I was surprised by this episode because I am not as familiar with the first Friday the 13th film as I should be. I was thinking that the death of Claudette and Barry would be something the series would build towards, perhaps to be a scene from Crystal Lake’s finale. However, it is episode 5 and they supposedly did a shot-for-shot recreation of the murders.
But the show had the highly drugged out Grace who stabbed the pair because she thought she was saving Jason from drowning by stabbing Claudette and Barry. Pam showed up right as the stabbings were done and she talked Grace down, taking the knife from her and finishing off Claudette herself. Claudette had confessed to Pam that she was having sex with Barry in the boathouse when Jason had died last summer. Pam creepily told the girl that Jason should have been watched at all times, as she plunged the knife into her side again.
Jason’s spirit seems to have already returned, and he was responsible for skinning the girl Willow, who Dorf had discovered last episode hanging in Crazy Ralph’s cabin. Ralph was as shocked as anyone when he saw the dead girl so he was clearly not the killer.
The camp reopened in this episode as a bunch of kids show up, only to find that there was not going to be much that they were allowed to do, causing several of them to complain noticeably. I know that whining from my own classroom. Of course, the mention of a nearby dead body was not the best way to handle that.
This series is making me want to revisit Friday the 13th and see how it compares. Linda Cardellini has been exceptional as Pam Voorhees and she almost makes you want to root for her… and not just when she is offing a long snake with a cleaver.
The new Laika top-action animation film was released this weekend. It was named Wildwood, and the trailers for this film looked tremendous. After seeing the whole film, it was even better than tremendous.
According to IMDB, “The adventures of Prue McKeel as she sets off to the forests outside Portland to find her kidnapped brother.“
Prue McKeel was voiced by Peyton Elizabeth Lee, and she was the main protagonist as she attempted to enter the Impassable Forest to save her little brother Mac, who had been abducted by a murder of crows.
The story is a master class in narrative storytelling. Everything combines together in such a perfect way and there are no loose ends or unimportant moments. Every character had an arc and the story did not leave anyone out. It is a top notch, emotional film that had me teary eyed in several moments of the third act.
It is also a masterpiece in stop-motion animation. It was the best stop-motion animation that I think I have ever seen. Every moment on the screen was gorgeous and filled with imagery and amazing color. I think this may be my favorite animation of the year.
The voice cast was powerful too. Along with Peyton Elizabeth Lee, the cast included Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Richard E. Grant, Mahershala Ali, Jemaine Clement, Tom Waits, Charlie Day, Tantoo Cardinal, Marc Evan Jackson, Jake Johnson, Angela Bassett, Awkwafina, Maya Erskine, and Amandla Stenberg.
This is an epic fantasy that does not spare on the violence because it is animated. Several characters are killed and it is right up front about it. This is not a film for the youngest of the kids, but mid to teen would love this. It is such an amazing feature that showed what filmmakers are capable of with the medium. Director Travis Knight, who directed Kubo and the Two Strings, Bumblebee, and new Masters of the Universe, was also a producer on ParaNorman and Missing Link. He clearly has some skill when it comes to animation.
There are not many flaws to this magnificent movie. It may be a touch long, but it did not feel that way.
I do not usually have documentaries on the year end Best Movies because they are more difficult to compare them to scripted films. Won’t You Be My Neighbor about Mr. Rogers was a exception.
You Can See Everything will also be an exception. It will be on my Best Movies list for 2026.
I did not know anything about Elizabeth Holmes, nor did I watch the Hulu series The Dropout, so I came into the doc without any knowledge of what I was going to see. All I knew was that there was going to be some kind of twist, and that this was very well received. None of that was going to affect my enjoyment.
The fact is that I think the documentary started off a little slow. Part of that, I assume, is that I did not know any of the story previously. However, one this thing got cooking, man it was something else.
Nathan Fielder was one of the co-directors for this doc and he was the main, on-screen interviewer. He spent the last 34 days before Elizabeth Holmes surrendered herself to go to the prison.
This doc really kicked off for me when Nathan was interviewing Elizabeth’s father, and Elizabeth’s partner Billy Evans, interrupted, causing the father to change his entire attitude. It was creepy and very suspicious. There was also an awesome use of Abbot & Costello’s Who’s on First.
