Supergirl "Rebirth" Season Premiere Episode Preview

We're just less than a week away from the final season of Supergirl. Here's a preview of the season premiere, "Rebirth."


"Rebirth"

In the season premiere, as Brainiac lays close to death after trying to stop Lex, Supergirl and team soar in to save him, engaging in an epic battle with Gamenmae. After beating Leviathan, Supergirl turns her attention to Lex who has used the Obsidian platform to brainwash half the world to love him and follow him at all costs, no matter what horrible things he does. Knowing how dangerous this makes her brother, Lena enlists the entire team, Alex, J'onn, Dreamer, Kelly, and Brainiac, to help but Supergirl realizes that the only way to truly stop Lex is to sacrifice herself.

Thoughts:

From the description of the episode, it sounds like a two-hour premiere event, but I'm sure it's not. While I am excited for the return of the final season, I just worry that the writers and producers might pull an Arrow death here with Supergirl sacrificing herself in this upcoming episode. I hope that's not the case. 

What are your thoughts about next week's season premiere of Supergirl? Leave a comment below.

The final season of Supergirl premieres Tuesday, March 30th at 9/8c on The CW.

Batwoman Season 1 Review

Amazon.com: TianSW Batwoman Season 1 (25inch x 14inch/62cm x 35cm ...



Exciting, character-driven, and full of action!  Here are my thoughts on the first season of Batwoman.

While the first season had some issues; I still quite enjoyed it very much. The series keeps the Batman anthology theme of dark, gritty, and very, very action-packed. But the one that I do enjoy the most out of this series was the strong character development. While Rudy Rose shows a lot of growth in the first season, she plays very well in the dramatic fashion; but also in the humor category too when Kate tries to learn the ropes of being Batwoman.

Along with Rose, Rachel Skarsten steals the show with her performance as Alice/Beth Kane. Skarsten's character was so interested that she had me more invested in the show than just watching Batwoman fight crime.  While both Kate and Alice have this Batman-Joker dynamic going; their relationship of sisters adds more depth. But it's the character's strong background story and development that wins the season over the other characters.

One of the things that I had an issue was the character development of Sohpie Moore. Moore, at the first half of the season, felt like a soap opera character; with one of the storylines being that her going to tell Kate's dad that she's Batwoman. But by the second half of the season, the character develops well enough.

While Crisis Part 2 was my favorite episode of the crossover event; other episodes like "Tell Me the Truth" with both Kate and Luke teaming with Julie Pennyworth, who I wish to stay on from time to time as they play well with one another. "Take Your Choice," "A Narrow Escape," "Off with Her Head" and "Through the Looking Glass" were a few of the episodes that stood out this first season with such entertaining, action, and amazing character development. And while the season finale ended with HUSH becoming the doppelganger of Bruce Wayne; I don't believe the show will ruin Bruce Wayne's character. Overall, I give this season one an 8.5/10.

I can't wait for Season two, but sad that Rudy Rose left the show. while I respect her for her decision to leave. I just hope that the show will find a way to address the change; whether it's a new actress taking on Kate Kane or a new character.

You can catch Season One of Batwoman available now on The CW app and On Demand. The new season begins in January 2021.

Decisions: Supergirl "In Plain Sight"/"Dangerous Liaisons"

Image result for supergirl in plain sight



"In Plain Sight" 

As the mystery unfolds about William, a decision is made for one superfriend and the secret is revealed.

As J'onn tries to track down Malcife; Malcife uses Alex to take down J'onn for what he had done to him. But instead of fighting against Alex and DEO techology; J'onn came out to his brother and apologiezes to him. Not seeking forgiveness I guess, J'onn uses the portal device to send his brother back to the phamtom zone.

Kara and Nia does some snooping on William and it takes them to Mexico to what is assume is a murder plot on someone. When Kara gets there, the victim was dead and William rides away. Both Nia and Kara learn where William is staying and as Kara snoops, she learns that William is undercover investigating Andrea because he suspects that she's doing something bad. Looks like William and Kara are now on good terms.

As James takes Kelly to their aunt's house, the town seems to be in poor shape. James learns that the town has been corupt and that no one sitcks for justice for the little guy. After witnessing all of that and hanging out with a kid, that lead to James' decision to leave National City and to be the owner of the town's newspaper.

