Team Supergirl finally takes on Leviathan in an epic, season-ending battle as Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) schemes and plays both sides. In all, it's about the best version of how we could expect this season to end. With Leviathan having seized the DEO's supply of kryptonite (and destroying the DEO, so good riddance?) the team […]
As Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) protects Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) from an alien threat during the launch of her new virtual reality product, the show continues its weird anti-tech message while delivering a sort of ho-hum episode. All of the truly interesting things are happening in the B-storyling, where Lena (Katie McGrath) begins human trials on […]
As The CW's Supergirl passes the century mark, we get one of the best "walk down memory lane" episodes in a long time. This time, bringing back Mxyzptlk with a new face (Thomas Lennon) as he helps Kara (Melissa Benoist) revisit her past decisions about concealing her identity from Lena (Katie McGrath). The "clip show"/retrospective […]
After the fallout from last week's confrontation with Lena, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) has to head off two crises at once. . . and all that's before getting to our tease of "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Oh yes, there will be Luthors. Yup, plural. It's "Crisis" time. Buckle your seatbelts. Our first plotline involves Lena's (Katie […]
This week's Supergirl is a little on the melodramatic side, but what do you expect from former frenemies turned best friends who have now been lying and betraying one another for almost half a season? Most importantly, it places the personal conflict between Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath) front and center in an […]
In Supergirl this week, all of the conflicts we've been building towards all season will come to a head. After last week's revelations about Lena (Katie McGrath) and Andrea (Julie Gonzalo), Kara (Melissa Benoist) is on a collision course with Leviathan that apparently takes her to the Fortress of Solitude, and a fight with an […]
It's a very villainous episode as Supergirl delves into the long, complicated backstory of Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) and the secret organization Leviathan in "Confidence Women." Of course, the eponymous Confidence Women are Andrea and Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) and this is their episode. It's an episode of Supergirl where Supergirl plays only a minor […]
On Supergirl this week, we have flashbacks featuring Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) and Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) on a jungle adventure and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and *sigh* William (Staz Nair) at the DEO dealing with their villain of the week. Here's how The CW teases the episode: https://youtu.be/FKHfYyZqdaEVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: […]
Oh, The CW's Supergirl! Will you ever not have to tangle with the problems of alter-ego Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist)? In the episode "Blurred Lines," said blurred lines are the legal and ethical decisions Kara has to make while trying to mend fences with her best friend Lena (Katie McGrath), who asks her to nick […]
Supergirl is back this week fighting some spooky spider-lady (just in time for Halloween!) and delving deeper into the rift between Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath). It also looks like some complications for our pal James Olson (Mehcad Brooks) who, apparently, after quitting his job as editor at Catco is now free to […]
The CW's Supergirl keeps rocking the pants as she confidently strides into her new season. This episode takes a sort of fun turn as its major axis actually revolves around our two newly-dating couples, Brainy (Jesse Rath) and Nia (Nicole Maines) vs. Kelly (Azie Tesfai) and Alex (Chyler Leigh). The "Stranger Beside Me" name refers […]
Last week's episode of CW's Supergirl (make sure to check out Bleeding Cool television writer Andy Wilson's review of "American Dreamer" here) put the pieces in place for a season-ending run that that's destined to leave Kara (Melissa Benoist) and the rest of the team changed dramatically heading into the post-season break – and that's […]
It's been a really strange 48 hours… Who knew a weekend-focused opinion article deigning to rank our favorite Lex Luthors of the TV and film multiverses would cause such… appreciation??? Okay, I kinda' did – but suddenly we had not one… not two… but three Lexes weighing in on the debate (Michael Rosenbaum, Jon Cryer, […]
Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing coverage of the CW's Supergirl season 4. This week's episode is the one episode that consistently airs late in the season that attempt to tie all the disparate storylines together. The enigmatic glimpses of Red Daughter. The anti-alien sentiment in the U.S. government. Lex's arrival on the scene. All we were missing […]
Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing coverage of the CW's Supergirl season 4. This episode had it all… the resolution to the James Olsen shooting, the introduction of Lex Luthor, J'onn deciding whether to shite or get off the pot, Nia and Brainy's first kiss, even Supergirl dropping a "damn it" while repairing a broken dam threatening the […]
As much as fans of the CW's Supergirl are eager to see how Kara can stop the growing war between the anti-alien U.S Government and its new rep Ben Lockwood/Agent Liberty, and the pro-alien forces of Manchester Black and the Elite. Seems like more than a handful for Supergirl, right? Which is usually the exact […]
Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing coverage of the CW's Supergirl season 4. This week's new episode is heavy on the politics and personal commitment to doing what each character thinks it right in the increasingly intense pressure cooker that is National City. Lockwood accepts the President's appointment to the Director of the Department of Alien Affairs. His first […]
The CW has released a sneak peek for tonight's new episode of Supergirl. While the episode will focus on someone from the Cult of Rao bailing and taking an important journal with her, then going to James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) to get it to Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), the episode still has to keep up with […]
The CW has released the synopsis for episode 20 of Supergirl season 3, called 'Dark Side of the Moon'. And while we established earlier in the season that Mon-El (Chris Wood) was using Bon Jovi songs to teach lessons to the Legion, I doubt that this episode will be about he and M'yrnn J'onzz (Carl […]
Last week's Supergirl had a rather game-changing ending as one of the big secrets of the season — to the characters, not to the audience — was finally revealed to everyone. It sets up the final part of the season as Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and her allies will be taking on Reign (Odette Annabel) and […]
