If I don’t see John Stewart kicking ass with a fully charged ring in the finale I’m gonna be sooo bummed.

This season finale NEEDS to be like an hour and half. Maybe 2 lol cuz this is too good. Really don’t want it to end!

Hal didn’t kill himself, him getting the ball after his father killing himself and reading his letter shows that he won’t let go, his father said “it’s fucking exhausting” eluding to having to continue holding on and living

Noah is definitely Zoey’s human extinction plan…

I don’t think it’s fear gas. It’s Parallax’s presence. There was WAYYY too much yellow on that planet.

Hal picking up the baseball wasn’t him picking up his dad’s burden. That is Hal deciding that life is NOT fucking exhausting, and it’s something he’d fight a whole baseball team to hold on to. As a teenager he decided not to be his dad by defying him and fighting against his curse.

The sheriff killed hal jordan when he find out about Noah being a manhunter thats why there was no signs of a struggle when he got shot
He just accepted his fate

This show is so good but I didn't want the episode to end already. 😂

“I’m not fearless because I’m brave”

“I’m fearless because I’m broken”

I felt that.

Hal did not self-delete! His father told him to let go of the ball (life) cause it's exhausting to carry, implying that's how he felt about life. But after his dad's funeral, Hal went and got the ball back! It's his will to live, and also the ring because he would not give it up on the field. Didn't want to be taken out before finishing the game. Also, usually people who go out by GSWs don't shoot themselves in their own forehead. My top suspect is Sheriff Kerry.

Sheriff seemed too excited to see the safe

I still think it messed a coach allowed a group of children to beat up Hal for refusing a coach should help children. So it was nice to see hals dad beating the coach up.
