Yeah, it feels like three major season arcs are stuffed into 6 episodes. Sometimes that muchness works, but here it just came across as a bunch of plots that are just crashing into each other.

The Division stuff feels like the most waste since we spent so long introducing them and suddenly Swarm and Azure walk into the room and kill Tectuen. Maybe this would feel more meaningful if we had spent more time with the Division or we knew what the hell Swarm and Azure were up to.
I’m hoping that when RTD takes the show back over he slows things back down a bit. I’ve been rewatching some the first four series, and it’s remarkable how much more room they give their plots to breathe: actors speak a little more slowly and clearly, the plots are simpler and easier to grapple with, and they’re far…
I am not impressed with past few episodes of this serial, but I guess I can say that the longer format seems to help Chibnall handle some of his worst mechanics. The added time helps him avoid a lot of the time management problems he’s had in single episodes where a lot of plots just end with all kinds of characters…
Huh, well I’m certainly an idiot, reading these comments I’ve only just realised the Serpent and the male Ravager aren’t meant to be the same person.. I thought that was going to be an obvious reveal because we saw the female one was human looking at the start.
The Seer was one hell of a one-scene wonder, I loved him so much. The Ood no-selling the ‘rabbit out of a hat’ line was a good humor beat, too.
It seems to be very late in the game for this much exposition and introducing new major villains. Maybe 6 episodes wasn't enough to tell this story, but more likely it's just Chibnall being Chibnall.
I quite liked the Himalayan seer’s dad jokes.
I loved Yaz bossing her team around and making fun of Dan for being so proud of being from Liverpool, but him cheering her up when he realized she was sad & must miss the doctor & promising her she would see her again
Someone has got to step up for Cloak & Dagger. It has some truly powerful character work and deserves a lot more credit.
I think the implication was that everyone who was sent back to 1911 was turned to rubble, like Peggy's Great Uncle and Aunt.
Agreed...and I was today years old when I finally realized that Jacob Anderson played Grey Worm on GoT, despite having seen reference to his being on the other show previously. Not sure if it was the hair or the voice that threw me off, but I’m willing to chalk it up to good acting.
Chibnall has a bad tendency to think putting a character out there is enough all by itself, and then not thinking through what that character does for the actual story, or how to build relationships with other characters.
The Bel character was good, but honestly, why? There is so much going on that introducing another new character and their story just feels like over-reaching. I want this to end well and wrap things up for 13's story arc, but at this point I don’t see how.
I’m dangerously close to “I don’t give a shit” territory.
I agree with those who say, they clearly wrote this season originally believing they had another and then they learned it would be their last and had to rewrite the end of the series.
It was complete nonsense. Supergirl has always had trouble with continuity, but that was beyond the pale. THEY HAD A WHOLE EPISODE ABOUT IT THE PREVIOUS SEASON.
Aside from perhaps Arrow and Legends, CW shows either die or live long to become the villain. I feel like all of them start out with a decent run (except Batwoman, yeesh) and then fall apart fairly quickly, dragging on for years, outstaying their welcome, squandering every drop of goodwill they might’ve initially…
there’s something empowering about watching Supergirl get to end on its own ambitiously unambitious terms.
The inherent flaw of the Arrowverse after Crisis was that everyone ended up on the same world. It created impossible holes in storylines that could never be filled. Why would a superhero ignore a worldwide crisis? The excuses became so ridiculous that they just stopped mentioning them.
