The Review at the End of the Universe
The DC TV Universe -sometimes referred to as the Arrowverse or the Berlantiverse- will soon return for another dose of superhero insanity. Before that happens; Kneel Before Pod just do a series of episodes on the previous seasons. First up is Supergirl where Craig and Chris do a quick round-up of their thoughts on the…
“Nevertheless, She Persisted” Supergirl closes off season 2 with a trial by combat to decide the fate of the Earth and the return of Superman. The episode picks right up from last week with Clark attacking Kara seemingly under the control of Rhea. It turns out that he is but not in a direct sense….
“Resist” Supergirl brings back Cat Grant and the President of the United States as Rhea’s Daxamite army occupies National City. A big issue with all of the shows in this universe is that finales feel disturbingly familiar every year. Arrow had 3 seasons in a row where the city was under siege by the villain…
“City of Lost Children” Supergirl focusses on James who tries to find other ways to be a hero other than beating criminals up at night as Lena and Rhea’s partnership builds to a crucial point. I’ve probably pointed out how little I like the Guardian story in every review of an episode that he appears…
“Alex” Supergirl focuses on the women as Kara and Maggie have to put their differences aside when Alex is kidnapped as leverage for a demand. This season has been inconsistent in terms of the storytelling but one thing this show gets right more than it doesn’t is the characterisation. Developing Alex from a one note…
“Ace Reporter“ Supergirl returns from hiatus and deals with Kara’s unemployment when Lena’s old flame comes to National City. This season of Supergirl has been at its best when exploring the relationships between the characters. Katie McGrath has been a great addition to the cast as Lena Luthor and her friendship with Kara has been…
“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…