I was very impressed with the amount of participation this documentary got out of Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes in The Dropout. The last part of this movie felt more like a movie than a documentary. I had to keep telling myself that the scenes with Amanda Seyfried were real. I thought this was designed so well that it gave me a total different feel (the whole scene about Charlie Kirk was uncomfortable as could be).
I was completely enthralled in the story this doc was telling and I was trying to figure out what was going to happen. Of course, doc endings are many times lacking because of the nature of the story. This ending was as satisfying as it could have been considering what had happened.
This is really not only a great documentary, but a great movie too.
The next film in the October 13 was a film that I had not heard about before, but found on Amazon Prime. It blended the horrors of a survival/revenge flick with the comedy of a dark nature. It worked extremely well.
According to IMDB, “Rivalries, dark secrets, and sexual tension emerge when three best friends find themselves stranded on a yacht in the middle of the ocean desperate for survival.”
This really mixed the two styles well, which is not an easy task. There have been so many horror/dark comedy amalgams over the years that simply failed to achieve the proper tone/balance. Harpoon hit a nice level between the two.
The best part of the comedy was the narrator, voiced by Brett Gelman (from Stranger Things and Fleabag) whose wry lines were the perfect soundtrack to the absurdity going on with these three friends.
The three actors who portrayed the central protagonists do a great job too. Munro Chambers played Jonah, Chris Gray played Richard and Emily Tyra played Sasha. They had a strong chemistry with each other and their emotions bounced around as we got to learn more about the trio.
Most of the film takes place aboard the stranded yacht and it created a real sense of isolation for each of the three. The use of Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, as a plot point.
There are a bunch of scenes that were difficult to watch. Some that were painfully bloody or stomach wrenching. They fit well within the story unraveling on the screen.
I was not sure this was going to be for me after the very beginning of the film, but it rapidly became one that I was invested in and I really did enjoy watching it. The ending was satisfying too.
So the next DC Studios movie dropped today with the debut of Clayface, a body horror film featuring the classic Batman villain.
Straight up first, as this is a Batman villain without Batman, this is better than any of Sony’s Spider-Man villain films (Morbius, Madame Web, Kraven) sans Spider-Man. However, I did not find Clayface to be a great film. At best, it is mid.
According to IMDB, “Rising Hollywood star Matt Hagen descends into a horrifying revenge-filled monster when scientific ambition strips him of his identity and humanity.”
What did I like about Clayface: Most of the CGI was strong. I may not have loved the last look of Clayface, but most of the brutal body horror was great work. There were many scenes where I could not help but squint my eyes or look away. Those were strong moments.
Tom Rhys Harries does a good job as Matt Hagen, the actor who gets his face cut up and comes to the become Clayface. I liked his performance.
The story was fine, but I have to say that the dialogue of this movie was horrendous. There was a ton of cheesy lines that really were laughable. I wish the writing was better because it was one of the biggest drags on the film.
I did not love the third act very much either. Some of the developments of the story near the end of the film did not work for me well. Again, no spoilers here, but there are moments that I just did not like.
I left the theater feeling mixed about the movie. There were things I enjoyed about it. I did not hate the film, by any stretch, but it feels like it is right on the line between positive review and negative review. In the end, I think I would say that I liked more than I did not.
The next two episodes of VisionQuest dropped on Disney + tonight and there are some big time stuff.
Jocasta made her first appearance in the MCU as a brutal AI killer. We get a background on her. And she was kicking Vision’s butt.
The first episode this week dealt with Vision’s damage from Paladin’s attack, and the relationship between Tommy and Vision is handled. Admittedly, Tommy was a little whiny in that episode, but that is understandable.
One of the funniest parts of the first episode was that they had to fix Vision by shutting him off and restarting him. Just like any tech.
My first thought about “Reboot” was it felt a little silly at times, but I loved how it developed through the episode.
By the end though, my mouth was so agape. When Vision let Ultron take over the body to stop Jocasta and he helped her kill her target, I was shocked. Then, Ultron was was going to keep Vision’s body. Whoa!
I am amazed at this twist at the end of episode four. Holy cow, it was chilling. I loved how they dubbed James Spader’s voice over Paul Bettany’s acting. It was so smooth that it almost seemed as if Bettany was doing the voice. It was definitely Spader’s voice, but if you told me it was just Bettany doing a Spader imitation, I would believe you.
