SuperTalk 2x15 - Exodus
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 15, “Exodus”, aired March 6, 2017
AUGH!!
There is so much potential in this show, and it just continues to disappoint.
This week we’re still on the Cadmus storyline that should have been running throughout the entire season. Bottom line, Cadmus is literally rounding up all the aliens to do something with them, possibly kill them.
As a theme, especially considering the current actions of the Trump administration, Supergirl is on point, but in execution, it’s a total disaster.
If a terrorist organization were running around kidnapping dozens (hundreds?) of legal citizens, not only would the police be up in arms, but the news outlets would be having a field day with the reporting.
Instead, NOBODY but the DEO is doing anything about it, and the whole plan to try to warn the aliens is that Kara is going to “convince” Snapper to run a front page article about kidnappings.
And that’s just the setup of the episode. Of course we’ve got the Super Problem, Alex going rogue on the DEO. Her and Lena Luthor (separately) doing the only good investigative work at all, and Kara writing a blog.
A BLOG! As if you can just pop something on the internet and suddenly your PewDiePie.
Best part of the episode is Kara getting fired and Lyra and Wynn.
