The Review at the End of the Universe
“Distant Sun” Supergirl challenges the Kara/Mon’El relationship as his parents step up their efforts to get Mon’El to return to Daxam. Early on it seemed like this episode was going to at least partially focus on the fact that Kara had a bounty placed on her head and was going to have a number of…
“Star-Crossed” Supergirl reveals the truth about Mon’El when the mysterious aliens that have been pursuing him throughout the season finally make it to Earth. The truth about Mon’El’s origins could be one of the easiest to predict reveals in all of TV history. Ever since he was introduced I had absolutely no doubt that Mon’El…
“Exodus” Supergirl picks up on the cliffhanger from last week by clearing up the purpose of the mysterious ship being built by Cadmus as Kara and Alex struggle to find a way to stand up to what they believe in. It turns out that Cadmus’ plan for the ship is actually a fairly simple one…
“Homecoming” Supergirl stages a family reunion when Jeremiah Danvers is rescued from Cadmus under suspicious circumstances. The question over what the show is going to do with Jeremiah Danvers has been open since his last appearance and the circumstances were equally suspicious. There is a lingering question over how he managed to survive for so…
“Better Angels” Supergirl closes off its first season by having Kara tested to prove she has what it takes to save the world. The previous episode was certainly uneven and problematic but it did play to the main strength of this show by having Kara put in a situation she was unprepared for to test…
“Myriad” Supergirl prepares for the season finale as Non’s master plan comes into play when he takes control of the population of National City. Mind control is a fairly dodgy trope to use in science fiction as it’s often used as a quick way to resolve conflicts and build tension. In a show where the…
“Worlds Finest” Supergirl joins the crossover club when Barry Allen aka The Flash (Grant Gustin) appears from another universe and decides to stay a while to help Kara out with a well-timed villain team up. I’ve been eager for a crossover between Supergirl and The Flash ever since the announcement that there would be a…
“Manhunter” Supergirl delivers origin stories for many of the main characters and features the return of Kara’s adoptive father Jeremiah Danvers. After the status quo shift in the last episode it is to be expected that this one would be more low key to allow the characters to reflect on it and for the most…
“Falling” Supergirl returns –sorry I couldn’t resist- from a short break with an episode that has Kara’s personality altered by exposure to Red Kryptonite. There are many variations of Kryptonite in Superman lore and the red variety has arguably the widest variation. In the comics each piece has a unique effect on Superman, in Lois…
“Solitude” Supergirl introduces Superman’s Fortress of Solitude and brings back a former Supergirl as a villain. The villain of this story goes by Indigo (Laura Vandervoort) but she is also a version of Brainiac known as Brainiac-8. That isn’t necessarily important for this story but it’s a nice piece of Superman trivia to bear in…