The episode ended with Malcife not ending up in the phantom zone but at Lena's lab for which she hopes they will work together.

"In Plain Sight" was a fablous episode from beginning to the end. The James and J'onn storyplot was so good and overwhelming at times. It kind of feels that seeing James at the end of the episode has come full circle for the characrer; but I do think he'll be back from time to time. OVerall, I give this episode a 9/10.


Image result for supergirl dangerous liaisons

"Dangerous Liaisons" 

As Kara and William search for anwsers together, they'll unlock the biggest mystery to this invesitgation.  As William tell Kara about why he's so detertmine to take down Andrea that his best friend was dating her and ended up dead; or so he thought.

A new villain named Rip Roar steels one of Lex Luther's weapons and tried to use it to melt the ice in Antarctica. As Kara and J'onn stopped a massive water leak there, Nia stopped the massive wave from hitting National City. As Rip Roar is captured, Kara tells William that he is his best friend.

Meanwhile, Lena works with Malcife to work on her device that ended up betraying him by using his power against him. Andre gets a visit from the lady from Leviathan telling her abour Rip Roar and Alex and Kelly celebrated their first dateannivery a bit late; but they made it up.

"Dangerous Liaisons" was a good episode. Now that we've got to know William, I'm really liking the Kara and William investigation even when they were in Andrea's office during the late evenings. I thought the writing was good as well as the character development of William, mostly. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Love and Pain: Supergirl "Stranger Beside Me"/"Blurred Lines"

Image result for supergirl stranger beside me

"Stranger Beside Me" 

Love and hope is in the air in this episode of Supergirl.

As Lena tries to come up with a way to use Andrea's tech to help improve humans with their hate; she tries to get Hope, her A.I., to transfer her intelligence into a human body and that human body happens to be Eve. Ater pleading to Lena, Eve thought she was going to be let go; but instead gave Lena the location in her brain that can help Hope transfer into her mind.

After a hurtful reunion with his brother, both J'onn and his brother are suffering pain. Kelly helps J'onn put back his missing memories and even learned of why his brother was forgotten. But this won't be the last as J'onn's brother is planning to reset his memory using Kelly's device.

James and Kara are facing challeneges on their own. After James quits CatCo, he has a couple of job opportunities one running for Senate and the other working at a museum. But Kara faces some obstacles with Andrea, who bumps her down from beat news reporter to fashion reporter; but that all changes when she missed her deadline and gets bump down to copy editor. After getting advice from J'onn; Kara accepts the new posotion and not only done the work but gets ahead of the next day editor meetings.

Both Alex and Brainy are having a bit of a difficult time in the relationship department with thier partners. Alex just learned that Kelly is allergic to blueberries just as she was about to give her blueberry pancakes. But their love for each other is never in question. While Nia gets a surprise wake up call of her favorite breakfast in bed; that gave Brainy an idea that he could contuine to do what he has done but it could lead to something more drastic.

"Stranger Beside Me" was a very good episode; as it really dived into character growth with Alex and Kelly but J'onn and even Kara, who I have been enjoying seeing her character taking on journalism stories for the past year. I'm a bit surprised that William hasn't done a thing after seeing Supergirl and the White Martian. Also how much of a threat will Andrea be to Lena with what's she's trying to do ana all? Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Blurred Lines"

As the truth comes out, a mystery is upon and a love one is in danger.

Wondering what William is bad or good? This episode seems to be weighting heavily on the bad as we see him trying to ignore a murder of a well-known scientist. But will that stop Kara for covering that story or in this case slove whoever killed him? You bet she is!

As Kara and James learn that the sceintist had a tatoo of a spider in his heart; that led Alex to find a familar suspect that happen to be released from a DEO prison. But in this case, it's a diferent person but with the same motive. Kara finds a hidden flash drive that has a secret hidden key that even Brainy can't figue out. And while they try to stop the suspect and asked questions; she got killed. 

Meanwhile Nia deals with two different thing Brainy and J'onn. She helps J'onn with his memory and uses her powers to unlock what really happened between his family and brother. But later on Nia shows J'onn the real reason: he wiped his father and his memory of Malcife.

