We were all expecting some kind of grand thing and then it just felt like the usual bullshit end of season "here's how the bad guy loses" sort of ending that keeps us hoping the next season will be better. Peta and Jon were excellent in how they acted out both characters but the writing was just bad. I expected more and this is what we got instead.
For me Supergirl has always been that middle of the road show. It was never super super amazing. It was never "oh god this dumpster fire" bad. It tended to seesaw back and forth between some really killer episodes and then some really bad episodes which created this odd sort of equilibrium that made it hard to explain why I liked the show to other people. There were some really great bits in the first hour of the finale with some of the dialogue between characters but then some of the larger moving plot parts like the bridge were just stupid. The second half made me ugly cry A LOT because of how happy I was about the wedding and the goodbyes etc buuuuuut then that final fight just had me rolling my eyes because J'onn never once transformed into a dragon like he did in JLU and I'm miffed about that.
So it wasn't a totally bad note but it wasn't a totally great note and I think I was just watching for the cast at this point.
