The final scene might be one of my favorites from an Arrowverse show in a while.

After failing to fabricate any true heart (against her own judgment), Kara Danvers and Supergirl use genuine emotion and honesty to complete her mission. Even though so many struggling folks in the real world are uprooted from their homes for the sake of the latest economic institution, I am very shocked to see Supergirl cover such a heavy topic.Īlthough both Reporter Kara and Superhero Kara have to find a way to accomplish their goal, she goes about it through the same path. Danvers is derailed by Andrea Rojas’ obsession with going viral and getting likes, and Supergirl hits some roadblocks with prickly and rigid legislators.Īlthough this detail of “poverty assistance ruined by capitalism” is a little too on the nose for a nuanced allegory, I do not think it ruins this story. Kara Danvers wants to take a serious and journalistic approach to this issue, while Supergirl is trying to flex her public image to lobby National City’s City Council in maintaining their affordable housing building and not turn it into a tech company’s headquarters. The root of this mission from Orlando Davis losing his right to an apartment due to his exploitative imprisonment tenure and inability to get a job. The main issue Kara is trying to correct is affordable housing and improving formerly incarcerated folks’ lives. The main story throughout this episode revolves around both of Kara Zor-El’s personas attempting to fulfill her promise to the Davis brothers from the last episode. Supergirl Season 6, Episode 10: Kara takes on systemic issues However, I want to see Kelly improving in her skills and confidence before the likely climactic battle in the season finale.
If Kelly’s self-doubt continues past this episode in the same way, then I will be upset. Supergirl is the paragon of hope, so it makes sense that the Kryptonian is the one to reassure the Olson sister about her well-deserved place on this team. The shared scene between Kelly and Kara is the perfect way to end Kelly’s story for this episode. I knew right from that first training scene where Kelly’s episodic arc was going to go. Although Kelly isn’t doing exactly what she is being instructed, she is still succeeding with hand-to-hand combat. We see Kelly training with her girlfriend and ultimate combatant in Alex. Kelly Olson does the thing that all of us idealistic folks tend to do she has the idea to become the new Guardian, begins the process, and realizes it is harder than just speaking it into existence.
Supergirl Season 6, Episode 10: Will Kelly ever be ready to be Guardian? I am looking forward to seeing how this show handles Nia processing her emotional trauma. I am pleased that Nia’s story is finally picking up the pace and receiving some well-earned developments. Because of her mother’s assistance, Nia discovers her guilt and anguish are rooted back in her sister Maeve and the fact that Nia thinks she stole her sister’s legacy. This is exactly what Nia needed to hear and exactly who she needed to hear it from. Isabel rightfully scolds Nia for not embracing her powers and Naltorian duty. Momma Nal directed Nia into thinking about her daughter’s past mistakes while teaching her to learn from them and be empowered by them.
Lost season 6 episode 1 recap tv#
Isabel aided Nia in decoding her dreams, but she did it in a very indirect way in typical TV show fashion. These scenes between Nia and Isabel Nal (played by Kate Burton) are successful in their heartwrenching and emotional nature. Regardless, Nia gets what she wants out of their deal, which is 24 hours with her deceased mother. This has been going on for quite a bit, but now she has the 5th dimension Imp princess in Nyxly.Īs I have been saying since Supergirl returned from their pandemic hiatus, this mischievous and ever-growing antagonistic character has been using Dreamer for her own gain, but I think Nia Nal knows this.Īctually, the two are basically using each other for their own personal gain, but Nia does not fully comprehend how dangerous Nyxly is and could be. The main thing I was looking forward to playing out from Episode 9 was Nia Nal’s conundrum and internal struggles about her mother.
