Hal Jordan’s eulogy leaves Lanterns fans emotional

HBO’s Lanterns Episode 6, “Bad Optics,” delivered a moment that hit fans hard. Hal Jordan’s self-written eulogy played during his funeral in Rushville. The speech mixed humor with raw vulnerability, leaving viewers across social media deeply moved.

Hal wrote the eulogy while still in his prime. He originally addressed it to presidents and super-villains. However, the speech shifted into something sincere toward the end. He directed his final words to his successor as Green Lantern. One fan on X called the eulogy “very sad, emotional, funny” and noted its layered tone.

Carol Ferris, Hal’s canonical love interest from the comics, arrived at the funeral unexpectedly. Kerry Kane, who had been secretly involved with Hal, asked John Stewart to deliver the eulogy. Carol told John that Hal likely cared about him but never expressed it directly.

The closing lines of the speech resonated most with audiences. Fans on X shared the quote in which Hal urged his successor to carry on even in darkness. He admitted that flying was easier than staying grounded and questioned whether he mattered. One fan responded with a tribute, writing that Hal “mattered” and deserved to rest in peace.

Guy Gardner, played by Nathan Fillion, retrieved Hal’s uniform and ring for the burial. He warned that the Guardians would send him to the Phantom Zone if they found out. John Stewart stood at the grave contemplating the ring after everyone left.

The episode also revealed that someone broke Sinestro out of prison. John later dug up Hal’s grave and activated the ring’s hologram to investigate the murder. Two episodes remain in the season, airing Sundays on HBO at 9 p.m. ET.
