Star Wars reference aside, after tonight's all new episode, we are certainly learning who the Phantom Menaces are and where they are going to make their stand. A two-front war, Supergirl and her father in the Phantom Zone, and team Supergirl right here in National City. With the fracturing of The Phantom Zone due to Crisis on Infinite Earths, Kara may be away for a while. Add to that Lex Luthor still being in the picture, there is a lot our heroes have to contend with in this final season! Check out the trailer for the next new episode below:

A Few Good Women Recap
4/6/2021 7:01 pm
Supergirl is stranded in the Phantom Zone, Lex Luthor has been stopped, captured, and memory erased of Supergirl's true identity. Brainy is alive and working on his relationship with Nia, and finally, Alex needs to tell Kelley about her sister's true identity! Woof, ok there is a lot to cover going into our second episode. Of course, we can understand that with Covid-19 and such this is kind of the true season premiere that we've been looking forward to. Frankly, we view it as a gift, no summer break for resolution, just straight into the next episode. In terms of network television, this is as close to binging multiple seasons as it gets! Here's what stood out to us:
- Error: Our service that allows us to watch East Coast feed pre-empted us to watch a baseball game. We found an alternative where we joined Andrea giving Cat Co new marching orders. William and Nia were tasked with tracking a new story together. Lex Luthor is in prison where he is being visited by Lillian. In The Phantom Zone, Supergirl is rescued by Zor-El, her dad!
- Zor-El: Supergirl is able to meet her father and tell him that he's saved his daughter and Argo survived. Zor-El is a tormented soul. He won't face the Phantoms. As long as he stays in his cave, the phantoms leave him alone. Kara speaks about Fort Rozz and that there is a doorway out. Zor-El is terrified. Andrea presses Lena for an interview but Lena refuses and walks out on her. The Alien who is helping team Supergirl to build a door into and out of the Phantom Zone, Silas, is terrified. He tried to do it before and lost his husband Owen. M'Gann calls out J'onn on his obsession on getting Supergirl out. She notes that J'onn is acting as a father, not a soldier. In the trial of Lex Luthor, Lex represents himself. He breaks down Miss Tessmacher on the stand. The case is heavily dependent on Miss Tessmacher's testimony but Lex forces her to look like a jilted lover.
- Luthor Corp Buy Out: Lillian goes to Lena to sell Lena her shares. This would give Lena control of Luthor Corp. Lena wants to testify against him but Lillian cautions against it. Brainy and Dreamer begin to train to try and locate Supergirl in the Phantom Zone. This will be a tax on Dreamer and her abilities that she's never experienced before. Supergirl decides to leave the cave of protection the Phantom Zone provides. She is attacked by phantoms almost immediately. Zor-El comes swinging.
- Determination: Supergirl won't stop for anything to march through the Phantom Zone and escape. She inspires Zor-El to help her. Lena takes the stand to go toe to toe with her brother. Lena walks Lex into his ego and he loses it.
- Portal to The Phantom Zone: Crisis on Infinite Earths has fractured the Phantom Zone into nearly infinite pieces. We may be all aligned on one Earth, but the pocket dimension that Supergirl is in is nearly impossible to detect. Phantoms break free from the portal and team Supergirl holds them off until Silas can reopen the portal and force them back into the zone.
In the final wrap up moments of the episode, Lex Luthor is found not-guilty. Andrea tasks William with finding her the next big story. J'onn and M'gann share a moment and J'onn realizes that he has been reacting like a father. Back at Alex's appartment, Alex has bought all the pot stickers in National City only to take defeat. Alex feels terrible and is starting to wonder if there is a world without Kara and Alex is breaking down. Andrea goes to apologize for trying to use Lena. Lex and Lillian share a chess game while Lex considers his next move. A phantom hid inside Silas and is free in National City. Kara and Zor-El watch the Phantoms use portals to move around. They develop a plan to capture a Phantom.

Tonight we have an all new episode of Supergirl and after last week, our Girl of Steel is trapped in the Phantom Zone. Today, The CW released 12 brand new images from episode three "Phantom Menaces". Judging from the photos, we aren't going to get a quick resolution for getting Kara back from that terrible place. That said, we can understand why that narative choice was made. It keeps Melissa isolated and more safe. Less contact with people takes her risk of Covid-19 way down and is healthier for her and her new born. Looking ahead to the images, M'Gann seems to be sticking around and she looks injured. That's not all, take a look for yourself below:

