Reign

For a supergirl, she sure keeps getting beat up a lot.

By the way, did anyone see the fallacy in this episode? If supergirl and reign are both from Krypton, and supposedly have equal super powers from our yellow sun, then the best that should happen in a fight is a tie. But nope, supergirl gets beat up and bloody, which is another fallacy isn't it? If nothing can pierce her skin she shouldn't be getting cuts and bruises and bleed.

One of the not so great episodes in season 3 so far. The whole Samantha starting out on the show as a nice person then eventually turning into a villain for Supergirl has been recycled and re-used in past seasons of this show. Supergirl needs some new ideas in there episodes. Cause it becomes stale and boring to watch an idea get reused too much times.

This is the best hit yet in the show The length of the fight was acceptable

and finally...

Now she has an equal enemy

She deserves it for not accepting her new enemy's resistance on earth

Actually, that is the idea that a lot of fans waited for But, another thing is that this enemy should remain in the show till the final season's finale I mean if the creators are clever enough to do this

10/10

Putting aside last week's crossover episode of Supergirl, 'Reign' is 100% the best episode of Supergirl, and it's not even close. I've been critical of this show for many reasons, but one of the main ones being that it always feels very safe and lacks legitimate consequence. In large part, that's because the villains of each season have been lackluster to say the least. Well, that changed tonight as Reign officially made her debut and put more than just a stamp on National City.

This is the type of episode that happens when the show takes its time with its villain and doesn't force conflict. Odette Annable has already established herself as a worthy character on this show, but her arc into becoming the worldkiller Reign is truly taking shape nicely. Whether or not she even realizes what she is doing is yet to be determined but just from a pure physical standpoint, there hasn't been someone to even come close to matching Kara (at least as far as I can remember). The fight her and Kara had wasn't on the same level as Zod and Superman's in Man of Steel, but it certainly echoed it in a good way. Seeing Kara bleed is a powerful sight in and of itself.

I won't even pretend to know or understand Reign's full backstory yet, but I definitely like the idea of her presence being a prophecy and almost unavoidable. It certainly brings a different level of weight to this season, something which is greatly needed. This angle also gave us the return of Chad Rowe as Thomas Coville, who pleaded with Supergirl to take on 'the devil' known as worldkiller aka Reign. Coville's episode earlier this season was one of the best episodes of the entire series, so I welcome his return.

It's worth mentioning this episode followed in the long line of CW Arrowverse shows having a holiday themed mid-season finale, this time it seemed to bring James and Lena together romantically, something pretty much everyone expected. Other than that, the holidays only brought bad things upon National City, with Reign murdering people without any regard for human life. And although she made a great first impression, it's hard not to think of Peter Parker's emo Spider- Man moments in Spider-Man 3. Not in tone per-say, but just the fact that there is almost an unawareness to everything that is going on. The other vibe I got from the final moments was Arrow mid-season 3 finale when Ras pushed Oliver off the cliff. Anybody else feel that way?

9.0/10

Romantic drama aside which were unnecessary, this episode was close to being perfect and this is what the writers need to do. Focus on the actual story or at least focus on something that is pointing towards the story.

As a fan of superheroes, I really hate to see filler scenes and of course filler episodes, though there were scenes that were not required in this episode, the rest of this episode was very engaging. And I really liked that they allowed the main character to take a beating. The fight was well shot.

Though there's no idea of what the story of rest of the season is going to be, this show will not lose its viewers if there are lot more episodes like this in future.
