The Review at the End of the Universe
“Fear Knot” Supergirl takes the team to the Phantom Zone on a rescue mission where they have to face their deepest fears. The opening arc of this season where Kara has been trapped in the Phantom Zone has been a mixed bag as any arc on this show is but one thing it has done…
“Prom Again!” Supegirl continues with Brainy and Nia’s time travel adventure with complications that risk threatening the timeline. I mentioned in my review of the previous episode that there was clear padding in order to make this story spill over onto a second episode. This is further evident through how little really happens over the…
“Prom Night!” Supergirl sends Brainy and Nia back to 2009 in search of a DNA sample that will prove instrumental in freeing Kara from the Phantom Zone. Time travel is often handled with a lack of sophistication in the Arrowverse and in many ways this episode is no exception but it does provide an opportunity…
“Lost Souls” Supergirl continues to split the time between Kara working to escape the Phantom Zone and the team dealing with the Phantoms threatening National City. Verdict A good episode that maintains the strong character work in both ongoing plots and plays to the strengths of those interactions. Both plots are near the point of…
“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…
