Supergirl Series Finale Recap

One thousand, six hundred and twenty one articles. This is how many news articles I've written about the Girl of Steel. There, of course, are also interviews, spoilers, media, so much more that the team here has written but for us, this has been a seven-year long journey. I started covering the show before it launched in 2015 so I've been with Supergirl and her journey for a long time. I've made the conscious choice to keep my personal feelings about the show out of our news coverage and I think that has worked well and allowed your voices to lead the conversation. Several of you have reached out to me personally wondering what will happen next for Supergirl.tv, we'll be around. After the series is over, we will be sharing some of our personal stories that this journey has provided us. We plan to pull back the curtain and show you ALL the stuff we went through with this show. Some of it not so fun, and some of it, absolutely magical.

Of course we would love to have you all join our other sites like, Batwoman.tv, Stargirl.tv, DCTV.news, TheWitcher.tv, YoungJustice.tv, and of course, SupermanAndLoistv.com. We will also keep the lights on here as well and bring Supergirl related news should it develop. For now, let's focus on Kara's last journey and share with you all the things that stood out to us this episode:

  1. Ransom: Lex recorded a message that sets the stage for Nyxly to get the All Stone. They need to bring all the totems they have plus the final destiny totem to a neutral location where magic and powers don't work. Alex and Kelly are willing to give Nyxly anything to get Esme back but Kara is trying to keep a level head about it. Meanwhile, Nyxly tries to do the Love totem gaunlet but it doesn't work for some reason. Lex offers to get it himself but she forces Lex to agree to never hurt Esme.
  2. Mother Luthor: Lillian arrives at Lex's hideout. Lex has publicly been accused of murder and he's never been so brash. Lillian is there to call out Lex and see why there is this new behavior. She discovers that Lex is in love with Nyxly and she demands Lex drop her. Lex chooses Nyxly. Nyxly tries again for the love totem but fails and Alex and Kelly share their helplessness feelings at the tower. Dreamer and Brainy go together into the dream realm to find the totem. They get the location, learn Esme is ok but couldn't find Lex. Kara is quickly able to get the totem but in doing so sees a future where Lex and Nyxly win. Once she has the totem, Alex arrives and takes the totem.
  3. Alex vs Kara: Alex will do anything for Esme and get her back. Kara is still thinking about the greater good but eventually Kara lets Alex go with the totem to pay the ransom. Lillian, without having the success she wanted from Lex plants doubt in Nyxly about Lex. Team Supergirl, without Alex and Kelly, formulate another plan. There is a satellite that can shoot direct sun energy right into Kara. That amount of new energy will give Kara god-like reflexes and she could take on Lex and Nyxly even without the All Stone but the Sun will be dim for four months causing severe problems on Earth. Kara thinks the ends justify the means and begins to power up.
  4. Betrayal: Nyxly catches Lex trying to get the love totem. He is almost successful but Nyxly stops him and the totem appears. This is the last straw for Nyxly and she ends her relatonship with Lex. Nyxly heads to the bridge. There, Alex, Kelly, Dreamer, and Lena wait. The exchange goes well and Esme is saved. Nyxly powers up and creates the All Stone. Lex and his mother arrive and he blows up the bridge which tumbles everyone to the river below. Kara continues to power up but seeing how she is scaring people, she decides to abandon her plan.
  5. All out for the All Stone: All the players at the bridge make a plan for the All Stone. It is tossed around like a hot potato. Supergirl and Brainy arrive to help. Esme gets a hold of the All Stone and smashes it. It is broken into three pieces. Lex gets a piece, Kara gets a piece and Lex gets one. Lex and Nyxly begin to fight using their shards.  Lena uses magic to break up the fight but Nyxly sees an open shot. Lillian takes the hit for Lex and saves him. Lex then goes after Nyxly for this betrayal. Lillian is moved to the Tower med bay and the more Nyxly and Lex fight the more they drain humanity of what makes them human. Humans start to drain and turn black and white. Kara is unsure what to do and goes out into the city to find how humanity can pull back from the energy that is stolen from them.

