Supergirl, 2.02 - "The Last Children of Krypton"

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED.

As I am a junior in high school, I often get behind with my fall shows. Instead of working on my English paper, I decided to catch up on this week's episode of Supergirl instead.

Ah, Supergirl. Since this is my first review and you guys don't know me personally, I'll just say that my relationship with this show is complicated. Some basics: I started watching for the female lead and stayed for her sister, her love interest and said love interest's love interest. Being the emotional multishipper I am, I ship Kara, James AND Lucy. Together. But when it was clear James and Lucy were over, I happily settled with Kara and James. I adored their chemistry and the fact that the black man could get the girl was so important to me. (My bio in the sidebar kinda implied that representation is a major factor in what I watch. Don't like it? You still have a chance to leave.) Unfortunately, as you can tell with the use of the past tense, they broke up - before they even had a chance to start. This complete 180 in a timespan of less than 24 hours (between the season 1 finale and season 2 premiere) is something I will be forever bitter about. F*ck you, Supergirl writers. F*ck you.
