My only guess is that when the "hal o gram" came back online he also got an upload from the GL corp that may have tipped him off.
This. I was thinking that someone other than Hal using the ring triggered the ring to go into an update mode that notified the Guardians or brought the Halogram forward to access the situation. In the comics you had situations where GL's died and the ring sought out their replacement and began their crash-course training until the Guardians could get to them. Hence the Halogram thinking the worst when he saw someone wearing "his" ring.

I took it as more of an alarm system. Hal set it up to be notified when that type of event takes place.

the problem is believing what the trailer said is actually true. i don't want to spoil more though.
Well I wouldn't say I believe it's true. Obviously there can be more than one Green Lantern per sector, and if we really want to get into it then technically there can be more than one Green Lantern per ring. I doubt they're going to be going that deep into Green Lantern lore, but they do at least show both Hal and John using this ring.
That said, they definitely wanted us to believe it's true within the context of this show. It wasn't a stretch for anyone to draw the conclusion that Hal Jordan would die. It would have been more of a stretch to believe he wouldn't.

Yep this is also what I took from it.

This should be the movie/tv boards tagline now. I'm going to hate on it and tell the people that have watched it all about the show and it's messaging before I even watch it. Pretty much what this board is now.
It really is exhausting because that appears to be the most active posters. It sucks. They suck.
First episode has me hooked. I went in not expecting much honestly.

The person you quoted wasn't hating on the show.

I mean...in this timeline, when John returns, Guy is in Metropolis with Superman...
So obviously there can be more than one.

Well I don't know about all that. When this show ended in 2026, there was no GL ring on the screen. I'm betting that is why Guy Gardner was shown in previews. It will at least be addressed in some fashion.
There are obviously always more than one Green Lantern. Just usually only one per ring.

We dont know that John has taken over for Hal. It looks like he hasnt, thats why he checks for a ring.
It seems that they may be hinting that Guy took over for Hal. but like the comics, they could have multiple GLs at some point.
im wondering if we see a Parallax type story come into play. We know Sinetro is in the show. Could see the Sinestro Corp. Could see Hal join that as this version of Parallax.
The Green Lantern mythos is pretty deep so the show really has a ton of different avenues to go down. excited to see what they choose to do.

Watched Ep 1
Yeah, they are going to have some cringe ham-fisted BLM dog whistles. . .but that aside, shite was fire.
Aaron Pierre is a quiet scene stealer, man
Reminds me of Denzel and Clint Eastwood in that respect

Stupid to expect "no spoilers" to mean "don't talk about what people employed by the show are saying about the show"
In interviews timed to release after the airing of the first episode. Because they're understood to include spoilers.

70s or something. John was a kid.
ETA: Mid-80s, apparently.

Without a doubt. Will almost certainly be something said about "aliens" looking for a new home too. More than they already did, I mean.

It already started, and what I stated already happened.
ETA: And let's not forget that we identified an "alien" from outer space because a country bumpkin couldn't possibly not give a crap about "Barack Husein Obama." Pretty dumb moment tbh. And of course the alien is just absolutely certain that all the leftist climate change logic is 100% real.
It was a good first episode, but James Gunn splatters this crap throughout everything. It's not "going out on a limb" when it's already happened.

Jesus Christ. can we just stick to the detective comic elements?
Is so much to ask that one fricking show thread sticks to the show and not turn into the poliboard?
The ones who rally for no politics are always the one to turn every thread. it's banal at this point.