Kara, final episode begins:

  1. Black and White: Humanity continues to wane. Lillian tells Lena that she knew that Lena was a witch and placed magical blockers around to supress her powers and forced her into science. Lillian dies trying to free Lena from her Luthorism. Kara returns to the tower with the idea that it isn't Supergirl's job to save everyone but to, instead, show people how they can save themselves. If people call back their own humanity, it will depower Nyxly and Lex. Brainy with the help of Lena's magic sends a message to all of humanity at once. She is able to empower everyone with her words. Now depowered, Lex and Nyxly call in reinforcements. A gauntlet of old foes appear to fight. Red Tornado, Parasite, Metallo, even a dragon.
  2. Legion of Superheroes: Team Supergirl engages all the new enemies. It turns out that Supergirl's speech was so life changing, the effect was felt in the future and The Legion arrives to help. Mon-El arrives to stop Lex, and Winn, piloting a legion ship, zaps the dragon. Even James has returned to help out. Even when Lex gets the drop on Lena, Andrea arrives out of the darkness to save her! Alex's mom also shows up to stop Nyxly. Supergirl, Mon-El, J'onn, Toyman, Dreamer, Guardian 1, Guardian 2, Andrea, Lena and Alex arrive to stop the pair. Lex opens a portal to the Phantom Zone! This backfires and the Phantoms only target Lex and Nyxly. Hubris is the ultimate mask of fear and with humanity powered up, only Lex and Nyxly are taken back to the Phantom Zone!
  3. William's Funeral: Everyone attends Willaims funeral, even the Legion. The President has called J'onn to form a new DEO that J'onn and team will re-imagine as they see fit. The Legion heads back to the future but Winn will return for Kelly and Alex's wedding. Brainy is prepared to return to the future with Mon-El as well.

In the finale wrap up moments, which actually last about 2/3s of the episode, Kara sees that her inspiration has taken hold and even a cat stuck in a tree no longer requires her intervention. Cat Grant calls to let Kara know she has bought Catco back from Andrea. She want's Kara to be the Editor-in-Chief of the paper. They will only report on the things that need to be reported. Not fluff like Andrea did. Kara shares the news and her crossroads with Alex on a final couch scene.

The Wedding of Danvers and Olsen:

  1. Before the Wedding: J'onn performs decorations in the sky, Alex reveals herself to her mom and Kara and Esme arrive for hugs! James gets to see Kelly and he shares how proud he is of Kelly.
  2. Brainy Returns: Brainy throws caution to the wind and returns to our time to be with Nia. No longer wanting to be a hero in the 31st century, Brainy is here to stay. Winn and Kara sing the wedding procession song. A perfect time for Melissa and Jeremy to show off their pipes. J'onn performs the wedding and Kelly and Alex's bond is made official.
  3. The Originals: We next get a few scenes from the originals. Winn and J'onn share a moment where we find out that J'onn and M'Gann will have a son! James takes a present from Esme and gives her a camera to pass on the tradition. James, Winn and Kara reminisce about season one. The secret office they hid in from Cat Grant.
  4. Ms. Grant: Kara gets a call from Cat at the wedding. She reveals that she knows "Kira" is Supergirl. Cat makes the suggestion that what she can do as Kara and what she can do as Supergirl don't have to be separate. Kara then makes the choice that she could take the Editor-in-Chief job but as Kara Zor-El. Without a secret identity, she won't have to make excuses to rush off and save people. Still not totally convinced, Lena encourages Kara to make the jump and take off her glasses. As Kelly and Alex leave for their honeymoon, Kara takes off her glasses for the last time.

We are treated to the season six cast all enjoying another game night seemingly after Kelly and Alex's honeymoon, the final scene, that of Cat Grant interviewing Kara aka Supergirl to the world!

