Naaim and Brandan talk &#8220;Dirt and Stars,&#8221; walking through the whole thing beat by beat: what landed, what didn&#8217;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 \u2013 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&#8217;s DCU might mean for John going forward. There&#8217;s also a brief, unresolved mystery about Paula Patton that we never quite put to bed.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Find us on Spotify at <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0344QeiMuYqzwiuOZAQKc4\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0344QeiMuYqzwiuOZAQKc4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find us on YouTube at <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/@glspotlight\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/@glspotlight<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Music:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRing Capacity\u201d by Kirby Krackle<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSector 2814\u201d by The Roy Clark Method<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; It&#8217;s season finale time!
