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.

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

Reflection on Supergirl Final Season

 

I'll be the first to admit that the news is still hard but there's always a light. 

It's been over 48 hours since the news broke that The CW's Supergirl will end after its upcoming sixth season. I'll be up most front about it that it still hurts to read it; let alone hearing about it. As all bad news has a sadness over us, there's always a light (like Kara) that can help us along the way.

Let me just get this out of the way that there are many reasons why the show is coming to an end. One of them being that of the production cost due to the COVID-19 has put on the network and production teams. Another is that the ratings have gone down for the last few seasons; with Season 5 being at its lowset averaging just 840,000 total viewers with a .22 in the demos according to the TVLive. 

While the ratings might have been the final blow to the decision making, let's look at how with the new Superman and Lois series that maybe it would be time for Kara to pass the cape and timeslot to her Kryptonian cousin. I don't want to trash the series (even though it's not something that I'm looking forward), but I've enjoyed watching Tyler Hoechlin playing Clark Kent in this version. 

But let me end with these thoughts. I've been a huge fan of the series ever since rumors about started and news of its pick up at CBS. Supergirl is the first female lead superhero series since Wonder Woman and it was pretty freakin amazing. This show was my introduction to the Arrowverse (even though I've heard of Arrow and The Flash series before but just never watched it).

The way Melissa Benoist embodies the character of Kara Danvers is amazing. This whole ensemble cast is amazing and the way they represented different cultures of race, gender, and ethnicity to these characters. 

While we are sad about the news, there is always the bright side to this one is that we're getting a final season with 20 episodes. Let's be grateful that everyone from the network, studio, producers, and star came to an agreement to end it. We're going to get a proper send-off than just letting the show have no closure. It's not just over yet as the show won't return until Spring 2021 anyway.  

And not to mention that the series has lasted six seasons, not a lot of shows these days last that long. That's probably one of many bright spots to take after the news. 

Who knows what the final season will bring. I'm sure looking forward to seeing where they will end things. And maybe down the road with them completing six seasons that they could possibly do a movie later down the road.

Supergirl Ending After Season 6

Well, it looks like the tenure for Supergirl has an early conclusion. 

On Tuesday, TVLine has learned that the upcoming sixth season of The CW's DC superhero series will be its last.

Production is to begin later this month with 20 episodes slated for the final season. The creative team has already developed the storylines.

In the wake of the announcement Melissa Benoist, who plays Supergirl/Kara, shared on Instagram, "To say it has been an honor portraying this iconic character would be a massive understatement. Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless.

"She's had the impact on me too," Benoist contained. "She's taught me strength I didn't know I had, to find hope in the darkest of places, and that we are stronger when we're united. What she stands for pushes all of us to be better. She has changed my life for the better, and I'm forever grateful."

Regading on the show's final episodes, Benoist teased, "I'm so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait fo you to see what we have in store. I promise we're going to make it one helluva final season."

Is this a bit of a shocker, yes and no. I was hoping that it would at least go seven seasons but once you take a step back and look at what's going on with The CW and DCTV; it makes a whole lot of sense. Superman and Lois are coming at the beginning of the year and I guess it would just be too crowded for two superheroes on one network.

Together We Stand: Supergirl Season 5 (Ep. 10-19) Review

The second half of the fifth season of Supergirl goes pretty fast into the post-crisis but delivers very well. SPOILERS!

While the second half of the fifth season of Supergils had some issues; it still delivered some awesome, exciting, and dramatic moments for this season. I loved out rounded and developed the characters this season with Brainy coming with his past and working with Lex Luther; while being in control of the DEO. Or Kara and Lena's relationship taking a nasty turn that Lena has to come to terms along with Kara about their decisions. Even Nia deals with her first experience of using power to help her roommate after she was attacked. And not only Alex dealing with the death of her father but gets a cool kick-ass suit.

This season really brought back characters; one of them that I'd really enjoyed was the return of Wynn in the two-part episode "Back from the Future." While it brought back a reunion; it also brought a bit of closure for Wynn; as he battles an evil doppelganger but also gets his father's appreciation too.  And while "Alex In Wonderland," Reality Bytes" and The Bottle Episode," were very good; "It's a Super Life," the 100th episode, was the most memorable episode; as it gives Kara a chance to try to fix her relationship with Lena but doesn't end well. And the ending with both Kara, Alex, and J'onn toasting to each other was a happy tear moment; as these three have been together since the pilot.

Now the one or two issues that I have had were some of the stories; as it was confusing at times after Crisis. I had to re-watch episodes; just so I could understand it better. The other was the character development of Andrea Rojas and Arcata; as I thought that in the second half of the season her character wasn't as effective as she was in the first half and that they just kind of wrote her to be here and there. Julie Gonzalo did give some very good performances.

