While Alex may not have powers, that moment proved once again that Kara isn’t the only supergirl on this show as Alex is one too.Īfter Alex saves Kara from the dream world, the episode took several turns for both the good and bad. Even though J’onn/Hank is the one in charge at the D.E.O., I always love when Alex takes in charge of any situation and who better to lead the operation to save Supergirl, than her family? It was emotionally powerful to see the scene where Alex gave a speech about pain being part of life, to get Kara to remember. I liked that she knew from the get-go that it was a hallucination, until she got persuaded to think that it was all real and stared forgetting her life on Earth.Ĭhyler Leigh has been a strong force since the start of the show, but in this episode she completely stole the whole show and gave one of her most powerful performances so far. I expected Kara to have given in right at the start of the episode, but it was the other way around. Mostly because we got to see so much more of Supergirl’s visual take on Krypton which definitely has some similarities to Krypton in Man of Steel. I’m always a sucker for “What If” and “Dream” stories and this episode was no exception. While I am more familiar with Starro as opposed to the Black Mercy, it seems that they almost have similar powers so seeing this episode took me back to seeing Starro in the DC animated shows as a kid. After being possessed by the Black Mercy last week, this week’s Supergirl picks up right where we left off as Kara has to fight a parasitic alien that mentally traps her in a dream world.
