Yes, everything the other reviewers say about Chyler Leigh's dramatic performance here is true. As for Supergirl holding back a starship, suffice to say that I find it too much to take, I mean, if she can do that, there's really no thrill in seeing her taking on bank robbers and such like... but okay...
Just to say that the episode gets my vote for action and suspense.
But there are things that bother. We're bombarded by the anti-male stance, and liberal politics keep on building illogical utopian view castles in the air. The show dreams about overthrowing those that built the Western world... Supergirl was created for a time when the old Red, White & Blue had its back to the wall on the European front, and is now being hijacked by everything that is in essence far-flung from old American ideals.
There might not be many such references in this particular episode, but the strongest one to date was in here, the blatant labelling of the leader of the Free World as a "fascist"... a guy who is simply being a wise father putting America first. I think that is an uncalled for low blow. In a show that carries the old Red, White & Blue with an All-American blonde blue-eyed cheerleader heroine, how utterly moronic ironic.
Keep less-than-insightful politics out of entertainment!
