S.T.R.I.P.E.

All Rights Reserved)[/caption]As we've heard before from actors who've worked with special effects-created "co-stars," Bassinger found herself "totally surprised" when she saw the end result: "When we're filming anything with Solomon Grundy or S.T.R.I.P.E., they're not there My Cosmic Staff, the creativity of how they use it in the fight scenes — it's not just[...]

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 […]

Heading into the next episode of The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl, we're beginning to see a number of storylines (and players) beginning to converge, and that may not bode well for Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and her newly-formed JSA. Courtney discovers Jordan's (Neil Jackson) chilly alter-ego, just in time for Barbara (Amy Smart) to have […]

Heading into this week's episode of DC Universe and The CW's Stargirl, we watched Courtney (Brec Bassinger), Yolanda (Yvette Monreal), Beth (Anjelika Washington), and Rick (Cameron Gellman) nearly go the route of the old JSA after a run-in with Lawrence "Crusher" Crock aka Sportsmaster (Neil Hopkins) and Paula Brooks aka Tigress (Joy Osmanski). Thankfully, Pat […]

Heading into next week's episode of DC Universe and The CW's Stargirl, things are looking pretty good for Courtney (Brec Bassinger). She's got Cameron Gellman's Hourman, Anjelika Washington's Dr. Mid-Nite, and Yvette Monreal's Wildcat as part of her new Justice League, as well as a lead on the Injustice League. What has us concerned heading […]

Then there's Pat (Luke Wilson) aka S.T.R.I.P.E., who's splitting his time between worrying about keeping Courtney alive and the growing conspiracies beginning to cast their shadows across Blue Valley Just ask the late Zarick's (Joe Knezevich) widow Denise (Cynthia Evans) Well, you could if she was in any condition to talk but it looks like[...]

While we would normally be using this time to promote this week's episode of Stargirl (though you can get some of that in a little bit), the fine folks at The CW are sharing a one-on-one between the show's late, great Starman himself, Joel McHale (Community, Psych 2: Lassie Come Home), and character creator and […]

Legacy, destiny, and the roles we play in our lives have been some strong themes running through the first three episodes of The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl. The generational divides exist with more than just Courtney and Pat, though those two are clearly on different pages when it comes to her future as Stargirl. […]

While we're appreciating the fact that the DC Universe and The CW's live-action Stargirl isn't going the "stepdad-stepdaughter" cliche route with Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and Pat (Luke Wilson), wow is the show filled with some tragically soul-crushing backstory. Rex Tyler aka Hourman (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) and his wife? Ouch. Despite the heart-to-heart, though, Courtney ignores Pat's […]

Our biggest concern? How long can Courtney and Pat keep their dangerous secret a secret from Barbara (Amy Smart) before our season's "big bad" force their hand?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-o1PQmr8gM Stargirl season 1, episode 2 "S.T.R.I.P.E.": LIFE IS ABOUT LEGACY — After Courtney (Brec Bassinger) has an unexpected run-in with a member of the Injustice Society of America, Pat[...]

Though the live-action Stargirl made its debut on DC Universe on Monday, Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) is set to make her debut on The CW (further fueling online chatter about an Arrowverse crossover, after "Crisis on Infinite Earths") starting Tuesday night. To mark the occasion, the network released a sneak preview clip showing the problems […]