I'd very much enjoyed the second half of the season. It had a lot of great moments in character development. And while the season was cut short of three episodes due to the COVID-19; I thought the season finale had a nice wrapped up to the season. While I give the second half of the season an 8/10. I give this overall season an 8.5/10.

You can catch Supergirl available on The CW app or VOD. Supergirl will return in 2021.

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.

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

"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.

"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.

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

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

"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.

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

A Not So Funny Valentine: 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.

You can catch Supergirl Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.

"Let Me Save You This Time" 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.

You can catch Supergirl Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.

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

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.

Two Different Sides: Supergirl "Bunker Hill"

Things take a darker turn in this week's episode. Here's a recap!

It seems that Nia's dreams are what keeping her awake as what she sees have scared her. One of them happens to be of Agent Liberty pointing a gun towards her. James and Kara notice the amounts of coffee she's carrying and Nia getting scared of a photo of Liberty. Kara talks to her and decides to bring Brainy in; after he tells her and Alex who Nia really is in the future.

Brainy helps Nia of what she sees in her dreams and sees Ben Lockwood's wife in trouble. She's closer to the truth; as Manchester pays a visit to Ben Lockwood. As Kara, Nia, and Brainy pay a visit to Collinwood; they get followed. Kara tries to talk with them, but they take them both to Lockwood steel planet. There Nia saves Brainy and Kara and all three members get taken down.

Kara sees the sign of the building "Lockwood"; calls Alex to tell her that she believes Ben Lockwood is Agent Liberty. Alex tricks one of Liberty's followers and confirms its Lockwood. Kara races to Lockwood's house was too late as Manchester and Lockwood have left and were heading to the steel planet. There Manchester puts a hold on Lockwood but traps Kara too. That was until Lockwood's wife holds him and Nia knocks him out with the 20-pound hook swung to him.
Lockwood and Manchester were taken to prison; but not before Ben starting another conversation that soon builds to the press calling him a human right activist. It even gets President Baker siding with the public ask Supergirl to reveal her identity, but she declined and is relieved of her duties.  
"Bunker Hill" was a strong and intense episode to be the fall finale. It opens up the possibility of what's in store when the show comes back in January.  There were moments to enjoy like Brainy and Nia scenes were great and along with them and Kara there just seems to be a real on-screen chemistry there. With Kara not working with Alex and the DEO, maybe she'll team up with J'onn and his PI team. They do work together. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl next week in the three show crossover event "Elseworld" starting Sunday at 8/7c with The Flash, Arrow on Monday at 8/7c and Supergirl Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

Choices: Supergirl "Rather The Fallen Angel

Manchester and Supergirl team up, what could possibly go wrong? Here's a recap!

"Rather the Fallen Angel" was a good episode, yet it had some lack in some ways. The lack in some ways was Lena and Adam storyline whether or no that Lean will go through with the testing on Adam as the human subject. And by the end, I couldn't get whether if Adam made progress or not in the testing, but from the look from Lena, it looks like it didn't go well. And her relationship with James seems to be not going well either.

Meanwhile, James makes the decision to join Agent of Liberty's group.  It leads to James being forced to do something he doesn't. But when Manchester and Kara team up to hunt Liberty down; it turned out that Manchester double crossed Kara and J'onn; turning her into Liberty.  Kara does escape and gets not only help from James but Manchester too.

J'onn meets with Manchester and finally, see what he truly is; that he would go to the ends of the earth to find the man that killed his wife. J'onn seemed to have failed Kara and apologizes to her.
Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.

Fighting Words: 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.

For Liberty: Supergirl "Man of Steel"

This episode we see the man behind the steel face of Agent Liberty. Here's a recap!

"Man of Steel" might be one of the best supervillain backstory episodes so far.  It captures the center backstory of Agent Liberty; Ben Lockwood was a common family man who worked as a professor at a university. His father's opinion about aliens grew and grew on him. Ben's frustrations grow and at the point sees his dad died during the season two finale event. That's when Ben is introduced to Mercy and how he got his suit.

From then on, we see the events as Liberty killing and causing trouble in National City. But when Mercy and Otis come back with Jensen, instead of killing him he thinks it best to use him to get inside the DEO. 

Meanwhile, J'onn saves Kara and they try to figure out how to save her from the kryptonite that Mercy used. With no options at the DEO, Alex calls Lena for hep and gives the one option to save her, for now, a prototype armor.

