I'm not even going to rant too much. I am too happy that Kara and Lena FINALLY will work together next ep. And we all know that when these two work together, they can do everything and beat everyone.
I was amazed by Katie McGrath's performance in this episode. I mean, I always am but her acting in this ep was just superb! The way she acts with her eyes, with her facial expressions. That scene with Jon screaming and Katie trying not to flinch and then delivering that amazing "You're a monster. But that doesn't mean I have to be one too." STELLAR It was the perfect depiction of an abused person finally breaking free. Yes, it was triggering but it was also very uplifting to witness.
Once again, the chemistry Katie and Melissa have is just unmatched. Pure magic. They don't even have to talk. That silence when Kara opened the door was electric. Let them have more scenes together because the show is at its prime when they do!
The fact that Lena became her own hero and she turned out to be the biggest fighter for her soul was... ok. I hoped that, for once, the poor girl won't have to do everything on her own but it's fine, I guess.
I only sincerely hope that after Lena apologized to Kara, Kara will also do the same in the next episode. And then they talk. A lot. They need it if they want to get back to their friendship. They show better not make them best friends again without them talking everything out because that would be awful storytelling.
Also, will the show ever touch upon how Lena was abused her whole life? They're showing it to us but they don't really acknowledge it. Sending Lena to therapy in season 6 and her talking about it with someone, if done right, would be a great character arch.
Brainy and Nia... My poor children. Give them a break and let them kiss it all out! They both deserve happiness. Also, it's interesting how no one is calling Brainy a villian for working with Lex like they all did with Lena. Hmmm...
Alex getting her storyline in the last eps? Great! But it should've happen earlier in the season. It doesn't mean I'm not excited tho!
Dansen. Give us more Dansen! There's so little of them on the show and it's sad because currently that's the only healthy relationship the show hasn't managed to ruin. Yet...
Leviathan. I still don't know who they are and what they want... And that's bad and NOT my fault, it's on you writers.
DEO finally being destroyed and it better stays that way! Should've happened 5/4 seasons ago.
And William... Ehh What's that guy there for, except for nohomoing Kara...? He's so unnecessary and I hate that the last episode of the season will probably focus on his kidnapping. Like someone cares? If anything, I am team Eve! Sorry, Staz, but not even your charm can make me like the character. They did you SO dirty. They should've let William be Kara's pal from work and it wouldn't be so irritating but they don't even hide what's the purpose of the character and it is so annoying.
All in all, the episode had bad and good moments. But the fact that supercorp is FINALLY on the same page (at least I hope so!) outweighs all the bad things.
El Mayarah!
