Supergirl Review: Season 1 Episode 19 "Myriad"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 19

“Myriad”

Synopsis:

Non and Indigo use mind control to make the citizens of National City their army, so kara must find a way to save her Friends.

Review:

Non has finally put in place Myriad, a Mind control plan which is suppose to save earth from distorting itself. With Non working with Indigo to take over National City, its up to Supergirl to try and save the city. Fortunately she will have help when Cat Grant and Maxwell Lord show up unaffected due to devices created by Lord.

When Non pushing things to the extreme by threatening the life of the friends of Kara. Lord comes up with the brilliant plan to set off a Kryptonite bomb over National City. But before Kara can go through with the plan, Cat is able to talk some sense into Supergirl.

Once Hank and Alex find out what is going on back in National City, they decide that they need to help. Once in the city, they are confronted by Indigo where she takes out Hank and then takes Alex hostage. The episode ends with Non controlling Alex and sending her to attach her sister.

Final Thoughts:

This ended up being a great episode, it felt like we finally are moving forward with the plan and with a good villain. Loved the idea of the city being mind controlled by Non. Glad they finally brought back the Martian Manhunter, these last few episode will be great if they continue to go in the same directions as this one as well.

I’ve said from the very beginning, the Cat Grant Supergirl relationship is one of the best concepts about this show. There is just something about their dynamic that is special and allows the audience see kara as someone that is still growing into the Superhero she is, while at the some time being the positive force on others.

I am not sure how I feel about the tease of Superman, It just feels like the show will have to go there or all these little moments will be a huge let down.

I give this episode a solid two thumbs up. Let us know your thoughts of the episode and leave your comments below.

Supergirl Review: Season 1 Epsiode 10 "Childish Things"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 10

“Childish Things”

Synopsis:

Kara does her best to support Winn when he hears that his father Winslow Schott Sr. breaks out of prison. His father looks for Winn for a reason to become like him. Cat offers Lucy a job working at CatCo and Alex asks Hank to use his powers to find out and uncover Maxwell Lord’s plans.

Review:

We begin the episode in the prison which is holding the “Toyman” who has conceived a plan to escape. Once out his goal is to get in contact with his son Winn. As the episode progressed we learn that his ultimate plan was to make Winn more like himself, ensuring that they spend the rest of their live together whether that is on the run or in prison. 

Also this episode saw Alex and Hank begin to investigate Maxwell Lord, this investigation led to Hank finding the same girl being medically treated we saw in the first episode. 

Final Thoughts:

Ok lets get this over with first. Why do we have to sit through more of the Jimmy Olsen story, granted we all like having Jenna Dewan Tatum on the screen, however I am unsure on how much more we will take if we also have to deal with Jimmy. When Season 2 rolls around lets hope its with Jimmy back at the Daily Planet. Ok rant over, thank you for sticking with me through that. As for the episode, this might have been one of the weaker episodes in awhile. It’s not for lack of potential, Toyman should have been a bigger, better story. It just never got there. In many ways this episode just had to much going on.

Did anyone else think it was strange that Alex was trying to force Hank to become the Martian Manhunter? Her reasoning was due to Kara needing his help. So it was ok for Hank to help but there is no reason to bring Superman in? Just seems strange especially if Kara really needs help.

So now Maxwell Lord knows Kara is Supergirl. Not sure how I feel about this. At first I was ok it seemed to make sense, however taking a little bit an really thinking about it I am not sure how this progresses the story at all.

All in all this was an ok Episode of Supergirl, it definitely isn’t any where near some of the best. If anything this episode will drive all those Winn Kara relationship fans crazy. I give this episode 1 thumbs up.