As I said before this was such an amazing episode and another strong, well-developed character story too. Sam Witwer did a fantastic job in this episode and really captured the meaning of what Agent Liberty is fighting for. Not only that but the moments or scenes with Alex trying to figure out how to save Kara was emotional and when bring in Lena was even more emotional too. Does anyone think it's time for Lena to learn that Kara is Supergirl? I think it might be time, but I don't like to pull that plug on it yet.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Fear: Supergirl "Fallout"

As the country is in anger about the President of the United States is an alien. Could Supergirl encourage the nation to show love and respect? Here's a recap!

The nation is angry that the President of the United States is an alien; and just as Supergirl meets with POTUS before leaving she encourages her to show hope. She does that at first when she saves a group of protesters who were arguing with one another; and asked to talk things out.

With the capture of Otis, Mercy is still out there and has another plan to make things worst for aliens. She steals an L-Crop employee's laptop so she can hack into Lena's company and deactivate her device that helps aliens disguise as humans. But when that failed but did some damage, Mercy shows up but not without a fight between Lena, which ended with Supergirl finally comes in to stop the fight.

With Otis and Mercy caught, it's over just yet as things around are starting to accelerate. Employees at the DEO have expressed their opinions about aliens living amongst us.  Jenson was one of them as he looks at Brainiac 5 and soon helps Otis and Mercy escape from the DEO and working for them now.
J'onn searches for his friend, who has been gone for a long time. After snooping around, he finds some clues that lead to a group gathering of an anti-alien propaganda with Agent Liberty as the speaker. He wants everyone to show fear and not hope.

I mention that Mercy tried to deactivate Lena's device earlier; which it did succeed when Brainiac 5 was getting pizzas and the manager was freaking out. But thanks to Nia who stood up for Brainiac 5 and saved him from a beatdown; but that courage got her to speak up to Jimmy that he needs to write an Op-Ed piece.  Even more to add that Nia tells Jimmy that she's a transgender woman and express how hard it was for her.

After listening to Nia's story, seeing an employee prank another employee and Supergirl's televised speech of hope and not fear; Jimmy wrote up his op-ed piece on what's going on in the country. But as things might seem to be okay, Mercy and Otis release kryptonite in the air and poisons Supergirl as she flies in the air.

"Fallout" was not only a  fantastic episode but it might have been stronger than the previous episode. I get what they are doing this season; and it's become so realistic of what's been going on in our world now, which overwhelms me at times. Not only was the writing strong with strong character developments but the character of Nia really shine in this episode and Nicole Maines gives a strong performance. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Hope: Supergirl "American Alien" Season Premiere

Well, we've been waiting since June for the season premiere of Supergirl. With everything going so well, there's a change that's coming and it's not in a good way.

We see that with Superman out, Kara has been pulling double duty not only rescuing people around the world like a train in Kazakhstan, but also working at Cat Co. On the one year anniversary of the Alien Amnesty Act,  there's a movement that are attacking aliens.

Kara meets with Mercy and Otis Graves, who stole a hard drive from Dr. Vose office. They use high technology gadgets on her. But later she learns that the Graves, not only worked with Lex Luther, but are disturbing weapons to take out aliens living in the world.  One of which tries to take out the bar, where J'onn was at.

Kara and Brainaic find that Mercy and Otis are going to take the summit at Camp David. Even thought they didn't take out the President, they literally lit the fire of showing video of the President as an alien. But Kara captures Otis, who's like Johnny Knoxville in a way.

But it wasn't til the end when we see  Agent Liberty, who's taken out aliens, killing one of J'onn's friends.

In the meantime;  J'onn has become a "life guide to a better life" guide, who's helping aliens trying to being around human beings.  Alex and Braniaic are not on the same page but meets on the same ground later. James was cleared of all charges as Guardian, thanks to Lena, who got dirt from her mother on Bruno Mannheim.

Kara meets with her new protege, Nia Nal, who's like Kara when she began working at Cat Co. Nia opens up to Kara on what she wanted to cover fashion. But when she express her interest on it at the meeting, she loses it over someone else. Kara not only gives her a nice pep talk, but almost acted like Cat when she was telling Nia that times a wasting "tick tock."

But the episode ends where Kara saved the train in Kazakhstan, underneath where we see the other Kara look alike digging a tunnel. Who could this be? I wonder if that moment in the season finale split Kara's anger and happy personality.

"American Alien" was an amazing season opener episode. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Alex and Brainaic. It was just down right hilarious from telling her that the President of the United States will be coming in less a minute. It did give us a nice sister scene with Alex and Kara. I forget that too.
The cast puts on an astonishing performance. Nicole Maines really steals the episode and I hope to see her steal more because seeing her and Melissa is just amazing.  I can just feel that after watching this episode that this season will be really amazing.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
