Featured review
Summer School: Chapter Eleven heads into the Shadowlands, a great episode with plenty of terrific performances
Summer School: Chapter Eleven is directed by Sheelin Choksey, the direction is overall quite good, having directed Chapter Five, Chapter Seven and Chapter Ten prior to this. Like Chapter Ten, this episode brings what the show does best and the story is improved immensely. This episode's script was written by Paula Sevenbergen & Robbie Hyne, their writing was felt throughout the episode with overall great writing and fantastic dialogue. The cinematography is good, with the sets and locations plus the costumes. All the departments did a terrific job with this episode.
The episode follows the events of the previous episode with Eclipso having dragged Courtney down to his realm. Chapter Eleven follows: In the Shadowlands, Courtney confronts her subconscious fears and finds unexpected allies in her attempts to escape. In the real world, Pat and Barbara find the injured Share at a movie theater and convince him to help them save Courtney from a fate worse than death
There were so many great character interactions in this episode, the scenes with Brec Bassinger as Courtney Whitmore and Meg DeLacy as Cindy Burman were some of my favorites. Also each scene Henry Thomas as Charles McNider / Doctor Mid-Nite was in, always nice to see the old JSA members in action and Henry Thomas is great in the role. Each actor does a fantastic job in the episode, mostly because of the writing is better and the direction given is better. Brec Bassinger were terrific in this episode. The adult actors kept amazing me, mostly Jonathan Cake and Amy Smart but also Luke Wilson.
In my opinion, this was overall a great episode. But I found the pacing to be worse than the previous episode, also having the child version of Eclipso doesn't make the villain that terrifying which the character should be, his original form is just that. The scenes with Eclipso should be scary to a certain degree, and they're under using Nick Tarabay as Eclipso. It was one of the reasons why I was hyped regarding Eclipso as the villain, the character went from terrifying to something the opposite of scary. Bad choice. Regarding the Shadowlands part of the episode, I really found it to be a cool addition and worked great with Eclipso and how the characters handled it. With all that said, I did find Summer School: Chapter Eleven to be a great episode of Stargirl, I'm just disappointed of how the second half of the season have turned out.
