I am obviously a supercorp shipper, and I don’t have anything to say about other ships. But all ships aside, because I want this post to be relatively neutral. I just want to say that I really did expect that this episode would be good, not just because it will be Lena Centric, but because, I know there will be a lot of things that will happen in this episode namely- Edge’s evolution in showcasing how villainous he is, the sanvers break-up (that’s the sad part), sam, lena and kara’s friendship and whole lot more, how all these characters will soon be connected and how these characters will be revolving in the same orbit. But all has been said and done, the episode was so good, and yes, it’s slowly uncovering the plot of the show.
On a side note, i would just like to point out the scene that really got into me. The moment when Supergirl hurriedly went off to save Lena on the plane, the moment she heard Lena’s voice in distress, she knew what she had to do. So i try to look at this not in a shipper point of view, this part is quite expected. I would simply look at it as Kara danvers/ Supergirl saving her friend. If it was winn or james , she would’ve done the same. So she went there, she saw Lena, the look she gave her like saying “you’re alright, I’m here”, and Lena smiling in return. If this was winn or james, it wouldn’t be the same since both james and winn knew her identity. So that look on Supergirl’s face, was entirely reflecting Kara’s concern towards Lena with a mixture of frustration, that she can’t be too close to Lena, she can’t do anything but save her as Supergirl. See if we look at this in a neutral way, this is Lena Luthor (let’s face it guys, she is indeed a Luthor, sister of Lex Luthor, it’s indeed in her DNA) being saved by our hero Supergirl (a super and a known nemesis of a Luthor), I just love how that moment when Supergirl was about to choose wether to let go of a Luthor or the poison that would kill thousands of people, and literally her face showed that there’s no choice really, she’s not letting go of being a hero and Lena Luthor. that moment she was Kara Zor El. This scene really hit me, all the while that epic background music was playing and it gave me chills, here I was watching a Super doing the very best she could of saving a Luthor, that scene was phenomenal, it was groundbreaking for both TV and Comics. It was so executed well for both the actors. You can see in Supergirl’s face that she will never let go, and by seeing all of that on Lena’s face, i think her life just flashed all at once before her eyes and she realized it was wrong saying to Kara Danvers that she wasn’t worth it, because here she was watching Supergirl devoting all her strength to save her, she was indeed and a matter of fact worth it.
See this is why it’s so damn hard not to ship this, I know they will never be canon? but these are just the perfect example of a real relationship. Sure I’m loving all the frienship, but the chemistry between them more than that is inexplicable and undeniable. If they really want a relationship drama- here you have a super and a luthor. What more can you ask for?