I enjoyed the path of E.D.I.T.H. looking at her past in the real world. They mentioned how Tony Stark based the AI’s on real people (in the MCU). Ultron actually had a good scene with EDITH about this.
Oh, and Paladin was fired by the mysterious benefactor. There was a ton of mentions of JIM… Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch, and that is my guess right now about the benefactor. JIM is absolutely going to be a part of this show.
James Spader is so great. Ruaridh Mollica is a fabulous Tommy so far. I am not sure how I felt about Dum-E and U suddenly speaking. The whole U singing at JARVIS’s “funeral” was too sappy for me.
Still, I can not wait for next week. It was extremely well done.
The new thriller with a credibility-stretching premise came out this weekend. Whalefall sees our main character getting swallowed by a sperm whale.
According to IMDB, “Follows a scuba diver who, while looking for his father’s remains, is swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale and has just one hour to get out before his oxygen runs out.”
Austin Abrams starred as Jay Gardiner, the kid who winds up inside the whale. Josh Brolin played his father, Mitt Gardiner. I think that Austin Abrams does a great job, and he is having a big year after starring in the new Resident Evil film. I think he is a star in the making.
Now, the whale in the room is this… you absolutely need to suspend your disbelief in order to accept this premise. The idea that someone could be swallowed by a whale and attempt to survive is just ridiculous and implausible. If you can get past that, the scenes where Abrams is swallowed by the whale (thanks a lot squid) and trying to survive inside the whale are compelling, stressful and engaging as hell. I was fully tense the entire time Jay was inside the whale.
The film used flashbacks to give more details to the relationship between Jay and Mitt. Most of these flashbacks were okay, even if the ones that they showed were kind of heavy-handed. All of the flashbacks played a role in the situation Jay was in. The flashbacks were nowhere near as captivating as the scenes inside the whale. Josh Brolin was fine, if not good, as Mitt, but the character itself was fairly stereotypical.
The first two acts of Whalefall were tremendous and created such a suspenseful tone that it was feeling as if it was going to be one of the best movies of the year. Sadly, the third act was nowhere near as strong and, while still not keeping me from enjoying the film overall, it did bring my opinion of the film down. No spoilers of course, but I just did not think the ending reached the high levels of the first two acts.
The effects inside the whale were absolutely spectacular. They created such a feeling of claustrophobia and tension that the scenes were hard to watch at times. I was always waiting for the next thing to drop to cause trouble for Jay. The sound mix was perhaps Oscar level as the sounds inside the whale and the lead up to Jay being inside was just amazing.
One area that was a problem was the fact that Jay had to keep a mouthpiece in his mouth the whole time he was in the whale because of the toxic air in the whale’s stomach, and that led to Austin Abrams having to mumble a lot of the lines he had. It was difficult to understand what he was saying through much of the movie. So much so that perhaps they should have given an ADR for Abrams so he could be heard. It may have been used to give some realism to a series of scenes that had little to no realism about them. Maybe they could have placed words on the screen so the audience could know what Jay was saying.
I enjoyed this movie for most of the runtime, though it did slip from my initial thoughts of it challenging for the top 10 of the year to a point where it is a movie that I would recommend and liked, but not loved.
I did not think that the trailer to this new version of the video game, Street Fighter, was very good. In fact, I thought it looked bad. However, I knew that WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and Joe ‘Roman Reigns’ Anoai appeared as characters, and so, even with Cody displaying the ridiculous hairdo of Guile, I wanted to see the film.
After watching the new Street Fighter, I confirm that the trailer was an accurate description of the film. This really did suck.
According to IMDB, “Street Fighters Ryu and Ken reunite when Chun-Li recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament. As they face a hidden conspiracy, they must confront each other and their past-or face destruction.“
Ken was played by DC Movie Black Adam’s Atom Smasher himself, Noah Centineo and Ryo was played by GI Joe’s Stormshadow, Andrew Koji. I am sorry to say that neither of these actors were good in this movie. Ken was especially difficult to watch because the character was meant to be stupid. He sure was that, so maybe Centineo does a better job of it than I expected.
