts with Lily Mahkent (Cameron’s grandma) reflecting on her family’s legacy of cold-based powers. When she finds out Cameron is still interested in art (which his grandpa Sofus is cool with), she gets pissed off and blames Courtney for distracting Cameron from using his powers to benefit his family. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 9”

Frenemies Chapter 7: Infinity Inc. Part 1 – Director: Glen Winter/Writer: James Dale Robinson

This one starts six months ago, with a familiar scene … Jenny getting kicked out of the orphanage and receiving her father’s Green Lantern ring (which we saw at the beginning of last season). At the same time, her twin brother Todd and his boyfriend Danny are in Civic City breaking into a fancy restaurant to celebrate Todd’s birthday. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 7”

Frenemies Chapter 6: the Betrayal – Director: Lea Thompson/Writers: Alfredo Septien, Turi Meyer

This one starts with Cindy removing incriminating stuff from the old Injustice Society headquarters. (She knows someone’s been there because Sylvester destroyed the portrait of the Society when he had his freak-out last episode.) We see that Cindy is getting more like her father, with not only her arm growing scales but her eyes flicking back and forth between normal and reptilian. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 6”

Frenemies Chapter 5: The Thief – Director: Lea Thompson/Writer: Steve Harper

This one starts five days ago at the scene of Gambler’s murder, where Cindy is standing beside his body, retracting her forearm blade. She notices Gambler’s laptop and grabs it, but has to hide it when she hears the JSA coming. She sees the Derringer beside Gambler’s body and picks it up, then fires it … but it looks like her arm had some kind of spasm and she fired the gun without meaning to. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 5”

Frenemies Chapter 4: The Evidence – Director: Walter Carlos Garcia/Writer: Paula Sevenbergen

This one starts with Cameron looking at some knicknacks at home, where he accidentally freezes and shatters a snow globe with his cold powers. His grandparents aren’t worried about his lack of control, as long as he masters his power in time to make their enemies suffer. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 4”

Frenemies Chapter 3: The Blackmail – Director: Walter Carlos Garcia/Writer: Taylor Streitz

This one starts with Sylvester strolling downtown and getting freaked out by how open and friendly everyone is. He stops by the diner and talks with Yolanda, telling her Ted Grant would’ve liked her as the new Wildcat (and validating her mistrust of Cindy). Neither of them notices Cameron’s grandparents giving Sylvester an icy stare through the window. Continue reading “Stargirl Reviews: Season 3, Episode 3”
