Good Night, Spider-Woman. Warning: Spoilers
Spider-Woman. TV Series. Season 1. Episode 16. -------A DEADLY DREAM.-------

Good Night, Spider-Woman.

Another Sci-Fi plot. The army finds out an old spaceship, and inside of it the frozen body of an armored woman. The woman and the piece of ice where she is, are made to be cared of by a man who turns up the heater only because he feels cold , thus, releasing the woman from her prison, as they had made really no special arrangements to properly keep the finding as setting a special recipient . This point could be a plot hole or a subtle social critic of some kind, I prefer to think it is the second one. Once the woman is released, she uses some kind of beam from her eyes to make people sleep and make them her prisoners in the dream world.

We will have an episode with Spider-Woman fighting this entity both in the physical and the dream-world until she finally defeats her being maybe the most interesting part of the episode its final scene and line:

+++++++ Jessica wakes up in the Justice Magazine´s hybrid helicopter, and after a small talk with Jeff, she looks towards you and says:

---GOOD NIGHT, SPIDER-WOMAN----

Then she closes an eye for you and the episode finishes.+++++++

It doesn´t make much sense unless you know that this, the 16th episode, is the final one, by saying --"Good night, Spider-Woman"--, she is saying good bye to the series and her personification of Spider-Woman (remember she is Jessica at that moment)... and by closing an eye she is saying goodbye to the audience, that is, to me and YOU.

A nice final line and episode if ask me.

Thanks for reading.
