TL389 - Lanterns - S1E07 - The Jordan Boys Legacy

Hello Lantern Corps! We may be in 2026, but we dive into Hal Jordan's past. We see who and what shaped him into the man we know. We also investigate his relationship with Kerry and John.

Both Hal's father and grandfather were pilots and continued the legacy. Hal was taught to fight for and stand up for himself by his father. But for all the positive things passed down through the Jordan Boys there was something else. Hal's grandfather and father dealt with pain and depression. They each left a safe of things to pass down. They then took to the air and didn't return. They took their lives in ways that protected their families and legacy. Now we have an idea of why Hal was the way he was. He left a safe for John before he died. But he didn't leave a note, other than the Halogram.

This is John, Halogram and us questioning Hal's death.  Did he kill himself and was it covered up by the murder angle. Or did he let someone he knew kill him to end the pain. We have questioned why he stopped backing up the Halogram in 2006. Could it be, he wanted to preserve himself before he slipped too much into the state we see him in during 2016?

The Halogram can evolve and grow and seeing the legacy Hal left behind was hard for him. But he was impressed with Kerry and the relationship Hal had with her. Hal even praises John for being able to project him with the ring off. They open the vault and find a go bag and a paper bag with a portable wormhole.

The wormhole takes them to the ruins of Antaan's planet.  Zoe Manhunter caused a war between the people of the planet. A fear toxin was spread and people jumped off of their city in the air to their deaths. John spots an island and a canoe. The trip over is good for bonding between John and the Halogram. But the fear toxin gets to John. He almost kills himself but is stopped by the Halogram. They make it to the island and find Sinestro.