Oddly enough, I thought Cody Rhodes was the most entertaining aspect of this movie, as Guile and his incompetent, smart-aleck quips. I even got use to the ridiculous hairdo. Unfortunately, Roman did not get much of a character in the film. But he did look great. I acknowledge that.
The story of Street Fighter is so dumb that it takes away from anything positive that the film may have. I found it boring for a good chunk of the film and I could not close my mind off enough to enjoy it. Things happened off screen that seemed to be important to the overall film.
I do like David Dastmalchian, who is always a great choice for a villain, even if M. Bison is a one-note villain. Jason Momoa was in this too, but I spent most of his time on screen trying to figure out if that was Roman Reigns playing the role.
The film looked decent. I liked the color and the design of most of the film. The music was filled with needledrops that were really on the nose.
The ending was left open for a sequel that, I can imagine, that if you were enjoying the movie, you would have been upset at the lack of a satisfying conclusion. I had long since given up on enjoying the movie so the crappy ending did not bother me any more.
The film was too long. It was too dumb. It was not a fun kind of dumb. It was more the stupid kind of dumb. This could have had a role as a satire/parody, but it was supposed to be too serious.
I did like the animated sections they used to fill in the exposition. They should have done more with that. Any time they went back to the live action, this movie suffered.
This was much worse that the Mortal Kombat film from earlier this year. Thank goodness for Cody Rhodes.
VisionQuest debuted tonight as a third series in the WandaVision trilogy which kicked off with WandaVision and was followed up by Agatha All Along, and there is not a possible debate that this show is not dependent on those previous ones. WandaVision and Agatha All Along are required viewing for VisionQuest.
Paul Bettany returned as Vision, the same android that had been reconstructed by SWORD, this time white, and who left in the finale of WandaVision.
We all have wondered where Vision has been all these many years since he flew off out of Westview, and we get a glimpse into that in the first two episodes, which dropped on Disney + Tuesday, a day early than what it originally was intended.
James Spader returned to the MCU as Ultron, but existing inside Vision’s head, in a strange world where Vision exists in his attempt to determine what humanity is and how he is connected to it. Vision brought us a crew of former AIs from the MCU to help him in his efforts including JARVIS, EDITH, FRIDAY, DUM-E and U. Ultron was included among these AI as well. The interactions between this group of MCU AI was great, making a kind of family.
But family was more intricate to the story than just the AI. We meet Tommy, the boy that Billy sent his brother’s spirit into at the end of Agatha All Along. The scene with the swimming pool, which was one of the more dramatic moments with Billy, was alluded to several times, and Tommy had been struggling with his identity ever since. His memories of his mother Wanda and his father Vision played havoc on his mind, grappling with the confusion of exactly whom he was.
We are introduced to the character Paladin. He is a bounty hunter and he has been hired by someone to capture Vision. This is one of the mysteries of the show, and I have to say that I am extremely intrigued by the identity of this benefactor. I liked Paladin as well, played by Todd Stashwick. He used adamantium rounds… I mean… cool. Was this the first time adamantium was used as a weapon in the MCU? The metal was introduced in Captain America: Brand New World so i wonder how long the timeline is between that film and this show.
There was some sacrifice in these first two episodes as well. Vision’s friend at the bar in Edinburgh where he worked, was shot by Paladin’s forces. Then JARVIS, played by James D’Arcy (who played a real life Jarvis in the Agent Carter series on ABC) sacrificed himself after Vision had been shot by those adamantium rounds in order to keep the Vision alive and to keep the other AI’s active. I did not see that coming and his self-sacrifice (suggested by Ultron, by the way) was a powerful moment.
Vision and Tommy are together, on the run from Paladin, and certainly something will come from this.
I have to say I loved the longer episodes, with the two episode release coming in at over 100 minutes (episode one: 56 minutes and episode 2: 46 minutes, albeit with credits). This gave the show a feel of significance. Some times that was lacking among the shorter 30-35 minute episodes we were used to on Disney +.
The conflict of Vision and his efforts to figure out who he actually is feels compelling, and the acting is exceptional. And I love James Spader! I do hope that the person who hired Paladin does not turn out to be Ultron, although I do expect him to be an antagonist during this show. That would seem too conventional for a show that is using two of the best Marvel Disney + shows as its lead-in.
