Supergirl And Mon-El Deal With Lies And A “Distant Sun”

March 29, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl And Mon-El Deal With Lies And A “Distant Sun”

Last week on Supergirl saw Kara navigate the fallout from the reveal that Mon-El is not actually a Daxamite palace guard but rather the lost prince himself and the arrival of his parents, King Lar Gand (Kevin Sorbo) and Queen Rhea (Teri Hatcher) to bring him back to “make Daxam great again.” Subtle, this show is not. […]

Supergirl Deals With An “Exodus” And A Whole MESS Of Feelings

Supergirl Deals With An “Exodus” And A Whole MESS Of Feelings

Last week’s Supergirl dealt with the reemergence of Dean Cain’s Jeremiah Danvers, free after 15 years of captivity by Cadmus, only for him to turn around and steal the DEO’s alien registry with the help of his robot arm and beat the snot out of J’onn & Winn. This week’s episode, “Exodus,” not only follows up […]

‘Hamilton’ References Abound, Everyone Has Love Problems and Supergirl Tries To Avoid ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mxyzptlk’

‘Hamilton’ References Abound, Everyone Has Love Problems and Supergirl Tries To Avoid ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mxyzptlk’

So last week’s Supergirl ended on a bizarre note, with a weird portal bouncing around Kara’s apartment interrupting her & Mon-El’s first kiss. Another Flash appearance? No, not for a couple weeks. Instead, it’s a dapper British gentleman (Peter Gadlot) who turns out to be this world’s version of Superman’s goofiest foe, Mr. Mxyzptlk! An imp from […]

Supergirl Deals With Confusing Emotions and White Martians In “The Martian Chronicles”

February 21, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Deals With Confusing Emotions and White Martians In “The Martian Chronicles”

One of the subplots Supergirl has gotten some flak for this season is its decision to essentially replay the “Kara’s unrequited love for Jimmy” storyline from last year with Kara and Mon-El. It’s been a slow burn of a storyline and Melissa Benoist & Chris Wood have great chemistry but it’s drawn some criticism for being […]

Supergirl Has To Deal With “Medusa,” A Crossover and Some Iffy Story Beats

Supergirl Has To Deal With “Medusa,” A Crossover and Some Iffy Story Beats

Let’s get one thing out of the way right off the bat: I love Supergirl and the main idea it’s pushing–being forthrightly embracing of superheroes being inspirational figures of fun–and I get the sense that that’s what its sister shows are about…but I’m not caught up with them. I watched The Flash from its premiere until school & […]

Supergirl Goes To “The Darkest Place” in Episode 2.07

November 28, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Supergirl Goes To “The Darkest Place” in Episode 2.07

Modern superhero shows need a handful of plots to juggle and keep an audience interested from week to week, which feels like it could get a little stressful on the writers, but this past week’s episode of Supergirl — “The Darkest Place” — is an Arrow storyline, full stop. It’s not even an Arrow story from […]

Supergirl 2.06: Supergirl–And Alex Danvers–Undergo A Lot Of “Changing”

November 17, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl 2.06: Supergirl–And Alex Danvers–Undergo A Lot Of “Changing”

One of the unexpected surprises of this season of Supergirl has been the slow-burning subplot of Alex Danvers coming to grips with her sexuality. There was an indication the show would go into this territory when Floriana Lama was cast as Maggie Sawyer, the most visible gay character in the DCU outside of Batwoman. But staking out […]

Supergirl 2.05: You’ll Get Caught Up In The “Crossfire”

Supergirl 2.05: You’ll Get Caught Up In The “Crossfire”

If you’ve been following Tom and I tearing into Supergirl each week here at Loser City, you’ve probably wondered where this breakdown has been for the last few days. I had something sketched out after watching the episode but life gets busy. And then the election happened, and I had basically zero drive to write […]

Supergirl Deals With “Survivors,” New Arrivals and a Dull Villain

November 1, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Deals With “Survivors,” New Arrivals and a Dull Villain

Like the vast majority of superhero fiction, Supergirl is not one for subtleties. That makes sense in terms of the genre but also when you consider the broad, prime-time audience it’s trying to reach (which definitely includes kids). That’s great in a lot of respects–see the Alex/Maggie stuff from last week and the brilliant bits of both […]

Supergirl Gets Queer with S2E3, “Welcome to Earth”

October 25, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Supergirl Gets Queer with S2E3, “Welcome to Earth”

Despite breaking from CBS and migrating to its lower profile (and lower budget) home on The CW, Supergirl kicked off season 2 in a big way with what was essentially a two-part premiere that dropped a new Kryptonian (?) into the mix, guest-starred Kara’s previously absent cousin, and introduced viewers to the mysterious (and evil) […]
