Stargirl: Important Season Finale Note; Brec Bassinger on "Epic" Fight

With the season finale of The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl now only days away, we're doing something a little different with our preview for "Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E Part Two" so that things stay spoiler-free (preview images throughout and the promo below). After last episode's moral conundrum left things with a lot of floating question marks around them, two things to keep in mind with the season finale: there will be an "interesting" twist midway through the episode, and you will definitely want to hang out for the entire (and we mean entire) episode, as apparently there may be an extra scene or two that plays into next season in a big way. Brec Bassinger (aka Courtney aka Stargirl) also looked to keep the spoilers locked away when she spoke with EW about the season wrap-up, but she did have a few things to say about an "epic" fight scene still to come.

"We had the best stunt team ever, and I have to mention all the hard work they put into it. It was just so fun finally having the whole team together. Throughout the season I'm recruiting different JSA members, but to finally get to all film this big, epic fight scene together, it was very full-circle and payoff for viewers, but also payoff for us personally." For Bassinger, smackdown between the JSA and ISA is one that's been building naturally throughout the season: "That's something I've really loved about this season. From the beginning, we were rookies and we got beat up like rookies would. We weren't just instantly these superheroes, but we had to earn this final great battle scene where we actually look like a team and look like real superheroes."

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 a bo staff, it has that personality and it's doing things that I don't even realize as I hold it. And so getting to see all those little pieces and parts come together, it always exceeds my expectations. But it also has me super-excited to go back for season 2 now that I've seen the caliber of fight scenes; I feel like my imagination will be able to better sell it when I'm there filming with a tennis ball and a 16-foot pole."

Stargirl season 1, episode 13 "Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E Part Two": PRJOECT NEW AMERICA — As the Injustice Society of America come one step closer to accomplishing their mission, Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and the JSA face off with Icicle and the villains of the ISA.
