Black Lightning Season 2 Premiere: "The Book of Consequences: Chapter One: Rise of the Green Light Babies"

Okay, here we go.

And by the way, Robert Townsend? Okay, we have to get at least one Meteor Man joke. It's just required.

This fight scene is so good and fun! I need this person to do the Arrow fights sometimes but I really hope Syonide isnt dead, she is a fun henchwoman.

I am glad that they are continuing to deal with Jens powers the way they are instead of her instantly accepting them and being a pro at everything.

 

[NotNickFury]

Sheesh.

Anissa might be a better fighter than Danny Rand.

I thought this was a great season opener. I like the new episode title card. I was like "Damn, they really gonna open with cops killing a kid?"

The guest stars and the cameos! Bill Duke!. Robert Townsend (they let him say *****! On the CW?!). Also dude was Meteor Man, who's name was also Jefferson. They even had Benjamin Crump and Angela Rye in this.

Happy they allowed Henderson to make the connections about BL and Jefferson's timing of their actions.

The fights were great.

Vice principal was mad about her wet hair... never get a Black woman's hair wet. I was worried she was going to die after Tobias Whale busted out the good ol' harpoon. Can never not laugh at him using that.

Anissa's beatdown of the drug dealers was fun.

Cool to see more of what Jennifer can possibly do.

Church members pulling out guns had me rolling.

Sad for that kid with his mom. Was she in shock or did she say that because of his powers? And kid was getting shot at. Cops won't even let him live twice!

A mask will do that for ya lol

Yes to everything you've said. The fight scenes are exceptional. Gutted when Syonide died. Quite shocked really. They could have at least waited till mid season.

Jen's response to powers is probably more true to life than most super hero stories. There would be a long adjustment and body horror element to it that would not be all smiles and sunshine. I really like how there handling it.

 

[Sithborg]

Just started watching, and they actually used the n-word. Shocked me.

EDIT: That was a really, really good finale. Great and realistic consequences of last season. Love it.

And give whoever thought up the new title cards a raise.

 

[WhoMani]

I thought this was a good opener. The only negative I have is we didn't see much of Tobias Wales and Syonide's death was rather anti-climatic.

 

[Pennywise]

Great episode! So emotional, relevant, and occasionally badass!

Anissa’s hallway fight gave me Daredevil S1 vibes, only with a lot more destruction and quick cuts.

 

[RockSP]

Sad for that kid with his mom. Was she in shock or did she say that because of his powers?

I assumed it was his powers. He was glowing while she told him about himself, heh.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, that was my impression.

Anissa’s hallway fight gave me Daredevil S1 vibes, only with a lot more destruction and quick cuts.

And more bulletproof skin.

Ok, cool. Wasn't sure if they had the glowing just to make the scene more weird than it already was.

 

[RockSP]

Calling them "Green Light Babies" automatically brought to mind for me "Bang Babies" from Milestone. Don't know if that was an intentional nod or not.

 

[Sithborg]

I have to think it was. .

 

[Rodimus]

I liked the first season, but that was an improvement I thought. Much tighter story and better acting.

Black Lightening is back!

 

[Dark Raven]

Is Jefferson's police friend played by a different actor? He doesn't seem to be the same person. I'm only about 15 minutes into the episode.

 

[RockSP]

Same actor.

 

[Iceman]

Anissa’s fight scenes were awesome!

Fowdy is apparently a badass and the fight with Syonide was cool. I don’t think it should have ended in a death though as that is wasted future potential for what wasn’t the most significant event.
