Supergirl: Nightmare in National City (2021)
The title of the episode is very fitting...
Imagine hating your protagonist (and women in general) so much. Making Kara quit her job, making it seem like she can't have it all like her cousin is very, very bad messaging. Is this really what you want the kids and teens watching the show who look up to Supergirl and Kara to see? Scary. I need Alex and Lena to stage an intervention next week and make Kara see that being Kara Danvers the reporter is equally as important as being Supergirl and that, in fact, she Can have it all. I refuse to believe this is how Kara's Catco journey ends. It goes against Everything this character stood for in the past 6 seasons!
And what is it with William Dey, the most shoehorned, flat, cheap character, mansplaining throughout the whole episode? Disgusting. Is he gonna tell Alex how to propose next week too? The character should have never been more than a guest star yet he slowly is forced on the viewers as some kind of hero that we all should care for and almost thank for existing. No, thank you! "Stop making William Dey happen! It's not going to happen!" as Regina George would say. The actor's acting talent, or lack of thereof, doesn't help stomaching the scenes he is in either.
Also, transphobes Don't deserve redemption arcs!!! Just like slave owners don't. But this show has different opinions in both cases unfortunately.
And what is up with one character always missing during the ep!? Where was Kelly? And Esme? You should've left William and Andrea in s5 since the cast is so big that there's no time to put everyone in the episode.
So little time left. So many mistakes to fix... I'm scared and sad because the core characters and the main actors deserve better. Especially Kara and Melissa. No wonder she's so happy and glowing now that she's free from this nightmare. Good for her. Can't wait to read her book that's coming out soon btw!
Supergirl: Mxy in the Middle (2021)
When the show about hope makes you loose yours
Another episode making me feel like the people responsible for the show didn't know it'll be the final season while writing it. It's just filler after filler. Ridiculous plots and character development that should've happened seasons ago. What is going on?
Supergirl feels like a guest star in her own show. She's reacting to other characters' storylines while not having her own. In the final season of the show. Mxy had more character development in one episode than Kara's had throughout the entire season so far. No wonder Melissa pretty much gave up on posting about the show and promoting it. Yes, it's great that other characters like Nia and Kelly are getting the spotlight but it shouldn't be happening at the expense of the protagonist.
This final season shows how off-tune TPTB are with the audience. Or they just simply don't care. Because if they cared, they'd know that the relationships between the core characters on the show are the element of the show that is loved the most by the majority of the audience. Not the villains. Not the superpowered fights with bad cgi. They should've focused on that and not whatever it is they're doing.
And the fact that the last time Lena and Kara, the relationship on the show that, objectively, brings the most engagement for the series, were allowed to exchange words on screen was in 6x01 just speaks for itself. How did we go from s5 being all about this big fallout of their relationship to the show acting like they aren't each other's persons and doing everything in their power to separate them? How is it that when they were fighting with each other they interacted more than they do now that they are back to being friends, when Lena finally knows everything?
It is really sad to think that this is the farewell the fans, the characters and the cast were served with by the showrunners. So sad.
Supergirl: Still I Rise (2021)
It doesn't feel like the final season and it's terrifying
It was one of the worst, if not The worst, episodes of the season for me. I appreciate their focus on Nia and the slow setup of Kelly's Guardian but it's really hard to focus on the positives when there's so many negative/annoying things surrounding them. Sometimes, I think that either the showrunners or the writers' room didn't get the memo that there is no season 7.
What is Kara's storyline this season? Why is she used as a plot device for other characters? Why does Nia feel like more of a lead this season than Kara? This is not the Dreamer show. Why is Kara so dumbed down acting like a mentee for William when she is already a Pulitzer winning journalist? They should be equals or Kara should be the one teaching and guiding him. And when are we going to see her dealing with her trauma?
Where is Lena? Why do you have the fan favorite character away from her found family for so many episodes of the final season? What was the reason of making her a valuable member of the Superfam if you're gonna separate her from everyone as you always do. It's so disrespectful to the fans And to Katie who always ends up being away from the rest of the cast and we know from interviews that she hates it.
Where is M'gann? I understand that the actress is not a regular but why was her sudden disappearance never explained on screen?
Why is Alex so surprised by Kelly's abilities? She is the Olsen that was in the army. She already has the training? What was the reason for introducing her as a ex-military member if you're gonna act like she's some newbie to combat?
Are you going to explain the fact that Dansen have a new shared apartment or it's another one of those "too nice so we did it offscreen" things? Will they get endgaged off-screen too?
