I wonder if a second season will also be Earth based to keep the costs down.
HBO Max posted this sneak peak for the season finale on X:
For those not on X, the scene takes place in a bar in Rushville after Hal was released from prison. Kerry and Hal are on a date, it seems. Kerry gets up and addresses the other people in the bar. She says she likes him and maybe he deserves the hate but he is trying to make amends and they deserve some peace.
I was just randomly thinking about this and wondered something.
Maybe John kept Halogram materialized like with the bird. So the ring's charge lasted longer because it wasn't the thing sustaining or materializing Halogram all the time.
When they reach the island and John asks Halogram how much charge is left on the ring, he doesn't even answer and just says "maybe you shouldn't have lost the gun." avoiding giving any actual answer about the ring charge.
They are fucking with us, and I hate them.
That whole thing doesn't make sense like any superhero story, gadget or power if you look too closely at it and ask too many questions.
The Ring creates the construct but usually it goes away apparently when you take the ring off with the exception of the few Lanterns who can sustain constructs without a ring. Now how do they do it, are they sending out energy to the construct to keep it in existence and why would it break down if you remove the ring?
Given that we will never get a definitive technical manual on this made up gadget the rules are whatever the writer says they are and it's best to accept that and move on.
Nope.
If the TV story here is the same as the comics, which I am banking on, there is a really obvious non-bullshit answer, but it is dumb, so fucking dumb.
This article about how the effects were created may provide a rather large spoiler:
I just dashed over here to post that myself.
Yeah, that answers a couple of questions and points to what may happen tonight.
Okay, so...what, then?
Antaan's world was the Forge World.
Zoe used wormhole tech in her slaughterhouses. Maybe it was common to the Manhunters.
Zoe was sent by Liana to Antaan's world, to stop them from forging (maybe yellow) rings? But she just wholesale destroyed the place.
Hal had Zoe's wormhole that connected to the Forge World because he retrieved it from Abin Sur's ship and stashed it.
When Sinestro escaped, he fled to the Forge Island to make himself a yellow ring.
John and Halogram found the wormhole in Hal's pocket-universe safe, and here we are.

It's weird that the first suspicion I raised was that Kerry shot Hal because she was the only person who wouldn't have caused him to put up a fight... and then week after week the show reveals made me jump from that to something else and something else, etc...
and ultimately it really was that. Also it turned out the whole sitting down while shot was actually he fell down and just happened to land that way...
Wondering what the DCU ramifications are since John Stewart is throwing the gauntlet down and saying he's now in charge of Earth and Guy needs to stop operating on Earth.

I'm glad the finale wasn't a big CG fest. See Marvel, not every super hero show needs to end that way.
I noticed Dwayne McDuffie was mentioned in the thanks section of the end credits. Was there anything in the show he co-created?
Also his name was seperated from the rest of the Thanks list.

My guess is it is setting up why John will be the green lantern in Superman Man of Tomorrow instead of Guy.
Which I find interesting since I feel like Guy Gardner (probably helped immensely by Nathan Fillion playing him) was pretty well received in Superman so replacing him in the DCU (at least in terms of Earth) would seem a bit of a risky move.
I do think Guy is also set to appear in MoT. And, since Brainiac comes from space, that would make sense.
As far as I'm concerned, they stuck the landing. Gread ending to a great series.
Nice, though, they left Sinestro alive, alone on the fear planet, and also established that he can use the resources of that planet to forge a lantern.

In terms of what 'color' John Stewart is in terms of Lantern... I saw this story which has quotes from the series creators.

King then followed Lindelof by explaining why the Green Lantern oath doesn’t technically apply to John. “John is not a hundred percent a Green Lantern anymore. He has an unsanctioned lantern that has a bit of yellow and a bit of fear in it,” King said. “So he’s not saying the same oath as every other Green Lantern — just like a Yellow Lantern or an Orange Lantern says something different. John is this utterly unique creation that he chose for himself. So getting his own unique oath seemed to line up very much with the lore and where we’re going from here.”
So it seems the intent is to clarify John is not a yellow lantern. Just that his power has a 'little bit' of yellow/fear in it. I'm not really sure how that tracks with the way these powers are in the comics or if it may be something where the green becomes corrupted by that 'little bit' of yellow, although it seems like they are going out of their way to say he's not a yellow lantern.
Also in terms of a season 2...
Mundy’s season-two writers room has been underway for several months now. He told THR during the August press junket that he’d soon be going in to pitch season two to DC Studios brass James Gunn and Peter Safran. But as of the evening of Oct. 4, no official green light has been announced, nor did the finale press event address the future. That said, a recent report that the series averages 19 million overall viewers per episode bodes well in this era where even renewed shows are no longer safe. Time will also tell how Skydance’s impending acquisition of Warner Bros. Television, HBO and DC Studios affects matters.
There has been a writers room for months, but as of tonight there was no confirmation of a second season.
‘Lanterns’ Team Breaks Down Finale’s Emotional Gamble, Hal Jordan’s Ultimate Fate and John Stewart’s Future
Some viewers might take issue with one major swing, but the team sees it as "remixing" rather than "rewriting" Green Lantern canon.

When she regrew Kerry's finger she implanted Noah in Kerry. On purpose? Who knows? Billy is not Noah's father. Noah is Anakin Skywalker
