Supergirl Season Five Episode Discussion and Review Volume 2

I liked the Bottle Episode and Its a Super Life (#100) best of the post Crisis episodes. Both were well done and pushed Supergirl forward. I hate to say that Back to the Future parts 1 and 2 were uneventful in many ways. I was so looking forward to Winn's return and think I was over-expecting. I do think the immortality code will play big into Lex's endgame this season. So it is likely important in the Big picture but I was underwhelmed. The bodyguard bothered me that Supergirl looked weak against a somewhat lesser villain. The showrunner forgets this is SUPERgirl! We did see the return of Acrata in the new Earth Prime and we saw that Brainy can recall his doppelgangers. Megan can come back for another visit. I think Alex's I securities will play as context for the upcoming Alex in Wonderland, but I think it would have been better to have her come into realization of her self worth now that she is not DEO Director before being given a Martian weapon. The show needs to better balance the Paragon of Hope with the Maid of Might. I want to see more of Supergirl's physical strength and genius intellect. Season 5 has been very uneven but I absolutely love that Kara/Supergirl was so pivotal is the COIE crossover. I am wondering if her pregnancy will keep her out of next season's crossover.

Here's a spoiler lite advanced review of this week's episode,"Reality Bytes."
