Six years, two networks, a pandemic, and some really bumpy seasons have led up to this finale. We've been promised a wedding, but it's not for Kara. Will the last six season of television wrap up in a satisfying way, or will it remind us more of the series' lowest points instead of its highest…

Supergirl is very nearly finished with its six-season run. As the series prepares for its two-hour finale, its characters are settling into place for their futures. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 18, "Truth or Consequences." "Truth or Consequences" THREE EPISODES LEFT UNTIL THE SERIES FINALE — Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) is determined to keep everyone safe…

Another day, another totem. Such is the life of Supergirl, freelance superhero. After quitting her job at CatCo, Kara is focusing full-time on dealing with the threat of Nyxly, jilted fifth-dimensional imp princess. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 17, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love." "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" LEX RETURNS —…

After six seasons, Supergirl is now in its endgame. We have, after this week's episode, just four weeks left with the Girl of Steel. The show takes big steps this week to set up where the show is heading in its final arc. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 16, "Nightmare in National City." "Nightmare in…

What's harder: being mom to a lonely, frustrated young alien, or stopping nuclear war? It's kind of a toss-up, apparently. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 15, "Hope for Tomorrow." "Hope for Tomorrow" NYXLY KIDNAPS WILLIAM — Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) continues to fight Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) for the remaining totems but after Nyxly kidnaps William (Staz…

Lena Luthor becoming a witch felt weird, and it still kind of does. But in devoting an episode to her, the writers have made a case for why this is a natural evolution for this character. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 14, "Magical thinking." "Magical Thinking" LENA MUST ACCEPT HER NEWFOUND POWERS IN ORDER TO…

Taking a page from video games, Supergirl and Nyxly are in a race to collect seven totems that, when together, give the user unimaginable power. Just like the TriForce from Zelda, one of them is even the Totem of Courage. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 13, "The Gauntlet." "The Gauntlet" Superhero stories talk about courage constantly; it's…

If you're a superhero of the people, it's only a matter of time before you end up doing PSAs. Captain America did it in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and now it's Supergirl's turn to do the same over on the CW. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 10, "Still I Rise." "Still I Rise" If…

Supergirl is back for its final run before the series finale. The show was at its best in season 4, where the show gave its heroes a problem that required both Kara and Supergirl to solve. After too many episodes about sketchy pseudo-science last season and Spooky Prison this season, this feels like Supergirl getting back…

Thanks to a combination of COVID-19 and the growing and shifting universe of CW superhero shows, Supergirl's final season has been weird. The network aired the first seven episodes of the season in the spring, and then put the show on pause for three months to give Superman and Lois room to breathe. Now Supergirl is back…

For all of Supergirl's struggles throughout Seasons 5 and 6, one thing remains true about the show: the cast is really, really good. Melissa Benoist (Kara Danvers/Supergirl), Jesse Rath (Brainy), Katie McGrath (Lena Luthor), Nicole Maines (Nia Nal), and David Harewood (J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter) have all elevated what can otherwise be hammy writing, making scenes…

One of the things WandaVision excelled at was making itself feel like shows from the '50s, '90s, and other decades. One show style they didn't try to replicate was "CW show circa  2010." It's a good thing Supergirl is here to handle it. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 6, "Prom Again!" Prom Again! Part 2, appropriately, picks up…

For someone who can fly faster than a speeding bullet, Supergirl sure seems directionless lately. This is the show's final season and so far the story has been Supergirl trapped in a space cave while her friends fight space nosferatu. No one's going anywhere. What is this season about? Well, this episode doesn't really provide any…

When watching a show or a movie, it can be tough to balance what you know with what the characters know. Watching Avengers: Infinity War, it was hard not to think about how many of those characters had announced sequels or had just come off of billion-dollar movies. It's the same with Supergirl. To Alex and…

Unlike Batwoman and The Flash, which spent a solid seven episodes finishing off the previous season, Supergirl seems to have managed it with just one episode. The premiere rushed through the right parts--boring Leviathan stuff--to focus on Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor, one of the show's very best assets. Now, we seem to be properly into the show's final…
