An older, more seasoned John Stewart who has decided to take the direction of his life in his own hands is now a successful archetect when his mother calls him and tells him Hal Jordan wants to apologize and wants to meet him in Rushville. From there the story takes us on a captivating journey that has John and Hal's Hal-ogram setting out to solve Hal's murder. There's been a lot of online chatter about this show, what they did wrong, what they did right etc., but in the end, season one has done what it set out to do. It tells the story it wanted to tell clearly and interestingly as an Green Lantern meets True Detective style series. The real question is does that work for you as an audience member? For fans, there are quite a few references and perhaps hints of what is to come, and we are definitely interested in seeing season two.

    Bonus Episode: Lanterns Episode 5 (SPOILERS)

    No Rest for the Weekend's Yasin Lago and Jason Godbey review episode 5 of Lanterns starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre. WARNING: this review contains spoilers.Brought to you by SIRUIClick the link and save: https://www.awin1.com/cread.phpawinmid=76364&awinaffid=3088621&clickref2=Sirui+General+LinkNote: Links may earn us an affiliate commission.

The car ignites into flames while newly revealed Manhunter, Zoe idly watches the horrendous event. Although, she does rescue him from a possible death sentence from severe burns. Her regenerative technology, including blood, is used to quicken the healing of the Lantern trainee, while also providing some background on her story up to now. Chief among them the deal made with the Town and finally confessing the events that would lead to Abin Sur’s execution. In the meantime, Hal is off to save the day. He checks in with his previous downloaded incarnation for a much needed news update before all Hell breaks loose. Rushville instantly becomes ground zero, first by the alien hit squad with their sights on eliminating their age old enemy. A temporary truce is made for a long coming shakedown with Will Macon and his militia on the compound. The head-on assault ultimately overwhelms both sides of the fight, exposing the former relationship of Antaan and the Manhunter. By the end of the battle, Hal stood victorious until the ring needed charging following an aerial attack from weaponized satellites previously discovered in orbit that obliterated much of the town. When he reaches the battery at the motel, John and Hal get into a street brawl in the room. By the end, the Manhunter, Will Macon, Antaan, Hal Jordan and quite possibly John Stewart will all be toppled from their positions. We lost quite a few characters in this week’s episode. A conflict that was building from the beginning of the show finally comes to a deadly confrontation. The results and consequences to be determined more extensively on forthcoming episodes. As of now, the futures of both John Stewart and Hal Jordan, yes even after supposed death, are now more uncertain than ever.
