Well, the new year didn't exactly get off to a great start for Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) as she was unable to stop the Graves' attack on President Marsdin (Lynda Carter), which revealed Marsdin's deep dark secret to the entire world - that she's an alien. 

Next week, the Girl of Steel will have to deal with tonight's fallout while also doing her best to track down Mercy Graves (Rhona Mitra), who is still very much at-large. Meanwhile, in her human life, Kara will seek out an interview with Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) in order to learn as much as she can about her brother's former number two. 


"Fallout" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, V) (HDTV)

CHAOS IN NATIONAL CITY - A shocking revelation causes chaos in National City. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) sets out to capture Mercy Graves (guest star Rhona Mitra), while Alex (Chyler Leigh) takes control at the DEO. Back at CatCo, Kara decides to write an investigative story on Mercy and asks Lena (Katie McGrath) if she can interview her as Mercy has ties to the Luthors. Meanwhile, Brainy (Jesse Rath) meets Nia (Nicole Maines) and the two end up in a precarious situation. Harry Jierjian directed the episode with story by Dana Horgan and teleplay by Maria Maggenti & Daniel Beaty (#402). Original airdate 10/21/2018


Season three saw Supergirl stop Reign and the other Worldkillers’ threat to humanity and our planet, and in the process, Kara was shocked to find her mother Alura alive and living in a salvaged Argo City that survived the destruction of Krypton. Reconnecting with her past caused Kara to realize that her true home is now here on Earth, where big changes are taking place for her and all of her friends in National City – and also, it appears, for a doppelganger in Russia! Season four promises to be full of surprises, action, adventure and lots of big revelations for Supergirl, Alex, James, J’onn, Lena and Brainy.

Supergirl features:
Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl
Mehcad Brooks as James 'Jimmy' Olsen/Guardian
Chyler Leigh as Alexandra 'Alex' Danvers
Jeremy Jordan as Winslow 'Winn' Schott
David Harewood as J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter

Premiere was good and the opening with Kara multitasking around the Earth was great. I hope Clark brings some souvenirs from Argo.

New aditions to the show like Brainiac 5 and Nia have chemistry with the rest of the cast although they're right now still only interacting in their own workplaces.

Brainy has good and funny banter with Alex, it isn't easy to fit in when you've been living in a more advanced time. Thought the "long live the Legion" fly take off was hilarious but useful in t ehend. I like how he just gestures his hand together to multitask-hack. Him trying to further fit in literally as Winn was funny. Dude's got to be him first. Just hope that they let him go out more, he's a teeny tiny more capable than Winn on the field. (But he's stil my fave)

I thought Nia was going for "identity" in her speech about why she wanted to write about fashion first. I wanna see how her powers will trigger.

A small shoutout to Sam and Ruby being happy in Northwest L-Corp.

Jimmy won't exactly like what Lena did to get him out of the indictment, but hopefully he sees she just wanted to keep him safe. Better pulling the strings for him than for anyone else. Lillian's acting a little similar to how Lionel Luthor did in the fourth Season of Smallville too.

A Bruno Mannheim namedrop too.

Lena's image inducer looked a lot like Brainiac 5's, if only that was what she's been working on.

The part about the Sons of Libery's hate-web was creepy, enough to creep Kara out. I just hope J'onn realizes he needs to step back in when words no longer are able to work.

Mercy fooled me for a second thinking she was really going to off her own brother, but knowing how things work it must be part of a larger plan and Otis will wreck up the DEO from inside. Maybe.

Sam Witwer's voice is as always intimidating.

Ending was the coolest though, Soviet Supergirl being the reason why there was an earthquake underground in Kaznia. Pretty intense trailer. I'd be cool if there was a purpose of why she was punching what seemed to be a tunnel underground.

@NinnesMBC - I came here to this article after finishing the episode specifically hoping someone posted these gifs, and you did not disappoint.

Carpal tunnel, here I come.

And also, Jeremy Jordan still supports the show despite not being in it.

