Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Supergirl catchup with season 3 episode 20, Dark Side of the Moon. Well this episode took a very random and unexpected turn and I am not really sure how I feel about it. The surprising survival of (at least a bit of) Krypton as well as Kara’s mother really did come out of nowhere. I am still waiting for it to either be a ruse or they are actually evil (as the ending would at least partly suggest) as there is no way they just had this random, happy discovery and leave it at that. It felt tacked on if I’m honest, even if Mon El helping the sick kids was very heart-warming.

Back on earth James continued to not annoy me by actually giving some decent advice about what Lena should do with Reign. I was expecting the whole “never give up on her” routine he normally spews out but instead he was logical. He told her that she should try and save Sam for as long as possible but in the end Sam would choose Ruby over herself. At the end of the day, Lena should look to protect Ruby over Sam if it comes down to it. Obviously this was the worst case and last scenario but I was glad that James actually gave a well-considered answer (unlike what Supergirl would have).

The Alex sub-plot was enjoyable enough as it bought to the fore-front Alex’s worry about if her work at the DEO would allow her to start a family. Get a nanny…it’s what all other TV shows do to keep kids out of the way. It was a clever idea too to have her enemy be someone who not only we’ve never met before but being someone that Alex had never met before either. It really emphasised the argument as even people she doesn’t know have big enough problems with her that they would try to kill her.

Reign is out and ready to fight so lets see what the next episode holds. Please just let it be good…
