From boom to bust.

What in the ever fucking hell was that Supergirl?

Okay, quickly. It wasn't as bad as some episodes. It had some great moments, but as is so often the problem since S5 on the show, they got completely overridden by the shit portions.

The biggest one? Well, everyone is rightly complaining about the lack of Alex telling Kelly that Kara is Supergirl.

I'm still reeling from this one. When it became apparent that Kelly knew - I will be honest, I was so stunned, I couldn't even appreciate the great acting by Chyler and Azie. It detracted that much from their scene. And it never should have, because once again, they showed why so many of us love seeing them work together.

So now the next one on my list.

Tough to chose, but I'm going with the time issue.

When was this episode supposed to be set, in relation to episode one?

Because we get the introduction of Silas, and while they don't give a timescale on how long Kara has been missing, the way Nia then mentions Kara still being with Cat Grant, and the initial CatCo scene, all suggests this is very quickly after 6.01 ended.

Plus, even in The Tower, the suggestion is it hasn't been long at all since Kara was lost to the PZ.

But then, William (more on him later) is standing in CatCo, no sling. No sign of having ever been shot. Now, don't get me wrong, I've never been shot, but I have a multitude of health issues, and even if he had great physio, there should be no way in hell his arm has that much movement without some kind of impingement.

But then we have the trial of Lex.

Now even in Supergirl's world, there is no way that a trial would be just a couple of days after Kara is sent to the PZ.

And CatCo has published their hit pieces on Lex. The pieces they were still only discussing in the opening portion of the episode.

Cue in Kelly and Alex - no mention is given on how long Kara has been missing.

So is it days, (highly unlikely) weeks, (possible) or months (who the fuck knows).

That scene with Kelly and Alex was sitting there, just ready to give us the clarification on how long they've been trying to rescue her. But as usual, we are having to make up our own minds and try to figure this shit out ourselves.

William. What is the point of him? No seriously. What does his character bring. Other than him sitting in front of a monitor (oh yeah, what happened about trying to get to the court 🙄) like some neanderthal, grunting at the screen, throwing a temper tantrum at the Lex trial.

We got those scenes by him edited in, but nothing from Kelly and Alex that would've been far more impactful and emotional for the main audience.

William is utterly pointless.

Lex - to sum it up, I love Jon Cryer. I love his version of Lex Luthor.

I am so done with his villainous monologues and looks. It is not the damn Lex Luthor show. How do they not know this, even now. Episode one, I thought it was okay, but this episode - enough already.

Which brings me to Andrea. Look, I love Julie, and I've no issue with Andrea as a character per se, but already I'm sensing that Andrea is drifting towards the same fate as William, of being surplus to requirements.

These are my immediate thoughts on the episode. I know many more will go through my mind as I think on it, but right now - thank fuck that wasn't the season opener as planned, because I would've easily turned off.

The only thing keeping me going so far, is knowing that we are getting more action as Superfriends in general, plus we know Jon didn't film for much longer. Even if we are supposed to be getting Lex back in 5b for an undetermined amount of time. God helps us all.

Oh I almost forgot - Kara delivering that speech knowing what it is like to lose everyone you love. I've got no clue what she was referencing there. Not. A. One. Nothing we know from previous seasons fits the actual dialogue she gave. So many choices could've been made, and yet we got more confusion over what she was referring to.

Last thought, since we know Nia is involved with Brainy in the upcoming Midvale episodes, I'm wondering if that scene at The Tower with Brainy, Dreamer had is a precursor to the Midvale episodes but she didn't realise it, because of the circumstances of why she saw it? I guess we wait and see.

Do better Supergirl. Jesus, the writing alone this episode. I see better consistency with fanfic writers. Netflix has SG if you need to check on things, and failing that, Google is only a few keystrokes away to the answer.

Let's hope this improves because if it carries on in this vein, watch viewing numbers plummet again.

Unedited by me before posting, so apologies for any errors.

Oh shit. I forgot to add. I'm also sick and tired of Kelly shouldering everyone else. Kara was her friend too. Moreso her girlfriends sister. Not only has she now been told who Kara is, the impact that has isn't just on Alex.

Is it this unconscious bias that Black women are strong and should carry every burden? Because that's how it comes across to me.

I want Nia or Lena even being there for Kelly FFS.

[buddha-in-disguise]

Let's address the William problem on Supergirl.

All his scene in 6.01 did was reinforce for me the man is a stalkerish creep. His 'concern' for Kara wasn't a far more acceptable: 'Is she okay? Is there anyway we can help if she isn't.'

