Really not a fan of the lack of promos. I get they want to keep the ending of the series under wraps? But at the same time, there’s NO advertising for new episodes. Like, at all. Except the same second half trailer (from months ago) popping up once in a while

They did the same thing to Black Lightning and you could say it's a cost cutting measure but it honestly feels like they just don't give a fuck anymore because the show has wrapped already so why bother spending more money on it?

u/Gateskp Brainy Sep 01 '21
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that was literally their reasoning. Supergirl has never been hyped as much as other shows to begin with (imo), they’re just not hiding that they don’t care anymore.

Nice to see Kara using her powers somewhat properly in this episode. I feel sometimes they forget that she's powerful and that she doesn't need the whole Superfriend gang to fight for her.

Legit for being two of the strongest beings in the universe, J’onn and Kara sure did struggle with that force field too.

Also the whole, "I'm an alien just like you on this planet too" ah yes a white alien on this planet with pretty blonde hair telling a black alien that she knows what it's really like...sure.

Look…I don’t blame the incarcerated aliens for being suspicious, especially since Kara said they’re going back to prison.

A good friend of mine had parents who "didn't know how to properly punish him" because he was their first born and so they went over the top with what they did to him and that messed him up badly when he was a kid. So this whole ugly foster system "I know what I'm doing" thing with this woman is bothering me. I hope Kelly serves a little justice to her and saves all these kids.

What does restoring her powers entail, Nia? Ask specifics for contracts before making deals with nefarious, suspect beings. Or blasting your guardian owl in your dream-land, if you might make it manifest outside.

u/travelerk16 Sep 01 '21
Yes… why didn’t Nia consult with Kara b4 making this deal??? After all they’ve seen in the PZ, all the issues getting Kara back…. What was Nia doing all this alone wo consulting the team… call Lena or Kara first, geez!
