I’ll cut the mushy feelings for now and save the rest for next week — when we will come back together for the BLACK LIGHTNING SEASON FINALE!!!!

In the middle of superhero spy conspiracy theories, Thunder punches and Lightning bolts, Black Lightning puts forth an important episode about police corruption in black communities.

We are three episodes away from the finale. Everything’s getting bleak for Anissa Pierce.

Thunder’s theme song isn’t about her. It’s about us. It’s about a community of black women, about our magic. It’s about the lives we have lost. Our pain.

Anissa learns about her family history and finally suits up as Thunder for the first time! Jennifer learns to never cross lesbian moms. And I made you all a homemade Valentine! You don’t want to miss it.

The black lesbian superhero saved her bisexual Asian-American girlfriend. It’s the fantastical fairy tale I would have never felt brave enough to dream for myself. Not as a child, and as much as I hate to admit it out loud, not even now, as an adult. Still, here it is.

This is brave and historic. But it’s played intimate and vulnerable and small and more than anything, normal. Just two people sharing together. Like we have seen straight people do a thousand times.

She’s ready to win over my heart, and I am very ready to let her.
