Weak.
cruise0123 October 2019
3 out of 5 stars.

The episode continues with Jonn facing against his brother. While there is a couple of sub plots with the love story with Alex and her girlfriend. Brainy and his girlfriend. Kara having problems with her co worker. Decent action but boring side story.

If you don't like this episode why do you like any episode?
matthewfielding-94-71298517 October 2019
I thought this episode was fine. Nothing special but it's setting up a larger story with lots of different threads and I'm excited to see where it's heading. The action was good, character interactions were fun and the storylines being set up are interesting premises. What I don't understand is why this episode is rated so low. How is it any different from any other episode? How have you managed to get to season 5 of this show and this is the episode that made you think nah I'm not enjoying this?

Hate the new supergirl costume
tapepool-453-47275715 October 2019
The costume is boring and looks terrible on supergirl. I actually enjoyed this episode minus the wasted minutes of the relationships.

Lena is the New Lex?
Anonnamus5 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Seriously. There could have been even a little bit of a transition between Lena the do-gooder who just wanted to distance herself from the fear and disgust her Luthor name invokes and this Lex-with-hair world-dominating evil mastermind she has suddenly become over the summer. Couldn't she have started out small, like kicking kittens or something before immediately diving into kidnapping and testing unwilling human subjects?

  • Is Eve pregnant? Is she the mother of Lex's child? Will an unborn baby be the catalyst to stop Lena's descent into Pinky and the Brain territory? Probably not.


  • I am assuming British Ralph Lauren is an undercover cop or something, and he's not actually married and that he will soon be Kara's love interest because that's how television works.


  • I am beginning to like Kelly more and am glad the writers are giving her an actual identity outside of being James's sister or Alex's girlfriend.


  • James is going to run for senator? Okay. Still don't care.


  • I realize that Andrea is an antagonist and that we are supposed to be rooting for her downfall, but I would be lying if I didn't say I didn't enjoy her not letting Kara getting away with doing whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. Maybe she's this part of this Leviathan threat Eve was terrified of?


  • Brainy and Nia are adorable. That is all.


  • I haven't been able to drum up and interest in the J'onn/Shapeshifter arc yet, and the entrance into J'onn's memories being the upper half of a vagina didn't help much.


I don't quit shows so I will continue to watch, but I really hope they start giving this season's storyline a clear direction because it is sort of a mess so far. Even at its worst, it's still pretty entertaining.

Why Lena is a villain ;( ?
krzysiukluba14 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I liked episode, but i expected more J'onn J'onzz history, more action. I loved Alex and Kelly moments or Nia&Brainy, but William was really annoying. Reminds me Siobhan Smythe from S1. And why Lena is a villain. That is not fair. I want more things connected to Crisis or J'onn's history or Leviathan. That was dumb.

It was a drag
prettylittlegangster14 October 2019
Characters that aren't really important were given a lot of screentime. Lena going evil is stupid. It was missing the most important relationship in the show: supercorp

How to make this show 1000 times better-
superman-3151414 October 2019
I don't want the show to get canceled so I came up with a solution - kill off Alex, worst character in any of the shows just get rid of her. Her story lines make this show way to cheesy every time she's on screen I get bored and feel bad for the actress - or at least get rid of her side stories and only have her act with Supergirl scenes, she should never have her own scene, sorry but it's true

It feels like a 12 year old is writing the script...
garydeanfabac14 October 2019
I understand this show is made to entertain the young but the characters are way off from reality, nobody acts this way in real life.

On a good track
chloeemg21 December 2019
Can we just appreciate that cute morning breakfast scene between Nia and Brainy? I feel like people rate this show too harshly. It's from the CW, not HBO.

Yikes
emmafrostwasright14 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Wtf was this episode? Whatever you're doing with Lena pulling a Daenerys 2.0 just STOP! And whatever bs is going on with Kara and that boring arrogant guy that you think we're going to find interesting just because he gives food to the poor STOP. YIKES. All the focus on this guy made the episode as boring as him. TIRED.

Dansen was cute but the rest was boring af
lizzpared14 October 2019
Love the Kelly/Alex dynamic. But that william guy is annoying and lena seems super out of character. brainia was sweet, but nia didn't seem to happy by the end so meh. I feel like they could have also done much more with J'onn. A lot of time wasted on nonsense.

Do better
remythethief14 October 2019
All the focus on that boring stalker and work's thief William guy made the episode tiring and weird as hell. And you're crossing the line with Lena, neither of these things is what we wanna see on a women empowering show. Bored and exhausted. Do better

Pretty tired of the "evil new boss story"
danhuiner6 April 2021
It happened last season with the Army lady who was above Alex and this season with Kara getting a new boss. More Superheroing less ordinary human problems please and thank you? 🙃

I don't know what went wrong
brennanhammond19 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Season 4 really brought this show back to its prime. Season 5 had a very entertaining and interesting premiere but this episode was just like season 2 which is the worst I'm my opinion. They focused on relationships and how everyone is in love and it's really annoying I really enjoyed this show up until this point, I really hope it gets better