I am in on VisionQuest, and I am excited about next Tuesday.
I had thought that I had seen It Came From Outer Space (1953) before, but there was no review on the site. Because of that, I decided to add it on the list for the October 13. After watching it, I think what I was thinking was “The Day the Earth Stood Still” instead of this one. Both of these films were named in the “Science Fiction/Double Feature” song from Rocky Horror Picture Show, which may have led to my confusion as well.
I have definitely not seen this movie before, but it was a really enjoyable. These kind of sci-fi outer space films from the 50s have a tone about them that really sets them apart from other films of the time. They are also great in comparison to the more recent because of their low budget and reliance on practical effects.
According to IMDB, “A spaceship from another world crashes in the Arizona desert and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strangely.”
There was some good tension in the film as the aliens moved about taking over humans’ appearances in order to walk freely among them. The interactions between astronomer John Putnam and Sheriff Warren was fun, even if it was unlikely.
I was surprised when the Professor from Gilligan’s Island walked onto the screen. Russell Johnson played George, one of the earliest of the humans to be taken by the aliens and replaced. I have seen Johnson in other roles such as in The Twilight Zone before his most recognizable role on the sitcom.
I liked this a lot and it was fun watching the story develop. This film was not afraid to set the humans in a more aggressive manner when the aliens just wanted to fix their crashed ship and leave.
It has been a great year for horror. I spoke about it in a review just a few weeks ago after watching Resident Evil.
Then came Other Mommy.
They can’t all be winners.
Other Mommy was a huge disappointment because the initial trailer for this movie was so good. How could a trailer be so intense, creepy and disturbing while the movie it is from is dull, stupid and downright pathetic.
According to IMDB, “Bela, an 8-year-old girl living in a home with marital problems, confronts a sinister entity which comes out of her closet. The presence, whom she calls “Other Mommy,” becomes increasingly threatening to her and her family.”
Jessica Chastain committed to the role, but I was underwhelmed by the performance. It was funny at times, and that is not what the film wanted.
I will say that the young debuting actor Arabella Olivia Clark as Bela did a good job. She handled a lot of the heavy lifting in the story as she had most of the story on her shoulders.
The problem is the story itself was lacking in too many ways. There is no specific plot involved. What is Other Mommy’s motive? Not really sure. There are moments when the tone of the film is all over the place. It felt like they tried to infuse some humor into the story that just never worked and only served to pull me out of the film.
The biggest problem of Other Mommy is that, outside of the great jump scare that they showed in the trailer, this movie was just not scary. It was nowhere near as creepy or intense for almost the entire run time of the film. The trailer made me think this would be a tense and anxious film. Nope. I actually laughed at several of the scenes that were supposed to be scary.
I thought the acting was fine, but there are just too many problems with the film to add to the list of great 2026 horror films.
The finale of Lanterns was really good, in my opinion, but I have a feeling that it may not be as well received as it should be.
The mystery of who killed Hal Jordan was wrapped up with an interesting twist when it was revealed that Sheriff Kerry did indeed shoot him in the head.
Motive? She was protecting her son, Noah, who was revealed as a Manhunter. Noah knew he was a Manhunter and had healed Hal when Hal got stuck in a burning building. Noah had confessed to John that he had killed Hal, in order to protect his mom. Noah was the one who freed Sinestro and convinced him to forge him a lantern in exchange. Noah got the drop on John and got ahold of the ring, but he and John had a powerful conversation inside a car.
I say that I do not think the finale will be as well received because there was not much action in the episode, and there was a lot of talking. I like that kind of writing, but I know there has already been criticism about the use of the Lantern powers in this show.
I do think the episode was strong for the character element though, and watching John Stewart claim the ring and use the forged lantern to charge his ring with his own distinct oath.
In Brightest Day In Darkest Night I’ll embrace my fear… I’ll do what’s right I choose this ring, I choose this fight… In service to this lanterns light
Guy Gardner made another appearance and John told him what it was going to be. It was great to see John become what he was destined to be, but taking it in his own way.
Great series. I am sad that Hal Jordan seems to be done for good, but, even still, this was very entertaining.
I adjusted the rules of the October 13 because I wanted to do a rewatch of Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds. Typically, the October 13 is reserved for films that I have never seen before, and I did see this film in the theater back when it came out. However, I decided to include this one in the October 13 as a rewatch this year because I did want to give it a second chance, and I am glad that I did.
