Mid-season Finale Updates

For the health of the show, rooting for Reign. I hope she wins the early fights by a significant margin

I believe she will win the early fights too. Although I also wonder if she's going to have a brief period of imprisonment like Alura did in season 1.

Anyways...could Ruby be used as a weapon against Reign, like do you guys think the sight of her would cause Sam to break through or hold back?

Couldn't that fight scene a dream\nightmare that Sam has? Sam stiill can't control her powers and just a few episodes later she wanted to fight Supergirl?

After 3 seasons, now The Flash has a Supergirl style villain, one who cannot beat the hero in a straight fight, one who resorts to plots and scheming.

Let's hope then Supergirl this season has a Flash style villain, one who is honestly powerful and a threat, one who would be considered heroic, instead of trivial, to overcome

I would like to see Reign totally kick Supergirl's arse, to the point of killing her and something clicks her back to Samantha and she doesn't do it. That to me would show that this foe is far different from any that Supergirl has faced...AND, I want Supergirl to realize that she is about to be killed, but Reign suddenly stops, there is compassion in her eyes for a split second and she disappears.

Yeah, I want Sam to be constantly fighting...I mean for this type of thing i kind of want Reign to be a separate entity given how likable they made Sam. Worried about being a bad mom even though we've seen she spends a lot of time with her kid. And confiding in her boss for advice on her kid.

Yeah, the way Sam was cowering on the floor...she was completely scared. I am still wondering how we're going to get from this to Reign in 5 episodes.

I just have a feeling that this is just going to be heartbreaking to the extreme....I'm not ready.

I mean if I had hallucinations like that, I'd do more than cower on the floor lol. Might have bolted out of the door screaming.

She's just a normal person now. If Barry saw Zoom before he got powers he'd crap himself. Wait till Reign gets powers though. It'll be a physical and mental transformation

I have to agree. I want to see Kara actually frightened a bit when facing Reign so that we can see Melissa's acting--overcoming fear and becoming stronger over a period of a few episodes. Supergirl needs to be rattled a bit.

Also, already beginning to imagine the horror on Kara's face the moment she realizes Reign is Sam

Why do so many people want to see Supergirl get beaten up and bloody? Do people really want to see poor Kara get stabbed through the chest and thrown down a mountain like Oliver, or get her back broken and hung up like a rag doll like Barry? I mean, I get that she needs a strong physical challenge, and that the greater the threat the greater the hero, but the show thus far has generally maintained a certain hopeful and optimistic tone that doesn't jive with lots of brutality. If it has to be done, at least let's keep it tasteful for the younger audience members.

But, weren't, back in season 1 Non and Astra both real physical threats to Kara?

LOL Ain't that the truth!

The nearly mute Non from Superman II was better.

Agreed, Sully. If you're going to screw up Sam...then go big or go home. We all are loving her. So, make Reign BIG.

I'm a bit torn on Sam becoming Reign and being a villain just because I like the character of Sam. But, if she didn't become a villain, I'm not really sure how she would fit into the show because I don't know that the show needs more everyday regular characters.

As far as a threat to SG, I don't really think that there has been a strong threat to SG thus far. I like watching shows/movies in which the writing of an antagonist takes me to the edge of apprehension, wondering how it would be possible that the hero will overcome such adversity to win. No villain or story on SG has been written in that way yet.

I think that, in order for SG to be looked at as a legitimate super hero, she has to face a villain that is shown to be as capable as she is in strength, intelligence and viability. Astra had that capability, and in a way, she did bring SG down emotionally but, unfortunately, they wrote a redemption arc for her before killing her off too soon.

If they're going to make Sam into the villain Reign, then I hope that they go full board on it and don't go for the sympathy angle too soon.

I do think they've succeeded in making us care about Sam for the most part. However I do think that Kara will have to think outside the box to defeat Reign. And it won't happen until she discovers Reign is Sam, where she will be able to use Ruby against Sam either by appealing to her, or by a trap.

Hmmm.....kkkiiinnnddaaa lookin like Mon-El's black tshirt in that there pod. If it IS him, there's gonna have to be some brain tweaking story about the Legion having gone back in time on Earth and getting stuck in sediment/bedrock....
