User blog:Konstant888/Supergirl 3x17 "Trinity" - Review

I was starting to think that “Supergirl” is going downhill again but it is fine. Season 3 is great. Also, spoiler alert.

So, quite a lot to unpack here. I wanna start with Reign and the Worldkillers. She is an amazing villain. I have already said that. But Purity and Pestilence ended up being not great. I really did like them. They seemed interesting, with cool powers and neat costumes. But now they went out so easily. And so early too. I guess I do like the idea of them being redeemed, although it is sorta cliched. Yeah, Julia ended up taking control and sacrificing herself, but there was so much more potential to that character that they just wasted that it doesn’t matter how heroic her death was. And she even took Pestilence. I guess it makes sense that they would want to have Reign be the only villain and I can sorta stand behind that. But really, I was so hoping for an epic final battle with the Worldkillers fighting the Legion and the D.E.O. and Supergirl. We sorta got that fight her and it was a pretty good fight. But I am very disappointed. BTW, Alex’s new suit is really cool.

One of the main focuses of the episode was Lena and I really enjoy her story. She has to fight so much hate just because of her name. That is really interesting. Even Supergirl doubted her. And I was totally rooting for her. She did the right thing. That’s the only problem I had. It seems like Kara has defended Lena so much that now I didn’t really believe she would just go against her for doing something that wasn’t even that bad. Well, I lied, I have one other problem…James didn’t feel at all like he belonged in the episode and I don’t need him to have a relationship with Lena and. If they want her to be a strong, independent female character that can fly spaceships from the future, they should give a relationship just so she can have something to do (although James is the one who actually needs that relationship, not Lena).

This is the episode that showed Sam’s internal struggle the best. I really enjoyed that. The actress, Odette Anabelle, did a really good job. All the scenes with her and Julia desperately trying to remember their names and their relative’s names and their favorite songs were really emotional. And the Worldkillers’ plan to make an eclipse was really creative and I really enjoyed it. It did, however, make no sense that Kara didn’t have powers since she is supposed to be able to store all the sunlight. That’s why she has powers at night, right. The show ignores that a lot. But back to Reign. Her horror alley felt boring and some scenes were just Kara, Alex and Lena walking around and they were very pointless.

In conclusion, this was a great episode, but totally wasted the Worldkillers. For some reason I went way more in dept with this review, I don’t know why.
