The CW's Supergirl needed to take a little time off after Alex's (Chyler Leigh) virtual adventure last episode nearly led to see very real-world disasters. Understandable, all things considered. But on Sunday, April 26, Clark Kent's cousin not only returns, but her real-world counterpart Melissa Benoist is also taking a trip behind the camera for […]
The CW's Supergirl shifts its focus this week from Kara to Alex (Chyler Leigh) as she enters the Obsidian North virtual world looking for escape. Instead she finds herself unwilling/unable to leave after getting overtaken by the fantasy of living as Supergirl. For a season that has set the idea of escaping into a virtual […]
This week, The CW's Supergirl was really all about Dreamer/Nia Nal (Nicole Maines), a welcome change of pace since Nia has been MIA for most of the post-"Crisis" episodes. Someone is targeting the trans community in an attempt to bully Dreamer into quitting being a superhero, and she ends up putting herself in danger to […]
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 […]
Melissa Benoist took to Instagram on Wednesday to drop a serious personal "spoiler": the Supergirl star is expecting her first child with husband Chris Wood (ABC's thirtysomething sequel series). Benoist and Wood married back in September 2019, and Wood returned to his role as Mon-El for the 100th Supergirl episode. No word yet from either […]
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 […]
This week, The CW's Supergirl featured Kara (Melissa Benoist) singing Toto's "Africa" at a karaoke bar, which should make it the best episode ever. Instead, this was partially a disappointment as the show seems somewhat listless in its post-"Crisis" world. Ok, so this episode continues Winn's (Jeremy Jordan) guest appearance on the show as the […]
Now that the dust has settled from "Crisis on Infinite Earths" – and The CW's Arrowverse is a bit more "cozier" because of it – the changes are starting to be felt across all of our shows. Arrow is ending its run after eight seasons – only to become Green Arrow and the Canaries; while […]
Now that the dust has settled from "Crisis on Infinite Earths" – and The CW's Arrowverse is a bit more "cozier" because of it – the changes are starting to be felt across all of our shows. Arrow is ending its run after eight seasons – only to become Green Arrow and the Canaries; while […]
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" has been ruddy with cameos. But none of them were quite as satisfying or momentous as that of scribe Marv Wolfman, who penned the original Crisis on Infinite Earths comics as well as dozens of other foundational comics to the DC universe. In the same way, Wolfman's cameo was instrumental in […]
We've officially reached December, folks – which means The CW's "Arrowverse" shows are in full swing at this point. Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman joined the family alongside Supergirl and expanded the Batman mythos […]
After three nights of Crisis, I have never felt so happy with three hours of television, so upset at how it ended, so angry I have to wait an entire month on a cliffhanger to find out how it ends. The third episode takes us to The Flash, and a ton happens to Team Flash […]
After Sunday night's Part 1 of Crisis, it would seem hard to top. And yet Part 2 gave us something completely different, running off a completely different type of energy, and still completely satisfying. As The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) reveals the identity of several of the Paragons needed to fight the Crisis, the team splits […]
After a year of teasing, clues, and buildup, the "Crisis" is here. Our first episode takes place in Supergirl's continuity, technically the 9th episode in her 5th season. Most of it also takes place on Earth-38, Supergirl's (Melissa Benoist) home. After gathering most of our heroes, Lyla (Audrey Marie Anderson) aka Harbinger announces this is […]
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 […]
While fans of The CW's Arrowverse have been counting the days down until Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Lightning, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow team-up for the multiverse-shattering crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths", Supergirl star Melissa Benoist has proven herself a to be a true "Woman of Steel". Taking to Instagram on Wednesday […]
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: "Supergirl" season 5, episode 6 "Confidence Women": PIECE […]
