This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Supergirl_ season 4- episode 14 The story of this episode had some shoking points. All of the characters had some failures and victories.Ben Lockwood is a person who tries to pass his act. During the story, Ben deals with Epiphany when he suddenly understands he can't win against Alliens.Ben Lockwood is in conflict with two things: 1. against Manchester 2. against Alliens. Green Martian is influenced by Manchester. Finally, he succeeds to change Martian's behavior. This is the process that we can define as social psychology. It means that people are influenced by actions and etc. Kara is affected by this process,too. finally, Brainy's advise affects her and she decides to march with other alliens. we can consider the protest between alliens and humans as the climax of the episode.During the story,James Olsen is a kind of surreptitious character who shocks the audience. The end of the story is unhappy. We can describe the term suspense in this episode,too. Suspense is a process in English literature that provokes these questions:"why does this character do this thing?" or "what's going to happen next in the story?". So the question is that "why James is shot" or "what is going to happen after his death". The characters such as Haley do not have a lot of eminent traits to discuss in the story. So we can call these characters as a Flat character.… Expand

[6.5] Lacks sophistication and darkness

Supergirl is a good show... for teens.

As a fan, I won't be questioning the choice for the lead actress and the series cast. They do a pretty good job for a 'PG' show. What has been chosen and done is done. Point. What I am questioning and concerned about are the somehow weak and cheesy script, storylines and plots topped with kindergarten acting.

IMO, the series has so much more potential and could be boosted a lot more, if the writers sail it to more dark territories, adding real seriousness, more interesting and sophisticated storylines and turn of events.

e.g. The Supergirl arctic Krypton lair on Earth has to be well hidden, accessible only to the Kryptoneans and impossible to break through and enter, even if, in an improbable twist, some enemies make it there and to its entrance. The probability of getting in should be near-nil! For now, it's like a playground, two blocks away, where anyone who gets bored or has some devious plan make a visit to.

Dear writers, make the events more frightening and awe-inducing, make the battles more powerful, shocking and bloody and make the CGI more glossy, more realistic (all parts of it), tremoring viewers' guts so they couldn't detach their eyes from the screen.

All the actors can do a better job, give their best from within, convey more emotions and seriousness. I repeat, it is not some playground, in which, to interact artificially and happily with each other.

For whatever number of seasons and episodes which are left, please make some real changes for the better or forever have a place in the museum of 'Looney Tunes' characters.… Expand
