I kind of love Supergirl , but jeez is this show uneven . Just watch out this clip , which showcases everything great about the serial , followed immediately by everything terrible .
Spoilers out front !
The Kryptonian storyline has somewhat ironically been Supergirl ’s Kryptonite from day one , and last night ’s penultimate episode proved that it ’s continuing to be middling direful . Norm finally loose his programme for world supremacy , putting the man under his insidious nous restraint , etc . etc .
( And in one hilarious scene , Superman shows up after having been offworld and immediately becomes a vacuous pilotless aircraft . Not that they then apply Superman to fight Supergirl , or do any of the other things you might do if you had Superman under your command . Nor does Supergirl ever go and check on her cousin . Everyone just leaves Superman plod around on the street , almost likehe ’s reenacting that godawful plot line where he walk across America . )

Anyway . For some cause even though Norm is like the full general of the Kryptonians or something , he just stands around his Kryptonian control room on his own , and his only henchperson now is Indigo , the cyber - Na’viwho like rough cyber - sex . Scenes of villain manipulating each other almost never act upon , and this installment has some of the worst I ’ve ever catch . [ Edited to tot up : And among all the other Kryptonians who are apparently too busy to help Norm with his fiendish plans , what the Hades happened to Captain Robau ? ]
So the Kryptonians have put everybody in National City under their insidious mind - control , except for Max Lord , Cat Grant and Supergirl . This guide to one of my favourite things ever : when somebody has a frightening , horribly extreme plan for quit the spoilt bozo , and all the good guys badly think pop off along with it . Like Riker almost killing Picard in “ Best of Both Worlds , ” and the Doctor almost causing widespread brain death in “ The Parting of the Ways . ” Max Lord has a crazy system to nuke National City , and Supergirl comes thisclose to going along with it . I love that .
But as you’re able to see from the magazine above , the best part of the episode — and of this show in world-wide — is the heart , and the relationship between the characters . particularly Cat Grant and Supergirl . Here , Cat gives Supergirl probably the best of her patented pep talks , where she convinces Supergirl to use promise instead of care , and to inspire hoi polloi to break in the psyche command instead of just blowing everything up and kill thousands of citizenry . It ’s an amazing scene — if you ’d enjoin me that Callista Flockhart would be the best part of this show month ago , I ’d have think you were under Kryptonian creative thinker control .
( Oh , and Flockhart joking about her real - life husband , Harrison Ford , was a fall - out - of - your - chair rum moment . )
So I ’m dearly hop that Supergirl mystify a 2nd season — in part , so the creators can find a way of life to build on the show ’s forcefulness , and also to create scoundrel who are n’t quite so godawfully camptastic . reasonably camp ? Great . But not kinky cybersmurf campy , please . Please ?
