#Supergirl season 1 recap full#

ThereвЂ™s hope that once we return from this extended hiatus that the worldkillersвЂ™ agenda and the LegionвЂ™s relevance will all become clear. At this point last season, Supergirl faced a similar problem, fighting one-off villains frequently enough that their major threat of Cadmus wasnвЂ™t much of a focus, but things picked up pretty heavily around episode fourteen. And thereвЂ™s a mound of unfulfilled potential buried beneath the writersвЂ™ desire to remain in the past. The season-long storylines currently lack a cohesive thread, while certain characters lack a storyline at all. The past five episodes especially have only been slowly creeping along on the worldkiller front. While an entertaining and emotionally driven hour, вЂњBoth Sides NowвЂќ succinctly represents several of the problems that this season has been exhibiting as a whole. So hereвЂ™s hoping his arc isnвЂ™t far behind. The first episode after the hiatus focuses on Winn, so thereвЂ™s hope for his character, but James would be the more fascinating character study since weвЂ™ve seen much less of his backstory and personal life. WeвЂ™ve now seen the theme of вЂњwhat does it mean to be humanвЂќ with Kara, Alex, JвЂ™onn, Lena, Sam, and Julia, but what about James and Winn? Neither has had a solo storyline this season and both are barely featured in their respective workplaces and their extracurricular crime fighting activities.

#Supergirl season 1 recap full#

Supergirl has, and has always had, the power to send powerful messages and explore topical themes, if only theyвЂ™d take full advantage of it with their diverse bunch of supporting characters. The hope that everyone, even worldkillers, can be saved, can be reached, can be human is such a beautiful, idealistic sentiment that is especially relevant in todayвЂ™s climate when society seems irrevocably divided and unyielding. вЂњBoth Sides NowвЂќ continued to exalt the strength of hope, with hope winning in the battle between optimism and pessimism/realism. Message wise, weвЂ™re finally getting back to the Supergirl we know and love however, thereвЂ™s still work to be done. Here is a recap and review of the Supergirl episode вЂњBoth Sides Now.вЂќ Meanwhile, Mon-El works to fix the Legion ship before they become forever stuck in the past. The DEO captures a second worldkiller and attempts to break through to the human she once was.
