User blog:Xandermcc/Supergirl: S2 E17 Bounty Hunters! We don't need their scum!

So this one is when i feel the season finally gets on track slightly better. They finally adjust to the new villain a little bit. They finally make up for lost focus on some characters. (Again, only kind of) So lets see how.

So we start the episode with Mon-El switching brains with a good character. Called Season 3 Mon-El. (Yes, i cannot wait to see him with the Legion today) So that is good. (+1) However once again, he proves useless power wise. I don't know why he needs his equipment from the D.E.O. Does he really think those sunglasses protect his identity? -1

Supergirl fights an alien threat. Taking him out easier than most of the villains on the show. Really showing that sometimes Supergirl with her all out strength is really powerful. +1

Maggie and Alex are doing some yoga and then it is almost like the script just pulls Maggie into noticing her ex Emily. Seriously, this is not a natural way for someone to notice someone else in a crowd. (-1) Later though, Mon-El talks with his parents and they are trying to cover up their ways of evil. We see them showing their motivation is really based on parenthood. The desperation to get their kid back, but also a more sinister reason of just wanting their evil selves to continue their legacy. +2

So Supergirl deals with a mind controlling alien that gets to Mon-El in a humourous battle between the Superfriends (OG Team Supergirl) and a brainwashed Mon-El and the alien brainwasher. (+1) However the best part is seeing J'onn take the info out of this guy who thinks he is an all powerful telepath. Then J'onn just breaks his mind. +2

Emily is met by Alex at the mall, and then we get the revalation that Maggie cheated on Emily. Immediately making me lose all respect for this version of Maggie Sawyer which they had to try and earn back in Season 3. Seriously, making a good adaptation of this Batman/Superman character is as easy as pie. -2

Kara and Mon-El go to the Fortress to negotiate with Rhea. We see in the Fort however, the Legion Flight ring yet again. Forshadowing Mon-El's future journey. (+1) Rhea convinces Mon-El to come with her through threats. Using her Kryptonite sais on Kara. Explaining how Kryptonite is all over Daxam after its destruction. However what i don't get is how it is radioactive considering that Kryptonite only becomes deadly to Kryptonians under the exposure of Earth's yellow sun. Was Rhea sunbathing her sais before she got there?

So we see there is a little bit of a difference in the morals of our Daxamite queen and king. It is one of the interesting things about these villains aside from something that will come up later. +1

So after Mon-El's kidnapping, Kara acts like he might die if they don't save him, but they don't really get that they are his parents and probably won't kill him. So really all Kara is fighting against them for is the right to spend time with him. Guess she really wants those breakfast in bed days. So much so she would cause an intergalactic incident for it. -1

We have a cool battle with Rhea and her awesome looking guards with J'onn pulling the switcheroo with Supergirl again to avoid the Kryptonite. This scene is filled with comedy, drama, and fast paced action. All around cool scene. +2

The plot twist at the end got me off guard when Rhea ends up killing her husband. Really showing her going off the deep end. Even contemplating murdering him. It is a chilling scene of our threat and probably the most evil Rhea has gotten. +2

Score is a 6/10. However there are bonus rounds aplenty on Rhea's ship.

Star Wars reference put into the end. +2

Cool real form of the President. +1

Alex just forgiving Maggie for cheating easily. -2

Final Score is a 7/10. Okay episode there, but next we take a break from the Daxamites for more about some other obscure DC foes.
