Black Lightning Season 2 Episode 1 Thoughts

Black Lightning Season 2 Episode 1 Thoughts The Book of Consequences: Chapter One: Rise of the Green Light Babies

Are any of us surprised that the detective figured out who black lightning was I mean he is a detective he detects things? I actually liked the explanation last season that black lightning's powers prevent people from seeing his face. Cause in the first episode of last season when he saved his daughters it was hard to imagine people not knowing who is when the light from his powers made his mask see through. This season is the book of consequences and that's what we are going to get.

Shine Off

I think we all had one very important question to ask ourselves what shines brighter the interrogator's head or Jennifer when she glows, you may ask yourself do I laugh or grin at my own jokes and the answer in regards to this particular light show is that I'm beaming. His head screams wax on wax off shiny.

ASA Does Not Teach Camouflage Techniques

Usually, when people need to hide for their lives they don't wear a suit that is so shiny it could have them nominated in the glow awards this episode 1 or maybe for the whole of season 2. Were you going to try to blend at an MC hammer convention does this universe have an MC Hammer.

Give The Fight Choreographer A Raise

One of the things I liked last season was that it showed black lightning's athletic ability in the fight choreography he was not just some static guy overcompensating with his powers he uses his powers to enhance his athletic fighting style.

I really liked the fight choreography for this episode it does not take an insane budget to produce quality. When Syonide got stabbed in the neck I kept thinking that won't heel, I know that was a little lame but I could not help but laugh to myself.

Robbing criminals for money is never wise these people kill for money and you are taking theirs, this little streak cannot last they will communicate and eventually come up with a plan anticipating you coming for their loot with a trap set.
 I think with the emergence of the new metahumans we are all hoping and waiting on an appearance from static. That ED joke she came for the D, love the chemistry between them. Jefferson's ex-wife has had to watch him get hurt a lot as a hero and now she can be a hero Jefferson may have to experience some the same fears as she did watching him risk his life. I feel like we are going to see a lot of arguing in season 2.




Something To Lose VS Nothing To Lose

When I watched this episode I thought this season continues the theme of family from two opposite ends of the spectrum. Tobias has nothing left to lose and that makes me think he will be far more destructive this season. Tobias will not stop until he gets Kara and she knows who black lightning is giving her some leverage to bargain with black lightning. Why should he help her now he know she was a member of the ASA, answer the fear of losing his family and Tobias has just lost the last of his. Tobias will care less about the consequences of his actions and as we have seen the Pierce family who still have each other to lose and a community to protect will care more about theirs. Losing his position as principal and someone else discovering his identity this is just the start of the consequences to come episode one set up some great foreshadowing after all this season is called the book of consequences.
