Supergirl (2015) s05e09 – Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 9, 2019
With the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, the CW Arrowverse achieves one of those DC Comics’s successes—they promise they understand, they promise they get it, they promise they’ll do it right, then it’s terrible. Not just regular terrible but also profoundly inept in some manner. See, you read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e08 – The Wrath of Rama Khan
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
The episode opens with Supergirl flying to Lena’s secret base to try to reason with her but Lena ignores her because Lena’s already got the bestest friend she could ever have in Andrea Brooks, who used to be Ms. Teschmacher but is now the AI Lena created to keep her company when she planned on beat read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e07 – Tremors
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 29, 2019
In an incredible turn of events Mitch Pileggi as the big bad—Leviathan—is actually kind of fun. Pileggi’s a millions of years old alien (he was around to see the dinosaurs get it) who for some reason has hung out on Earth and run a secret society. It’s not clear why. It’s also not clear why read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e06 – Confidence Women
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 12, 2019
Okay, so Steven Bauer is Julie Gonzalo’s dad, who’s been mentioned since the first episode of the season but never seen. It doesn’t appear to be a great part for Bauer but whatever, he’s fine. Though he does act to launder a bit of Gonzalo’s performance. He’s able to make it at least seem read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e05 – Dangerous Liaisons
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 5, 2019
This episode could be a lot worse. It does have some significant lows—like when Azie Tesfai has to pretend to cry, which she’s absurdly bad at doing. Like, it’s uncomfortable. Especially when you realize they went with the best take. Got to be able to cry on “Supergirl,” it’s one of the read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e04 – In Plain Sight
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 31, 2019
It took me a while to like Mehcad Brooks’s “Don’t Call Me Jimmy” Olsen. The character’s fairly flat, the show never really let Brooks do much either. He’d always get in the orbit of a controversial topic and then rush through a couple episodes and move on. Let’s not forget the show didn’t read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e02 – Stranger Beside Me
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 30, 2019
This episode ought to be called “The One With All the Whining.” First, there’s still Lena (Katie McGrath) whining—entirely to her super-Echo—about how Kara never told her the Supergirl thing. McGrath’s new plan is to pretend everything’s cool and exploit Supergirl’s friendship. Of course read more
Supergirl (2015) s05e01 – Event Horizon
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 30, 2019
Not much has happened since we last saw our heroes; Kara (Melissa Benoist) still hasn’t told Lena (Katie McGrath) about being Supergirl, even though she really, really wants to tell her, she really does… meanwhile Lena has created a talking AI to bitch at about how much she hates Kara for never read more
Supergirl (2015) s05e03 – Blurred Lines
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 30, 2019
Carl Lumbly shows up in this episode and you almost remember when you liked the stuff with J’onn (David Harewood). Barely. Lumbly’s voice brings back that warm feeling, so long missing on the show. And he’s got to be there because this episode’s all about Harewood finding out why he doesn’t read more

On Blu-ray: Helen Slater and Faye Dunaway in Supergirl (1984)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Sep 14, 2018
The 1984 production of Supergirl has always felt like a missed opportunity to me. It has its moments, but suffers from a weak script and story. However, though it was a box office and critical bomb upon its release, it will nevertheless forever be a showcase for Helen Slater’s charming first s read more
