OK, I understand wanting to make her look younger for the show, but...
I truly hope they stop hiding this lovely young woman in awful clothes.

I truly hope they stop hiding this lovely young woman in awful clothes.
They just need to find a balance and not put her in something skin tight and overly sexualised.
Maybe they could even use it in storyline - becoming the new Dr Midnite gives Beth more confidence in herself.
When they had the big fight in the cafeteria I felt it was pity they had Beth being there and looking useless.
Have her start to train more. She doesn't have to match Courtney or Yolanda in the combat states but something more then being a lump on a log.
In terms of training, at least something defensive with evasion and rolls. She's there for support, recon, detailed info, on the spot hackling, and analysis. Some Judo/Aikido and she's not a monster in a fight, but at least able to get away from a fight. Or at least let her have an outfit that keeps her out of peril.
Mama mentioned nanotech, so it's safe to assume that's what we'll be seeing.
To "not put her in something skin tight" unfortunately would put those legs to waste.
It would be interesting if it was character development for her to stop hiding behind awful clothes that say "Don't look at me!"I don't hate the Infinity Inc. costume as much as others do. It's a product of the era. Lose the boots and the crazy sleeves and there's something to work with. An aramid cape that isn't so long she'll trip over it and it would work for me. That said, a character named "Dr Midnight" shouldn't be running around in sunshine yellow.
Adding it up, I'm fine with the current outfit with some fabric that doesn't look like a cheap polyester Halloween costume, a bit more form fitting, and a cape that isn't something she'd trip over, but would be something protective. But hey, they're not asking me.

I agree that there are many legit complaints about the finale, and the season as a whole, but, ultimately, literally a million characters showed up in this finale and every one who appeared I felt happy to see them because I like them all. So I enjoyed it.
I agree. I think that Sylvester, Artemis, Sportsmaster, and Tigress were mainly there to set up their roles next season. It's taken care of, the show can just get on immediately with the new dynamic.
Interesting if Sylvester and Pat have some conflict over Courtney's training. She doesn't need to go to school? Really Syl?
One more thought after a rewatch. That black shadow phlegm that snuck into Jennie's ring didn't make an appearance in the finale. I'm leaning towards it having something to do with Obsidian next season.

I'm thinking the same, especially with Nurse Love and Mr. Bones both mentioning Jenny and Todd.
Stargirl: Frenemies in 2022.
I was wondering who Keith David was playing. I still don’t know so I’ll just call him Spawn for now.
That is Mr. Bones.
What is interesting is that Bones' curiousity about meta-humans, as well as his apparently heading a larger operation would suggest it to be the Director of the DEO from the 90s Cameron Chase book onward, but it was the previous Helix version that had a connection to the JSA and Infinity Inc., and Nurse Love is probably named for Dr. Love who created Bones (and the rest of Helix).
The suit also takes influence from his supervillain/-hero outfit, but is still a suit and tie, and taking that as a further visual cue, I'd guess this version is an amalgamation of both versions (who, it's also worth remembering, is the same character at different stages in life).
I'm kind of hoping this will lead to Cameron Chase showing up. I'm a big fan of her, and I think she's one of the most underrated and underused characters in DC.

Emma Caulfield played a version of Cameron Chase in a season 1 Supergirl episode, but she was an FBI agent rather than a DEO agent, and she never returned. I always felt that was a missed opportunity.
Is a there a racial connotation there that the producers might be trying to avoid?
The black girl has black light, that makes every one black.
Your thought process is amazing. As it’s like a maze.
I read "Cameron Chase" and immediately thought of House.
Btw, Emma Caulfield will be at next weekend's ComicCon Germany in Stuttgart, and I'm going to take a copy of "Chase" #1 for her to sign.
It was also pre-Crisis, so easy enough to redo. Or just have her change jobs since.
Well, we're talking about Stargirl here, so it would be an alternate-Earth version anyway.
Hmmm...would they get the same actress, I wonder.
I didn't know they were separate characters.
Well, they brought back John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick, though they've recast or reinvented every other character who has an Arrowverse counterpart (e.g. Stargirl, Wildcat, etc.). Given that Emma Caulfield only played Chase once nearly six years ago, and since her version had nothing in common with the comics version besides the name, it seems more likely that they'd start from scratch.
The DC Wiki says it's the same character in different jobs. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Mister_Bones_(New_Earth) It doesn't even differentiate pre-Crisis from post-Crisis, but I guess that's because his history was kept the same post-Crisis. The character was introduced only a year or two before Crisis, so I guess his backstory was simple enough that it didn't need much change.