It was the entitled belief she owed him any kind of explanation as to where she was and what she was doing. How dare she not tell him outrage is not good.

As a survivor of IPV, as I've said so often with the character, his behaviour is now not just bordering on abusive. It is now showing a pattern of abuse. Why? One of the things many of us see in the IPV situation is the abuser wanting to know where you are. What you are doing. To begin with they couch it in terms of being worried for you. But that isn't worry. That's wanting to control. Different Earth aside, is he going to place a call in to his buddies and have Kara tracked, as he did in 5a? Because that's the feeling that he would take those actions that I got.

Supergirl needs to either have Kara, or someone like Nia, tell William flat out his behaviour isn't acceptable, or at least turn off or tone down this kind of messaging being okay. Because it isn't.

When you look at Brainy and J'onn and their concerns on how their past interactions could impact those they love - That's positive, affirmative behaviour from the men on-screen. 

More of that please Supergirl.

I should also add. Where in the actual fuck was his acknowledgement of Kelly's help in taking down Lex in his article! She might not be a journalist, but to ignore that aspect is just so wrong.

Edited from original Twitter post I did above:

I shut down my SM apps daily. Come back to this from Azie.

It reiterates all many of us have been saying about William as a character.

As I've now written several times from my perspective of a IPV survivor, his behaviour is classic abuse pattern. It was borderline but now isn't.

Felt the need to see more bloodied, badass Harrowhark fanart, so I created my own. Sorry for being so obsessed with these skull-faces, but the story is just so good, and I love how it motivates me to draw my favourite thing - bones, motherfucker.

Expect more when the second book arrives :’)

We know Kara has issues with claustrophobia. A few thoughts of mine, that are not to be taken as anything more than my mind rambling.

If Kara gets thrown into the phantom zone, still wearing the helmet on the Anti-Kryptonite suit, that's going to bring a new level of claustrophobia to it all!

But what about the guards, feeding off your fear?

Most people would be destroyed almost instantly, but Kara has already lost so much!

I'm not saying she won't have fears, but she's watched her planet explode. Watched an antimatter wave destroy Argo, then destroy everyone she loves. Got trapped in a place where time didn't pass, and no obvious way to escape. The paragon of Hope cracked for a time.

So while those fears of losing those she loves is probably still strong, I'm willing to bet that Kara's visceral reaction to the guards isn't as strong as most people. Thus, giving her the time needed before she is found and released, that won't destroy her mind and drive her mad.

I'm intrigued to see what happens.

Nicole Maines will be posting fan art all week, so can we just give everyone that gentle reminder that when there's inevitably a william drawing that we all can just not interract with it instead of complaining in her mentions? It takes zero effort to not be rude, and not interacting sends the same exact message: we don't like him, but we won't be rude to Nicole about it.

Yeah, this is really important. 

The actor is a close friend of hers in real life. So no doubt she’ll include the character, maybe even in a drawing with Kara and herself in a CatCo reporters style thing. If you don’t like it, simply do not engage, and instead give your likes, comments and retweets to whatever she posts that you do like. 

Her drawings are amazing and she’s giving fans cool stuff to get them hyped for the show as a countdown (which is more than what the network is doing). So just... ignore anything with William if you can’t stand it. 

We all know that most of the audience either cannot stand or simply reluctantly tolerates the character, and that’s fine and I’m in that boat as well, but it doesn’t need to be brought to her mentions, even if she mentions him first. 

[buddha-in-disguise]

a critic said that apperently thay are not dropping the kara and william (i dont know what to call that) but potential love interest.. is that true in your opinian? I really wished they didnt focused on that for the final season.

Ehhh that wasn’t my take? He’s still there as a character, so I guess it’s not ruled out. But I personally didn’t see anything romantic in his scenes.

K, finished, pfew! I can’t write fanfiction in english but if I could, it would be 40k words enemies to lovers slow burn medieval fantasy au where Lena would be from famous necromancer family (Luthors of course) and Kara somehow stuck with her on an epic quest. And all the way Lena would be like “I am NOT a necromancer! I am a mage ffs. FROST MAGE!! I am not like my family!” And Kara would be suspicious that there should be a risen skeleton somewhere around. And “Why are you so pale and cold huh? HUH?” “BECAUSE I AM A FROST MAGE KaRa! It’s my element. And I grew up in Luthor Manor, around mold and human bones. I had a skull as a toy, kArA!”

But I english is not my first language so I will stick to drawings XD

Supercorp Medieval fantasy AU. 

I took an arcane rune from some free stock, I guess it is from Warcraft, at least looks like it. I haven’t drawn the rune, I am too lazy. Sry T_T
