Episode Review: 1x04 "Livewire"

By Corinne McCreery

I’ll open this week in saying that while still a fantastic episode, this is the first one that didn’t outshine the previous week’s for me. I still loved it, but I had some major hangups about certain parts of it. None of those problems came from what seems to be the controversial thing about the episode when I’m talking to others in my circles though. I have friends that don’t think they should have swapped episode order. That people should be ‘strong enough to separate reality from make believe.” I disagree with that sentiment and fully stand behind CBS’s decision to air the episodes out of order. I think it was both a respectful decision and one that makes a lot of business sense. The other options were to either air the originally intended episode, and possibly hurt and alienate some viewers into never coming back; or to not air any episode, which for a show that had been slipping in the ratings would have probably been a death knell. I’m glad they did what they did, and I think it shows the compassion that the show excels at. The episode still flowed well, the only continuity problem was how quickly it seemed that James and Lucy reconciled, but knowing the episodes were out of order made it easy for me to just assume the reconciliation happened in the one we missed.

Episode Review: 1x03 "Fight or Flight"

By Corinne McCreery

This show continues to amaze me. While “Fight or Flight” continues the trend of episodes that I loved more than the last, I was a little worried about this episode coming in, for two reasons.

The first is that Reactron is my favorite Supergirl villain, due mostly to Sterling Gates’s amazing run on the Supergirl comic in which he made her Kara’s archenemy, and with a very personal backstory to it. I was annoyed when the show announced that he was going to be introduced as a former Superman villain, because Reactron has always been a Supergirl villain first. Despite that reservation, I was really hyped for this episode, because I never, ever thought I’d see Reactron on screen. So a little bit of my worry was that I was overhyping it. 

The second reason was that I saw a spoiler for something that happened in this episode, and it seemed to point at the episode being a big let down episode. I saw that Superman was going to appear, and saw the clip of him saving Supergirl, and that worried me profusely. More on that scene in a bit.

1x03: "Fight or Flight"

Tim and Frank enjoy a cocktail during this week's chat, which leads to some interesting discussion. Why ARE Hank Henshaw's eyes red? Plus, Cat gets a scoop and Kara fights her greatest enemy yet with a little help from a certain someone.

Episode Review: 1x02 "Stronger Together"

By Corinne McCreery

So I loved the pilot episode, and watched it over twenty times between the time it leaked to the internet, and the time in which we finally got something new for me to watch. At this point “Stronger Together” has been out for three days. I’ve watched it a dozen times. Somehow, I like this episode even more than the pilot, and that makes me extremely happy. I just hope that each episode continues this trend. 



Melissa continues to shine in the role. She’s just such a phenomenal actress and embodies everything I love about the character, both on screen and off. Just like last week, it’s the little things that make me believe in her the most. In this episode it was the nose crunching when Cat suggested that Supergirl might be Superman’s girlfriend. It was the look of, “Oh god, why did I do this?” when she rescued “Fluffy.” It was a moment I’ll talk about in more detail later that happened at the end of the episode.
