			<description><![CDATA[Had a lot of fun watching this one. A giant kitty chasing heat vision was the scene I didn't know I needed. I hope we really haven't heard the last of Mxy. :sad: I could do without the witchcraft storyline for Lena. Having a brilliant scientific mind just wasn't enough, it seems.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, Kara's hope speeches do not always work and Nyxly made it look like it was working and then just when it looked like it worked, Nyxly let SuperGirl know it did not (I think the actress that plays Nyxly is fantastic - her facial expressions are some of the best I've seen on the show). I think season one when she was just starting out is where her speeches really did not work too well (Reactron, Astra, Toyman, LiveWire, I was thinking Vartox (but she never tried to convince him of being better). So as seasons progressed she did get more people to listen to her but again not all of them complied.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I didn’t see it as Kara getting behind Alex but Alex moving in front of her sister. Alex was going to take that “bullet” for Kara. I’m betting Chyler and Melissa needed no direction on that. It kinda reminded me of when Kara and Kate went to Wayne manor in CoIE, first bullet proof Kara stepped in front of Kate when Luke had a gun pointed at them then Kate stepped in front of Kara when Bruce had Kryptonite. They might need that PZ projector, as Mxy correctly pointed out it is an option for dealing with Nyxly. He just shouldn’t have been pointing it around casually like that. I definitely agree with you - it also reminded me of the episode "The Martian Chronicles - (best known as the Alex missed Kara's birthday episode) when the White Martian was trying to kill M'gann and the DEO had gathered around the table and one of the agents thought Vasquez was a white martian and pointed his gun at her - then he thought Alex was a white martian and pointed his gun at her and SuperGirl jumped in front of Alex and told the agent with the gun "now you really better put that away." I love the protectiveness that the sisters have for each other.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To me the biggest problem of this episode was when Kara pointed out that Nyxly hasn't killed so far in combination with them bringing up the totems, that sucked any tension out of Nyxly as a villain. Nyxly so far has been a pretty good and mysterious villain and when she threatened Kara at the end of the previous episode after successfully having fooled Nia that was pretty interesting moment. To have a villain with all kinds of unlimited magic powers and with a grudge against Supergirl, what would she do? By unveiling that totem story, that basically tells the audience what will happen in the next few episodes and communicates that probably nothing interesting will happen on the villain front till the totems have been collected. So you might as well skip those parts. I think season 3 is the only season that made the hunt for different parts interesting because there the "parts" were people in their own right, who could be good or evil in their own right and the question loomed what Team Supergirl should do with them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nice episode. Thomas Lennon was brilliant; he will be missed. I enjoyed his evident frustration at having no non-magical way he could help the team. "Have you tried turning it on, then off, then on again?" Duh! Is there anyone who hasn't heard that from a Help line? Plus his hair was hysterical. The giant cat was inspired, and the best part was SG teasing it with a laser! Nia confessing to Kara and being forgiven was a perfect scene that encapsulates much of what this show is about at its core. Well, Lena certainly got some answers about her mother! I am happy that they included that missing piece of her story. About her using these powers, I will wait and see. Yes, it could merit an eyeroll, but it could also become useful in subduing Nyxly and also Lex, who we know will show his face again. So I'm not going to jump to any conclusions, and will judge it after it plays out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So yep Lena’s going to help defeat Nyxly with magic. IMO it’s a thought out move by TPTB, they knew it was the last season when they did this meaning they won’t have to deal with any of the consequences. I put Katie at the bottom of the list of Supergirl cast that would appear on another show, Lena Luthor as a character in the Arrowverse will end with this show. Basically they’re a comic book show embracing the absurd when they know they won’t have to address the choice later and I’m here for it. Katie McGrath fans will love seeing her go Morgana Pendragon. Kara tried to hope speech her and Nyxly said nope. That rarely happens to Kara. Let me think it didn’t work on pestilence but she wasn’t a big bad. We don’t know if Astra would’ve come around but Alex had to kill her, and she never tried to reason with Non. I’m not sure if Rhea got a full on hope speech. Kara certainly hasn’t tried to reason with Lex. Nyxly might be the best villain the show has ever had. I appreciate that they didn’t drag out the Nia doesn’t want to admit to Kara that she freed Nyxly thing. I would like to thank whoever thought of the giant cat and laser eyes thing, that had me laughing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good Arrowverse double header. Stargirl delivered its best episode with a choreographed fight scene that rivaled any in Arrowverse history and Supergirl gave us an imp fueled satisying hour that kicked off with an amusing Myxy-in-the-musical number. I did feel we were missing a page from the latest Supergirl comic book. One scene we have Supergirl taking flight (cool phased imagery by the way) to retrieve the amulet from some warlord's cave, next scene Alex is trying to remove the retrieved amulet stone from its casing and apparently Supergirl is now at the Fortress of Solitude (offscreen)... wha? I'd really like that missing page back to see what happened inbetween. Only magic can beat magic, so will Lena's apparent witch-y gift be a secret weapon against Nyxly? Next up, the totem search begins.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lazy writing? Maybe but I'm going to cut the writers some slack because I didnt see the episode for myself to judge(Mets game preempted it) and at the same time it was a breaking the 4th wall moment for the show because Katie Mcgrath played Morgana in Merlin. THAT BEING SAID it would make more sense if Lenas witchy ancestor was the student of a famous witch and in my adaptation of this episode(whenever I get around to writing my fanfiction story) I'd write that her ancestor was the prized pupil of Fortune Teller Baba back when she was the professor of Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. THAT in my view would make more sense then Lena stumbling on the powers randomely]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The episode left me with a question about the thought processes of the writers Interesting Points 1. Finding out Nxyly can really hold a grudge - she has had a hate for Mxy for 300 years. However Nxyly's reason is that people betray her - oddest thing she is right but she never looks at what she's done to cause the betrayal. 