The Dark Truth About Hal Jordan's Legacy | Lanterns Episode 7

Lanterns Episode 7 just changed everything we thought about Hal Jordan. The Jordan Boys Legacy is darker than anyone expected.

Sarah Belmont and Will Polk break down Scene N Nerd's full reaction to Lanterns Episode 7 "The Jordan Boys Legacy" — Hal's origin and the baseball he refused to let go, John's deepest fear that he never wanted to be a Green Lantern, the raw boat conversation between John and the Hal hologram, and why Noah is now our #1 suspect for Hal's murder.

Was Hal rebelling against a family curse? Did he break Sinestro out? And what did Hal really mean when he said John was like "a football team who's always giving you hope and then letting you down"? We get into fathers and sons, vulnerability, Kerry Kane's grief, and James Gunn's Peacemaker fingerprints all over this one.
