Lanterns Season 1, Episode 7 Review & Recap: 'The Jordan Boys Legacy'
Lanterns regains its lost momentum in Episode 7, as the show reconnects with the core Hal/John dynamic we love so much. Read our full review.
Lanterns Season 1, Episode 7, titled "The Jordan Boys Legacy," delves into the troubled past of Hal Jordan and the generational legacy of depression within his family. The episode begins with a flashback to Hal's childhood, introducing Martin Jordan (Jake B. Miller) and his influence on Hal's fearlessness. Miller excels in portraying Martin's dual nature of bravado and pain, drawing parallels to Hal's mentor, Sinestro.
Returning to 2026, the Halogram gadget allows for a reunion between Hal and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), showcasing their dynamic and Hal's less aggressive demeanor. Sheriff Kerry (Kelly Macdonald) also reunites with Hal, delivering a powerful performance. The episode maintains focus on Hal and John's investigation, though the subplots concerning Rushville locals and Maggie's blackmail are less engaging.
Additionally, Noah's (Shea Pritchard) character and his connection to Hal's murder remain ambiguous, hinting at a possible human/Manhunter hybrid. The episode concludes with John visiting an alien world, discovering a portal to Antaan's home planet, and the return of Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) on a dead world, raising more questions than answers.
Despite some flaws, the episode successfully addresses John's Green Lantern origin story and introduces intriguing elements for the upcoming finale.
