Stargirl The Stargirl News and Discussion Thread

Oh I didn’t realize it only had a 10-episode count now, lol. Then I agree it might expand to 13. The lower they keep it, the better, though.

Apparently I was wrong lol, they have 13 episodes. Oops!

 

[Holy Slapper]

Yep, I think a budget cut is very likely here. Damn shame, but hopefully they can at least keep the same creative team. If they have to move the production, even that much seems like a longshot.

But like @Sithborg said, Black Lightning still shoots in Georgia, so there’s still a glimmer of hope on that front. I also doubt there will be an expanded episode count.

I thought studios like Disney/Marvel are moving out of Georgia due to the state government's political decisions.

I thought studios like Disney/Marvel are moving out of Georgia due to the state government's political decisions.

They were threatening to, and a couple of individual productions did, but the anti-abortion law in question is still in contention with the courts so that’s an ongoing issue. But as far as I know, BL hasn’t made any plans to leave, and the head of CW said they will have discussions with the studios about the future of filming there after a final decision is made about the law. Warner Media said they are reconsidering it as a home for future new productions, but said nothing about the productions that already film there.

The most recent episode was pretty good!

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, I can definitely see Johns being able to wrangle a bit more money out of Warner Bros. And given the state of what the CW slate will be next year, I don't see them immediately trying to increase the episode count.

I do see the potential of Georgia drowning in Covid 19 being a factor in whether production moves or not. Which would be a shame, as Vancouver it starting to make the other shows look the same.

Though I'm glad Stargirl is renewed for the 2nd season and will be on CW exclusively, like others there are concerns. I hope it will continue to shoot in Atlanta like Black Lightning. I don't see how Vancouver locations could pass for Blue Valley.

I also hope the show will keep Geoff Johns and the same creative team from the 1st season. Any writers from CW would not do it justice. Just look at the other Arrowverse shows.

I don't expect Stargirl to go no more than 13 episode as that should be enough. 22 episodes is just dragging it.

Supernatural does a fine job, not filming in the city.

Great news that it got renewed, but like most here I also hope that moving to CW doesn't heavily impact the production quality of the show as well as the writing/script quality. I also hope that they don't drag this out to over 20 episodes, because that would just feel like too much IMO and as much as I do enjoy The Flash on CW even I can admit that it feels like way too much filler at times, especially those middle episodes.

The most recent episode was pretty good!

The ending was great and made all the build up worth it IMO. I love this show, but man do I hate how they always leave you hanging and waiting a whole week for the next episode lol.

I loved seeing

Spoiler

Beth investigating the tunnels under Cindy’s house, only to get creeped out and run back saying “nope.” That was hilarious.

Plus, Cindy is a hard core, terrifying villain. I was wondering whether they would portray her as sympathetic but it certainly doesn’t look that way.

so far, the only character I am not feeling is Rick. The angry at the world shtick is kind of lame.

 

[Babillygunn]

I haven’t heard anything but does the second season not being on DC Universe mean anything about the future of the service?

It wouldn't be a perfect 1 to 1, but theoretically parts of nearby Ladner, Tsawwassen, Steveston and other surrounding areas aren't the most wrong you could go.

I sense no ulterior motives involving Courtney, Yolanda and Artemis here at all...

Nothing's been officially said, but I mentioned in the HBO Max thread that the DCU service did away with the annual subscription option last week, which doesn't seem like a good sign. Couple that with most of their original shows going to Max or CW, and I'd say DCU's days look to be numbered...as a streaming service, anyway. I'm still holding out hope for the comics part of the service to remain, as there's still money to be made there and no one else under the AT&T umbrella would be looking to encroach on that.

Congrats to the cast and crew for S2!! Well deserved and I know us fans of the show are happy too. I really like that this show reminds me kinda of a lighter version of Buffy.

 

[combocaz]

So far im really liking this series but now that its going to CW i just hope they dont ruin a good thing.

 

[Holy Slapper]

Liked the episode. Even Mike wasn't as annoying.

 

[SV Fan]

It was killing me to where i seen Cindy's mom before and I finally figured it out

 

[Dark Raven]

So Cindy knows that Courtney is Stargirl. Why did Courtney charge into battle again though instead of trying to contact her friends once they left there?

 

[Gaultheria]

Pat and Courtney spend a lot of time together and act really awkward and evasive when anyone asks them about what they do. I'm starting to think that Barbara knows everything about the JSA (both old and new), because otherwise there are a lot of stepfather-stepdaughter warning signs that she's not picking up on.

What warning signs are you talking about?

 

[Frodo]

Another good episode. Its realistic that Courtney's alter ego wouldn't stay hidden for very long, and I like that they made Cindy smart and didn't have her be clueless which is a typical trope .

I'm also happy for the second season as well. Its become one of my favorite CW superhero shoes already.

I'd love to see a Supergirl and Star Girl crossover episode. Seeing Benoist play off of Bassinger would be really awesome.

Obviously, the vast majority of fathers (biological or adoptive) don’t abuse their children. So in a way, it’s quite proper—and realistic—to not even broach the subject. OTOH… if the narrative, itself, confects a secret between father and daughter that the mother grows suspicious of, then at least considering the worst would be quite plausible. But so far, Barbara doesn’t appear to be especially suspicious.

Because Courtney is impulsive and Cindy threatened her new friends.

At the moment, one of the reasons this show is really doing it for me is because it's not intertwined with the typical CW tripe.

Whilst I can appreciate and see the desire to have this crossover, the majority of crossovers have tried to do too much, and as a result have been ruined I think. Each of them could've been so much more had the various writers not tried to cram so much in.

At this point, I would prefer that Stargirl stay independent of the other shows. It is kinda' laughable though that they combined Black Lightening, Supergirl and the Earth-1 shows to encompass Earth-Prime to make everything easier moving forward, and yet here we are introducing another show on its second season that's set on a different earth.

Makes you wonder why they couldn't have just kept Kara and Jefferson on their own Earth's, and just went the old route when doing the crossover episodes.

Kara would lose her mind so fast at the inexperience and immaturity of Courtney.