After days of overwheleming moments of food and poems Nia tells Brainy to take it down a notch and boy that didn't turn out too good.

Kelly thought she was helping out an old friend that happens to be Malcife; as he wants his powers back. Now that he got his powers back; Kelly is in danger and must be taken to a safe place as James takes her leaving Alex to find Malcife.

And as Kara and Lena have their first lunch together since coming out to her as Supergirl; Kara helped Lena to get her brother's journals so she could help her with her nightmares of the events last season. But it was all for to help with her study.

"Blurred Lines" was such a good episode; mainly between J'onn and Nia as they kind of felt the center point stories of this episode. J'onn's story was as heartbreaking as it could have ever been when he learns that he was the one that earased his and his father memory of Malcife. After dealing with too much Brainy, Nia tells him the truth but sometimes the truth does hurt and I don't think they're gonna break up anytime soon. But I have a bad feeling that this William dude is a pretty bad guy even when getting an envople of cash from a mysterious person. The writing and the performances from the cast mainly Maines and Harewood. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

New Season, New Look: Supergirl "Event Horizon" Season Premiere


New season of Supergirl with a new chapter, new chararcters and a family reunion? Here's a recap!

Knowing the true idenity o Supergirl from Lex; Lena who's hurt that her best friend in the world has lied to her about who she is; plans to expose the truth. That is until during Kara's Pultizer party  when Kara, who's been having the toughest time; finally confronts Lena about who she is, Supergirl.
After selling her shares of CatCo to a long time friend, Andrea; Lena plans to give her the breaking news of Kara being  Supergirl but in the end decides to hold it off and finds another way to hurt Kara in a way that she has hurt her.

Meanwhile changes are coming to CatCo and James, Kara and Nia are shocked to learn that Lena sold her shares to someone else. James and Kara try to stand their ground on journalism against Andrea, who wants more than just truth in a story but more buzz. After all of that, James decides to leave CatCo.

And as J'onn's broher makes his presence on Earth, he steals Superman and Supergirl Krypton tech to open a portal to let Midnight out. She tries to ruin Karas party but in an awesome Supergirl fashion action scene, Midnight gets contain and Kara saves J'onn from the portal. But that wasn't the end as J'onn finally comronts his brother Malefic and learns that hes here to stop what he and his father had started.

"Event Horizon" was a fantastic season premiere episode. It dives into what we're going into this season which is the relatiosnhip between Kara and Lena. Oh I can't wait to see where this season will take them. I enjoy the Brainy and Nia relationship and their moment at the hangout pub. The episde had good writing and good performances from the cast. That music choice for that action scene with Supergirl and Co. against Midnight was awesome; I'm gonna add that to my workout playlist. Overall, I give this episdoe a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirls Sundays at 9/8c on The CW.

"Superfriends": Supergirl Season 4

Image result for supergirl season 4



The fourth season was as jolting of high intensity drama as it could have ever have been.

I thought that the fourth season of Supergirl was a very powerful but overwheleming season that takes on the issues of immigration but also secrets and even family. There might have been a few episodes like "Menagerie" was a bit of a snoozefest to me. Otherwise, most of the episodes were pretty much good to even better.

While Benoist and the cast gave a great performance in the fourth season; the one person that shines throughout was Nicole Maines as Nia/Dreamer. Maines performance in the first episode is almost like Benoist's performance when we first meet her as Kara in the pilot.

And I thought that Jon Cryer as Lex Luther could be wrong; I was totally stunned by his performance. It wasn't just wacky but so brilliantly well done that; it was better than Gene Hackman or Jessie Eisenberg.

I very much enjoyed season four and while it made me cry at times; it was as better as the previous season. The writing was so good as it could have been; with the season finale was as powerful as I thought it could in the way that it concluded. Season five should be interesting and the Crisis on Infinite Earth will be an event unlike anyother in the Arrowverse. Overall, I give this season an 8.9/10.

Embrace Fear Batwoman "Pilot" Series Premiere

Image result for batwoman pilot



With Batman MIA, who can save Gotham City under a new threat?

The series premiere of Batwoman was better than what the trailers and promos have shown throughout the summer. We meet Kate Kane who's training to be part of her father's police force Crows; but things take a turn when her ex-girlfriend, Sophie, has been kidnapped by Alice and her Wonderland Gang. Kate decides to use her cousin Bruce Wayne's tech from the Wayne Tower to find footage.

