Hello everyone and welcome to another Supergirl catchup reaction, this time with season 3 episode 21, not Kansas. This episode was weird. Really weird. Let’s start at the beginning as Supergirl finally locked horns with Reign who now had the power of three World Killers and was not happy about being kept in a Kryptonite prison …and it ended in about five minutes. Really!? They just tossed the main villain aside like that? I can’t believe they spent twenty episodes building towards such a naff ending. Now the end of the episode may or may not have teased a Reign return, but even if it did it made the rest of this episode really hard to watch with such a bad taste left in your mouth. This wasn’t like them switching Caydan James for Diaz in Arrow or Cottonmouth for Diamondback in LUke Cage where it was done halfway through the season; this was them starting fresh with three episodes of a twenty three episode season left.

Then you had the whole emotional goodbye sequence where Mon-El chose to go off to Krypton with Kara. If you were looking for something to stick at the end of a season that was it, and that was what it felt like. But no, it was slotted into the second quarter of the episode leaving you wondering what on earth was going on with the pacing. I’ll be honest too, I couldn’t care less about what happened on what was left of Krypton. They introduced a multitude of boring new characters on a dull looking planet with equally bland cinematography. It really just looks kind of grey and uninteresting.

I enjoyed James again (I know it’s weird) as he helped Jonn to re-evaluate some of the DEO weapon policies. It makes sense to use non-lethal force as long as you can be sure that the weaponary will stop people immediately like the knock out icers on Agents of Shield. The whole gun debate thing is not something I’ll delve into. I have my own opinion and I’ll just say it is nearer to James’ view. As a Brit rather than an American, you can probably guess where I fall on the argument. Who knows what will happen next but I guess I’ll just have to keep watching to find out.
