User blog:Xandermcc/Supergirl S3 E9: Wish you a merry Edge-mas and a happy Reign year.

Love the holidays. Who doesn't? Well probably Reign who basically makes it so Supergirl always associates Christmas with the time she was beaten to a point of near death. Anyway, lets see how that goes.

Lets start with the obvious thing to speak about after my crossover review and that is that Kara just goes back to Earth Thirty Eight and only then starts questioning what the Legion do. Keep in mind that this was after Mon-El attacked D.E.O agents and robbed them. So figuring out that his mission was non-hostile should probably have been a bigger priority for Kara before leaving to Earth One. Also nobody questions where Kara and Alex were for so long? Not buying it. -1

The inspiration the Legion take from Kara is pretty cool. It is a great way for them to tie her into the Legion of Super-Heroes. +1

Kara, Lena, and Sam's friendship this season was really great cause it allows Kara to finally have friends. Which is really sad that before this point, her only friend was Winn. Also it allows the whole gang some holiday cheer. (+2 for Holiday fun) However during this whole thing, they still have Kara be upset about her singleness. -1

Lena's Morgan Edge hate is getting to her head a little bit too much considering that after cryptic symbols get burned into L-Corp property, she immediately assumes it is Morgan Edge. Though why would he place cryptic symbols in the same style as Supergirl's emblem? If a human being were to do this, i would guess it would be made by some agent with a big amount of belief in liberty. (-1 for both Lena's logic and my terrible pun)

Morgan Edge may be a villain, but he has a good Christmas spirit. +1

Ruby and Sam have a pretty good scene together. They really fixed Ruby's character in this and tied Sam more to her Kryptonian roots. +1

2/10

The scene with Lena and James really showed their chemistry pretty good with them investigating Morgan Edge and even having James do some Guardian stuff as well. +1

The following transition leads into a gang called the One-Seven (most uncreative gang name ever BTW) being taken down by our new main season antagonist, Reign. She just takes down her foes like a machine. Basically being like a living tornado of force and destruction in how they portray the actions done on screen. Would like it done this way for some scenes on that new Batwoman show announced. +2

Kara really needs to stop being so selfish when it comes to this marriage. It is over Kara. It has been seven years. You being single does not require you to hate everyone who isn't. I know they were rubbing their relationships in your face in Season 2's finale, but that doesn't mean you can't be the bigger Supergirl here. -1

James and Lena kiss and it was.. okay. It was properly characterized that Lena took charge there since well.. Luthor. +1 (Also because it is a female led show so by default that is going to be how it is done)

Reign's epic battle with Supergirl was a well done end for the episode. Lots of suspense, action, fast paced panic, Santa Claus (Wait what?) and that powerful ending. Leading us into suspense on Supergirl even surviving. This giant cliffhanger was truly a monument to the series and its change going forward. +3

8/10 is the score, but Reign really wanted to scorch some more points brought up.

That Death of Superman reference at the end was pretty cool. I mean they turned Reign into Kara's Doomsday basically so it really did work. +1

Good Central City nod in this one as well. Gotta advertise after those crossovers. +1

Odette really portrayed Reign with a lot of determination and menace. After some underwhleming mains in Non and Rhea, Reign really was refreshing as a villain. +2

Did Kara really need to make her cousin Clark look bad by proudly bragging about how she can beat him? I don't know, it just doesn't seem like her. Yes, she did it and it makes sense why, but it was still just mind control so she really shouldn't brag about beating her cousin up. -1

11/10 is the final score. Really hit the mark this time of greatness. Next one gets us into some brain puzzles with the Legion.