Kate goes on her own way to find Sophie and meets Alice in person; but gets knocked out and gets healed by Kate's step-sister Mary. Soon Kate goes back to Wayne Tower and gets information from Luke Fox about where Bruce is at, but instead of getting imformation she notices something has been moved. The necklace of Martha Wayne was moved to the right and when she moved it back and soon the bookshelf opens as it leads Kate to the Batcave.

Kate sees that the death of her sister and mother took a toll on Bruce as he thought both they would have been safe, but it wasn't. Kate sees the gadgets and even the bat-suit, in which she asked Luke to make improvements to the bat-suit to make it for her.

During the Gotham City Movie Night, things were looking good; until Alice calls Kate's father to tell him that she planted a bomb in the area. Not to mention that she also has Sophie hanging on the edge of the construction building. But Kate comes in taking out both two goons and fights Alice, but when Sophie falls, Kate leaps to save her.

The next day, the top conversation was about they think Batman returning to Gotham City. Sophie is the only one that thinks that it's not Batman. Later she bumps into Kate and the two get reconnected, but Kate learns that her ex-girlfriend that she cares about is engaged. With that being a bit of heartbreaking news for Kate; her father that he really wasn't going to let her join his team in The Crows. As she's done writing in one of Bruce's journals, she goes over what Bruce has been trying to figure out where her sister's body was located. It turns out that Alice is Kate's sister and does she have plans for her.

The "Pilot" was very good and as I said before better than what I thought it would be coming from the trailers and promos throughout the summer. And while it's only the pilot, I think that with time I believe that this series could get better. I'm loving the character of Kate Kane and Ruby Rose's portrayal of her. Even the relationship between Kate and Sophie is interesting; leaving a shocking twist of Sophie's engagement to an agent at Crow, but also as the episode progress and trying to figure out who Alice could be the ending of learning that it's Kate's sister was w wow factor.

I love it and I can't wait to see where the stories and the characters lead through this season. I'm all in for Batwoman. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

A Not So Funny Valentine: Supergirl "Menagerie"

Image result for supergirl menagerie

Will Kara and Alex be the same after the previous episode? Will Nia come to Kara's side to fight for justice? Plus could this be the end of Lena and Jimmy? Here's a recap!

It's Valentine's day so it's pretty much appropriate for an alien to come crashing to Earth to kill humans and steal their hearts. That case leads to having both Alex, Kara, and J'onn working together as each of their cases has drowned to the creature Menagerie.  While it does lead to some Kara and Alex time; it's stressful for Kara.

Meanwhile, as Nia copes from the loss of her mother; Brainy tries to plan a valentine's date. After a talk with Kara; Nia decides to suit up and help Supergirl again Menagerie but even though they had a chance to stop and stun to the creature, the children of Liberty has raised with the son as the leader and sliced the alien's head off the human body. Think that was game over, think again!

During the Menagerie attacks, Haley goes to Lena for help on the President's behalf to stop the aliens. Soon after Jimmy comes with her Valentine's gift and quickly Lena tries to get them to go on a surprise trip, but soon she tells Jimmy about the contract with the President and her studies and even though Jimmy loves her, he just can't stand with her on her project. So the two broke up and Lena agrees to the contract with the government.

After all, was done, the President gets Ben Lockwood out of jail. But back in jail, Meragerine gets a letter from the Manchester Black which looks to be an invitation to join his team.

"Menagerie" was okay of an episode.  There were times when the episode had good moments and some bad ones that I just couldn't stay focus. The bad ones happen to be Lena and Jimmy; as it felt like the band-aid was ripping apart so slow. The villain in this episode was just okay. It really didn't have too much of character growth. The good would be watching Kara trying to find a way to bond with her sister, also I just can't get enough of J'onn and Kara as Private Investigators. And the Child of Liberty was good but I thought that story had run its course but I just they are adding something much more in this season. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

Home, Reunion and Rage:: Supergirl "Blood Memory"

Image result for supergirl "Blood Memory"

It's probably one of the best episodes of the season so far! Here's a recap!

