Supergirl Season 6 Episode four Evaluate: Misplaced Souls

Spoilers

One other episode, one other missed alternative to avoid wasting Kara in each worlds.

The Tremendous Mates’ Phantom drawback grew to date uncontrolled on Supergirl Season 6 Episode 4 that they wanted to focus all of their efforts on stopping it. And a betrayal within the Phantom Zone result in Kara destroying her solely means residence.

The hour was largely filler, which is a bit disappointing for a last season. Nevertheless, it was nonetheless extra intriguing than previous episodes because it had nice motion and well-crafted character moments.

Plus, it was the primary time Lex Luthor wasn’t featured, which is all the time a win in my e book.

The Phantom Zone actually hasn’t been paid its dues on Supergirl Season 6, till “Misplaced Souls.”

The season’s story, to date, has largely taken place in Nationwide Metropolis with the Tremendous Mates attempting to avoid wasting Kara from their finish.

We have seen Kara meet her father, however they’ve had too little screentime collectively to make us care about their relationship or Zor-El as a personality.

We’re extra taken with Nyxly and her relationship with Kara than the one between a father and daughter, which is wild, to say the least.

All of for this reason we’re okay with Kara being trapped within the Phantom Zone slightly longer.

The storyline that Supergirl Season 6 Episode 1 launched must be justified, and it would not have felt proper if Kara returned to Earth so simply.

She has some unfinished enterprise within the Zone. Assuming he’s nonetheless alive, there may be nonetheless rigidity between her and Zor-El. They should focus on their various views on hope and giving up.

As a father and daughter, they’ve a bond proper out of the gate. However the present hasn’t constructed upon that any additional apart from a bunch of exposition.

And if Nyxly survived the explosion as nicely, Kara wants to organize herself for a struggle. However that will not be simple given her weakened state.

Supergirl hasn’t come near banking on the potential of the Phantom Zone storyline, however they nonetheless have the time and bandwidth to take action.

Nyxly’s flip to the darkish facet, if we are able to even name it that, wasn’t all that shocking as a result of the present did a great job of constructing to it.

They planted seeds of doubt relating to her character, and when it was time for them to flee to Earth, she confirmed her true colours.

It is tough to name her a villain simply but as a result of her causes behind wanting revenge are comprehensible. Nyxly has been wronged by the lads in her life, and it is simple to see why she’s untrustworthy of fathers.

However she is pushed by revenge, which is normally the primary ingredient to creating a terrific villain. If Nyxly is alive, which we actually consider she is, Kara will certainly have her fingers full.

Over in Nationwide Metropolis, the Tremendous Mates had a significant Phantom drawback that was spreading.

However with a brand new addition to the group and some heartbreakingly tough choices, they have been in a position to catch the unique Phantom who escaped on Supergirl Season 6 Episode 2.

This story had been relatively uninteresting up till now, and that is as a result of the stakes have been lastly raised.

There have been loads of scientific phrases tossed round that, frankly, went over our heads. However the sentiment was all the identical. Alex had to decide on between saving the town and saving her sister.

There was loads of dialogue over learn how to go on and make choices with Kara gone, however there was by no means any motion behind these phrases till Alex took Lena’s gadget.

Alex has struggled with Kara’s absence, as one would anticipate. Not that there was any doubt, however this separation strengthened the energy of their relationship.

Alex and Kara are one another’s particular person, which is what made Alex’s selection to seek out Prime Phantom’s lair over discovering her sister that rather more heartbreaking.

It was the precise name, after all, nevertheless it nonetheless harm all the identical.

Alex’s determination additionally confirmed how far she has come as a hero. Kara has taught her a lot, and vice versa, and there is not any doubt that Alex will discover one other option to save her sister.

Lena, however, is new to the superhero enterprise, so she wasn’t able to let go of her one likelihood of getting Kara again.

It was a mix of lacking Kara, being new to a group setting, and Lena’s lack of ability to forgive herself. She blames herself for Kara ending up within the Phantom Zone, though it was her loopy brother who put her there.

It is comprehensible, although, as a result of Lena appears like she has lots to make up for after her actions on Supergirl Season 5.

Whereas she disagreed with Alex throughout their scene collectively, deep down she understood why Alex selected to avoid wasting the various over her sister’s life.

Possibly Lena will get to a spot the place she will be able to make the choice that Alex made sometime. She simply must spend extra time with the group. In any case, none of them grew to become superheroes in a single day and they’re all consistently studying from each other.

Lastly, Dreamer obtained some much-needed appreciation from Supergirl!

Nia Nal and her extraordinarily cool powers have been severely underused, however this hour sprinkled in clues that may arrange a significant outing for her on Supergirl Season 5 Episode 5.

Unusually, Nia was having goals of Kara and Alex as teenagers in Midvale.

The goals seemingly had nothing to do with their current disaster, however we later came upon that they have been telling Nia how they wanted to avoid wasting Kara. It is time for a blast to the previous, women and gents.

What did you suppose, Supergirl Fanatics?

Would you like extra from the Phantom Zone storyline? Are you content that Lena is lastly getting a way of belonging with the Tremendous Mates? How refreshing was it to have an episode with out Lex for the primary time in what appears like eternally?
