Watch the Black Lightning midseason season 2 premiere online: CW live stream
By Zoe West
How can you watch the midseason premiere of Black Lightning online on its new night?
Now on Monday nights, Black Lightning is back this week for the stretch run if it’s second season. Though he surprisingly took a back seat at first, it looks like Tobias Whale isn’t just going to leave Freeland alone and let Jennifer and Khalil drive off into the sunset.
When the two of them left Freeland they were running from both Tobias’ men and Jennifer’s family. Obviously there are slightly different consequences to being caught by those two, but they want to avoid any of that.
In the episode’s promo, Jennifer is front and center. There’s even a glimpse of her in her “Lightning suit.” What isn’t obvious is whether or not she decides to reunite with her family. Their acceptance of Khalil (or not) might be a deciding factor there.
Tobias (and to a lesser extent The 100) has been fairly removed from the conflict this season. Trying to maintain his position as a newly respectable member of the community maybe. Doesn’t mean he’s changed at all, but he’s having other people do his dirty work.
The unnamed teleporting meta from episode 9 could be just another one of Tobias’ lackeys but could be more. He was headed for Freeland at the behest of someone, could have been Tobias, but maybe not.
Black Lightning is using Tobias’ mercenaries to follow the ‘meta of the week’ formula from several other CW DC shows. It keeps Tobias around, but unfortunately has pushed the pod children to the background. They seemed like they would be a really important part of the season at the beginning, so hopefully their part of the story will actually get some time during the rest of season 2.
