The Review at the End of the Universe
“Phantom Menaces” Supergirl continues to deal with the impact of Kara’s absence from the team as an escaped Phantom terrorises National City. In many ways it’s unfortunate that the final season of this show begins with what looks to be an extended absence for Kara in terms of her ability to interact with the rest…
“A Few Good Women” Supergirl deals with Lex Luthor’s trial as the team work tirelessly to free Kara from the Phantom Zone. Kara being stuck in the Phantom Zone is a severe problem for a lot of reasons. For one it’s a prison housing some of the worst criminals the galaxy has to offer and…
“Rebirth” Supergirl returns for its sixth and final season with a continuation of the Leviathan plot as well as Lex Luthor’s plan for domination. Similar to The Flash, the previous season of this show was forced to end prematurely due to COVID preventing the completion of filming. All things considered I felt that the unintended…
Supergirl recently completed its fifth season so as part of our ongoing Arrowverse coverage Kneel Before Pod had to discuss it. The discussion covers life changing decisions, Lex Luthor the master planner and a long rant about the use of technology in the show. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can…
“Immortal Kombat” Supergirl ends its fifth season prematurely with a reconciliation and a combined effort to put a stop to Leviathan. As with The Flash and Batwoman, Supergirl has a shorter season due to Coronavirus forcing shutdown of production. This fact makes it difficult to pronounce judgement on this particular episode on how well it…
“The Missing Link” Supergirl moves forward with the Leviathan plot as Lena starts to question the decisions she has made up to this point. I’ve mentioned before that this season has a lot of plots to juggle and episodes like this act as proof that there is too much going on for the show to…
“Deus Lex Machina” Supergirl returns from a production hiatus with a look back at the post Crisis life of Lex Luthor. As with all the shows, real life meant that I missed a couple of episodes worth of reviews so here’s a brief summary of what I thought of them. I think that this season…
“The Bodyguard” Supergirl doubles down on the horrors of technology with the imminent release of Andrea’s lenses and acceleration of Lena’s pacification project. This season is supposed to be about the growth of technology and the potential problems that can cause for us as a species. It’s an issue that’s wide open to commentary as…
“It’s a Super Life” Supergirl celebrates 100 episodes with a trip down memory lane to explore how the world would be impacted if Kara was honest with Lena earlier. It’s very much the norm at this point for Arrowverse shows to revisit the past in some way when celebrating its 100th episode. Arrow did this…
“Back from the Future Part 2” Supergirl further explores the perils of technology when every piece of tech in the D.E.O. turns against them and Lena moves ever closer to achieving her goal. One thing the Arrowverse has never been good at is using technology properly. Whether it’s the internet being housed inside a warehouse…