"Blood Memory" is and could be one of the best episodes of the season; let alone one to remember with it's a well-written story about Nia; the connection of her family and the Dreamer powers. The character of Nia was really the focus character in this episode; as Kara and Alex were second in the way this episode proceeds. Nicole Maines gives her best performance so far and I would really consider that she should get a nomination for awards.

Kata and Alex's relationship aren't what it use to be now with Alex not knowing that Kara is Supergirl and even doesn't know what Kara's favorite movie: The Wizard of Oz. There is a spilled conflict between the characters; I'm very interested to see how this will play out.

Meanwhile, the copycatted Supergirl has run into what seemed to be health problems. After trying to revive her with the shock paddles, some of the electric went around the world creating alien rage pills in town. Later at the end, the commander calls for assistance in the United States,  I wonder who?
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Let Me Save You This Time" Supergirl "Suspicious Minds"

Image result for supergirl suspicious minds

With Kara not working for the DEO, that doesn't mean she's not gonna stop her from doing her one job: saving people. But when an attack occurs at a military ship, Col. Haley dismisses her from the scene and advise not to investigate. But behind her back, Alex and Kara try to find what caused the deaths of the military officers.

Alex and Kara get help from J'onn and looking forward to what is known as shimmers that can attack while being invisible. As they got a lead; they learn that these shimmers were experimented for testing. As Kara tries to talk to one of them, it kills itself instead. But one of them makes it to the DEO and with everyone using extreme measures like using real guns. As it seemed that they were losing the battle; Col. Haley gets cornered by one of them and is almost attacked til Supergirl shows up and saves her.

Haley gives her somewhat of a thank you, learned Supergirl's identity and demands to follow her orders til Alex knocks her out. J'onn comes in and tries to take out the interest of who Supergirl is. That is until they found a way; J'onn wipes everyone's memory of who's Supergirl; from colleagues who care to yes even Alex.Alex explains to Kara in one simple way "Let me save you this time."

Meanwhile, Brainy takes out Nia to dinner and in a first date proposal way, he asked her if she would want to join and help with Supergirl.

"Suspicious Minds" was a fine and interest episode. The one funny and happy moment was from Brainy and Nia date; to Kara and J'onn investigating at his PI office. But mostly everything else was very intense to say from mostly Haley and Alex's standoffs on what's right and wrong for the DEO and Haley's search for the identity of Supergirl. That quote "let me save you this time," has been stuck in my head and shed some tears. Not only was it heartbreaking but it seemed like another game changer for the show once again. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

Batwoman Gets Pilot Pick Up From The CW

Related image


Well, it's official Batwoman has a pilot ordered by The CW.

The CW announced that they handed a pilot order, which starts Ruby Rose ("Orange is the New Black") in the role. Rose's Batwoman made her debut in last month's multi-part Arrowverse crossover event "Elseworlds."

David Nutter will direct the pilot and Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries) will write the pilot and will executive produce alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns.

 It's slated for a potential Fall 2019 premiere, Batwoman would follow Kate Kane, the second incarnation of Batwoman character in the DC Comics lore that was introduced in 2006. She's described as "an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter" who is "primed to snuff out the failing city's criminal resurgence."

Oh man, I'm so excited! I'm sure it'll be picked up for series before the fall season begins. Ruby Rose really stole the crossover event over the other characters Maybe if it gets picked up that it'll be placed alongside Supergirl to make it World's Finest Night on The CW.

Prepare for What's Coming: Supergirl Elseworlds, Part 3

Image result for supergirl elseworlds

After two nights of full of excitement, drama and super amazing moments; Part 3 of Elseworld ends with Supergirl that not deals with some life changes but something more is coming. Here's a recap!

Continuing from where we left off in Arrow as Barry and Oliver learn that Deegan changed reality once again and has become the black-suited Superman. Oliver gets a chance to escape from him by calling his bluff to have him save the citizens. They come up with a plan to find Cisco but got sidetracked when they meet with The Mointer and learned that all of this is a test to see who's strong and willing.

As Barry and Oliver find Cisco and convinced him to help him us his power to get them into Earth 38, to get Clark and Lois' help. Kara is trapped by Deegan and uses not only Oliver and Barry's friends to help him but Alex as well. Kara talks to Alex and convinces her that she's not this kind of person and describes her sister and what she means to her. Alex helps Kara get free and meets up with Deegan but Barry, Oliver, and Clark make it back in time. 

