To cap off a season that has grown increasingly rocky along the way, Supergirl’s third season finale mostly decides to look towards the future instead of worrying about the past. Only about a third of “Battles Lost And Won” is dedicated to wrapping up the arcs the show has built this season. The other two-thirds are…

Sci-fi and fantasy are both difficult genres to get right. Genre worldbuilding doesn’t always need to make complete logical sense, but it requires conviction on the part of the creators so that the audience can invest in the world with equal conviction. Misjudge the tone or the execution, and it’s…

Let me start by saying this: I don’t think any of the plot points in “Not Kansas” are unworkable. Turning a show about vigilante superheroes into a lesson in gun control isn’t the most natural fit (just ask The Punisher), but I’m not inherently opposed to the idea. Nor am I inherently opposed to…

I’ve never had the experience of being sent off my exploding home planet by my parents, spending years in suspended animation, being raised on Earth as one of the last of my kind, and then years later discovering my mom was actually still alive and living on a floating city. So, admittedly, I can’t…

It’s almost hard to remember now, but back in Supergirl’s first season we used to spend almost as much time with Kara Danvers as we did with Supergirl. Hell, I used to spend these reviews bemoaning the fact that the DEO half of the show wasn’t anywhere near as interesting as the CatCo stuff. Now…

At a recent convention in Nashville, Arrow star Stephen Amell teased that he’d be making a “really fun announcement” at The CW’s upfront presentation today, and now we know what that announcement is: Batwoman is coming to the next Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends Of Tomorrow crossover event, and the heroes will be…

The tricky thing about reviewing a show like Supergirl in its third season is that it can be hard to come up with new things to say about episodes that are fun but lacking in depth. To be completely honest, some weeks it feels like there’s not much to do beyond recap plot details and comment on the performances.…

“We’re in the endgame now.” That’s a line that’s knowingly delivered in the latter half of the superhero extravaganza Avengers: Infinity War and one that could apply to tonight’s similarly overstuffed episode of Supergirl too. For much of its runtime, “Trinity” almost feels like a season finale. The episode brings…

After a standalone story about Winn’s mom and an episode that mostly felt like it was stalling for time, Supergirl delivers its first big mythology focused outing since it’s return from hiatus. “Of Two Minds” not only introduces the third Worldkiller, Pestilence, it also ends with all three…

Denial: It’s not just a river in Egypt, it’s also a plot device that allows Supergirl to stretch 10 minutes of story into an entire 45-minute episode. Sam’s in denial about the fact that she’s Reign. Kara’s in denial about how much anger she feels towards Mon-El. M’yrnn and J’onn are in denial about how quickly his…

Between the big Arrowverse crossover episode, its normal winter hiatus, and its more abnormal late winter hiatus, Supergirl has had a bit of a wonky third season. To its credit, the show has maintained a palpable sense of forward momentum and a pretty solid season-long arc—perhaps its most solid one yet, in fact.…

The CW is a network that gives fans exactly what they want, which is why The Flash and Supergirl had a musical crossover and why Riverdale is actually somehow really good, so in that spirit it has now decided to renew pretty much every one of its shows with a dedicated following—even if those shows don’t have a huge…

Supergirl’s third season has had its ups and downs, but so far its weaker episodes have been the ones that seemed largely designed to be filler. When it comes to its major ongoing storylines, this season has been relatively strong. Unfortunately,“Both Sides Now” is the first mythology focused episode of the season…
