Final Thoughts:

The episode we have been waiting for, and it didn’t disappoint. The Crossover with The Flash was amazing and left us with the best episode of Supergirl. This episode was filled with so many amazing moments, like the moment that Barry realizes he is no longer on Earth-One, Listing the names of The Green Arrow, Black Canary, Firestorm and The Atom then there was the Cat Grants CW line. These were spot on moments and just perfect, an example of what happens when everything works.

This episode didn’t feel like a Supergirl episode, it felt like a Flash episode. It just so apparent that the creative team really loves The Flash character. There are always these little moments with in these comic book shows that gets my inner comic book nerd self excited. Once The Flash’s music hit, I had one of those moments, then there was the balcony scene where Barry was the mentor and you get the soft Flash music play. So Great!

The episode stars had to be Winn, Cat Grant and Grant Gustin. Even Melissa Benoist was amazing, not that she isn’t always. Winn’s excitement that there is a man that can time travel was so refreshing, and Benoist became even more charming than usual. But in the end it was Grant Gustin, he is the star of the DC Universe. DC Comics, take note Grant Gustin is The Flash and it would be in the best interest to get him in the movies as soon as possible.

This is what these shows should be fun and charming. This is a must see episode and If you didn’t catch it you need to find it. This is what happens when casting is spot on. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode were, leave your comments below.

Supergirl Review: Season 1 Episode 5 "Livewire"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 5
“Livewire”

Synopsis:

Kara’s Thanksgiving may be ruined when she suspects her foster mother, Dr. Danvers (Helen Slater), who is coming to town, disapproves of her new role as a superhero. Also, when an accident transforms a volatile CatCo employee into the villainous Livewire, she targets Cat and Supergirl

Review:

Do to the unfortunate tragic circumstances in France over the weekend. CBS made the decision out of respect for the effective families to postpone episode 4 of Supergirl. So instead we move forward to what is episode 5. 

Episode 5 is the Thanksgiving episode of Supergirl. This weeks episode introduces us to Livewire, who is a radio host at Catco. While being delegated to reporting on traffic from the Catco chopper an accident occurs in the sky, when Supergirl try’s to save Leslie they are hit by lightning. Due to the lightning strike, Leslie gains powers of energy. This episode is centered around the trio of Livewire, Cat Grant and Supergirl. Livewire is determined to attack Cat and as a result Supergirl has her most challenging villain to face thus far.

We are also introduce to both Alex and Kara mother (great cameo by the original Supergirl Helen Slater). Which brings on the flash back to there youth and the introduction of there “deceased Father” (Finally the we get Dean Cain. If you don’t know who he is check out Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman)

So 12 years ago we learn that the DEO came to take Kara away only to have her adoptive father volunteer to help with there research in her place. During this time the family learns that he died in a plane crash. Only there is some skepticism if this is actually the truth. This might be the most interesting storyline the show has going, I am definitely excited to see where this will go.

Final Thoughts, Episode 5 was the best of the season. I hate to say this but my feeling seems to agree with most of Twitter, Jimmy Olsen was the problem with the show. It seems the show moved a lot smoother without his presence. It also seems they had a lot more time to spend with the rest of the cast without having to continue the awkward love dance between the two. I am also really enjoying the interactions between Cat Grant and Supergirl/Kara, it works and seems to really help with he growth of Kara. Then there is Wynn, my prediction is the internet community will do the same with his character as they have done with Felicity on Arrow and Caitlen on The Flash. Finally if you are a true fan of Comicbook Television than you had to be as excited as I was about finally being introduced to the Parents. Who doesn’t love Dean Cain?

This was the best episode of the season and I put this one up there with the better episode from Arrow and Flash. And for the first time this season we didn’t get Berlanti-ed with a reveal of Supergirls secret Identity. Its about time. I give this Episode Two Thumbs Up.
