Everyone loves a good origin story… And since John Stewart is one of those comic book characters who don't have a straightforward origin story like Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, or Peter Parker, this was a great origin story for a character who is just as nuanced as Hal Jordan. I enjoyed this episode because it was quiet, but it had a lot to say about race, feeling chosen, dedication, and the overall theme of this episode: Fear. And what's more intriguing than the subtext of fear? Thank god for the YouTube channels that are dedicated to breaking down shows like this because without them, I would have no idea what the easter eggs mean & how they relate to the grand universe of DC.
