3. Supergirl, “For Good” (Jan 29th)

This episode was a little dense, trying to combine several season arcs into one episode. Lena’s development is nice, though not much is added to the Luthor-Edge conflict. ‘For Good’ takes too long to have exciting action. Granted, the Momma Luthor Iron Man fight is sick. However, the stuff leading up to it is a lot of talk. The Reign subplot was a lot of rehashing “you’ve gotta open up,” which is a theme already covered by Lena’s storyline. The episode was a lot of repetitive chatter. Thankfully, there is some solid Guardian action, which the show has sorely lacked all season. It’s almost enough to keep the episode engaging – but not fully.

SCORE: 6.5/10 Hacked Cars