I really can't wait for him to return, eventually and someday.

Aside from a few very vocal people who dont enjoy this show, which is fair and it doesn't bother me too much that they show up to every Supergirl article to say the same things over and over, this show still continues to be enjoyable to me and I'm glad to see others vibing with it too. This is the one program that does shine a spotlight on morals and hope and advocacy for positive change in the world. Yes sometimes the writing is cheese and the metaphoric themes are a bit heavy handed, I wouldn't have it any other way. Supergirl is a show which regularly gives me a good feeling after watching, like I genuinely saw a hero. Out of the entire roster of CW heroes, Kara Danvers is hands down the best role model character on TV. It gives me the same good feeling I had growing up reading Superman comics and watching the Christopher Reeve movies. We need Supergirl these days, now more than ever. This was a great start to the season. Looking forward to seeing how everything unfolds.

@ArthurFleck - So, is Supergirl flying the flag of identity politics again in S4E1? Because Chris Reeve's Superman never did so.
ArthurFleck
ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 9:13 AM
@GeneralZod - no he didnt. But he did vocally fight for controversial issues relevant to that time period 40 years ago. If you dont think Superman would or should represent the issues touched upon in passing on Supergirl, you dont much get the character. Give me a specific example of an issue Supergirl has referenced or openly addressed and I guarantee Superman would agree, even the Christopher Reeve version. But your type blow the minor nods to relevant social or political issues way out of proportion and like to pretend entire episodes are undercover propaganda pieces, but thats a major exaggeration. But if passing mentions of social commentary decimates the very foundation upon which you can enjoy a television program about a superhero, dont read the comics because social commentary has been a staple in comic books... well... since the first superhero was created as an allegory for an immigrants story.

@ArthurFleck - Social commentary is fine. The problem is with nuance. It's boring and preachy when all the protagonists share the exact same philosophy. It's ok to have characters that are philosophically flawed, yet still heroic. Winn is supposed to become the villain Toyman eventually, so why can't he have a bias or two? Why can't Jimmy be the naïve dummy that he's been for 80 years? It's like every single cast member is on the hipster train to Coolsville. They need to stop the train and kick a few off for the sake of realism and better drama.

ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 10:58 AM
@rabid - I dont disagree with your points. I'm not saying Supergirl is gonna win any awards for its writing, but what a lot of people overlook, be it willingly or not, is that the CW shows are being compared to other shows it isn't trying to be. It is a show that has a wide demographic, many of which are children and young teens. It's not a sophisticated examination of superheroes like Watchmen or complex and visceral action dramas like Daredevil. Its demographic is from young kids all the way up, so its written appropriately. Its easily digestible nuggets of entertainment with some loftier themes like social commentary peppered in, but presented in a way that won't alienate the younger viewers. That's why they have achieved the most success by blending tones of camp, drama and action. They try to appeal to a wide audience and naturally that happens to alienate a certain group of people that prefer the tone be more suited to what they specifically desire. I get that and it doesn't make you wrong for wanting it your way or being frustrated when time and time again it's not.

I take absolutely no issue with people not liking Supergirl or the CW DC shows for those reasons. My issue is when people like GeneralZod above and other people continually pop up when new potential fans ask if it's any good, and they try to spin it that Supergirl is this abrasive social justice propaganda spewing disaster that forces it's new age agenda down its viewers throats and blah blah blah... that's what I take issue with. Yes it will momentarily make mention of a situation which can parallel societal issues at the forefront of our culture, but its usually in passing before continuing on with the story. And further more comics and cartoons have had lessons of the day and social commentary since always so to crucify Supergirl for it is laughably absurd.

GeneralZod - 10/15/2018, 11:08 AM
@ArthurFleck - Thank you for confirming that Reeve's Superman never flew the flag of identity politics. Nor should his character do so today.