I remember not liking this movie at all when I saw it in the theater. I distinctly remember sitting in the Voy Theater and hating this film. I pulled it up today on HBO Max and thought it was much better. I still wouldn’t say that I loved it, but I did enjoy it more than that first time, and I am happy I did the rewatch.
According to IMDB, “An alien invasion threatens the future of humanity. The catastrophic nightmare is depicted through the eyes of one American family fighting for survival.”
One of the reasons why I think I liked this more this time than back then was I was not as familiar with HG Wells’ novel War of the Worlds at the time. Since I have read it and taught it at school and I have more of an appreciation for it. While they made many adaptations to it, there are several key scenes that come from the novel, including the scenes involving Ogilvy (Tim Robbins).
I was now familiar with the ending of the story, and how the alien tripods were brought down. I remember being really unhappy with the conclusion when I first saw it, but now it feels much more acceptable, if not even somewhat iconic.
Tom Cruise is solid as well, and we get some great scenes of him running. The two kids (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin) were annoying through much of the film, but they grew on me as the story progressed.
The film looked great with the tripods and the aliens, and the scene where the long tentacle searched through the basement where Cruise and Ogilvy were hidden was very tense and suspenseful.
In the end, this was way better than I had remembered, and, while it is nowhere near the top of my Spielberg list of movies, it is no long near the bottom either.
The first film of The October 13 this year is the first film of a franchise based on a video game from 2002. The video game? Resident Evil.
I had kind of wanted to watch this before I went to the rebooted Resident Evil from Zach Cregger, but it was out in September and I did not want to wait. I really enjoyed that movie starring Austin Abrams. Unfortunately, the original film, starring Milla Jovovich and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, was nowhere a good as the 2026 film.
This was tremendously bad. The acting was just atrocious. Milla Jovovich, who starred in one of my favorite movies The Fifth Element as Leelo, was just going through the motions, and sadly, she was the best actor of the crew.
There was LOST’s own Michelle Rodriguez, but she was just not bringing the goods. The rest of the cast was as wooden as one could be.
There were some moments that made me laugh loudly, even though they were not intended to. One example was when Milla made an acrobatic kick after bouncing off the wall, into the face of a monster dog. It was so ridiculous that it was embarrassing even for a video game.
The film did not look good. It was 2002, but it still lacked what I would have hoped for from the day. It was predictable and, while at the time it might have been more than just another zombie flick, since I am watching this is 2026, this is just another zombie flick.
Milla Jovovich is gorgeous and definitely stands out among the images of the violence and the gore, but there just is nothing else here. I am so happy the new film took a different direction, because it was heads and shoulders above this mess.
The penultimate episode of Lanterns takes a look into the past of Hal Jordan, while John and the Hal-ogram continue to try to discover the killer of Hal Jordan in 2026.
The show started off in 1975 and young Hal did not want to give up a baseball to another player who was replacing him on the mound. He was two outs from a complete game and the coach tried to remove him from the game. Young Hal would have nothing of it.
The baseball thing was, of course, a direct comparison to the ring that Hal did not want to give up either.
The Hal-ogram was fun as he encapsuled a happier, kinder, though still an asshole version of Hal Jordan with John. John wanted the Hal-ogram to use his voice to open the mysterious vault, but the construct wanted to meet the sheriff first.
After meeting Sheriff Kerry, Hal-ogram stated that she had killed him. Of course, the construct had also accused John of the same thing.
Later, Hal-ogram admitted that his own father had committed suicide and that maybe Hal Jordan had done the same thing. He called it the Jordan Boys’ Legacy, as apparently the grandfather killed himself too. Hal-ogram thought that maybe the guilt that he thought he saw in Kerry’s face was from her covering up the suicide, much like young Hal had done for his father.
They also found a portal to another planet. This was the same planet that the aliens from earlier this season who were searching for the Manhunter lived on and had been killed on by a poison gas. The gas nearly did in John too, but Hal-ogram was able to stop John from killing himself.
They came across Sinestro on the planet as well, leading into the finale next week.
I enjoyed the talking time between John and the construct and this made me wish there was more of this between John and the real Hal.
