Supergirl Review: Season 2 Episode 6 "Changing"

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 6

“Changing”

Starring:

Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, Floriana Lima, Chris Wood, David Harewood, Brenda Strong, Sharon Leal, William Mapother, Nikohl Boosheri

Synopsis:

The Guardian arrives to lend a hand when an Alien parasite drains Supergirl of her Power. Mon-El contemplates his motives when he considers a new Career. Alex faces a new reality.

Final Thoughts:

The episode see an Alien parasite take over a human body and start to attack civilians. Both J’onn J’onzz and supergirl go to the stop the alien when both of their powers are taken from them. While Supergirl was able to recover before the end of the episode Martian Manhunter was not so lucky and needed the help of M’gann M’orzz. 

A lot of this episode centered on the growth of Mon-El and Alex Danvers character. While one was searching for his place on this new planet and whether he wants to be a hero or not. The other, Alex, was learning more about her self and who she is becoming.

This was an interesting episode, I am loving what they are doing with both Alex and Mon-El, however I am still not sure about James Olsen, which we saw become the Guardian. While growth development was great for most of the characters, it is becoming more and more apparent that the shows creators have no clue as to how to save James Olsen. I guess that is what the rest of the season is for, but if we don’t get any more invested in this character it might be time to send him back to Metropolis and the Daily Planet.

Supergirl Review: Season 2 Episode 5 "Crossfire"

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 5

“Crossfire”

Starring:

Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, Floriana Lima, Chris Wood, David Harewood, Brenda Strong, Katie McGrath, Alexander Cendese, Andrea Brooks

Synopsis:

Supergirl must beat a ruthless new gang who has been armed with dangerous new alien technology. When Cadmus sends a video to the DEO, the team realizes Cadmus is the one staffing the criminals for a secret mission. Meanwhile, Kara gets Mon-El a job as an intern at CatCo, James makes an important decision and Lena invites Kara to attend one of her fundraisers.

Final Thoughts:

Cadmus takes center stage in episode 5 of Supergirl by handing out alien weapons to humans and having them robbing banks. This takes everyone from Supergirl to Wynn and Lena Luthor in order to stop the robbers. The most interesting twist to come from this episode has to be the reveal that head of Cadmus is non other than Lena’s mother. This makes sense and provide an opportunity down the road to turn Lena toward her brothers evil side.

Mon-El finally joining the real world was the second part of this episode. It’s an entertaining story line being told here. Obviously he is brining some of his own traits from his home world to National city. Nice light hearted moments for the show. We also get to see the growing relationship of Alex and Maggie, it will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few weeks.

Now to the big turn, James Olsen wanting to become a hero. During the episode we see James get involved over and over again. Being a man with now powers leave him vulnerable, and in harms way. By the end of the episode he is able to get wynn to agree to help build him a suit. So now we are finally going to get the guardian. I am not sure how I feel about this, James has been an interesting character on the show. For the better part of season 1 he was more or less disliked by the fans, and for the better part of the first 4 episodes from season 2 just MIA.  So will this help get people behind the character more? Im not sure, I still haven’t enjoyed him and I am not seeing that change any time soon.

Supergirl Review: Season 2 Episode 3 "Welcome to Earth"

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 3

“Welcome to Earth”

Starring:

Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, Floriana Lima, Chris Wood, David Harewood, Lynda Carter, Sharon Leal, Katie McGrath, Nadine Crocker, Ian Gomez

Synopsis:

Supergirl and the DEO are assigned to protect the President when an attack on her causes Alien VS. human rights in National City to heat up. Alex investigates the case with Maggie Sawyer while Kara fears Mon-El may be resonsible.

Final Thoughts:

As we saw at the end of last weeks episode Mon-El finally wakes. When the episode start up we see he has the same super powers as Supergirl. For those that don’t know Mon-El is a Draxamite who become a Superhero inspired by Superboy. Unlike Superman and Supergirl who are affected by Kryptonite, People from Draxum are affected by Lead.Obviously there will be twist to the telling of this character due to the characters currently available from the CW Universe, but judging on how the ending of the episode it currently looks like Supergirl will soon have another superhuman on her side.

As we saw Lynda Carter finally made her appearance as the president in last night episode, she was in National City to push  a bill to allow alien refuge in America. Her presence was used perfectly for the episode and loved the little nod to her previous character wonder woman. The twist came towards the end of the episode when we get the eye tease allowing us to believe we have another alien, who in this case is running the country.

Finally, did we every believe the day we would get the live action appearance of Martian Manhunter. I know I never thought we would, however I was even more surprised by the introduction of non other than M’gann M’orzz Miss Martian. 

Supergirl continues to surprise this season, after so many missed episode from last season. Make sure you catching these episode as they are slowly becoming must see to go along with the rest of the CW DC Line up. Let us know your thoughts of episode 3 and leave your comments below.

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.
