Lanterns Episode 5: We Think Hal Is Still Hiding Something
Screen Time
300 views
Hal keeps giving us reasons not to trust him. We still think he knows more than he’s saying.
Josh and Jered break down Lanterns Season 1, Episode 5, “Lights Out.” We both enjoyed the action, but Hal and John’s confrontation leaves us questioning motives—not just picking a side.
Josh thinks Hal’s choices could make more sense once the whole story comes out. Jered agrees another reveal may be coming, but isn’t convinced that makes Hal the good guy. We discuss Zoe’s influence, the possibility of another Manhunter, and what John’s final decision says about who deserves the ring.
After Listener Feedback and our Emmys discussion, Jered revisits Lawrence of Arabia and draws connections to Dune. Josh finally watches Solo Leveling Season 1 after Lucas’s recommendation, alongside reviews of One Night Only and May Day.
In Off Script, Jered shares his thoughts on God Emperor of Dune, and Josh explains why Ocarina of Time’s dungeons still mean so much to him. Then we choose the best things we watched or read this week.
Is Hal hiding a bigger plan—or are we giving him too much credit?
SPOILER WARNING:
Includes Lanterns spoilers through Season 1, Episode 5, and Solo Leveling Season 1 plot details. We also discuss story elements from One Night Only and May Day.
