This show is really going out swinging on what they wanted this show to be and damn the naysayers. Ham fisted progressive stories that drove away millions? Too bad..here you go again! Eat your vegetables. (the one clever thing they have done with the PSA storyline is lampshade this, so they know what they are doing…

-Anyone else find it funny how Kelly complained about the sightlines on her initial helmet, and then they eyeholes on the new one looked like they were just as bad? They could have at least given us another helmet POV shot to show that she had a bigger field of view. Also, the new helmet looks comically oversized on…

Marvel comics readers may be familiar with the concept of the Cancerverse where physical death was abolished.

It gets worse when you remember that the main two avatars of black suffering over the last couple of episodes are also aliens. 

I wouldn’t mind a bad season, it can happen to every show, but this is the last one! And it is so frustrating.
First of all, I am tired of poor written/developed characters consuming time from Supergirl, a show that used to be about Supergirl.
Is it Melissa’s maternity leave? Has Melissa got tired and demanded less…

Well, one positive I can think of about this episode, at least the Guardian colour scheme is more like the original comic instead of Dark Knight with a shield and motorcycle helmet that Jimmy started with. I’ll give it that.

She did stand in a public street and openly rant about her plans to destroy the city, and then proceed to blast the heroes with mystic energy. Assuming anyone recorded that ...

Not subtle at all, but it worked a lot better than this. Maybe because it was art instead of television, but it did work better. I think if they just did that exact scene on the show it wouldn’t work as well.

The messaging would work better if the writing were subtler (“I been readin’ about you. How you work for the blue skins … and how on a planet someplace you helped out the orange skins … and you done considerable for the purple skins! Only there’s skins you never bothered with — the black skins! I want to know … how…

Please don’t try to apply logic to this show. It’ll fall apart from the pressure. (Also going unsaid, why J’onn is still wearing Henshaw’s face rather than his own. He’s out as a Martian, the people who hate aliens are also likely to hate black people, and there’s no — dare I say it? — logical reason for him not to be…

All the stuff Brainy added to the Guardian costume to hide Kelly’s identity are pretty useless if the mole on her lip is still noticeable. There’s no way Orlando would have not noticed that.

J’onn feeling more Martian than human yet keeping the face of “a Black man” on purpose was a subtle acknowledgement of British David Harewood portraying a Black American.

This is bad. Kelly is so underdeveloped as a character- you make her into a full fledged updated hero with like 5 episodes to go in the series? REALLY?

Once again, the execution was so poor that the show shouldn’t have tried. This back-half of the season has been unwatchable as it’s been consumed by these attempts at progressive messaging. Superhero shows can deliver these types of messages, but they need to be done well, and Supergirl isn’t doing that. It’s a shame…

... thus, the “eat your vegetables” callback.

Saving the day with barely-explained blue magic hoodoo that does whatever the plot needs it to? Hey, that’s Dreamer’s thing!

If Diggle is making this grand tour to set up his own Green Lantern show I really hope he takes Brainy and Nia along. Brainy would be a good fit, and I just want to see more of him and Nia.

Every week, I think this show can’t get any worse, and yet every episode somehow brings new horrors. The show was trending on my Twitter timeline, so I looked at the posts and was dumbstruck to find people who not only can’t see past the piss-poor acting and (somehow) even worse writing, but who kvell over every inept…

Orlando becoming the Height’s next councilman is a great endpoint for his arc! I hope the show follows through on that idea. Jhaleil Swaby has been a wonderful addition to the back half of the season.

Man, what a crapsack world a building collapses and it doesn’t even make the evening news. I suppose that’s par for a superhero universe where various degrees of destruction happen regularly, but still...
