			<description><![CDATA[What I hate is bad storylines. The show should be ashamed of breaking off such a dumb storyline near the end of the show. If bad storylines you dont like then you should add kellys ridiculous, dull and boring story as very unnecessary and joke of a guardian she is. Now thats the saddest and weakest storyline to ever come about on SG. Its become a laughing stock turning into absurdity.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What I hate is bad storylines. Lena getting magic 10 episodes before the show is over is a bad storyline. Especially when it happens by "coincidence" rather than because it it logically follows from the plot. Lena's storylines have been getting worse and worse and dumber and dumber the longer the show went on ("I want to mind control the world but it's okay because I'm doing it to be nice!!", "I'm gonna spend a year torturing my supposed bad friend, but it's okay because I'm sad!"). Maybe a science character like Lena having to cope with magic would have been a semi decent storyline in season 4, but not 10 episodes before the show is ending. Lena already has a storyline: bringing down Lex. Lena actually has a secondary storyline, fitting into the team and regaining Kara's trust. And now she gets a third storyline about learning magic 10 episodes before the show is ending? I'm sorry, that is what just what makes her a crappy overexposed character. What does she need three storylines for when other characters get bashed for having one storyline? How about they actually focused on doing the storylines she already has well rather than bringing up this ridiculous stuff? I'm sorry, she's just a badly written and forced character at this point. The show should be ashamed of breaking off such a dumb storyline near the end of the show. This was entirely unneeded and at the very least should have been tied more organically into the main plot of the show. This is just bad writing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Absolutely correct. It should be so Good! Lena is so enchanting, brilliant and charismatic. Hopefully it will only focus on her, Kara, Supergirl, Nyxly and less everyone else since she hasnt been in the last two. She should be getting more screen time, period.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have to laugh at your outrage with giving Lena magical powers. With all the nonsense that we had to endure these last 3 seasons this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for you. There is more excitement from watching the Mick strike out swinging then seeing Kelly doing the guardian thing. Exactly right. Kelly as guardian is a joke after James gave it to her after leaving, Its such a boring storyline with kelly, who isnt interesting in the least. So happy to see Lena back and finding out what is in store for her. Excited about tomorrow's episode. Going to be so great to see Supergirl battle Nyxly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That does make sense but to all those who are grumbling about this move I think it'll make sense if whatever Lena's getting was connected to something ancient and dug up from the ground and who better to do that then the second Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark. Im not sure when I'll ever get around to finishing my fanfiction story but when I saw Lena's part in the Blind Spots Synopsis i was seriously considering having Cassie help Lena in trying to find closure with the lattters mom(fitting since Cassie resents her biological father Lennox for abandoning the family when she was 4). I can now go ahead with that particular storyline so thank you Supergirl for giving me liscense to do that because of this week's plot!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree that the summary does use the word "gift" which is usually given to someone who others consider have done over and above what they've been asked to do. Also it could be someone who feels that in spite of Lena's family she has finally chosen the correct path to be on (helping SuperGirl and the people SuperGirl and her team protect), thus deserving of a gift. Last but not least, it could be something her mother left her that is finally being given to her - which means it could be something as simplistic as a necklace. Although it would not bother me if it was a power, I also realize that if it is a gift it may simply mean that someone is appreciative of something she has done or a dying mother showing her love for her daughter by leaving her a gift (like SuperGirl's mother gave her - a necklace).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You’re right of course we don’t know what this “gift” is. I’ll say it again if in some people’s worst case Lena’s “gift” is magical that fits with having a magic villain. Let’s seek how this plays out before assuming things. I hope Nyxly sticks around too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Going with the assumption that Lena’s “gift” is magical then I think I know why this choice was made. As Nyxly said only magic can fight magic. Magic is one of Kryptonians known weaknesses right up there with Kryptonite. We saw Nyxly take away Kara’s powers last episode. Mxy at his worst in season two never did that, he never got to the if I can’t her then nobody can stage. Kara used her brain to trick him and that should absolutely be tried on her I just don’t see it working. Kara’s going to need magic on her side to defeat Nyxly. That doesn’t mean that Lena takes Nyxly down on her own perhaps just makes it a more fair fight. Like it or not if what I’m speculating is true then it’s not a random excuse to prop up Lena but part of the story. Having Lena get some sort of magic in the finale season also means it doesn’t have to be addressed longer term. Plus for all we know the “gift” is limited and Lena uses it all up to help defeat Nyxly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Wow - SuperGirl going up against Nyxly - this episode sounds fantastic - I can't wait until it shows on TV. I agree with you comic fan about the totem and its possible association with Kara's PTSD of the PZ. I think that the totem will either "make or break" the girl of steel's fear of the PZ. This is what viewers asked for a long time ago -some episodes which are at least free from politics and are just comprised of SuperGirl and her team going up against villains. In re-reading the summary it does mention "gift" and not power. So I am very curious to see what the "gift" is - if it is a power for Lena I hope it is one that complements her science background - if it really is just a gift then I hope it is one that helps her continue to be on the team. I like Lena and I like her friendship with Kara. Do I like how she turned on SuperGirl? - heck no. Did she take up alot of time in an earlier season ? - yes but no one took up more time than Lex Lurthor. In my opinion Lena has a mystical look about her and magical powers for me are easier to believe with Lena. Plus, Lena has been a part of the show since season 2 and she has proven herself this season several times and she has plenty of time since Lex took over the company. I like the fact that Alex and Kelly do not have powers but are strong, courageous and kick butt ready. Those two show that you don't need to have powers to be strong - to be a hero. I wonder if in the future J'onn will give Kelly a weapon like he gave Alex the bracelet on her arm that turns into any weapon she needs. Maybe there is a way that J'onn could "enhance" Kelly's guardian shield. I really do not mind any of the team having powers as long as they do not duplicate or are more powerful then the powers of the Girl of Steel who should be the strongest and the one who saves the Day.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have said it before and I say it again, giving Lena magic powers that late in the game is the dumbest idea ever. We just had a scene where Nia compliments Lena on being able to make suns and now she has magic powers on top of that? LOL, people rant about Nia's powerset increasing, but how is that not even worse with Lena? I thought the show was already cringe when Lena could just command the Legion ship in battle without training in season 3, but now she gets magic powers in addition to apparently immeasurable science powers? Just be coincidence? Sorry that is just bad writing. This story would be about a million times better if you had Alex and Lena researching magic after Nyxly enters the scene and that accidentally gives one of them powers. It being just an unrelated thing is just cringe level writing. I have a genuinely hard time deciding what would be worse, Lena of course being instantly able to use her powers just like she just instantly knew to fly the Legion ship (Mary Sue, cough) or her getting an entire story dedicated to learning about her powers when we already have a story going on about Kelly coming into her powers as a hero. Give me Kelly and her human power of empathy over embarassing magic mumbo jumbo any way.]]></description>

Any other gift would be a bonus. I hope not to see much of Kelly, Nia, Alex, Brainy and Jo'nn in this episode. Give me Supergirl, Nyxly and Lena. :P]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't typically comment on these because they are intentionally vague, which is a hook and completely understandable. But a contest between Supergirl and Nyxly for a magical totem really caught my interest. This episode has great potential and I hope it delivers. As for Lena, a "gift" could literally be anything.]]></description>
