WOW! Absolutely amazing season finale. It was a nice wrap up forth whole season but please, someone tell me that Cat Grant is going to stick in season 3. And she knew! I knew she knew. but I couldn't help but screaming so loud. I wanted to point out Melissa's acting. I didn't expect this ending to be so touching and emotional. I totally felt her pain. it was so damn real. I'm glad Mon-El is gone, so,so glad but it was too obvious that he was going to "sacrifice" himself to save her. I guess that's Mon-El story. He started on a pod and ended on another one. That's his season's storyarc. From pod to pod we'll carry on. I guess we have another 5 months of "Who's in the Pod? Who's in the fucking Pod?" I guess it's, Reign? They even said her name so it could be her and since she's an enemy of Supergirl it all makes perfect sense.
I loved that Calista Flockhart made a Star Wars joke "Star Wars? Never seen it". Which is even funnier when you know she's married to Harrison Ford. And the "they have WiFi in the Himalayas", I laughed more than I should. I guess that's because they're not barbarians, lol.
and that wormhole? at first I thought it was all about time travel and that he was gonna appear in Legends or something. Then I remember today is not Tuesday.
Kara was way happier when the show was in CBS. Sad Kara makes me sad. I just have to say something: Melissa Benoist was born to play Kara Danvers. She's an incredible actress and she deserves much more recognition. Her emotional scenes are some of the best I've ever seen and I swear I feel her happiness when she's happy and her darkness just blows me away. I can't wait to see all the comments bitching about the gay marriage.
the only thing that pissed me off a little was the fact that Kara was stronger than Superman. Well, no way. They could've at least said that it was the Kryptonite that weakened him, but no way he's weaker. Plus, Superman and Supergirl fighting together was bloody awesome. So hyped for season 3!
That utility box of whatever that gets knocked down at the beginning of the fight between Supergirl and Rhea is a great metaphor for the writing in this episode. See, it falls over and sparks and shit—looks cool, right?—but there's nothing under it! No wires, no pipes, nothing. It leaves behind a blank space. It must have been there on the rooftop for a reason, right? Nope. No purpose but to get knocked over.
This episode is full of stuff that doesn't make sense, like that. Every Daxamite soldier teleports back to their ships, but Rhea stays to beg Mon-El to save her, and dies when he doesn't? Perfect sense. Mon-El has "a few minutes" before the lead in the atmosphere kills him, but manages to make it all the way to the Kryptonian pod and has time to give a little speech to Kara? Perfect sense!
I admit to being emotionally affected by the drama, sure…but that lasted only as long as it took for my rational brain to catch up and say, "Whoa, wait up, how does that work?!" That happened a lot.
At this point, I realize why it's taken me so long to bother finishing this season. I did stall with just the one episode left, and it's definitely because the believability of the writing is meh at best. They really do go for the "Bam! Pow! Special effects!" wow-factor without really thinking about whether that actually makes sense for the characters and the plot. It gets really annoying.
Speaking of things that don't make sense for the plot, they had a great ending tied up AND THEN RUINED IT with a teaser for the next season. I'm so done.

HOLY SHIT! I'M HAVING AN ANEURYSM! A lot of this review is going to be in caps. Forgive me. But honestly, this is what Supergirl should be! Full of heart, putting women at the center, launching abusive former slave owners into space. I'm living. I'm actually excited for season 3. Let's hope the writers don't disappoint us and remember that in Supergirl's case, the recipe for success is: fewer White Boys (yes, there is a significant difference between a white boy and a White Boy, one is a Caucasian male and the other is a fucking trashcan of a person) and more Cat Grant, with a side of the Danvers sisters loving and supporting each other, and women in general having each other's backs.
First of all, CAT KNOWS! I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE SEASON 1, SHE KNOWS! Cat, you beautiful human. I really hope Calista will be around more next season. Everything's better with Cat. The last two episodes proved that.
M'gann is back! And she and J'onn are in love! That is so adorable. I want to see more of her in season 3.
THEY GOT RID OF MON-EL! WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY! I want to shout it from the rooftops. I want to rent a fucking airplane banner. Apparently, Chris Wood is confirmed to return in season 3, which is unfortunate, but at least he's gone for now. I've talked a lot about his relationship with Kara this season, but no one can tell me that I didn't have good reasons. Abusive garbage fire is still the best name for it that I can think of, and the fact that they framed it as tragic and romantic in the end makes me want to throw up. I can't stand the thought of all those little girls growing up thinking that a man disrespecting you, belittling you and ignoring everything you say is "relationship goals". And I don't care how much he's "changed". That doesn't make up for all the shitty things he's done.
And last but certainly not least, SANVERS ARE GETTING MARRIED! I don't even care that they seem to rush everything a little too much when it comes to this ship. MY TWO CANON LESBIANS IN LOVE ARE GETTING MARRIED! I feel so alive. I feel so blessed. I won't stop smiling for a week. What a wonderful time to be alive. Cry me a river, homophobes. I live in Poland and honestly, Americans ain't got nothing on Poles when it comes to homophobia. A few whiny babies bitching about "leftist propaganda" (because apparently that's what giving people basic rights and allowing them to marry the person they love is called nowadays) is a breeze compared to the kind of shit that I hear in face-to-face conversations every day. Bring it on.
Well, that's a season wrap for Supergirl! See you all in October!
