Supergirl: Stand and Deliver (2019)
Weak Episode
This episode epitomizes everything I hate about this season. Whether it's the totally ridiculous Children of Liberty, Lockwood being named to what I'm guessing is a presidential cabinet position (that would require senate confirmation by the way) immediately after being let out of jail on a technicality for terrorism charges, the horrible editing, stilted line delivery, it's all just a mess. Brainy and Nia are getting a bit tiring (pardon the pun) despite strong intros and the whole Alex not knowing Kara is Supergirl is just stupid now. Thought it could be something but they're just not doing anything interesting with it.
Benoist, Chyler and Harewood are doing their best but with the loss of Jeremey Jordan and Chris Wood the show has taken a big hit on its charisma and clever humor departments. J'onn and Manchester's conflict is a bit of a bright spot but I'm not holding my breath. Oh and Jimmy being shot at the end is also pretty intriguing. I'm going to guess that it was Lex Luther based on the promos for next week's episode. Here's hoping that it is a good one!
Supergirl: What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way? (2019)
Decent Episode & Scope of Supergirl's Powers
A pretty decent episode within the grand scheme of this season. Great character moments for J'onn, Alex and Kara. Manchester and Lockwood continue to be a bit too cartoony for my taste but I like the three way conflict they have created. This episode does not stave off my wariness about this season but also does not negate my fondness for the show.
I saw someone ask about Supergirl's inability to breathe in space. We've seen past examples of Superman being able to do so but they were a different medium. This show has set up its own "powers cannon" for a lack of a better term. It has been a bit inconsistent to be sure and I also feel that both Supergirl and Superman are weaker than past portrayals. Basically the answer to the question is, because the show says she can't.
