Agreed. I really didn't think they'd croak that character, but then,
they've been dead before. If it hadn't ended the way it did, it would
have mostly rated as 'boring' except for the Maze stuff.
I don't see how this season doesn't end with an all-out war (among

You didn't mention Alexa Doig.
Nor did you ask what I watched. :(
But Ob did earlier, so ...
Some trash gossip show called DAILY MAIL. Their first shocking
revelation was that Leonardo DeCrapio was caught - caught mind you -
giving his girlfriend a hug at the airport!!! Their second shocking
revelation was a Playboy Playmate's best friend revealing that the first
Playmate had had sex with Donald Trump, which they were both single and
dating! Gasp!! The second Playmate, the one telling the tale, looked
to be in her 80s and not holding up well. I checked and she's ... 51.
Madre de Dios!
STUPIDGIRL
OMG this was painful to watch. Written by Jessica Queller, who'd we'd
previously established as one of the show's very worst writers (and
that's saying something) from her previous atrocities on this show.
So, somehow Reign (or her Goddess) has arranged an unscheduled solar
eclipse. I'm not sure how she did this except by knocking the Moon out
of orbit, which should provide it's own set of problems. The last time
I saw this bit was the 1980 Flash Gordon, but there it was the planet
Mongo and it was being played for laughs. Anyway, somehow they've moved
the Moon millions of miles without anybody noticing, but it's going to
take a few hours to do the last 2000 miles (at which point they seem to
be assuming it will stop) to create a total eclipse over National City.
It turns out this is *bad* because Queller is so stupid she thinks
Supergirl is completely powerless under a total eclipse *and* it's just
like flicking off a light switch. So how come she has powers at night?
Or indoors!?!?!? And why don't they supercharge her with the DEO's
yellow sun tanning bed? Also, the total eclipse is also in place over
Reign's Fortress of Muditude, far away in a desert, and possibly not
even in our reality. Idiots.
Meanwhile we finally find out how Lena has been holding Reign in that
glass cage - she's invented Kryptonite. Well, gee, that's just swell,
but they'd already established Kryptonite doesn't WORK against Reign.
And how come it didn't deter either of the other WorldKillers for an
instant?
Anyway the girls go into some dream dimension and constantly tell each
other stuff they can't possibly know. Endlessly.
They manage to kill two of the three WorldKillers, irrevocably changing
the next thousand years (why does the Legion think this is a desirable
outcome? What makes them think they'll even still exist!?). But Reign
just gets their powers, and, now that she's like the most powerful being
imaginable, she only has to do one more thing, and that's kill her
daughter. Sigh.
I can't wait for the Legion arc to be over with so I can bail on this
horrid crapfest again.