Why are Alex and Kelly not allowed to be more physical with each other on screen? Why are they never allowed to passionately kiss each other, make out with each other or have scenes in bed with each other? Like almost every het couple on this network. Remember that one Arrow scene with Oliver and Felicity? This is what we would like to see.
Why is no one checking on Nia? The girl is clearly struggling and not even one of her friends reached out to her. Is this how friendships look according to the writers? It's so weird how Andrea of all people seemed to be the only one noticing Nia's worrying state. And why is she written to feel bad for her sister when Maeve was the one who was transphobic to her and Nia did nothing wrong?
Why are you bringing all these new characters and making the episodes about them when we are in the final season and you should be using the precious time to wrap up the storylines of the main characters on the show?
Where is Lex? Why is no one talking about him? Why is no one wondering what he's up to? He's gonna show up at some point and once again have the upper hand because you make the Superfriends look like idi9ts by not keeping an eye on the most dangerous and villainous person in the world.
Why is Acrata not used more? No one cares about William. Out of the two unecessary s5 additions Andrea is the viewers favorite. Why aren't you giving her more to do on screen?
When are we gonna see Kara and Lena actually talking with each other and healing their relationship? One hug and a few big one-liners and suddenly they are back to being besties? Or are you afraid that if you let them interact you won't be able to deny that they are in love with each other (because that's the only logical conclusion Your writing suggests)?
And finally, why is the network not promoting the final season? Why is there no promo for next week after the episode airs? It's happened three times in a row now. It's so insulting to the cast and the crew who all worked hard to finish this show during the pandemic.
Supergirl: Fear Knot (2021)
I'm so sorry, Kara. You deserve so much better.
My review was deleted without "capturing a specific reason " so I'm reposting it:
JQ was caught lying once again.
"While speaking to EW, Queller stated that Supergirl "is going to really sacrifice her life and put her life on the line to save her friends and humanity." She continued, "That challenge, she's going to face her mortality in a way we've never done on the show," she continued. "That's really the focus of the first run of seven episodes. It's life or death stakes for Kara, and it's very introspective. So, all of the soul searching and taking stock of the past six years will happen in the beginning, and then she'll put it all into play in the second half." - quote from the article published in march on cbr.
All that was described and promised above never happened. There was no soul searching. There was no taking stock of Anything. There wasn't even a solid Kara-centric storyline to be honest. What little we got of Kara was rather used to introduce us to Zor-El and Nyxly aka new characters that literally no one asked for. Imagine hating your own characters and what's little left of the fanbase so much. Shame on you, Jessica. It's no wonder Melissa isn't promoting the final season at all (except for the obligatory contractual intervews). This was a terrible first part of the final season, the reunion scene was so anticlimactic that even David Harewood expressed his displeasure on social media.
I don't know anyone who is truly excited to tune back in in August to watch the rest of the season. It feels more like a chore rather than entertainment. Kelly's Guardian is the only thing that keeps me going but I'm sure they'll manage to ruin her one way or another, too. It's the only thing they are good at.
That being said, the actors (Katie and Azie especially) did a phenomenal job this episode which only furthers my frustration because it highlights how amazing this show could've been if the cast had better showrunners, better writers and was in hands of the company that'd care about Supergirl as much as they do about Superman.
Supergirl: Phantom Menaces (2021)
Not good but not bad either
This episode was medicore. Nothing groundbreaking happened and even though they moved with the storyline it still feels like nothing happened to me.
Brainy and Lena were the highlight of the episode. Love that friendship and can't wait to see more of it. They are so similar and they understand each other so well. It's heartwarming to watch.
Lena left Luthorcorp. Good. She deserves better, she knows she deserves better and she is able to create her own legacy from scratch. I am so sick of Lex.
Alex asking Kelly to move in together was a cute moment but it was overshadowed by the show revealing (via Kelly) that yet another Kelly scene was cut. Why couldn't we see the despair she was talking about?
I'm bored by the Phantom Zone storyline. I know it's a must because Melissa was on maternity leave and they had to figure out something but I just really need Kara to be back with the gang already. I hate this separation.
I didn't miss Catco at all. It's a shame Nia wasn't in the episode but I am so glad that we were spared the unnecessary and irrelevant scenes of William and Andrea. No one wants to see them. And that episode perfectly showed that we don't need them.
