Seriously, i don't know why this show is so hard to get through, but every time i finish an episode i get less and less excited for the next one. In this one Kara grants an interview to her boss as Supergirl which everyone will spend the first 20 minutes of explaining why what she did was wrong, then she has to fight a generic supervillain and complains about being inexperienced.
So let's talk about Kara because she really bugged me in this episode, first of all we get it, she screwed up in the interview, having every single character berate her for it is repetitive and annoying. Then there is her constantly complaining about being compared to Superman and being saved by Superman and wanting to define herself as her own hero...well if you wanted to do that, maybe you shouldn't have worn his outfit, taken his name and try to recreate the same reputation and persona that he has. It's like saying it's unfair to compare Man of Steel to Superman: The Movie, no it's completely fair, are there differences? Of course, but the branches stem from the same tree. Also how about that blatant misuse of her powers by eves dropping on Jimmy's conversation with Lucy Lane? Not very heroic to invade someone's privacy like that.
Talking of annoying characters, i kinda hate Kara's boss, not only she she an obnoxious, selfish, pretentious little bitch but she is probably the stupidest person on the planet to not be able to tell that Kara and Supergirl are the exact same person!
Then there's the villain of today's episode, he's generic as fuck, his hatred for Superman makes no sense, it's not Superman's fault his wife died, why blame him? Also how the fuck is this guy powerful enough to nearly kill Superman!? And in Kara's first fight with him, she beats him pretty easily so he flies off...why the fuck doesn't she chase after him!? And why isn't the DOA helping Kara hunt him down? Because he's not an alien? He's a fucking walking nuclear bomb! I don't give a shit what his DNA says! DO SOMETHING!! So yeah, overall, fucking awful villain in everyway possible.
Okay, let's actually talk about some good things about this episode, first of all, Maxell Lord, i like him, he's smart, he's charismatic, he's not a coward and speaks his mind, all signs of a good character. Alex wasn't annoying in this episode, the action was a lot better and they toned down the feminism message finally.
But apart from that, i really didn't like this episode, so many things about the characters annoy me, this villain is as awful as it can get and i found myself praying for it to end or for me to fall asleep. 3/10.
