It was a cold November evening when I sat down to watch the movie. My cat looked over at me and it was clear that she didn't approve of the choice. The DVD cover looks boring she seemed to imply through her sleepy gaze. What did she know anyway? Her favourite movie was Garfield 2 and it was rare that she stayed awake long enough to watch anything.
The movie began and Adrien Brody began his narration. A promising beginning then but alas what followed was not good. Once famous actors and that blonde dame from Chuck surrounded Brody and sapped the life out of his performance. Well, that, or perhaps he was bored and just in it for the money. I don't know and I didn't want to stay long enough to find out. Sadly, I did, keen to see the mystery unravel. My cat smirked at me as she could sense my frustration. The film is unravelling like my ball of string, she suggested. She was implying the film was a mess and she was right, as usual.
So what did you make of the movie, she asked, mouth barely moving but eyes saying everything. "Meh" I said. She smiled and nodded. "Mew" she said. We were on the same page with our observations, though she slept throughout most of the movie. She must have been reading my facial and body language when I considered my reflection on what I had just seen.
"Go back to sleep" I said.
And she did, probably dreaming of fish. So as she slept with the fishes I considered my next move. I turned off the television set and gave it the long goodbye, until next time. There is always a next time.
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!
