"The staff didn’t choose you because of who your father is or isn’t."
"It knows all of my mistakes. It knows my dad isn’t Starman."
"I don’t know a lot about the staff – It’s always known more than I did about almost everything – but it always knew your dad wasn’t Starman, Court. It chose you because it believed in you. It’s just waiting for you to believe in yourself again, that’s all. Heroes can come from anywhere."
-- Pat Dugan and Courtney Whitmore, Stargirl: "Shining Knight"
Hello again, everyone! My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Shining Knight", the eleventh episode of the DC Universe/CW series Stargirl, featuring Brec Bassinger as Stargirl, Luke Wilson as Pat Dugan, Mark Ashworth as the Shining Knight, and introducing Geoff Stults as Sam Kurtis!
In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like Stargirl taking a pause before the big two-part Season One finale, some comics background on Sam Kurtis, wondering if Sam will return in Season Two with the Royal Flash Gang, Courtney facing the reality that Sam is her real father instead of Starman, Jesse thinking there was going to be something significant with Courtney's locket, the need to explore what the deal is with the Cosmic Staff, Geoff Johns borrowing some of Green Lantern Hal Jordan's origin for the Cosmic Staff choosing Courtney, the family unit being restored, Courtney finally choosing Pat to be her father, Pat punching out Sam, Justin hallucinating Pat and the JSA as the Dragon King as his minions, wondering why we didn't see Justin as the Shining Knight in an episode titled "Shining Knight", Brainwave threatening Icicle to stay on plan, the Injustice Society still not being on the same page, Jesse's love of Our Army at War comics, our favorite quotes of the episode, Watchmen getting 26 Emmy nominations, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Ken from Chicago, and more!
