Okay so I seriously loved tonight's episode of Supergirl. Let's dive in.
My favorite part of the episode was definitely the stuff with Argo City. I'm actually so glad that we touched on the fact that Kara's mom is literally alive and just a little bits away cause I felt kind of underwhelmed with the reveal last week though I understand that Kara was on a bit of a time crunch. I still do wish that we had gotten more of Kara with her mom but I also really loved the stuff with her friend and the crisis of identity she's still having. I loved that Kara and Mon El went back to Argo and that Kara was able to find people and things she missed from her childhood. I loved how awkward that double date dinner was when her friend and her husband were bemoaning that their gazebo facing the wrong direction was the end of the world and Kara and Mon El just looked at each other like is that a real problem. I loved that Kara struggled to relax after spending so long fighting and that she was able to talk to both her mom and Mon El about it.
Speaking of Mon El, how is it possible that I'm falling more and more in love with as the weeks go by especially now that Imra is gone and we're actually seeing what a kind man he is now. I loved that we met that kid again and how impressed (and a bit in awe) Kara was that he helped the kid and didn't brag about it like the old Mon El did. I also loved that he gave his Legion ring to Kara which actually might be the only reason that he came to Argo too cause the idea of him needed tech to call the future was a bit contrived. Not that I'm complaining cause I love seeing him and Kara being as close to their real selves as possible. Also how funny was it that he is being introduced as Mon El from the Legion and not Daxam? Mon El also finally talked to Kara about his feelings for her and she clearly is not over him either. I am glad that they didn't kiss tonight cause I need Mon El to split up with Imra first (even though I'm not entirely sure how he can get a cross time divorce.)
Sidebar I'm also thrilled that the High Priestess of the Worldkillers stole their ship cause that means we get to play in Argo for a bit longer. I still want somehow the residents of Argo to come to Earth or for at least Kara's mom to come to Earth. I was worried at the end that the show might kill off Kara's mom as a reason for her to return to Earth permanently cause we all know Kara's not going to stay in Argo.
At first I didn't think I was going to love the stuff we got with James and the DEO tonight cause honestly if I could pick I would have rather had the whole episode focus on Kara in Argo but I did end up enjoying Supergirl's version of a gun control episode. Arrow tried to do the same thing last season but I felt like the message was much better portrayed on Supergirl where the heroes actually aren't vigilantes shooting guns on the streets but government agents who are permitted to do so. I also loved how J'onn came up with an actual response to the gun violence on the streets through changing the DEO weapons to non-lethal cause it was a lot more sensible than when Oliver was like here's how to fix the problem perfectly but I'm not going to say what it is cause we don't actually know.
Sadly I'm back to not feeling Lena and James's relationship again. I just feel like they're such fundamentally different people and practically every week they're on opposite sides of a fight. I did love that Eve ended up working with Lena in the end cause she needs to be with a Luthor *wink wink nudge nudge* but it was funny that James was the one to shout her name and not Lena. I am curious as to what Lena found in the end and if it'll lead to her turn somehow.
Sidebar but I wish the show would bring back Clark this season cause I feel like Kara really should have told her cousin that Argo was around before leaving Earth semi-permanantly cause like I know he has no memory of Krypton but this seems to be something that we should have touched on!
I also felt really bad for Alex and J'onn tonight with their personal issues. Alex literally just lost everyone by having to give Ruby back to her mom and Kara leaving. It was heartbreaking to see her alone in her apartment. J'onn also seemed to come to terms with saying goodbye to Mry'nn tonight as well. I wonder if we'll actually say goodbye to him next week but if I had to guess I'd say it will be in the finale. I also don't see Alex actually adopting a child by the end of this season cause I feel like as soon as she does she'll want to retire from the DEO or maybe if we're lucky she'll switch to the DEO's medical field. I actually for a second thought that James might join the DEO after seeing the look on his face after J'onn's speech. I wouldn't mind that tbh cause he spends most of his time in the DEO anyway now that Kara's like never at CatCo.
I'm interested to see if Reign is back at the end and I have a feeling that Ruby's going to die. I was curious about whether Reign was actually stopped in the beginning of the episode cause I wouldn't have put it past the show to make the High Priestess the final villain. I would have liked that cause you all know how I feel about Reign/Sam/Ruby this year.
Next week looks fun as well and definitely should be ramping up for the finale the week after! I'm excited to see how Kara and the others get to Earth and what the Priestesses will be up to! Here's to an awesome penultimate episode!
