  1. ( #superGirlCW ): I'm having trouble (good trouble!) articulating how I feel about Supergirl right now, but that was probably one of the best finales for a show I've seen in a long time. Despite a few bumps, and maybe some rushing, I don't think I could have asked for more.

    Supergirl is, I think, firmly my favorite Arrowverse show. It made me feel good, it gave me hope, and it wasn't afraid to use its comic-ness as a venue for commentary.

    And it never faltered to push home that it is so, so important to be your authentic self. So little does that.

    We need that right now. We need that so much right now.

    I can wholeheartedly say, this show is worth watching. Even on its own.

  2. I'm going to keep commenting on pointless things like Supergirl because if I don't I'm going to cry. To that end:

    ( #superGirlCW ): so Lex got exonerated at the beginning of the season because rich white guy, who apparently did the "tell it like it is" bullshit and the jury bought it. Lena gave up the company and Supergirl was in the phantom zone and all that.

    This wasn't enough for him naturally so he jumped in his transmatter portal and disappeared until episode 17, which I'm currently watching.

    Apparently he went to the future and fell in love with the 5th dimensional baddie that's been going havoc all season, then by way of McGuffin 4 of 7, was brought back to the present and now he's trying to win her again or something? And keep her alive?

    Ok?!

    Ice is getting a bit thin, there. COVID strikes again!

    Still plenty of good as discussed earlier. Also Alex and Kelly have adopted a little girl and Alex is soon to pop the Question! Eeee :blobcat_aww: :blobcat_doggo:

  3. ( #superGirlCW ): Wow this episode was amazing. Like a primer on the right way to use white privilege to help others. I'm amazed it somehow got past some network d-bags.

    Hell the (admittedly one-note) villain for the episode was a literal blond blue-eyed white woman with sudden 5th dimensional magic powers trying to wipe National City's poor neighborhoods away.

    They were even unafraid to literally say "hey supergirl: do better"

    Gawd I bet this episode and season probably pissed soooo many chuds off. :blobcat_party: :blobcat_party: :blobcat_party: :blobcat_party:

    But I'm not going to check because I like my mental health such as it is. :blobcat_beret_coffee:

  4. ( #superGirlCW ): a big fifth dimensional cat is wreaking havok. Brainy needs it distracted.

    Supergirl: "I'll create a distraction!"

    She proceeds to use her heat vision as a laser toy! :blobcat_amused: :blobcat_amused: :blobcat_amused: :blobcat_amused: :blobcat_amused: :blobcat_amused:

  5. ( #superGirlCW ): show is keeping up with shining a light on real bad stuff. This episode has a two-fer (with a minor third).

    Prisoner exploitation in for profit prisons
    Shitty foster care homes run by garbage assholes
    And a media company too concerned with the bottom line and chasing big things (in this case the super friends) to see and tackle the above.

    You're making me feel good, Supergirl. Don't drop the ball. :blobcat_coffee:

  6. ( #superGirlCW ): hmmm

    So nia and brainy went back to midvale in 2009 for reasons (tm), and Cat Grant was in the area. She got wind of weirdness and paid a kid 20 bucks to borrow their... Quad copter drone? Were those even a thing then? Like, weren't even basic consumer models wayyyy out of the price range for a kids toy?

    (Ignoring that the camera on it had 60fps video to a built-in receiver on the control remote)

    Feels like someone didn't do diligence research. But I could be wrong! Maybe the kid's parents were stupid rich.

  7. ( #superGirlCW ): I think I kinda get why they split off the super-cousins. Generally it's hard to do Supergirl or Superman level evil shenanigans without it also being an all hands on deck situation.

    The split itself is.... Not that well illustrated though.

    But like, the season started with dealing with a worldwide Lex evil plan that would really have had both Supers stepping up to the plate. Clark wasn't there at all.

    Kara is now stuck in the phantom zone. Clark's nowhere to be found.

    Like I said in a previous post, they wrote themselves into a corner and then COVID walled them in Amontillado style. :blobcat_coffee:

  8. ( #superGirlCW ): y'all please. Backing Lex with "The Man Who Sold the World" is fruit hanging low enough to not be able to ride a rollercoaster.

  9. ( #superGirlCW ): "Deus Lex Machina" is the kind of title pun *i* would come up with.

  10. CW: Grief and loss

    ( #superGirlCW ): Jeremiah Danvers died. (That's Kara and Alex's dad)

    On one hand, real feels, well acted, still hurts me to think about my mom. Sympathy is real.

    Buuuuut on the other, fuck Dean Cain, now he never has to be brought back into the show. :blobcat_business:

  11. ( #superGirlCW ): there's this old woman who works for Leviathan and she got this big Granny Goodness energy.