We are off to the races Supergirl fans! What did you think of that season finale/season opener? We have to be honest, this was clearly meant to be the season finale from last year but obviously Covid-19 delayed that episode. Now that we know where Kara is, back in the phantom zone where she spent 12 years alone before arriving on Earth, how long do we think she'll be stuck there. How many of you have seen the 1984 Supergirl film? Curious if there isn't a clue as to what Supergirl's current predicament is. Check out the promo for next week's all new episode of Supergirl just below:

Supergirl Season 6 Rebirth Recap
3/30/2021 6:59 pm
Welcome home Supergirl fans! It is time for us to go on one last journey with The Girl of Steel! We are so happy you all are with us for this final season of what got us started in this industry in the first place! Some minor house cleaning items to open up with, it is Spring after all. It is important to note again, Covid-19 has brought a ton of television production disruption. Tonight's episode features many scenes filmed before the shut down. Two, the show knew Melissa was pregnant, and they wanted to respect that. While we all want The Girl of Steel up front and center every episode, please note some of these choices were made for Melissa's benefit. I think that is something we can all get behind, right?
Interesting side note, after watching tonight's episode, we encourage you to watch this sizzle reel from The CW noting their "Spring" shows. If you've watched Stargirl or Superman and Lois, you'll note the shows look very visually different than other Arrowverse shows. We are interested in your opinions here, does the short Supergirl clip look like it is benefiting from the new cinematic look or are we just reading too much into this?
But enough with the house cleaning, its time to go up up and away on an all new episode of Supergirl, here's what stood out to us:
- Picking Up Where We Left Off: We jump right back into where we left off nearly a year ago. Nia arrives to save Brainy. Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Alex, and Miss Martian all arive to take on Gamenmae. Once Alex heals Brainy, he uses the anti-life equation to bring down Gamenmae. Supergirl yells for everyone to get out while the Leviathan ship is destroyed.
- Lex Luthor, God: Lex, under the help from his mom, takes on all the energy that Leviathan had. He now has their powers. Lex reveals that all those that were in VR are not programmed to love Lex no matter what he does. Those that weren't will be killed via his satellite network. Lex's mom demands that he not kill Lena, where he aptly says "why not, she killed me first". That said, Lex agrees. Team Supergirl meets to discover how to bring down SuperLex, there is a rock like Kryptonite but works against Leviathan powers. They need to use Myriad to undo what Lex did. Supergirl offer's to give herself up to distract Lex long enough for the Martians to bring the satellites down. Supergirl get's Lex to agree and meets her at the Fortress.
- Andrea the Failure: Obsidian will be bankrupt as soon as the market opens the next day. Andrea's father blames her for everything and has disowned her. Kelley tries to reassure her. Meanwhile Alex counsels J'onn on the major joining he and M'gann are about to do. They will know everything about each other and being this open and vulnerable is scary for J'onn. Brainy and Dreamer work to try and salvage their relationship now that Brainy can tell Nia what he was doing. Andrea uses her powers to force her father to buy her shares out giving her power over the still profitable Cat Co.
- Supergirl's Death: Supergirl knows that she might die from her fight with Lex. She takes time to record a message on a crystal for those seeking her guidance in the future. Lex arrives to kill Supergirl and while there, the team is able to attack the satellite network and get the bottle of rock energy to de-power Lex. After some back and forth, Lex takes it to the final blow and blasts Supergirl with Kryptonite until she is dead ... but when the population is safe, Lena's protocol is activated in the fortress and Supergirl is blasted with yellow sun radiation and wrapped in her Kryptonite safe suit. She is revived.
- To Lex Goes The Spoils: Lex celebrates his victory singing "We are the Champions" by Queen in the Fortress. Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Dreamer, Alex, Miss Martian all arrive to take Lex out and de-power him. Lex gets the better of them all and heads to grab a phantom zone projector. Supergirl kicks the de=powering crystal over to Alex who is able to blast Lex and remove his powers but not before sending Supergirl to the Phantom Zone. Without knowing where in the Phantom Zone Supergirl is, there is no way to return her. Lex uses his knowledge that Kara Danvers is Supergirl to hold off conviction but Lena knocks him out. Lena encourages Alex to tell Kelley who her sister is.
In the final wrap up moments, Cat Co is shielded from Obsidian's fallout. She devotes her paper to real reporting, something that William has made possible with his exposé on Lex with Miss Tessmacher's testimony. Nia is able to cover for Kara being gone by claiming Cat Grant called her away on a story. Lena arrives in jail to wipe the minds of her mother and brother so they don't know Supergirl's identity. J'onn gives Alex a code name, Sentinel! The wall of Justice League members in Supergirl's hide out adds Alex to the board. They are working on a way to mount a rescue mission to get Supergirl back from the Phantom Zone. We are left with seeing Supergirl in the Phantom Zone unconscious and being surrounded by Phantoms! Until next week!
