User blog:Xandermcc/Supergirl S2 E21: Invasion!... again.

Now we are at the two part Season finale of Supergirl. Time to finish this bit of reviews before Season 3 ends.

It starts with Lena's connection with Rhea disconnecting as most foster mom/daughter relationships do when an alien invasion is mixed in. (+1) Speaking of invasions, Rhea's conversion of Earth to New Daxam is starting. Mass panic on the streets, Maggie with a shotgun, and Alex falling out of a window and shooting some people. It is basically all the stuff i wish they had in the other episodes. +1

So Lillian comes back to our regrouped heroes and as she is asked about Jeremiah, she just says she doesn't know. This probably had to be one of the worst things about the finale which is that they simply forgot about Jeremiah and don't even have a good excuse as to why he isn't on the show anymore. (-1) However her real purpose besides dissapointing Dean Cain fans is to get her daughter back. You really do see that she does care this time. Unlike last time where it was all manipulation. Kind of reminds me of Yondu and Star Lord.

"She may have been your lab partner, but she sure as hell wasn't your mommy" +1

Meanwhile we meet with Rhea again along with President Marsdin. They along with Cat Grant have a very cheesy arguement. Kind of reminds me of Season 1 again. (-1) However we get the cool destruction of Air Force One where Supergirl saves Cat Grant from the fall out of it. (I am going to be on so many terrorist watch lists for saying that, thanks CW. +2)

3/10

So afterwards we finally have Supergirl learn of the President being an alien and they also give the reason for why she is protecting alien refugees is because she is one. Personally feel they should have had a better reason. It kinda comes off less like someone advocating for another culture and more a story of someone standing up for her own. Which is a strong tale, just not by that much. (-1) Anyway, we then find that Rhea is forcing Lena to marry Mon-El. Manipulating Lena by blowing up the children's hospital if she doesn't agree to Rhea's demands. (Wow Mon-El must be really terrible if you have to be forced to marry the guy +1)

Cat Grant tells of her journey of self discovery. Showing how far she has gone in life to the point where she is complete. Telling that Supergirl can be too if she continues being human. A nice foreshadowing to the journey she faces in Season 3. +2

Supergirl caves in letting Lillian help and they get a cool plan together that even involves the Phantom Zone projector! One of Superman's most iconic artifacts in comics. +3

Cyborg Superman gets undeserved roasts from all the characters even though he really didn't do anything this episode. Other times it is deserved for them to be mean to him, but in this one? Why? -2

Kara talks with Lillian on why she hasn't revealed Kara's identity to her. However Lillian reveals that eventually Lena will betray Kara. Which is interesting that despite the path Lena is taking. She is going to go on a similar journey to Lex. +1

Guardian goes doing his Guardian thing and saving Cat Grant and she easily figures out his secret identity. It was silly, i will admit, but very funny still. +1

8/10

So Cat is distracting Rhea, which is kinda useless since she is already distracted by her shipped up wedding filled with threats between Lena and Mon-El (-2) but it is still a great speech by Cat. +1

I know this is pretty minor, but in the scene with Lena and Mon-El escaping, the one Daxamite guard that escorts them has normal pants. It is just weird. Why would one Daxamite pick up our culture's pants? -1

They all end up finding Mon-El and Lena, and Kara talks to Mon-El in a romantic way as Supergirl and i still wonder how Lena has not figured it out. (-1) Lena then has a pretty nice moment with her mom though. +1

So Rhea now has a suprise for Supergirl that was pretty shocking when i first saw the episode. Superman going evil! +2

8/10 is the score for the episode. However got an Air Force Fun ready to fire down some bonus scores.

Olivia is a little less Hilary in this episode, and a little more Bush. (Once again going to get some hate for that one, but whatevs -1)

Hank's weird 180 line about appreciating J'onn. Seriously, it was a little out of knowhere. -1

Loved Lillian's betrayal of Supergirl. Such a Luthor thing to do. Along with Winn's good double-double cross. +1

7/10 for the final score. Next we see the finale along with who will win in a fight, Superman, or Supergirl?
