Normally, this is where we would attempt some snarky, sarcastic line about how "it all comes down to this," but with The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl it actually applies in an unironic way The first of the two-part season finale "Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E Part One" comes at a point when pretty much every member[...]