    I wonder. :blobcat_coffee:

  12. CW: Transphobia in fiction

    ( #superGirlCW ): well shit. There's a dude (white male and cis of course) targeting trans people because Dreamer (trans superhero, played by Nicole Maines) is too popular.

    Well I certainly needed to feel angry this morning!

    But also, possible very satisfying catharsis! We'll see.

  13. ( #superGirlCW ): Once more, Supergirl proves my favorite show of the bunch as even freakin' Mxy gets a redemption episode (which also serves as a sort of redemption episode for Kara).

    The egg of Hope offered to me in this trying time. :blobcat_cookie:

  14. ( #superGirlCW ): gawd Melissa Benoist is just so darn adorable :blobcat_aww: :blobcat_aww: :blobcat_aww: :nonbinary_heart: :bisexual_heart: :nonbinary_heart:

  15. ( #superGirlCW ): silly me, forgot to mention this season has a rare live action appearance of the always talented Phil LaMarr as the voice and human face of Malefic. Also a DC alumni, being prominently the voice of Green Lantern John Stewart, aka best Green Lantern. :cat_ffxiv:

  16. ( #superGirlCW ): arghhhhh Lena snap out of it you're breaking my heart! :blobcat_brokenheart:

  17. ( #superGirlCW ): gawd the muskrat reference aged like raw meat :blobcat_angry:

  18. ( #superGirlCW ): I know I said this before but I think maybe NOW I've reached unwatched territory. I looked up season 5 and it is where covid finally struck, ending up cutting the season short by a couple of episodes, so seems about right. And this AR\VR angle is unfamiliar.

  19. ( #superGirlCW ): they packed this season ending pretty hard. Red Daughter, Ben Lockwood on superpowers, Lex fucking Luthor, and to top the sundae, Brainy having his ancestors' nefarious predilections released.

    :blobcat_cookie:

  20. ( #superGirlCW ): gawd

    Ok so Lex had Red Daughter attack the white house as "Supergirl" and turned everyone at large against her and some shmuck rolls up on her saving someone from a car wreck and shoots her with a fuckin 9mm

    SUPERGIRL.

    WITH A 9MM.

    what rock has this guy been living under?

  21. ( #superGirlCW ): holy shit Tessmacher just made a The Americans reference to Phillip Jennings

    Dang that's a deep cut

  22. ( #superGirlCW ): I bet the first episode with Lex showing up also involving a dam being attacked was intentional. :blobcat_coffee:

  23. ( #superGirlCW ): I feel like you could make a drinking game (a slow one but still) out of when media uses "Mad World"

  24. ( #superGirlCW ): if I had a goat, these writers would have it and be holding it for ransom

  25. ( #superGirlCW ): I might have memory holed the reason but Lena is getting weird this season. Paranoid and shutting everyone out, desperate to use the Harunel to make humans super.

    Like, she broke up with James simply because he couldn't support her sharing the research with the government. That's it! That one thing! And he's justified!

    Iunno :blobcat_beret_coffee: maybe the writers fell asleep. Was there a strike in 2018ish?

  26. ( #superGirlCW ): Alex's hair is kinda amusing this season. Still doing the side part of lesbian badassery but now pulls the part back when on the DEO job.

    Iunno, I like it. :blobcat_amused:

  27. ( #superGirlCW ): getting hard to watch because this shit's happening for real but without the nuance or superhero metaphors :blobcat_brokenheart:

  28. CW: Xero is griping about Heels again

    ( #supergirlcw ): in another case of "Xero Gripes about Heels"

    Last episode Alura dons a battle outfit to go help Kara and friends fight the three Dark Kryptonian witches and Reign. It's got heels. A battle outfit. :blobcat_noir:

    Lena has been dedicated to her lab work for days trying to help Sam not die and all and like sleeping there and... Standing probably for 8 hours or some shit.... In.... HEELS. :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir:

    Of all shows one would think this one would understand comfortable and appropriate footwear and when to use it. But no, woman must wear tall-makers, no exceptions unless already tall. :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_beret_coffee:

  29. CW: Personal, Television, Bigotry

    I will never stop being sad that Supergirl ruined the entire Arrowverse for me.

    There were so many genuinely great stories in there. But every time I go to re-watch one, I can't even look at the "Play" button for any of them without flashing back to Supergirl's (I think it was) Season 4 and again being overwhelmed by the nausea and chill of fear I felt when I first saw it. Even mentioning it now, my heart rate goes up and I feel "fight or flight" starting to kick in.

    A really good example of the dynamic I described back here, of how depictions I find dangerous and terrifying are often met with equanimity compared to the ludicrous, over-the-top depictions I find amusing.