I'm so annoyed by the show not letting Lena acknowledge Kara's absence. The "me too" was not enough. Lena not being an absolute mess because of Kara being stuck in the PZ is just not realistic. Why are you so afraid to show it?
All in all, the episode was OK. But I did expect something more. Maybe my disappointment is just my fault. Maybe I should stop counting on this show delivering satisfactory and true to character storylines.
Supergirl: Immortal Kombat (2020)
i still have hope
Given the circumstances, the finale was pretty good.
It was clear that the showrunners hastly rewrote the last episodes of the season after the backlash, especially the whole Kara and Lena storyline, and I am so glad they did.
I hope that with the longer hiatus they will finally understand what the viewers what to see on their screens. And I'm not just talking about supercorp. It was so good to see everyone, especially the women of the show, working together. THIS is what we want to see every episode.
It's a shame that we'll most likely have to deal with Lex for the next season though.
This season was a mess overall and at the end of the day the only thing that come out of it is the message that Kara and Lena are stronger when they are on good terms with each other. They need each other to succeed and they are willing to do pretty much anything for one another.
I hope the showrunners understand that they pretty much wrote each other into a corner and trying to pair Kara with any other person (aka William) will never feel genuine when she has that kind of connection and chemistry with Lena. At this point it's too late to develo another relationship with that kind of impact. Just let them get together and make your viewers happy.
I am also very excited to see more of vigilante Alex but please, change the makeup into a mask because it looks weird imo. Also, make Kelly the Guardian we all deserve and let these two women be badass crime fighting girlfriends in the next seasons!
Poor Brainy and Nia... I hope you'll let them be happy some day.
Anyways, it'll be a long hiatus and I already can't wait for next episodes. I hope you'll do better and we'll get to see the showrunners exploring the potential this show undoubtedly has.
Supergirl: The Missing Link (2020)
STRONGER TOGETHER
I'm not even going to rant too much. I am too happy that Kara and Lena FINALLY will work together next ep. And we all know that when these two work together, they can do everything and beat everyone.
I was amazed by Katie McGrath's performance in this episode. I mean, I always am but her acting in this ep was just superb! The way she acts with her eyes, with her facial expressions. That scene with Jon screaming and Katie trying not to flinch and then delivering that amazing "You're a monster. But that doesn't mean I have to be one too." STELLAR It was the perfect depiction of an abused person finally breaking free. Yes, it was triggering but it was also very uplifting to witness.
Once again, the chemistry Katie and Melissa have is just unmatched. Pure magic. They don't even have to talk. That silence when Kara opened the door was electric. Let them have more scenes together because the show is at its prime when they do!
The fact that Lena became her own hero and she turned out to be the biggest fighter for her soul was... ok. I hoped that, for once, the poor girl won't have to do everything on her own but it's fine, I guess.
I only sincerely hope that after Lena apologized to Kara, Kara will also do the same in the next episode. And then they talk. A lot. They need it if they want to get back to their friendship. They show better not make them best friends again without them talking everything out because that would be awful storytelling.
Also, will the show ever touch upon how Lena was abused her whole life? They're showing it to us but they don't really acknowledge it. Sending Lena to therapy in season 6 and her talking about it with someone, if done right, would be a great character arch.
Brainy and Nia... My poor children. Give them a break and let them kiss it all out! They both deserve happiness. Also, it's interesting how no one is calling Brainy a villian for working with Lex like they all did with Lena. Hmmm...
Alex getting her storyline in the last eps? Great! But it should've happen earlier in the season. It doesn't mean I'm not excited tho!
Dansen. Give us more Dansen! There's so little of them on the show and it's sad because currently that's the only healthy relationship the show hasn't managed to ruin. Yet...
Leviathan. I still don't know who they are and what they want... And that's bad and NOT my fault, it's on you writers.
DEO finally being destroyed and it better stays that way! Should've happened 5/4 seasons ago.
And William... Ehh What's that guy there for, except for nohomoing Kara...? He's so unnecessary and I hate that the last episode of the season will probably focus on his kidnapping. Like someone cares? If anything, I am team Eve! Sorry, Staz, but not even your charm can make me like the character. They did you SO dirty. They should've let William be Kara's pal from work and it wouldn't be so irritating but they don't even hide what's the purpose of the character and it is so annoying.
All in all, the episode had bad and good moments. But the fact that supercorp is FINALLY on the same page (at least I hope so!) outweighs all the bad things.
El Mayarah!
Supergirl: Deus Lex Machina (2020)
It was a 6 but I'm giving it a 10 for Melissa and Melissa only.
