Stargirl Season 1 Episode 11: Meg DeLacy Previews Cindy, Shadowlands

DC’s Stargirl has been wading in darkish themes for a lot of season 2, however on this week’s episode, the superhero team-up series goes to a very darkish place – the Shadowlands, to which Cindy and now Courtney (amongst others) have been despatched by Eclipso .

TVLine invited Cindy Berman, aka Shiv’s portrayer, Meg DeLacy, to revisit the wild cafeteria struggle that finally led to Cindy’s personal “black tar goo” date, then give a sneak peek on the unlikely alliance that each Cindy and Courtney will type. (performed by Brec Bassinger) might save on this Tuesday’s decidedly moody, black-and-white episode (aired at 8/7c on The CW).

TVLINE | We final noticed Cindy in episode 6, on the finish of that brutal cafeteria struggle. When you first learn that script and noticed the way it ended, did you've got any questions on your standing with the present?
Oh yeah. Because so many individuals died in Season 1, there was all this discuss Cindy and “Oh, it’ll look like she’s dead, but she really isn’t.” But once I first learn the script, I assumed, “[Showrunner] Geoff [Johns]What’s happening?” He mentioned, “Don’t worry, there’s a whole arc planned for your character. But I really want people think that Cindy is dead because of the power in it, and the surprise for the audience once they see Episode 11.” I used to be gone for 4 episodes, nevertheless it was all well worth the wait.

TVLINE | The followers have been unhappy, Man! Even although she is a villain….
They have been so unhappy! I do know. They have been so unhappy. It was the primary time Cindy was actually terrified.

TVLINE | Well, I used to be curious: how did that episode 6 script describe the second? Like, “Cindy sinks into…” what?
It was like, ‘Cindy is slowly getting sucked into this black tarry gray and Courtney comes to her rescue, clinging to her hands and shoulders. Cindy has no idea what’s occurring, and for the primary time, we see Cindy purely terrified—in her faces and in her eyes and together with her scream.” It was form of like, “How are they going to do that? What is this ‘tar goo’? It was hard to imagine but when the stunt team came in and showed us a prediction[ualization] of what it would look like, I thought, “OK, this makes sense.” Because on paper it sounds a bit loopy!

TVLINE | Yvette [Monreal, Yolanda] advised me filming that struggle scene was… fairly one factor, as a result of it was so concerned and motion packed.
It was So involved. It was additionally one of many first instances the complete forged plus some reruns have been all collectively. We have been on this cafeteria for about two weeks and many of the episode is stunts, they usually final a very long time – as they need to…. It felt like camp! Walter Garcia, our stunt coordinator, is completely unbelievable and he dealt with each transfer and character in numerous methods all through the series total.

Our supersuits have been tight firstly of the season as a result of they have been new, however by the tip of Episode 6 they have been utterly damaged in and adjusted to the physique. [Laughs] Oh, and it was actually dusty! We had mud and particles and air [blowing] always, so when The Shade reveals up and we will’t see it and we expect, “What’s going on?”, that was actual. These have been actual responses.

TVLINE | How would you examine this week’s episode?
It’s getting much less action-packed, it’s getting more noir form of drama. This is the primary time we’ve had a black and white episode, which provides a cool dynamic to the present. It will present a complete completely different facet of what this present can deliver, within the appearing sense and so far as aesthetics and design. The Shadowlands is a fairly scary place, and slightly spooky. The present itself was typically slightly more terrifying, however this takes one other degree to that, as a result of it’s a world that no one actually is aware of something about. Cindy is caught for who is aware of how lengthy really or how lengthy feels like, and it torments her. It is our insecurities, it's our demons which can be launched to us day-after-day.

TVLINE | What is Cindy’s mind-set once we see her?
Well, she undoubtedly feels caught. She lives the identical day time and again – it’s a bit Groundhog Day-ish – coping with her father who reveals up on a regular basis and that she kills him time and again. She’s bored with all of it. She’s over it. She hasn’t actually let Eclipso get into her head the place her actual battle is her mom’s dying and the way she was chargeable for it. So on this episode Courtney and Cindy face one another [their demons] collectively, facet by facet. Two brains are higher than one!

TVLINE | It seems like this episode might fine-tune the “frenemies” dynamic between the 2 of you, amongst different issues.
It completely will. I imply, I believe Cindy at all times revered Courtney as a result of she got here in and referred to as the photographs when there was a complete plan with the ISA and what they have been going to do. Cindy sees Courtney as a menace, but additionally sees the potential in her as a pacesetter. It can be refreshing to see these two put apart their variations and their histories and work collectively as it's a matter of life and dying. It’s a cool dynamic that I believe the viewers will actually get pleasure from.
