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 4 "Survivors"

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 4

“Survivors”

Starring:

Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, Floriana Lima, Chris Wood, David Harewood, Laura Benanti, Sharon Leal, Katie McGrath, Dichen Lachman, Ian Gomez, John DeSantis

Synopsis:

When Kara and Alex investigate the murder of an unregistered alien, the trail leads to an alien fight club run by Roulette, the ringmaster who commands aliens to fight in mortal combat for the entertainment of rich humans. While trying to stop the fighting, Supergirl and Martian Manhunter find themselves up against a surprising opens. Meanwhile, Hank is thrilled to have found another Martian and tries to get to know M’Gann better. Supergirl takes Mon-El under her wing begins to train him.

Final Thoughts:

An interesting episode which is touching on Aliens and Humans co-existing on earth. In the 4th episode we see an Alien fight club pop  of being ran by a human, Roulette. Within the episode we saw the growing or struggling relationship between Miss Martian and Hank. This struggle ends with Hank being captured by Roulette and being forced to fight M’gann M’orzz

We are also slowly getting closer to Mon-El turning into a superhero. Mon-El just wants to get out, he was also intrigued by the idea of Wynn’s to become a superhero. The only issues is kara want nothing to do with him. But that seemed to change toward the end of the episode. It will be interesting to see the training. hopefully we get a rocky montage.

Its been a few weeks since we have seen any sign of a season villain, not sure where we are with that, each week has been its own episode, each weeks villains seem week and its been kinda disappointing. Although I do appreciated the build up of each character.

What do you think of this weeks episode? Let us know and leave your comments below.

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 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.

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.

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 Episode 18 "World Finest"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 18

“Worlds Finest”

Synopsis:

Kara gains a new ally when The Flash arrives from an alternate universe and helps her fight the Silver Banshee and Livewire in exchange for her helping him return home.

Review:

With Siobhan Smythe learning of her new powers, she is intent on destroying Kara. Kara meanwhile is still dealing with the issues of no longer having trust of the city. 

Siobhan decides to confront Kara using her powerful scream to send Kara out of the Catco high-rise. Who is there to save her, non other than The Flash. While discussing who they are, Barry learns that he is on another Earth after training to become faster. Barry needs to get home, however before he attempts to jump earths he decides to stick around and help Supergirl with her new villain problem The Silver Banshee and Livewire.

With Barry helping and using his knowledge of meta-humans they confront Livewire and Silver Banshee, In the end it was the citizens of National City that save the day, after Supergirl sacrifices herself to save the people.

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.