I'm giving this ep 10 points only because I know how hard Melissa must have worked on it and I am so proud of her directorial debut.
You could feel her touch. The way the scenes were framed. Subtle touches that showed how well she understands the characters and cares for them. Melissa loves the show so much and you could really see it with the way the episode was directed.
The Lena/Kara scene at Catco was heartbreaking but it was so good to see these two in one room again (also that shot of Lena following Kara out while William just stands there was SO telling), even though the happiness didn't last long and they must have ruined it for the sake of this boring overdone drama. Kara's act in the Fortress was so OCC imo and I hate that it's always one step forward and 80 steps back with these two characters. The chemistry between the two actresses was out of this world, though, as always.
Can we talk about Eve because DAMN! I fall in love with Andrea Brooks more and more every time she appears on screen. I wish we could see more of her becuse the contrast between how sweet she looks and how badass she acts is just amazing!!! I just wish Eve wasn't in love with Lex. You could do so much better, girl!
The Danvers sisters + Kelly couch scene was cute but way way way WAY too short. Also, the way the two lesbians of the show are used to prop up a hetero romance no one wants to see is disgusting. Can you give Dansen their own storyline? Please!!! It's time the show remembered Alex is a regular and not a recurring character!!!
All the women looked amazing. The suits were a great choice. Some of the clothes this season, especially Kara's and Lena's, were atrocious so it's nice to see such hot looks for a change.
As much as I hate Lex and the fact that he almost monopolized the show this season, Jon Cryer was amazing, as always. Also, the wig. Wiiiiig! LMAO
I'm bitter Nia wasn't in the episode and instead we got stuck with the reporter that no one wants to see on our screens. Tell me why Nia (or Kara, the og reporter) couldn't be doing what William is doing???
Also, can we talk about the way Melissa acts in scenes with William. She is a good actress. A great one. But when it comes to these scenes it's like her soul is sucked out. It must be intentional, right? I sincerely hope this means that this "romance" won't last long because I choose to believe no one with working eyes could watch these scenes and think that's how ppl who have feelings for each other act.
Anwyas, I hope Melissa will get to direct another Supergirl episode in the future because she did a GREAT job and I can't wait for Chyler's debut!
Supergirl: Reality Bytes (2020)
ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES OF THE SHOW
ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES OF THE SHOW
I loved it! THIS is what this show is supposed to be about! See, how amazing things you can create when you focus on stuff the audience is interested in? We love Nia, we love Kelly, we love Alex and it was SO good and so refreshing to see an ep focused on these characters.
Nicole did such great job and we are all so proud of her. The fact that she helped during the writing process was clear and it showed how important diversity in the writing room is. I hope the showrunners are aware of that and it will be changed in s6.
That last scene... Melissa and Nicole were amazing. They broke my heart and mended it a few times during that scene alone. We need more scenes with just these two. Their friendship is so precious and THIS is the journalist duo we want on the show.
Yvette is such a refreshing character and I wish we could see more of her.
Kelly and Alex finally shared the screen for more than a few seconds so yay! I am very excited for the next ep. One thing that irked me was the fact that Alex had to have a medical lingo explained as if she isn't a whole doctor herself...?
Kara and William... I have no words. LOL They are bros and they should just remain that. There's no chemistry and there's nothing romantic in their interactions. Just stop...
Also, it rubbed me the wrong way how William knew more about the trans community than Kara. Why couldn't Kara educate him? Why couldn't Kara write the article. It just seemed a little bit sexist to me.
I wish every episode of the show was of such high quality. I hope the remaining episodes will be on the same level.
Supergirl: The Bodyguard (2020)
Happy International Women's Day...
Nothing says happy international women's day like treating all your female characters like crap, right?
This episode had potential. It really had! We could have gotten Supergirl actually guarding Andrea Rojas. We could have gotten Lena finally realizing that what she's doing is wrong and start her road to redemption. We could have gotten Dansen having actual screentime that is more than 2 minutes. And we could have gotten Nia being the amazing reporter that we all know she is. But what did we get? Supergirl being weak and fawning over a guy she refused to go go out with. Dansen having screentime comparable to a camera flash. And Lena being so far gone that she believes in words coming from her brother who repeatedly manipulated her, used her and tried to kill her.
