Wow. Just wow. One of the most touching episodes of the series so far and one of the best ones. Fatherhood. I swear the parent-child drama gets me every time. I really appreciate the writers for this episode. These deep episodes that can as well be lived in real life are those that I like the most. You could say that superhero shows are those that you see to escape from the darker truths of life, to laugh and enjoy. But I certainly love that they put the focus on truths and life matters that are sometimes avoided in real life. While it is true that Maggie's story was incredibly sad, I'm playing the devil's advocate here. His father's reasons were incredibly plausible. however, his conclusions were terribly wrong. What I don't get is the "I was afraid you'd have a hard life so I made it harder". terrible. I'm certain the political aspect of it could've been handled better but I loved how Maggie stood for herself and got some closure. However, Maggie not wanting kids is gonna ruin their relationship. with all this focus, I don't forsee a happy future for them. The Mars plot was outstanding. Any episode with J'onn J'onzz is a good episode for me but this one was the cherry on the top. That Chevy was just badass and he listens to Britney. I loved the departure scene like "get in loser. we're going to Mars". One of my favourite scenes was when J'onn's dad recognized him. Gutwrenching. Getting his dad back to his life...Lovely. Btw, Kara driving that Chevy in Mars while listening to Britney Spears being all sassy and quoting Bugs freaking Bunny was the best thing ever! That ligheardteness was needed. Every emotion felt real, the CGI was great and that staff was brilliant. The action was so cool and J'onn's backstory is too precious. Amazing and heartbreaking episode overall. it felt like I was watching a whole another show. what annoyed me a bit was that every white Martian took a human form even if they haven't ever seen one. Can't wait for next week!