Supergirl Series Finale Galleries

Today we have our first look at part one of the series finale of Supergirl. The episode is titled "The Finale Gauntlet" and we will share the photos below. We have a suspicion that the next episode gallery images will be available soon so we will add them here when they are free as well. The first major thing we see is that Lex and Nyxly seem to be meeting Alex and Kelly to do some kind of swap for Esme. Additionally, we see Andrea back in her black suit and working with the team. It would seem William's death was enough to shock her out of inaction and start to play a part and take responsibility for what she's done. Check out the images below:

And here we have the final gallery from Supergirl! A huge six year journey, longer if you include the pilot season! This gallery has it all! 29 images with a sister couch, wedding, Legion and Supergirl! Check them out below:

Truth or Consequences Recap

Three episodes, two nights, one series finale left. The countdown clock has been reset for the last time, it will countdown to the beginning of the series finale then begin counting up from when Supergirl last flew on our television screens! A bitter-sweet moment for sure! It feels like there is so much more to cover than what can be crammed into three episodes. We have a bachelor party, a wedding, the return of some of the Legion of Superheroes, Supergirl and her team need to defeat Nyxly and Lex Luthor for good this time, and we can't imagine Kara giving up journalism for good. Every second counts in these finale episodes, here's what stood out to us:

  1. Lex and Nyxly: Lena suggests Alex has her bachelor party that night. Esme had some trouble at school. On the news Lex Luthor’s love letters are “leaked” by William Day. Will storms back to Catco to have a word with Andrea. He berates her for having no ethical code and how she stands for nothing. Brainy made a call to the 31st century, learning what Lex and Nxyly achieved in the future. He relays the info back to the rest of the team. They get a ping on the couple, and attempt to fight them. They are shocked to find the hope totem intact behind Nyxly, and manage to escape with it.
  2. Truth Totem: Lex gives a pep-talk to Nyxly and her crystal ball starts to work and shows where the Truth totem is. In the future, the big brain took much damage. He is asked to return to the future to merge with it thus ending his time with Nia and his existence. Nyxly uses the truth totem and experiences a gauntlet. She speaks true things to herself and is given the truth about those close to her. Kara suggested that Esme might benefit with some kind of power dampener. Alex gets upset at her suggestion and wants boundaries.
  3. Savior of Culuans: Brainy has to return before the current conflict is resolved. Nia offers to go to the future with Brainy but she would destroy the space time continuum. Nxyly uses the truth totem to discover that Lex's intentions are as true as he's said. Advice hour time. Andrea looks to Lena for advice, J'onn and Kara speak about Kara overstepping.
  4. Esme's Powers: Alex continues to work on understanding why her powers are changing. They have a new student in her class that is also an alien that is causing Esme's outbursts. Lena gets a hit on Nyxly's ship and Kara and J'onn go to investigate. Lex has incorporated the totems that Nyxly has into her suit which makes her even more dangerous. The pair attack Supergirl but she blasts them with her heat vision. J'onn takes on two other Lex-o-suits and defeats them easily. Kara blasts a hole into the ship and the atmosphere is venting. J'onn and Kara narrowly escape the destruction of the ship with the totem.
  5. Five Totems Secured: Kara has five totems now all secured at the Fortress. Esme won her baking contest and Kara and Alex discuss what's happened between them. Lex has a secret base where he's taken Nyxly. The pair comes to terms with the truth. Lex really does love Nyxly. They are tired of being alone and Nyxly is starting to come around to Lex. As Nyxly starts to fall for Lex the crystal reveals the location of the love totem. The Supergirl team celebrates Kelly and Alex. They all go and dance the night away. Brainy is troubled that he has to leave. Nia and Brainy decide to cherish the time they have left. William and Esme do some baking. Lex and Nyxly arrive at the fortress looking for Esme.

In the final wrap up moments, Lex and Nyxly hold William hostage. Nyxly goes to find Esme while Lex holds him at gun point. Lex calls out William for the articles in Catco. Nyxly finds Esme and takes her. Lex returns to shoot William in the chest. As William lay dying on the floor, Lex reveals how he's been ahead of them all the whole time. Blood test results come back showing that Esme is the totem. Andrea gets the message from William and sees the results of her actions. William is dead on the floor and Esme is gone.