Watching this show it's so clear to see that men are the majority that makes decisions regarding storylines. And if a woman came up with the William/Kara storyline, I feel so sorry for her deep-rooted misoginy. What kind of message the show wants to send to it's viewers going with the same kind of storyline for the THIRD time? Especially, knowing how the other two times were badly received. Who thought it was a good idea to write this? Despite getting rejected, the guy still bombards the girl with presents and texts until the girl caves and agrees to go out with him. Don't you see how wrong that is? NO SHOULD ALWAYS MEAN NO! And on top of that, having the sister of that girl push her towards the guy, despite not even knowing him that well? A mess!
Kara has lived through so much trauma this season alone but she never talks about it. She lost her mom for the second time. She never talks about it. She lost her home planet for the second time. She never talks about it. She lost EVERYONE during Crisis. She never talks about it. She practically lost her best friend and is on a war path with her. But she NEVER talks about it! You know what she talks about? A guy! A guy that had been a jerk to her (I don't care it was a cover-up and different earth). A guy she doesn't really know because they shared almost no screentime. A guy who she rejected but felt guilty and pressured enough to finally say yes. Supergirl is supposed to be this great strong kickass woman but I don't see it.
Also, if they wanted to put William and Kara together they should have done chemistry reading between Staz and Melissa before hiring him because they have no chemistry. Zero. I feel second-hand embarrassment watching their interactions. Staz seems like a great guy, the cast loves him and I feel so sorry for him because they did him SO dirty with this role.
Lena... My heart breaks for the character because this is not the Lena we all know and it's so clear that her storyline is written purely for drama purposes and is so ooc that it's sad to watch. I feel so bad for Katie who was practicality isolated from the main cast and thrown into this mess of a storyline. The whole non nocere arc could have been easily solved in 5a; we would have gotten Lena being crazy angry at everyone for a few episodes, her going through with the project, Superfriends stopping her and then in 5b she could have gotten her redemption arc. Instead we have this dragged out plot that feels very repetitive and just not thought through. Lena needs someone to wake her up and help her but she has NO ONE because everyone abandoned her as soon as things started to go bad and I am so disappointed with Superfriends for doing that. She is so far gone that she trusts and believes in words coming from her brother. The same brother who tried to kill her. The same brother who put her down her whole life. The same brother who used and manipulated her multiple times. But she is in such bad place emotionally that she'll take any type of reassurance and praise, even if it's coming practically from the devil himself.
I am so over the Lex storyline. Why did he even come back after Crisis? What for? He does nothing except from stealing screentime from others? He's supposed to be this amazing guy who everyone likes on this new Earth but we don't see it. It would be fun to see more of his dynamic with Supergirl, him being the boss and her having have to work for him but we don't see it. It's like they dropped him to Supergirl after Crisis just to hold him over until S&L starts filming and it feels so unnatural and forced.
I wanted to see more of Dansen. They are such a cute couple but we see so little of them! The dumpling scene was so cute and Alex rescuing Kelly was amazing but I want more! You can't boast about having LGBT rep and then give us crumbs.
Andrea Rojas... It's good to know she's still Acrata. I thought the writers forgot about that. I'd love to see more of the character because she has a lot of potential and Julie Gonzalo is simply just gorgeous to look at!
I have no expectations for this show anymore. Even the next episode doesn't seem so exciting. We will get a dash of Dreamer storyline but I can bet that the majority of the episode will be focussing on Kara going out with William.
What's the saddest is the fact that this show proved they CAN write good episodes. The 100th episode was amazing and I just don't get why can't we get content like this every week? It's like they want to make us angry and frustrated on purpose.
I feel so sorry for the cast because they really do deserve better. They are one of the most talented and well-knit cast on the cw yet they are treated like that. So sad...
All in all, I'm disappointed but not surprised. This show really is on its downward spiral and it almost feels intentional because to be that bad you have to put some work in it. I guess, with the new Superman show coming, the showrunners just stopped caring about Supergirl if they can have their golden boy.
I feel so stupid because every Sunday I tune in expecting the show to do better and every single time I get disappointed.
Supergirl: It's a Super Life (2020)
there's still hope for this show
Geez, how I've missed enjoying this show! THANK YOU, Supergirl writers! It seems that you know how to write episodes that the majority enjoys, you're just choosing not to most of the time. Oh well...
Melissa and Katie were PHENOMENAL at their job! I've loved how easily they slipped in their characters at different points in time. They really know Kara and Lena like no one else and their chemistry is unbelievable. I miss seeing this duo on screen this season. As much as I love Danvers Sisters and Space Dad, Lena and Kara's relationship really is the core of this show. Also, not that I want to see it on regular basis bad Katie going full villain!Lena was HOT, I'm not going to lie!
