Yes. Lanterns Episode 3 confirms that John Stewart Sr. was genuinely considered as a potential Green Lantern before Hal Jordan received the ring. John Sr. is taken from his bed inside a green construct and subjected to the same crucial question Hal later describes publicly: “Are you afraid?” John Sr. answers yes and is immediately…
No, John Stewart was not officially chosen to become Green Lantern when he was a baby, despite what his parents later told him. Guardian Lianna only tells Bernadette that John could someday become an excellent candidate because he might have inherited whatever quality originally attracted the ring to his father. She promises that raising him…
Lanterns Episode 3 largely steps away from the Rushville investigation to explain how John Stewart spent most of his life preparing for a job he was never guaranteed to receive. By the end, however, the Guardians finally choose him, and Guardian Lianna reveals something Hal Jordan does not know: John is being considered as Hal’s…
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 Episode 6, Genesis, abandons the ruined Manhattan viewers know for something the franchise has never tried on this scale. Maggie and Negan meet as strangers in a present-day New York where the zombie apocalypse never happened, Beth Greene is alive, and Glenn’s murder never became the defining event…
Beth Greene’s appearance in The Walking Dead: Dead City does not mean the franchise has resurrected her or changed her original death. Emily Kinney returns as Beth in Genesis because the episode takes place largely in an alternate reality where the zombie apocalypse never happened. In that version of history, Beth never ends up at…
Dead City Season 3 Episode 6 strongly implies that alternate-reality Negan shoots Alan, the abusive man he had already admitted coming to New York to kill. The sequence does not linger on Alan’s body or explicitly confirm his death, so saying Alan definitely dies would go slightly beyond what Genesis shows. What matters most is…
Dead City Season 3 Episode 6 does show an alternate reality, but there is currently no indication that Maggie physically travels into another universe, dreams the episode, or discovers an actual Walking Dead multiverse. Genesis is a deliberate what-if story imagining what Maggie and Negan’s lives could have looked like if the zombie apocalypse had…
Lioness Season 3 Episode 6 changes the answer to one of the season’s biggest mysteries. Renat appears to have kidnapped Joe as part of a highly paid rendition operation, but Russia itself may not have been the final client. Sugar Land reveals that the CIA now believes Iran is the most likely government financing the…
Rooster becomes one of the most important new pieces of Lioness Season 3’s espionage puzzle in Episode 5. He is the handler who controls Cade McWeaver, but capturing him also allows Joe’s team to uncover a recruitment operation that appears to stretch back to the university system and Professor Richard Ealy. The episode eventually identifies…
Professor Richard Ealy initially looks like a university academic whose controversial politics happen to attract Joe’s attention, but Lioness Season 3 Episode 5 reveals something far more serious. Investigators believe Ealy sits near the beginning of the recruitment system that eventually compromised Cade McWeaver and exposed sensitive information to a Chinese intelligence-linked operative. Joe personally…
Lioness Season 3 Episode 5 spends most of its runtime dismantling foreign intelligence operations, but its title only becomes fully clear near the end. The Idiot Army refers to something Joe considers more dangerous than conventional spies: ordinary people, influential figures and ideological sympathizers who can advance an adversary’s objectives without necessarily seeing themselves as…
Aksel Söderberg’s death was not an accident. The Secret Woman ultimately reveals that Caroline, Edmund’s mother and Aksel’s former secretary, was responsible for killing him after he began trying to confess the truth about the criminal operation tied to Söderberg Shipping. Aksel had apparently fallen down the stairs, making his death look accidental, but Caroline’s…
