Kara tries to navigate a natural disaster in National City without her powers in the latest episode of Supergirl.
Supergirl: Season 1, Episode 7
Im of several minds about this weeks episode ofSupergirl.
You might remember last week, when she burned out her powers going all Super Saiyan on Red Tornado.
Lord cant save him, and Kara, despite trying to force her powers to work, cant either.
you’re free to help, you’re free to be a hero.
Show the world how great you’re able to be.
Meanwhile, Alex is being aggressively stupid with Hank.
Divorced from its ending, this storyline is terrible stock TV garbage.
But thats if you separate it from the ending.
Taken as a whole…let me just cut and paste my notes for you.
Oh my God is this Cyborg Superman?
Henshaw beats the piss out of Jemm, then swears to Alex hes not the enemy.
Hes not Hank Henshaw.
Henshaw died with her dad.
DEO had been pursuing an alien stranded on the planet.
Tracked him to Peru.
Henshaw wanted to kill him.
Pa Danvers realized he wasnt a threat.
just God let him be Durlan.
Alexs dad sacrificed himself to save the alien from Henshaws crazy ass.
If youre not Hank Henshaw, who are you?
EVEN F****NG BETTER HES THE MARTIAN MANHUNTER!
KRYPTONIAN MEMORY CRYSTALS:
-The Justice League International Count moves to 2 with the introduction of the Martian Manhunter.
-The shows rationale for Kara losing her powers: like her cousin, Kara used her Solar Flare ability.
Calculon was less robotic.
-Max Lord is also THE WORST, comparing Supergirl unfavorably to heroin or the welfare state.
Again, hard to believe this wasnt written with the outside world in mind.
-Sweet Jesus, how does EVERYONE know that Superman takes 48 hours to recharge?
-I feel like Jimmy could have saved himself in that elevator shaft.
-They used the New 52 design for Jonn.
Im cool with it.
So what did you think of this weeksSupergirl?