I Believe In A Thing Called Love Recap

Our precious few episodes of Supergirl are dwindling down. That's ok though, as we are slowly coming to terms that the show is ending. Looking backward to last week, the polls did not show "Nightmare in National City" in a favorable light. First episode where no stars showed up in the top three rankings. Personally for us, we were so excited for tonight's all new episode because we are such huge fans of Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor! Having him team up with Nyxly in a villain combination that even Supergirl might need help with! The question still remains, however, is Lex truly on Nyxly's side, or will he double- cross her to get what he wants? Here's what stood out to us:

  1. Lex Luthor from the Future: Lex teams up with Nyxly, convincing her that together they will be able to complete the all stone. Lex explains he is from the future, and in that timeline, he and Nxy teamed up, but something went wrong and she nearly died. He is here to change the future. Nyxly rebuffs him, not trusting his words. Back at the tower, Alex shows Kara and J’onn the ring that she got for Kelly. Tomorrow is when she will propose to Kelly, on the day she knew she loved her, and nervously plans around the proposal. Alex goes to the bar, hoping to book it for tomorrow. The owner explains that the place is booked up, and offers to book them a different day. Lex speaks with Otis, figuring out how to have this Nyxly fall in love with him just like in the future. At night the team set a trap for Nyxly, placing the heart totem in a tree and surrounding her. Lena suppresses the totem’s powers with magic, but it’s not enough. The rest of the team attack, about to take her into containment when Lex shows up to rescue her. Before leaving, he looks at a shocked Lena and asks, “Miss me, sis?”
  2. Kryptonite Recovery: Lena and Kara disuss the battle. They just fought Lex and Nyxly and Lena is pissed. Andrea pushes William to run his Lex story but William buys 24 hours to prove it. Lex's tech looks like it came from the 31st century. Lex is time traveling. Brainy tries to use the totems as a way to protect the team. Brainy hasn't contacted the legion yet about Lex traveling to the future. J'onn and Kara think about which totem to use and the courage totem is selected. But it still has the gauntlet on it so J'onn volunteers to try.
  3. J'onn's Gauntlet: J'onn relives the genocide of the green martians and passes the gauntlet. Lex, being from the future already knows when and where the totems are and he sets Nyxly on the path for the love totem and that she'll need Lex's help. Both teams go for the totem but neither are able to get it. Kara experiences a nightmare from the dream totem. Did Lex whisk away the love totem?
  4. A Hateful Reason: The love totem is known to disappear from time when it feels hate. Nyxly's hateful reason for wanting the totem pushed it away. Through the courage gauntlet, J'onn performed differently but he still lost his daughters, and that feeling happened again when Supergirl was hit with the nightmare. Supergirl decides that she wants to use all the totems they have to fight against Lex and Nyxly. Kara asks that Lena's magic help her to keep her humanity when she uses the totems. We discover that Lex meets Nyxly in the future after she is successful with the all stone. Without her burden, she was much more receptive to Lex.
  5. A Double Cross Booking: Alex and Kelly have the same plan all along and they both booked Al's bar. Alex arrives to speak with Al but Kelly is already there to propose. The proposal summons the love totem. Lex and Nxyly arrive and Kara and J'onn begin to battle the pair. Kara uses the totems and Lena keeps her in check with her magic. They were able get Nyxly trapped but Lex jumps to her aid.

In the final wrap up moments, the love totem has turned black. Alex and Kelly resume their proposal after Alex assures the team love hasn't left this world. Nyxly is saved by Lex and it seems that his love for Nyxly is genuine. Nyxly sees Lex's actions as enough to take him as a friend and trust him. The team celebrates at the tower. Brainy saw the change in Lex and he decides to go to the future and speak with the Legion. Lex reveals that the totems can't be destroyed, they just take on a new shell. That shell for the love totem is Esme! Check out a preview for next week's all new episode below:
