Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Supergirl Catchup with season 3 episode 10, The Legion of Superheroes. After being well and truly beaten at the hands of Reign in the previous episode, Kara spent most this episode in a coma. This didn’t stop her being part of the episode though as their were numerous scenes with Kara trapped in her own mind (which looked like her apartment because budget) trying to get out. It was a decent enough premise but what made it truly enjoyable was the introduction of the rather charming Braniac 5. He was the right amount of quirky and there wasn’t really anything about him I didn’t like. He even has a nice sense of humour, revealing that he had purposefully made himself taller when he appeared to talk to Kara in her mind.

Mon-El and his wife finally decided to help after revealing the reason for their reluctance. It was a good explanation with the idea of hiding information in DNA a clever one, but wouldn’t they only need one of them to pass on the information? I would have thought that Mon-El would have been more willing to help while wanting to keep his wife safe. Nevertheless they decided that it actually wasn’t as important as they had first said and made a grand space ship-Bon Jovi entrance…and that is not something that I thought I would be typing.

Jonn disguising himself as Kara was a fun scene which worked well to lighten the mood, despite me still not caring about the Lena and James sub plot. I just do not care and probably never will. Either find the characters something with more substance to do or don’t have them in the episode. The show has already dumped much more interesting characters in the past, yet James Olsen hangs in their season after season.

The end of the episode teased us with the potential arrival of more World-Killers. Could this be setting up a team battle between the World Killers and Legion of Superheroes? I don’t know too much of the World Killers from the comics so I wonder if they will all share similar powers and be from Krypton, or if they will be each representative from different planets and maybe not all look human.
