Supergirl Review: Season 2 Episode 2 "The Last Children of Krypton"

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 2

“The Last Children of Krypton”

Starring:

Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, Chris Wood, David Harewood, Tyler Hoechlin, Calista Flockhart, Brenda Strong, Frederick Schmidt, Ian Gomez, Rich Ting,

Synopsis:

Supergirl is hurt by a kryptonite-powered villain sent by Cadmus to attack National City. Superman blames Hank since the kryptonite was stolen from the DEO. In th meantime, Kara’s first day at her new job doesn’t go as planned when she meets her new boss Snapper Car.

Final Thoughts:

The main theme of episode 2 was change, Kara starting her new job, which doesn’t go as planned, Cat Grant officially announcing she is taking a leave of absence from CatCo, and Superman planning on heading back to the Metropolis. The show is going through a lot of changes and now that we know that Calista Flockhart is officiation down graded to a reoccurring guest star, it looks like the show may be loosing that calming influence she brought. On top of that we find ourselves stuck with James Olsen running CatCo. Obviously, this move makes sense since their really no longer seems to be a real reason for James to be on the show, especially with Winn moving to the DEO. The one wild card in this will be Ian Gomez and what he brings to the role of Snapper Car, Kara’s new boss. 

Also, we learned that this season will focus on Cadmus, a group with some ties to the military which not only experiments on Alien, but also had Jeremiah Danvers. Due to a trader within the DEO, Candmus was able to get kryptonite. One of Candmus’s Dr. used the stolen kryptonite to create two cyborgs.

I am really enjoying this story, especially when J’onn J’onzz and superman finally found common ground which resulted in finally seeing a live action team up between the Martian Manhunter and Superman. With the DEO story playing a major role this reason, I am really getting behind the show this season and I’m looking forward to some resolution to the Jeremiah Danvers story and finally learning more about the mysteries man found in the alien pod.

Supergirl Review: Season 2 Episode 1 "The Adventures of Supergirl"

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 1

“The Adventures of Supergirl”

Starring:

Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, Chris Wood, David Harewood, Tyler Hoechlin, Calista Flockhart, Katie McGrath, Frederick Schmidt

Synopsis:

Supergirl and Clark team up to stop a new threat emerging in National City; Alex feels left out while Kara’s Family stays in town; a pod comes crashing down to earth.

Final Thoughts:

After a rocky first season which saw fans turn against a Superman fan favorite, low ratings except a crossover episode with The Flash, and a end of a season which saw the show move networks, Supergirl finally debuted on the CW. So what does a show do when everything went down hill the year prior. You obviously bring in the Man of Steel, which helped Supergirl to a record breaking Monday night and the 2nd highest rated for the CW show ever. 

So the more important question, was the first episode of Supergirl as good as the ratings say? The answer is an unquestionable yes! We didn’t even have to wait to long before being introduced to Clark Kent, Tyler Hoechlin did an amazing job being able to channel that Midwest nerd vibe which is Clark. This episode also touch further on the issues between Superman and J’onn J’onzz, and of course this has something to do with kryptonite. This I assume will be touched on more throughout the season when Superman reference the President. 

With Superman now part of the CW DC Universe, it was nice to see that the writers of the show pay tribute to Superman: The Movie with Wynn reference of the earthquake caused by Lex Luthor. Which obviously brings us to the potential new season villain Lena Luthor, who has officially taken over for Lex at Lexcorp.

Finally, it seems like there are some Sad days ahead teased though out the episode. Cat Grant maybe phasing out as a regular character and move into the role of a reoccurring character. If you have read any of my previous reviews from last season, you would know that Cat Grant was one of the more surprising and fun character to watch throughout the season.

Let us know what your thoughts of the first episode, and the appearance of Superman. Leave your comments below.

Supergirl Review: Season 1 Episode 20 "Better Angels"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 20

“Better Angels”

Synopsis:

Supergirl is forced to do battle with an unexpected enemy as she risks everything - including her life - to stop Non and Indigo from destroying everyone on Earth.

Review:

Episode starts where we left off with last, Alex going to battle with her Sister wearing the Kryptonite suite. Before she is able to do any real damage, J’onn J’onzz with Eliza Danvers is able to talk Alex out of her mind controlled state. Once she is freed from the affects of Myriad, Kara goes and gives a speech on Hope which releases the rest of National City from Myriad.

Non and Indigo are not finished, if they are not able to control the human race than they will turn Myriad into a weapon to kill everyone on planet earth off. With the chances of survival at a low, Kara decides to say her goodbyes to her friends before she and J’onn go after Indigo and Non.

After defeating both Indigo and Non, the only way to save earth is by sending Myriad into space. Unfortunately they is no returning for Supergirl, accepting the fact that she won’t return and she makes the ultimate sacrifice and takes Myriad away from earth. Fortunately Alex was able to fly the pod which brought Kara to earth in order to save her.

The Final scene of the season see’s a new pod, the same which brought Kara to Earth, crash land in National City. 

Final Thoughts:

The Season Finale may have been the most confusing episode of the season, I find that I loved and disliked it all at the same time. It carried over the great energy and feel that the last few episode have had. However at the same time felt rushed, there should have been more of a build up for the last battle with Non.

This episode really captured the best parts of the entire season, the relationship between J’onn J’onnz and Kara, Her relationship with Wynn but most of all the Relationship between Kara and Cat Grant. Calista Flockhart might have been the single best part of the season outside of the performance by Melissa Benoist. 

I am looking forward to season 2, the final episode left on an interesting cliffhanger. Who is in the pod? Will It be Superboy? I can’t wait to see, plus i am hoping the writers iron out some of the issues they had this season. I hope they take a note from the crossover episode with the Flash and make the show more light heart. We don’t need so much drama, we get enough of that with the DC Movie universe. Also they better introduce Superman at some point, stop with the teasing already.

Finally, using Charlie Puth’s song “One Call Away” was either the most brilliant choice by the creators or the cheesiest. I am still undecided on how I feel about it. Let us know what your thoughts of the of episode were and leave you comments below.