Yet nor do I think Superman today should refrain from addressing political issues, as long as he does so in an even-handed and circumspect manner that takes ALL views into consideration, without imposing his judgment or will on any person or groups of persons. That is what truth, justice and the American Way was -- was -- all about, once upon a time. Unfortunately, both political sides today no longer understand what that means. There is a scene in the otherwise terrible film BvS where Zack Snyder actually gets it correct, at least in part, when he has Cavill's Superman literally walking up the steps of the U.S. Senate and walking into the hearing chamber, humbly, almost Jesus-like. There is a mob of protestors on both sides of the "alien" issue outside, throwing out their respective vitriol, yet Superman doesn't take a position. He just listens. Never judges. Never takes a side. What Superman does is he leads by example. His deeds -- miracles -- inspire others to do good and moderate their views, whatever the issue is.

And please don't suggest that I don't much get the character if I don't subscribe to your view of how Superman/Supergirl should view social issues today.

@GeneralZod - yet Reeves stormed the UN, declared he was ridding the world of nuclear weapons and went world wide removing every nuke by force and hurling it into the sun. That's Reeves Superman. So are you just gonna cherry pick?

I'm not gonna get into this because we both know your original post was just bait and I bit. But I've got no interest in getting into this debate over how exactly you prefer Supergirls flavor of social commentary be delivered.
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 10/15/2018, 11:23 AM
@ArthurFleck - "My issue is when people like GeneralZod above and other people continually pop up when new potential fans ask if it's any good, and they try to spin it that Supergirl is this abrasive social justice propaganda spewing disaster that forces it's new age agenda down its viewers throats and blah blah blah... that's what I take issue with."

No, your issue is when someone has an opinion that differs from yours, because only your opinion is right.
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 10/15/2018, 11:30 AM
@ArthurFleck - In Superman The Quest for Peace, denuclearization (an issue very much on the table today, see NoKo) is an issue that both sides of the political spectrum agreed upon 30+ years ago and agree upon today. Very different from pushing a leftist -- or even a rightist -- political agenda into a movie (or TV series).
ArthurFleck
ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 11:31 AM
@GeneralZod - I have stated my issue. Dont project your opinions onto me. I've stated myself and yet again you cowardly attempt to twist my words to supplement your agenda. Even in my original post I said nothing about Superman supporting identity politics yet you attempted to twist my reply to that when I agreed he didnt to further your own agenda. You debate like a beginner, that isnt how discussions work. So before you further attempt to provoke me and twist anything else I say, I'm going to go. This argument is utterly pointless and...

@ArthurFleck - I do often find it to be abrasive social justice mindwash, and I wouldn't have a huge problem with that if it's target audience was older. But aiming that stuff at kids and impressionable minds is more than a little distasteful. That's what gets it labeled propaganda.
ArthurFleck
ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 11:45 AM
@rabid - what exactly? Give examples?
ArthurFleck
ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 11:50 AM
@rabid - by social justice are you referring to having openly gay characters who act like normal gay people who have relationships in screen, or the prejudice towards aliens thematically mirroring racial tensions in our own society and sending a positive message of inclusion and acceptance, or showcasing strong female characters that embrace their womanhood and draw strength from it.... are those the social justice commentaries you find distasteful?
ArthurFleck
ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 11:52 AM
@rabid - do you find the social commentary in Black Lightning and Luck Cage that address racial issues and police brutality and the black community being held down by structures of power... do you find those social commentaries equally distasteful?
ArthurFleck
ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 11:59 AM
@rabid - should art always be impartial and non bias? Should story tellers never address social issues in their work? People who agree with the message see it as a positive message while those who appose label it propaganda. Should the message be the opposite and send a message that discrimination is acceptable, peoples sexual orientations shouldn't be displayed as normal part of life and should be looked down upon, and that the blacks have it coming and that's why police should shoot them at an alarming rate? The polar opposite of the themes in Supergirl dont feel very heroic, but if that's the Supergirl you prefer... idk what to tell you. I think artists have every right to inject themselves and their beliefs into their work.

ArthurFleck - 10/15/2018, 12:01 PM
@rabid - but if there is other abrasive social justice mindwash you are referring to, please enlighten me.
