It’s season finale time! Naaim and Brandan talk “Dirt and Stars,” walking through the whole thing beat by beat: what landed, what didn’t, and one very specific creative choice at the end of the episode that we may have had thoughts about. Along the way we get into the season as a whole – the front half versus the back half, the ring-construct budget, whether this works as a John Stewart origin story or just as prestige TV with a lantern on the poster, argue about superhero ethics until we somehow end up relitigating the Mutant Registration Act, and look ahead to Man of Tomorrow and what James Gunn’s DCU might mean for John going forward. There’s also a brief, unresolved mystery about Paula Patton that we never quite put to bed.
