The Review at the End of the Universe
“Back From the Future – Part 1” Supergirl welcomes back an old friend as a psycho killer threatens National City using very familiar means. It’s often the case that I don’t realise how much a character is missed until they come back. Winn was part of the core cast for three seasons and was a…
“The Bottle Episode” Supergirl explores the new world that the characters now inhabit as they all try to find their place within it. “Crisis on Infinite Earths” ended with a monumental shift for the Arrowverse as we know it. All of the currently running CW DC shows are now set in the same universe and…
Supergirl recently completed its third season and our team had to have a discussion about it with their usual obsessive attention to detail. Craig and Chris get together to discuss the season as a whole, cape tricks, eclipses, life size action figures and ask the burning question; “where is Superman?”. Listen out for the continuation…
“Battles Lost and Won” Supergirl ends its third season by wrapping up the Reign plot and looking ahead to what the show will cover next season. The past few episodes have been problematic to say the least with a focus on story over character making it difficult to emotionally invest in anything that was going…
“Make it Reign” Supergirl gears up for the season finale by starting to pay off the established arcs that have developed over the course of the season. This season has been a bit of an enigma in that so much has happened while so little has happened. I refer to life changing events in the…
“Not Kansas” Supergirl sends Kara back to Argo City to live her life among her people as James and J’Onn deal with an influx of dangerous weapons into National City. It would be fair to say that this is a really busy episode with so many different things going on that don’t really add up…
“Dark Side of the Moon” Supergirl delivers a shock reveal during Kara and Mon’El’s interstellar road-trip as Alex has an experience that shakes her world view in a really profound way. This is one of those episodes of television that’s a really confusing one to write about. There’s very little actually wrong with it in…
“The Fanatical” Supergirl continues to explore the tension between Kara and Lena as Coville’s disciples return with a very dangerous plan that could worsen the Reign situation. Kara and Lena’s inability to be on the same page has been an intriguing through line in the recent episodes. It’s a good use of the double identity…
“Shelter from the Storm” Supergirl picks up on Reign’s mission to sever any connection she might have to Sam’s life as Kara and Lena still struggle to trust one another. Last week was a big episode in a lot of ways. Two of the Worlkillers were dispatched, Reign tripled her power level and Ruby became…
“Trinity” Supergirl deals with the fallout of Kara learning what Lena has been doing with Sam/Reign and the team faces off against the combined might of the Worldkillers. Lena Luthor has always been an interesting presence on this show. The Luthor label is always something she is going to have to battle against to some…
