Synopsis: An inexplicable Supergirl clone appears in National City, and Kara goes on a date. Rating: ????? One of my favorite things about Supergirl, is that literally everyone loves Kara?

Supergirl: Strange Visitor From Another Planet Recap
Synopsis: Cat’s estranged son comes to town, and the White Martians attack. Rating: ★★★★☆ This was simultaneously the most deeply emotional and nerdiest episode of TV I’ve seen in awhile.

Synopsis: Kara must protect National City from a series of bombings and babysit Cat’s son, while James is visited by Lucy Lane. ★★★★☆ This was a rough week for Kara. Not only were bombs going off all over the city, but she also volunteered to watch Cat’s son, Carter. Carter […]
Supergirl: Livewire Recap
Synopsis: Thanksgiving brews trouble for the Danvers family, and an angry DJ developing superpowers doesn’t help matters much. Kara learns a devastating secret about her foster family.
