STARGIRL: Icicle's Back In The New Promo For Season 3, Episode 11; "The Haunting"

Ugh, I knew the Crocks were about to croak when they got that call from Artemis and they didn't cut away to another scene.

The following post I'm about to do here is about all the things that could carry on into future Seasons if the show can be revived.

Ever since the ending of Infinity Inc. Part 2 they began to set up things that clearly would be heading into the show's 4th Season in which they would have the proper time to develop them.

-You just don't mention a known legacy member of the JSA in the comics like Sandy Hawkins and just don't prepare to introduce him in any way. Clearly it wouldn't have been the classic presentation in the first S4 episode but we would have gotten to meet him at some point in the story and his arc with his super powers (the nightmares that tell him folks are in danger) could be used to set up the things Courtney and the others had to be on the look out.


-I don't think that this Season can end without Cameron finding out that his grandmother killed his friend and art teacher from school just for looking out for him. Unless Jordan's return is really going to be in these final 3 episodes the one and only thing in his mind. Either by finding Mr. Deisinger's body or through other means it must happen so he realizes it's not possible for his moral compass to side with his family. And I reiterate that the way his eyes turned again into those paint-like design just like in Season 2 when Eclipso got him should be explained. Why does he still has that and as part of what side effect? It should be over after Eclipso was defeated. What was the purpose to show it when he was struck with the icicle? All I can think of is that it was done like that to foreshadow a proper Paintball story arc and can make for a good character arc as well for Cameron to deal with him until he realizes that he might be over his head and requires the help of his not-so-"old" flame Courtney and the JSA.


-Is there even going to be time for Mike to find the closure with his mom that Pat wants him to have ever since he came back from the Shadowlands? Doesn't seem so, especially after he just found him and hugged him post the Ultra-Humanite encounter. Mike's very own abandonment issues could be developed to make him and Courtney grow closer. And to see him build his own S.T.R.I.P.E. as he told Pat in S2 would be another one.


-Rick's hourglass addiction is going to be solved within these last 3 episodes? Seems a little far fetched and it would end up paling a lot with how they did carry over with Yolanda's PTSD into Season 2 after she had to kill Brainwave. It must be explored and fleshed out in another arc.


-Cindy's transformation into a Dragon King-esque creature is also not done yet especially when she never found anything in all those labs she went looking around. Unless they really end up with pulling a Deux ex Machina with a wish for Thunderbolt that works or she is able to capture Ultra-Humanite and force him to undo this. Honestly it'd be better if she started to learn how to control it, find a balance for it and that can happen in Season 4. And I bet she would go to become actually fond of Mike and Jakeem in S4, they've found a good and funny dynamic in that trio.


-Beth finally gets the chance to fight like the rest and all that she's got to do is master the beta programms of the Mid-Nite Protocols. If that by itself isn't a task for a Beth arc like it was to trying to fix the goggles for S2 then I don't know what it can be.


-What is next for Artemis? How can this enthusiastic and competitive girl that just wanted to make her parents proud in the field move forward after this tragedy? The answer is simple by being accepted into the JSA, the team and family she's gonna need now. This can go in many ways and phases from how the JSA deals with easily a very angry Artemis that makes Rick's temper look tame and who could be a loose canon but also being there for her because she needs it. If they don't help her she could go to become just like Isaac did in S2: easily irritable. How does she deal having to see at school Cameron, the son of her parent's murderer? There's just tons of things that could be done and I'd love to see the JSA cheering for her at football games together. And I also think that she could end up being good friends with Beth, even sparring with all of the suit's combat modes and teaching stuff to Beth so she doesn't rely too much on them.


-The letter that the Gambler wrote to his daughter, Becky, which Courtney promised to find her to give it to her. Is there any time to do that before 3x13 ends?

And I could keep going a bit more with character arcs that show us how Yolanda and Cindy with Rick and Cameron end up transitioning logically from frenemy territory into genuine friendship terrain after Season 3's shaky grounds. Personally I'd like to see revealed to Yolanda that it was Cameron who painted that flower on her locker so that no one saw the s-slur someone wrote and also if the JSA is aware or not that Cindy leaked her pictures? Would that remain bury forever or it's just between Yolanda and Cindy? I am still curious about all's reactions to that.

What about Grundy's revival? Unless it is being saved conveniently for S3 finale. Will Yolanda stay forever at the Whitmore-Dugans? How does it affect her long-term to be at her best friend's roof? I bet she gradually goes back to being like before in 1x04's flashbacks.

Also who were those "whom" exactly that the Gambler heard about the threat of Eclipso in Season 2?

I think that's it. Because if not it's starting to look like half of all of these are those doors that will remain open for the future in case the fandom can successfully beg HBO Max/Netflix/James Gunn to help revive the show so it completes it's 6th Seasons plan and we can properly say goodbye to all of them the way that it should be, by seeing through Johns' vision for this show that means a lot to him.

@KingPatel @JoshWilding @RorMachine I am taking advantage of this current Stargirl/DC related article to gather your attention for some DC new content.

Can any of you make a thread about the promos of some new JSA and Stargirl comics books that have just started coming out this week to come out, written all by Geoff Johns and drawn by Mikel Janín and Todd Nauck?
