Yeah, I missed the third name too. I thought it was something like Carthact. Fortunately this article [All 5 DC Characters Introduced In Stargirl S3’s Infinity Inc. Explained](https://screenrant.com/stargirl-season-3-frenemies-infinity-inc-dc-characters/) explains: the last name was **Carcharo** ---

They mentioned another character by name, too–Kritter! (Showed him, too–he was the Golden Retriever with Tao Jones.) I was wrong that he was the one who was observing the heroes, but at least he’s there. ---

Interesting info: > Historically, shows such as _Riverdale_ , _All American_ , _Arrow_ and _Supernatural_ have focused on viewers in their teens through their 30s. The reality, though, is that the average CW viewer is 58 years old. I’m not quite 58, but a lot closer to that than 30… I liked (and sometimes really liked) most of the CW shows and its sad that they going away for even more “unscripted” stuff. Brian ---

I think we just have to come to terms with the DC television universe having had a pretty good run, with up to four or five themed shows per week at one point. Warner/Discovery is the masked killer in a horror movie and no media property they own is safe. I was enjoying Stargirl, but oh well. I’m guessing the final episodes were already produced so another forever-unresolved cliffhanger? ---

According to the article, production were informed about the incipient cancellation so the they were able to some sort of closure: > “_Stargirl_ has always held a special place in my heart for many reasons,” [Geoff] Johns said. “With all the brewing changes at the network, we were aware this was possibly the last season, so we wrote with that in mind and have delivered what I believe to be the best season of _Stargirl_ yet, with complete creative closure…" Even after the show ends, Stargirl will make at least one more appearance, on a crossover with _Titans_ sometime next year. ---

> Historically, shows such as _Riverdale_ , _All American_ , _Arrow_ and _Supernatural_ have focused on viewers in their teens through their 30s. The reality, though, is that the average CW viewer is 58 years old. I don’t understand their thinking. It hasn’t sounded like they are trying to change their demographic. What they have been airing has _ **already** _ attracted an audience with an average age of 58. They think they can retain the same viewers with cheaper-to-produce junk, therefore making more money? I can’t imagine viewership would increase with crappier programming. ---

A Nathaniel Dusk movie was playing at the town cinema. Nathaniel Dusk was a DC comic set in the 1930s with the titular character being a hard-boiled detective. Rather fitting for a season dedicated to investigating a murder. > **[Nathaniel Dusk (New Earth)](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Nathaniel_Dusk_(New_Earth))** > > Nathaniel Dusk is a New York City private investigator who began his career in 1934. He served in the United States armed forces in World War I and a combat pilot. After leaving the military, he worked as a policeman until he quit after becoming... So who were the monsters in the episode? It was the JSA, wasn’t it? From the Mahkents’ point of view, they were suddenly attacked by the group responsible for killing their son/father. Regardless, that fight was a banger. Plus Beth discovered her suit’s combat mode. Is she going to team up with Artemis for some training? The storyline with Jakeem and Mike better be going somewhere. So far they’ve accomplished absolutely nothing other than wasting Thunderbolt wishes. ---

I had been idly wondering why Mike calls Pat, “Pat” - but the background we got this episode provides a reasonable answer. Ultrahumanite! Woo! Ok, Courtney, if you must have a talk with Cameron about his father, etc., how about not having it inside the house with his grandparents? ---

In the trailer, Cameron is pushing to know exactly who killed his dad. There’s no way she’s going to say it’s Mike. I’m wondering if Sylvester will show up and claim to have done it. Or if Cindy tries to commit suicide by ice by claiming it was her. Or if Mike shows up and tells the truth. Or if Pat decides to claim it was him. There could be a “I’m Spartacus” type thing here with everyone claiming they did it. If Cameron doesn’t get an answer he believes, he’s going to assume it was Rick. I’m wondering how long before the other shoe drops about the art teacher. ---

Shit, there go the most supportive in all of Nebraska. How did Icicle come back anyway? From the location of his secret lair, I’m going to guess that his shattered pieces melted, drained into the sewer, and somehow reconstituted together, where he’s been hiding ever since. How that happened is the question. Maybe the Ultra-Humanite had something to do with it, but I rather think that the albino gorilla is actually a red herring. ---

UH probably killed the Gambler and is responsible for the cameras, but it looks like he’s working with refrozen Icicle; whatever he is, he’s not a complete misdirection I like how so many characters in the show are doing their best to be better, even if they can’t quite pull it off. I didn’t figure the Crocks for being sincere back at the beginning of the season, or expect Grandma Cold to have any hint of a conscience.
