As long as I’m on the topic of Black Lightning…

I think Gambi’s a good example of how to write a redeemed villain/anti-hero. There’s both evidence in the plot that he’s working toward his redemption and Jefferson isn’t written as falling over backward to forgive him. It’s clear that his good deeds aren’t enough to make Jefferson want to forget what happened and have the same relationship with him and yet Gambi doesn’t hold that over his head and still is a good ally to the Pierce family regardless. I honestly didn’t think Gambi would make it out of the season alive so I’m curious as to what they do in S2 with his relationship with the Pierce family, Jefferson and Anissa in particular.

Power family! This show is awesome : D I like the little departures from the usual CW recipe! Also super in love with Anissa; what fantastic representation. She rocks my everything ❤

I wonder if Jefferson was an activist when he was younger in the same way that Anissa is before he became a school principal.

How does no one recognize Jefferson’s beard and peanut head with his height?

same way nobody can figure out that clark kent is superman I guess, lol

Jennifer said to Khalil on the roof after they were rescued that looking in his face was like looking into a light and that it’s blurry and for her it hurt

Yeah I noticed that also. It’s a good in-universe explanation for why nobody could see him.