Clark and Deegan fight, while Kara, Barry, and Alex located the book and gives it to Clark to help refix reality. Barry gets his powers back, Oliver returns to normal, but Deegan gets the book back and the team devices a plan. Barry and Kara use their speed to slow down time, while Olver meets with The Monitor and asked to help change history as both Barry and Kara are the sign of hope for the world.

Just as Barry and Kara are about to burst into flame, time slows down and Oliver takes his shot at Deegan and stops him. And both Barry and Kara are still alive after going mack 7 speed. After things changed back, Deegan's face is deformed and sent to Arkham in Gotham. Kara and Clark have a nice moment and learns that he and Lois are moving back to start a family. But a call from Kate Kane to Oliver gets worried about a friend that Deegan is making in Arkham and that friend is Psycho-Pirate. And a short teaser to what comes next fall "Crisis on Infinite Earths."

"Elseworlds Part 3" was a fantastic episode ending but a nice cliffhanger to what comes next year. This episode really gave a strong character development, mainly between Oliver and Barry as those two grew closer as friends and Oliver grew more as a person that shouldn't wait but have hope and go with it. Maybe he and Felicity will finally get back together. But let me just say this that this crossover was like the perfect freaky Fridays meet bosom buddies moments for Barry and Oliver that I enjoyed too much. Another thing, I WANT TO SEE BATWOMAN AS A SERIES!!! Ruby Rose killed it and gave us just enough to see her character and Gotham that this would work. Please make it work CW! MAKE IT WORK!!!

I thought there were some good moments for Kara too. When she convinces Alex the help her and describe how her Alex stands up to what she believes that gets her to be her own person. Also, the moment with Clark at the end was a good enough moment to know that it was like passing the mantle down of saving the world. Yeah, I may not like how it was done after seeing Clark get his butt kicked many times in this crossover but it was effective enough that I enjoyed it. And not to mention with what's coming next year that maybe that other Kara could be used in that situation. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. I give the crossover event a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl when it returns in January.

Fighting Words: Supergirl "Call to Action"

Image result for supergirl call to action



It's Thanksgiving and it seems that Child of Liberty are gonna pull a purge. Will Kara and gang stop them? Here's a recap!

With it being Thanksgiving, the Children of Liberty pull of their own way of the purge by stalking houses of where aliens live and torcher them. After Kara and Manchester stopped a group, Col. Haley orders Alex and Kara to stop investigating it; they did it anyway.

Meanwhile, Lena booked James to a around table discussion TV show; but he doesn't want to do because of his planned hangout with one of the Children of Liberty. It doesn't sit well with Lena and well James didn't go and instead had Kara go on there and discuss with Lockwood. Kara makes a perfectly good argument til Lockwood makes one last statement that got the audience buzzing.

As everyone comes for Kara's apartment for Thanksgiving, they discuss the agenda of Children of Liberty until Brainy brings out one of their mask that happens to have a vision sensor so they know which house to go to. Then everyone leaves to stop the groups even getting help from a dragon.
After his television appearance, Lockwood seems to have a nice Thanksgiving til he gets a call from the television host asking if he would like to host his own TV show. He accepts.

After things calm down, Haley tells Alex and Kara that she'll have the DEO investigate the Children of liberty. But meantime, Lena's Phase II seemed to go wrong with testing a heart that has tumors. But when Lena was trying to destroy the third heart, it wouldn't and moved to the next step: human testing.

Everyone becomes worried about Nia's sleeping too much and asked her about it. She admits that she has narcolepsy but wouldn't accept help from Kara or her mother.  Manchester captures one of the Liberty members and tries to get information. But James gets a call from the guy he was hanging out with and told him he could get him in to see the boss. But he had to be kidnapped to do it.

"Call to Action" was a good episode. It had some good moments that stood out from Lena and James fighting about their different opinions and he not wanting to do the television thing. Brainy and Nia meeting again for Thanksgiving. The dragon that appeared to protect that kid was an amazing and nice reference to Harry Potter. I would be very worried about Nia but I think we'll know more about her in the coming episodes. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Lost and Reunited: Supergirl "Parasite Lost"

With commanding officer at the DEO, how will this play out for Alex? Here's a recap.

