Funny thing: notice how the preview says "SEASON finale" instead of "series finale".



Maybe the person in charge of doing the lettering of the previews is rooting for fans to find the show a new home or it’s a good foreboding sign that it maybe has been secretly picked up by HBO Max or something. And if it is a mistake then it’s the coolest one The CW has done. 👍

As for the episode it was good. Seeing all of the reactions that came from Jordan being back on the land of the living and how it affected everyone differently. Cameron's world just keeps being turned upside down as he tries to hold onto anything that still makes sense for him, so it's no wonder he is giving a chance to trying to find some of his own peace, what his dad claims to be after now, by picking up the pieces including the role Courtney has in his life. Both of them were torn in their inner battles of wanting to go back together, still rooting for them.

Poor Artemis in this episode, her grief was relatable. At least Barbara was there for her and I'm sure that if the show can be revived that Stella Smith (her actress) would be promoted to be a series regular and a JSA member. It's what Paula/Tigress wanted, all she ever wanted. We'd get to see how she deals with her new status quo while getting the support from the JSA.

Sylvester was back again with his outbursts of anger and even being rude-ish with Pat but nothing of what he was saying about how they had to draw a line when it came to all their frenemy alliances and that Icicle was the tipping point was wrong. He was pretty much right and doesn't want Court to even buy into Jordan's olive branch approaches. If he was a meme in this episode it'd be the Sam one from TF&TWS.



Incredibly, the underdog theory about how the ice cubes that ended up on the street after Icicle was shattered melting away over time (water cycle) and then gathering so that he would regenerate over the span of 1 year was how he survived. That came very close to being how the T-100 reforms. But that still leaves up questions: from where that healing suit and mask he had came from? What about the cameras? Where they always down there in the sewers or were they installed afterwards? And by him or maybe through Ultra-Humanite? If so, why?

There just seems to be something off about Jordan's behaviour tbh and it goes beyond how he was struggling to keep himself together through the episode. He claims his powers now are stronger as the camera focused on his hand but Sofus was looking at that in a way of suspicion, as if he caught up something that was unusual about that comment. He and Lily have lived a long life and have knowledge of their cryokinesis so of all people they are the ones that should know if their kind/race are even able to regain their form even when they're destroyed.

And the way Jordan was at the end in the studio, looking at the snowglobes and then he leaves without telling anyone all the way to the forest to meet up with Ultra-Humanite to tell him "it's time" just further adds up to the mystery. This is the same guy that made his entrance in S1 in a sports car and walking with confidence and presence through the ISA tunnels while addressing a caged Grundy as The Killer's "The Man" played in the background until he made it the conference room and now he is the one going to meet up so far away where UH lives...it's just so un-Jordan.

It almost looked as if he was the one reporting to Ultra-Humanite. Unless he is pulling some Syndrome and wants the JSA to help him take out UH since he claims UH hated the ISA just as much as the JSA and then he'll collect the fruits of their efforts to look like the hero of Blue Valley. The town still loves him after all when he showed up at his old workplace much to Barbara's shock.

Which brings me up to Cindy showing up at Jakeem's house to admit that they need all help they can get and working alone won't benefit anyone. That's so un-Cindy too. She would never return to Blue Valley without having captured first UH and get the answers she needed about how to stop her transformation. And less alone would she just appear to team up with those two that she sees as a nuisance and beneath her. If you ask me, this is a loose adaptation of how Ultra-Humanite was able to claim the Thunderbolt's pink pen in the comics by impersonating Johnny Thunder and UH is mind controlling Cindy.





And that takes me to Sylvester claiming the Staff from Courtney in the preview. He has a bond with Cosmo and was chosen by his own merits as she was but it can't be enought to just leave Courtney behind. Makes me think that Starman has also been for a while under Ultra-Humanite's mental control or UH swapped bodies/inserted his brain in Sylvester or did something to do when he ambushed him in the end of 3x03, right before Court arrived to check on him. And it'd fit because UH by now would've developed his own bond with the Staff because all thanks to the co-sharing rights agreement Courtney agreed without any complaints to back in S3 premiere with Sylvester.

Ultra-Humanite having both the pink pen and the Cosmic Staff under his command would really make the final battle harder to win since Jakeem and Courtney would be at huge disadvantages as major players being removed. Add as well if he really has Sylvester, Cindy and to some degree Icicle under his control. But I'm assuming that the JSA will have back ups with the long-awaited resurrection of Grundy and hopefully Cameron stands with them. He's already suspecting too much again with Jordan disappearing in the middle of the night, he's gonna catch up eventually with his father's real colors.

I still wonder though about that skull themed puzzle Jordan was doing when he was spying on everyone. Unless it really isn't a skull and something else. It wouldn't be first time that something looked like another thing only to end up not being it, just look at the old photo Courtney had in her locket of her dad and believed it was Starman but it was just a coincidence.

And I really do hope that Geoff Johns releases the deleted cliffhanger that was going to lead up to S4. I'm sure that if he does it'll fuel up even more the fandom's campaign to revive the show and let it continue until it reaches it's natural 6 Seasons conclusion. :)
