Lanterns Episode 8 Trailer: Hal Jordan Resurrection and Season Finale Theories

HBO has released a trailer for the eighth episode of Lanterns, signaling a high-stakes season finale airing Sunday at 9 p.m. on Max.

The Search for Hal Jordan’s Killer

Episode 7 of Lanterns concluded with John Stewart and a Hal Jordan hologram confronting Sinestro on an unknown planet. The pair are investigating the death of the real Hal Jordan, and it feels like we’re getting close to some sort of answer.

Sinestro and the Power of Fear

The trailer for Episode 8 features Sinestro challenging the Lantern Corps’ belief that there should be no fear, arguing that fear is a powerful force. This appears to be connected to a plot to resurrect Hal Jordan, potentially using the alien cloning machine previously seen this season. Evidence of the technology’s use on Hal Jordan is indicated by a ring impression on his arm.

Hal Jordan’s Past and Potential Clones

The trailer also depicts Hal Jordan fighting a fire in his home, a scene that may have occurred before his death. Theories suggest Hal may have created a clone of himself to fake his own death, a possibility recently hinted at by James Gunn.

John Stewart’s Unique Abilities

Throughout the series, John Stewart has demonstrated the ability to manifest constructs without wearing a power ring, surprising even the Hal Jordan hologram. The season finale may fully unveil this special power, potentially allowing him to save the day.

Unanswered Questions and Fan Theories

The trailer leaves many questions unanswered, including the connection between Hal Jordan, Sinestro, and a portal to Sinestro’s hiding place.
