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.

Crisis Has Begun: Supergirl "Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 1" SPOILERS!

Part one of the five part crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earth" began last night; while it brought a lot of Part one of the five part crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earth" began last night; while it brought a lot of nostalgic to the fans of DC comics but it also brought heartache as well. Here's a recap!!

While suffering from earthquakes, Supergirl and team learn that an anti-matter wave is about to hit Argo City, where Kara's mother, Clark, and Lois with their baby are staying. While Kara communicates with Clark the planet of Argo is distorted by the wave. 

The Harbinger picks up Barry Allen, Kate Kane, Oliver Queen, Mia Smoak, Sara Lance, and Ray Palmer from Earth-1 and brings them to Earth 38 to help save as many people as possible. But also Clark and Lois was saved by the Harbinger. While Jonathan, who was sent on a ship just before Argo was destroyed, was caught in a black hole and sent to Earth-16; where Sara, Brainy and Lois went to get him and also meet with another version of Oliver. 

While J'onn and Nia tries to get everyone to the safe point to be picked up; Alex pleased with Lena to help make the portal device to sustain massive ships of people of Earth-38. When Lena couldn't crack the code, Alex gave her the brilliant idea of making a few changes that set the portal to work. 

Oliver, Mia, Kara, Clark, Kate and Ray battle the anti-monitor's army to by more time to save more lives. When the Monitor appears he tells them that it's time to leave and get ready for more battles and transport everyone expect for Oliver, who still needs more time and fights the army; that is until Earth-38 is destroyed and The Monitor brings a severely wounded Oliver back. Oliver tells Barry that he had to scarface himself to save him and Kara. And just as he tells Mia his goodbyes, Oliver dies.

While The Monior didn't see that coming; the Parish tells everyone that everything they know is doomed. 

I thought that Part 1 was a very good kicking off start to this event. While there's some nostalgic that had me going "oh my god!" seeing Burt Ward and Robert Whurl while the original Batman theme songs were playing in the background. It poses a question to what happens now that Olive is dead or could that be the Oliver that we all know? It did feel that this episode was a bit of Oliver's mini-swan song in a way. Does anyone think that Oliver from Earth-16 will be a part of this down the road? While I'm not a big fan of the Superman character in this Arrowverse, I do appreciate how they are trying to make him more human as in wanting to be a family man than a superman. I don't think that's not wrong to do. 

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10. 

You can catch Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two tonight on Batwoman at 8/7c on The CW.

Supergirl Season 1

I was interested when I heard Supergirl was coming to television a couple of years ago since it came from the team that brought Arrow and The Flash. Even though I watched the out of episodes of the first season when it aired on CBS, I finally got the time to watch the complete first season this past week, and ma, n did it pull me in. 

In the first seas, she sometimes brought a lot of fun, thrilling, and emotional. Not only did the writing improve the season, but the acting from the ensemble cast gave the actual touching of what the show got to be. Mainly, Melissa Benoist shines like the light as Supergirl and gives a real heart and soul that you can believe she's Kara Danvers and Supergirl. 

Along with Benoist, Chyler Leigh, who plays Kara Danvers' sister, Alex Danvers, gives a real meaning to foster love and is the true heart and soul of what gets Kara growing as Supergirl. As Cat Grant, Calista Flockhart sometimes gets annoying but comes through with a solid performance near the end of the seasons—she's probably one of the most improved support years in the highest season. 

David Harewood initially got annoying as Hank Henshaw grew up after learning that he was J'onn J'onzz, which gave him a whole new meaning. After learning why he's taken his true identity, H is an actual figure. Mechcad Brooks as James Olsen is good and enjoyable but doesn't give fire, just that man in the middle when it comes to being with Lucy Lane and Kara/Supergirl.  

I loved the first season of Supergirl like I loved the first season of The Blacklist and ChicagoFiree: I couldn't stop watching it. With so many villains, such as Villainsvewire, Red Tornado, Max Lord, and the Red Kryptonite, it still gives me goosebumps. Still, it reminds me of what these characters went through to battle them, especially the red kryptonite that changed Kara's mind to hate. Benoist and Leigh still the show and give such a sister power that I genuinely enjoy. I can't wait to see Season 2 later this week. The first season gets a 9/10. 

Supergirl's first two seasons are now available on Bluray and DVD and streaming on Netflix, too. You can catch the season 3 premiere of Supergirl on Monday, October 9th, at 8/7c on The CW.