2. Nxyly has a way to transform Kryptonian power into 5th dimensional energy. 3. I like that Brainiac convinced Nia to tell Kara that she was the one to free Nxyly. 4. When SuperGirl told Mxy not to worry because "nobody puts Myx in a crystal on my watch." The team has really formed a fondness for Mxy. 5. I like the way SuperGirl quickly got behind Alex for protection against the PZ projector. ( I really don't know why they just don't put that projector away). 6. I like Lena's character but I think it is stretching a bit far about her mother & her powers. Her story is becoming the same as Nia's ( a mother with powers leaving her daughter with those powers). After seeing this with Lena and Nia- it would only be fair for me to see what comes of Kelly's story as they all have the same plausibility. What I did not like 1. That the majority of the time it was Dreamer who always came up with a solution to the problem as if she was the only one there with a brain. 2. Towards the end, Nia listened to what SG previously said to her ("What's important is that we learn from our mistakes and stop her") and then later said it to the whole group as if it were her original idea. 3. I see that Nia has been bestowed another power of making herself look like someone else. Again, if one can believe all these powers in Nia and the powers to Lena then certainly there is room for an African American to be a hero too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This ep was pretty great but i agree the Lena storyline is laughable. Suddenly she is a Witch. This is just ludicrous writing i think. That was the only thing i did not like. Rest of the ep was great and again great CGI through out the episode]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The recent few episodes have been much better than the last several years. Having Supergirl try to talk sense into someone and fail was a good moment. The writers might have been able to do better if they had been saddled from past years with fewer characters, but you cannot have everything.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[No more singing from anyone, please. You dont like the Lena storyline but accept kelly as guardian with that ridiculous bird looking costume thats appalling lol The only one they are caking more on is kelly and her horrible storyline of trying to be a hero, not going to happen because its just unbelievable. Just let her be Alex's girlfriend, period. Stop trying to throw her into something else. Like you said above they should just leave kellys character as is instead of writing all this new crazy ridiculousness around her You cannot make someone who is so boring, more interesting with a masquerade costume. Please just stick to Supergirl beating Nyxly, its way more entertaining]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Still sad with the lack of Melissa singing. The laser pointer thing was very funny. I hope we'll see Myxy before the season is over, that Lennon recorded some additional scenes to wrap up his story. Yay for there being a promo again. The completely unrelated witch story, I'm sorry, I still can't do anything but shake my head at this. If this is what Lena's storyline is, it should have been it from the beginning of the season. And I still think it would have fit in better way earlier into Lena's journey. I don't see how rushing it is supposed to make it better. For what reason? Just Lena can wave her hands and contribute something in fight scenes? Literally ANYTHING else would have been better than this. Have her invent some nanotech powers for herself. Have her powers be caused by the already established Acrata artefact. Have her powers come from her siphoning powers from Nyxly. Anything but the super contrived idea of her just stumbling on these powers. This is really just about the worst way they could have written this. It's imo emblematic of the big problem with Lena's character, they just keep having to cake on more and more ridiculous abilities to her to justify her sticking around. Rather than, you know, writing a story where she is around because people like her and she fits in naturally.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First, I want to say that I'm a cat lover so watching the giant cat trying to catch the laser beam was funny! Second, if this is my favorite moment of the episode than this episode was a big miss for me. But even though, like everybody, I don't like the fact that Supergirl was again a supporting character on her own show, I did enjoy Lena's journey (I love witches' stories) and thought it was much more interesting than the Super Friends soap opera with Nia keeping a "big" secret from Kara. Sight. Also, I agree with others, they should have done the Lena story in the beginning of the season. By the way, what was the point of Mxy singing? Nobody else was singing. This is my least favorite episode of the season but I think it will get better as the season continues.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First,I loved the giant cat especially when Supergirl used her heat vision to make the cat chase the laser.I used to do that with my cat and a laser pointer. Second,one of the criticisms against The Flash season 7 this year was how Barry kept talking down all his villains this season.That certainly did not work for Supergirl here.I do love how Supergirl wants to see the best in people even her enemies,but insome cases,that just isn't a option.And it sounds like Kara can't and won't play with kid gloves again regarding Nyxly. It was great having Thomas Lennon back as Mxy.I really like hos take on the character.It was good to get backround from him on Nyxly.Kind of funny since Nyxly is Mxy's wife in the comics. The totems feel like a take off of the Infinity Stones from the MCU IMO. Really liked nia's story here and her guilt.I think we all knew Kara wouldn't hate her and that scene between them was perfection. I don't really have a problem with the witch storyline for Lena.I wish it wasn't happening in the last season so we could have more time with it but I can already see how having a witch on the team will help with a magical foe like Nyxly. Very strong episode I thought.And twitter was right about a promo for next week.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It was an interesting episode. A little wonky dialogue-wise at times, but still fun. The Lena angle had me shaking my head in disbelief. Even the laws of 5th dimensional magic couldn't apply to this. As a Newfoundlander from the Rock would likely say after trying to wrap their head around the premise of Lena's lineage: "Lard tund'rin Jasus! Gets me tree bahttles o' Screech! It's gonna be a laaahng hard noight!" :-*]]></description>
