LANTERNS: this ain't it, chief. Those men are charming and there's like almost a good idea between John being programmed into Black Excellence and Noah being a killer robot in the skin of a Nice White Boy but it never comes together

2016 mystery boring and pointless, 2026 mystery rushed and undercooked, none of its ideas are developed enough to work on their own and don't actually hook into or drive the plot

What if Toxic Black Excellence Made You Green Lantern and What If The Nice White Boy Serial Killer Was Actually A Killer Robot From Space are decent ideas that potentially play well together but neither are actually The Show, they are one overwrought episode and one ok scene respectively

Who Killed Hal Jordan is a way better mystery hook than Who Is The Manhunter but it gets shunted off into the final stretch instead of getting space to be interesting and committing to the True Detective ripoff split timelines would give the one space and the other context

Also there is simply no way to make composing a little poem a badass conclusion to your character arc, made me miss Black Lightning leaning into making its lead an earnest Corny Unc who could land something like that