With the episode starting off light and humorist with Kara and the gang having brunch; it was Brainy and Nia's reconnecting interaction that really stole the moment. But things take a turn and worrisome as well with Alex getting a new commander officer, Col. Haley. It seemed that she was going to be bossy with Alex and team but she's like what Alex has been doing.

When Brainy spotted Jensen, Kara and the team learn that Jensen isn't Jensen anymore; now a parasite that gives him absorbing powers and almost taking Kara's powers too. Lockwood placed that parasite in Jensen's ear so he would have a right-hand man.

But when Jensen's powers fade away that's when Lockwood got one of his followers to steal the power jewel from Amadei Derros. Once stolen, Jensen starts taking powers way from aliens that are heading to Derros' awakening and causes chaos for Alex and Kara. Alex talks to Jensen, while Haley wants her to take him out, but reasoning won in the end. Alex and Haley have some discussion about how that event went down, but things got to what we were thinking would happen when they first meet and that was Haley telling Alex how much J'onn wasn't a good man.

Meanwhile, Kara gets an interview with one of the most beloved aliens around Amadei Derros.  He has the power to help humans like a child in a wheelchair that can walk again. Well, after her interview with him, the public was really divided about it. It even got someone from the Child of Liberty to steal Derros' jewel.

But stealing that jewel would put him to death. That's where J'onnn and Kara investigate and learn of his daughter, Natalie.  But it wasn't her that stole it, it was Natalie's mother, who also pulled The Notebook between Natalie and Amadei. After Jensen took the jewel off of him, J'onn and Kara deliver it to Amadei along with his daughter and it turned a joyful moment.

Lockwood mad as hell after the lost; gets a call from James. They talked about working together during Guardian's award ceremony. But James plans to see what Lockwood is all about and maybe find that he's the leader of Child of Liberty.

"Parasite Lost' was a fine good episode. Even though the leading up to Jensen and Alex was okay. It was Kara and J'onn Private Investigation that really took and would love to see more of that in the future. Good character development, writing and the one moment that really stole the episode was Brainy and Nia reuniting since episode two. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

Go with Your Gut: Supergirl "Ahimsa"

Tensions rise on Alex's leadership and Supergirl's safety; while the search for Fiona continues with a little help from someone close. Here's a recap!

With Supergirl under commission due to the kryptonite particles in the air; Alex's leadership at the DEO isn't looking so good with Mercy breaking into the DEO. Even Kara, after waking up, doesn't follow Alex's orders to stay and not go. But Kara's suit doesn't hold a whole lot of power to protector as it loses it in battle.

Lena and Brainiac try to come up with something that will take out the kryptonite gas in the air for Supergirl. After Lena helped Brainiac with his emotions, the two come up to help Kara fight out there.

J'onn, who's in an anger of emotions, gets a visit from Fiona's husband, Manchester Black. The two talk and get a scoop from a cop on a location, but when that turned out to be nothing. J'onn uses Manchester's ring to get a strong link signal to Fiona so they would get a location. After getting a location Alex and the team get there at the Fair Grounds.

With Mercy and Otis at the Fair, Alex and Kara get there and fight. With Kara losing power and Otis putting a gun to her head, they get Mercy and Otis to talk and buy some time; Lena and Brainiac to get all of those kryptonite gas out of the air. Mercy and Otis are taken out before Kara and Alex could do anything.

Also, James deals with wanting to be Guardian again and with Nia trying to tell him it would be a bad idea. He goes out there and helps Alex and Kara at the Fair. But when Nia informs him that Guardian has been trending for all the wrong reasons with one headline: "Guardian of Liberty." Kara and Alex are in good spirits but Alex gets a commanding officer Colonel Lauren Haley that was assigned by the President. Liberty continues the work by placing the parasite in Jensen's ear.

"Ahimsa" is another fantastic episode that dives well in intense and emotional moments. Another moment for Alex and Kara that adds great drama between these two characters. David Ajala's portrayal of Manchester Black was amazing and freaking cool when teaming up with J'onn. It's not over yet with this character I think. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