It was good seeing all these old characters, especially Sam. No other villain will ever be as iconic as Reign was. Sorry, Lex, go bother Superman, we don't want you here! I wish Sam Arias was a recurring character on the show. Lena could use a friend like her.
Kelly as Guardian! Dansen teaming up! WOW! WRITERS WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS CONCEPT!? We want more than a few seconds of this duo! We want more of Kelly being badass! Azie was great and honestly, Kelly as Guardian would be such a concept!
Nia. Holy crap! THIS was the Dreamer we all want to watch on our screens! Let her shine, people! Let her work her magic! Don't hide her and use Nicole's talent. This girl is amazing!
The Danvers Sisters were the only thing I missed. There was too little of them. That talk Kara had with Winn should be between her and Alex.
Tom Lennon was hilarious as Mxy and I miss him already. I wish we could get the same kind of episode but with Mxy giving the same kind of treatment to Lena. Maybe seeing all these different scenarios would snap her out of whatever she's doing now.
This last scene is not sitting well with me. It seemed pretty ooc. I get what Kara was trying to say and I do agree with her, the ball is in Lena's court now. I only have a problem with how cold she sounded. I hope the writers aren't planning anything bad for Lena's future because I'm sure they know the audience wouldn't forgive them such move. I don't trust you, people!
Anyway, I've loved this episode. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Congrats to everyone on the show. 100 episodes is a huge thing and something to be proud of! I hope the rest of the season will be as good as the 100th ep was and we will all forget about the mess that season 5b has been so far. Give all the women of the show shine and see how the audience will thank you.
Just one more thing. Please, PLEASE, invest in better wigs. I'm begging!
Supergirl: Back from the Future - Part Two (2020)
the show is called supergirl but somehow men are always saving the day
The second half of this season is really going downhill. It's sad to see how on a show, which is supposed to be all about female empowerment, female characters are sidelined to prop up the male ones. Why is it that men can have redemption arcs but women are blamed and made evil for the littlest things.
This show loves to boast about diversity and inclusion. LGBT characters, interracial lesbian couple, first transgender superhero. But what's the point in having this characters if you don't use them? There was no Nia in the episode. Why? Kelly once again had a minute of screentime. There was no Dansen in an episode aired around Valentine's day. You have such a great couple BUT you barely show them on screen. Why?
The whole William and Kara storyline is a mess. But what angered me the most was how Winn was trying to push Kara into this relationship. This is the third time it happened on the show. If you have to use one character to point out the supposed chemistry between two other characters, because otherwise no one would see it, it just means that there's no chemistry. So maybe just stop?
And the Luthors. I don't know who needs the reminder but Lena is the third lead on the show. Not Lex. I really enjoy Jon Cryer's Lex but I hate how he's stealing Lena's screentime.
Anyhow, I didn't like the episode. It was frustrating and boring to me. Alex leaving the DEO and Kara rejecting William are the only highlights of this episode. Writers, please do better.
Supergirl: Back from the Future - Part One (2020)
it's just sad
It was good to see Winn and I can't wait to see more of the Tower. And these are all the nice things I have to say...
WHY are you pushing Kara into a romance with a guy she has no history with. No build up. No chemistry. Nothing.
WHY do we get to see so little of Alex and Kelly's relationship or Kelly alone? Wasn't she promised a big plot around Obsidian Tech? Where is it? She barely has any lines.
WHY is William being a reporter extraordinaire when Nia is RIGHT THERE. She isn't just a superhero. She's a reporter too! Her and Kara investigating Lex would be so much better? Now, her character got reduced to a girl with a broken heart who gets to be a superhero for a few minutes an episode.
The whole Luthor plot is quite annoying too. I love Lex Luthor by Jon Cryer. I do. BUT it's so sad that he's such a big part of the show post Crisis. It seems that Lena got reduced to 'just' Lex's sister and it's so sad. She is one of the main characters, NOT Lex! Plus, L Corp is gone! The company she worked so hard for! It's just cruel! The writers better not make her go full evil!!!
Also, the game night scene was so ooc. Everyone's having such a good time when Leviathan is still out there, Lex is plotting something and their supposed friend Lena (and Brainy!) is being dragged to the 'dark side! Kara would NEVER! Winn not asking about Lena at all was so weird, too. Weren't they science buddies before he went into the future?
I never expected much from this show but I am still disappointed. Writers, you can do better!
