SUPERGIRL Mid-Season Recap: Season 2
So, with 2016 in the books and 2017 off to an incredible start it’s time to discuss the sophomore season of Supergirl. If you’ll recall I wrote the recap of the first half of season one and was pretty positive about the show to that point. To set the table, I thought they did a damn good job of following up on the first half of Season One despite a few episodes feeling a bit odd down the stretch. Season Two picks almost literally when they left off, with Kara and J’onn inspecting the pod that crashed to earth. It turns out our new friend was a Daxamite named, Mon-El. …
