I'm definitely still enjoying it, but after how mostly light-hearted season oone was, for season two to be this dark feels quite jarring.

Season 2 Episode 9 - "Summer School: Chapter Nine" - October 5, 2021
This season does feel as if it is dragging, and I think that I can now see that the show runners are really wanting to make each episode feel more creepy, more scary, more menacing, by using the dark lighting, the creepy music, dragging some of the scenes out way too long. However the result is me not wanting to watch and I put if off and now am going through 2 to 3 episodes in a row, that being more watchable. In previous episodes Yolanda was targeted, the next episode was more Rick and Beth centric, this episode it was Mike, Buddy (the dog), Pat, and Barbara. Now that everyone on the team has experienced Eclipso and we have seen the original JSA's solution to the Eclipso problem there will be a turning point.
Courtney continues to annoy. Really, Beth and Courtney with a weakened staff plan to attack Eclipso and defeat him. There's that cheerleader enthusiasm. Can someone hit that kid in the head with a 2x4 and a large dose of some common sense?
OMGosh, watching the JSA flashbacks are a bit hard, they treated Pat as some lowly slave with no rights and how dare he speak to a "member".

Season 2 Episode 10 - "Summer School: Chapter Ten" - October 12, 2021
Again Courtney being so judgmental and berating Pat, just like the original JSA members. Since when does an adult in a parental role owe anything to a kid besides an expectation of being taken care off. So much of Courtney's attitude mirrors kids I see now, who want all this freedom, and no responsibilities, and the parents foot the bill, and how dare the parent expect anything from the child as they are this special snowflake who deserves anything they want regardless of the cost to anyone else. Courtney doesn't listen to Pat, is impatient when he tells her anything. He didn't lie to Courtney about the JSA killing Eclipso's host. He simply did not tell her. Then she tries to dump a quilt trip on him regarding Yolanda. OMG where is the 2x4?
I do like that Barbara's superpower seems to be that both good and bad men recognize that she is a strong and understanding women who would be a great wife, mother, and life partner.
Thunderbolt is back. The gingerbread house was so funny. The season desperately needs the comic relief.
Ahh, we might have a Green Lantern added to the team.
Can't say I am that sorry Courtney got sucked into the Shadowlands.
Interesting to note in the very last scene, Pat and Jennie are cast in shadows and dark tones while the red color of Pat's car is highlighted.

Season 2 Episode 11 - "Summer School: Chapter Eleven" - October 19, 2021
Hopefully a turning point episode with only 2 episodes left can the team defeat Eclipso?
I do wonder if Matt feels overlooked/overshadowed as everyone seems to ignore his comments and suggestions?
Is The Shade truly dead?

Season 12 - "Summer School: Chapter Twelve" - October 26, 2021
The series has been slowly getting out of the dark hole of Eclipso but from the pacing of this episode I do wonder if this storyline with linger through Season 3.
The highlight of the episode is Mike finding Thunderbolt and his new "master" Jakeem.
Jennie's dream/vision was scary showing that taking over Courtney is Eclipso's end goal. I was thinking maybe season 3 will be Courtney having a reign of darkness that the team must overcome, and that might sink the series with way tooo much darkness.

Season 13 - "Summer School: Chapter Thirteen" - November 2, 2021
I liked the upbeat positiveness of this episode as lets face it, it has been a bit of a trudge getting through this season. The last 5 or so minutes do reveal that "Summer School" was a set up for the team and what looks like a fun (for the viewers at least) season 3 with the new JSA surrounded by Frenemies.
