While I find Supergirl unbearably preachy the last two episodes were very good. I was pleasantly surprised.

Season 3 Episode 18 - "Shelter from the Storm" - May 14, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Supergirl_episodes#Season_3_(2017–18)Season 3 had a long winter/spring hiatus where The CW aired a 10 episode season of Legends of Tomorrow. The big bad for the season has been Reign, and many of the episodes where spent in discovering a part of Kryptionian history. I did feel the story was dragging a bit and was surprised and pleased that in the previous episode the it looked as if the three WorldKillers were eliminated or at least three of them instead of waiting for the big epic battle that traditionally is the finale episode of the season. But then it makes you wonder what will happen in the next 6 episodes. I am liking James and Lena's relationship and that you see a lot of intimacy built on trust, there is a real connection there and depth to the relationship you never saw between James and Kara. In fact James was always too old and worldly for Kara. Kara despite her powers is still a naive, little girl, girl and I feel her maturity level is very junior high and some of her scenes are cringe worthy because of that. Rudy, stupid teens deserve to be killed off, unfortunately that did not happen. Liked that Mon-El stayed behind, this will be interesting as he has grown up but does that mean he and Kara should become a couple again?

Season 3 Episode 19 - "The Fanatical" - May 21, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Supergirl_episodes#Season_3_(2017–18)Like they are bringing back the cult of Krypton that Colville started, but his followers are kinda nuts. Again nice to see James and Guardian highlighted this episode but I do think the writers are heavy handed in the way they present their message that people are still judged based on their skin color in this case Gaurdian being presumed to be the bad guy because he is black. However, the scenes between James and Lena are still strong and they make a powerful couple. Luv'ed that Lena is dissing Supergirl to Kara, it's too funny and I am so glad that makes Kara uncomfortable as Lena does accurately get her for every highhanded decision Supergirl has made and calls her out on her hypocrisy.

Season 3 Episode 21 - "Not Kansas" - June 4, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Supergirl_episodes#Season_3_(2017–18)While it is always nice to go down memory lane I simply do not understand why Supergirl did not bring several tons of supplies with her to Argo City from Earth, that simply didn't make any sense. That and flying in a space ship and why all of a sudden does Supergirl lose her powers while in Argo City and I assume Mon El retains his? This episode is a set up for the finale as well as a shout out to gun control.

Season 3 Episode 22 - "Make it Reign" - June 11, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Supergirl_episodes#Season_3_(2017–18)Dang it, I wish they hadn't killed Colville, I liked him as a character. Demos, the Asian dude that Win gave the force field too, also was killed. What is funny is that Demos (spelled Deimos) is the name of one of the moons of Mars. Nice to see Alura on Earth. Luv seeing J'onn and his father do the memory transfer. PS: Close Caption says the high priestess's name is Serena not Selena.

Season 3 Episode 23 - "Battles Lost and Won" - June 18, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Supergirl_episodes#Season_3_(2017–18)I hate the preachy "I don't kill", how does that work out when Reign ends up killing Mon-El, and it looked like Alura. This is one of the more juvenile PC oriented superhero shows and it can really wear on adult nerves. The let's go back in time to change the outcome of the fight but has side effects is a very old plot device. I was surprised to see the plot twist of sending Win to the future. I hate how they had super fast Martian Alzheimer effect J'onzz dad My'rnn. The speed of it seemed a cop out. Is J'onzz really gone from the show? Also amazing that J'onzz had that much power to appoint Alex as the next Director of this black ops government agency. Like that does not upset the chain of command with in the agency.

Supergirl has been renewed for a Season 4.
Mon- El will not be back, his character was only supposed to be around for 2 seasons.
Win will be a recurring character for season 4.
Brainy will a series regular.

Just as a side bar in Supergirl + Legion of Superheroes early lore Supergirl and Brainy were a couple.

Season 4 Episode 1 - "American Alien" - October 14, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergirl_(season_4)New season, new problems. The overall feel was good, an improvement of last season. More purpose to everyone. The new "Big Bad" is the racism against aliens. Gosh, humans are so so so .... but the story does reflect what is happening in real life. The only thing that annoys is Supergirl's being preachy and morally outraged because J'onn won't fight with her. Control freak much?

Sam Witwer plays Agent Liberty and it is great to see a really good actor showcased on this series. Episode 3 is outstanding.

per wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergirl_(season_4)Binge watching this show lets me fast forward thru some parts but still get the gist of the story. The alien illegals is very runs parallel to much that is happening in this country.
