Oh no! After her epic take down of Red Tornado, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) finds that her super powers aren’t working and she is suddenly quite human. The intense energy she expended to destroy her android adversary used up her energy reserves and her body needs time to heal. Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli) returns and appears […]
This week marks a return to our normally scheduled time line . . . and thank goodness! Even though I enjoyed the last two episodes, I’ll admit I was getting a bit confused. So where are we this week? Well, the Traumatic Thanksgiving Dinner of 2015 has now passed and Alex and Kara are questioning […]
Note: This episode was initially scheduled to air prior to “Livewire” but was shown out of order due to the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13th, 2015. CBS changed the numbering of the shows though I suspect they will be put back in order for the DVD release. I have elected to keep […]
Note: This review is for Supergirl Episode #5 “Livewire”.

With the help of her friends Winn and James, Kara started learning to use and, more importantly, control her superpowers. Then Alex found herself in a bit of trouble during an ambush and Kara […]
I don’t know about you, but if I woke up tomorrow and had crazy super strength and the ability to fly . . . I’d probably find a way to screw something up. Thankfully I’m not a Kryptonian but our heroine Supergirl is having some issues in this second episode of her series. Last week […]
Last week’s premiere episode was a thrilling hour of television. We saw the amazing transformation of Kara from unassuming office assistant into a high flying, cape wearing, bad guy defeating heroine. As she began to embrace her super powers Kara also developed a stronger purpose in life. Revelations about her family, both human and Kryptonian, […]
