Supergirl Season 3 Episode 23 “Battles Lost and Won” REACTION

[@elisa529]

*immediately comes to Lena's defense...* sameeee

[@elisa529]

that said, I do think she'll have a struggle arc. just hope it's handled well

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

I think the Black Kryptonite split Kara into two, just like it did Sam and Reign, I think that’s what the end means. The Lena scene has me a bit worried because the writers, obviously. Just because she’s a Luthor doesn’t mean she’s evil. Also, can I just say how much I enjoyed seeing Alura use her powers and save the world with Kara, like that was a highlight for me. Seeing how much her daughter has grown, no doubt she was proud. I loved what Erica Durance did with the character and I hope she comes back next season for guest spots. Lena commenting on how great of a mom Alex will become because she has seen how well she took care of Ruby, is honestly all I could ever want. And the group hug between Alex, Lena, and Sam...#AgentReignCorp 😂. Agree with you 100% Emily, I hate seeing Alex cry. But our girl got promoted!! #DirectorDanvers 🙌🏻

[@shanedaley6236]

Yap the black rock is going to be how they do a really famous superman comic where he is in Russia but with her

[@kvoltti]

could be Overgirl reborn

[@shanedaley6236]

Kyle Voltti could be with a little explanation but I don't think a former Nazi would side with any part of Russia or former Russia I think more clone kinda it will be interesting to see how they explain it

[@prilpril876]

i don't think Lena is evil....i just think she wants to do all the research she can, regardless of what supergirl thinks

[@shanedaley6236]

MyNameIsAprille exactly she knows this rock could be dangerous but she also knows it could do something great for the world so she had to deal with that question even though it can be bad does that mean we shouldn't use it for the good that it can provide as well like nuclear power it can be bad but also good I hope the show hits on that next season as a way of showing she's doing good even when she might get into trouble doesn't mean she's evil

[@vilestine]

hahahaha 10:55 I laughed so hard =DD "Legends are gonna show up and be like nonono!" Had I not seen the episode I thought Kara was gonna bump into waverider on the way up

[@debanderson5796]

I'm sad if Sam isn't coming back......like the Daver sisters together. Want more of Lena next season. And please get Alex a love interest.

[@fireflame62]

Deb Anderson why

[@TwistedTeaRex]

I still think Sam should have been Alex's love interest.

[@nayvett08]

The black kryptonite split Kara into two people like Sam/ Reign. I hope we get more Kara and Lena scenes next season! Overall it was and interesting episode. I will forever support Lena Luthor even if they make her evil!

Well if this is the case then is cool...evil Supergirl is the best! The best episode from the whole show was the one with Red Kryptonite

[@vaayran]

That makes much more sense!!! So basically like crisis-x Kara.

[@sebastiandaniels3244]

Tunxh Yeah pretty much but Siberian

[@prilpril876]

I'm lowkey dying for Lena to find out Kara is supergirl.

[@nayvett08]

MyNameIsAprille honestly same I hate that she has to lie to her friend to “protect her”. She’s a Luthor she’s always in danger!

[@margomaybe7570]

And thanks for your reactions this season! I'm glad you stuck with it. Not cause it's a great show, but because there's so much to learn from it. Mostly from its mistakes. I think this fandom has grown and become more educated because of all the conversations it brought up.

[@letikoalamelomane]

The one thing missing for me is Kara telling Lena she's supergirl Or supergirl saying she's Kara both works...

[@dvader518]

Too bad Lex was the first one to tell her.

[@YoRocky89]

Actually, David confirmed today on instagram that he's back full time next season. :) Glad you enjoyed the finale. :)

[@agentreign228]

When Sam, Reign and Kara touched the Black Kryptonite,it created an evil Kara. Same as when the Black Kryptonite divided Sam and Reign into two different people. The Kara at the end is Evil Kara and they are either making her the villain of season 4 or Lena, or maybe even both.

[@AgentSmithXD]

maybe evil kara seduced lena to the dark side. and now they are planning world domination

[@CarlosHuiskens]

There is no confirmation on whether or not Kara's doppelganger will be Evil.

[@agentreign228]

Carlos Huiskens there isnt but thats what black kryptonite does and the scene with the soldiers was actually a rip away from the comics.

[@CarlosHuiskens]

Actually you're a bit wrong on that. Black Kryptonite was a original concept on the television show Smallville. On that show Black Kryptonite was used multiple times to separate A being into two separate beings not necessarily one good and one evil. It was first used on Clark to separate him from his kryptonian ''Kal-El'' side. And Kal-El wasn't evil by nature he simply didn't have his human side to keep him grounded. This is why the Kal-El version of Clark was fully focused on fulling his Destiny. It was used a second time on accident on Lex when he experimented with it. This result split him into a good and evil side. And it was used a third time on Doomsday by splitting Davis bloom from the Beast and by nature neither of them are actually Evil. Doomsday of itself probably doesn't even know what evil is. Its simply a killing machine. At least that is how he's depicted on Smallville. Afterwards Black Kryptonite was formally introduced into the Supergirl comics as a form of kryptonite that separates one into a Good and Evil version. But ultimately its up to the writers of Supergirl how to interpret the effects of this version of Black Kryptonite. As for the finale scene its meant as a Easter Egg towards the Superman: Red Son comic. And its been confirmed that season 4 will borrow some of its elements. But also in that comic the Superman that grew up in the Soviet Union wasn't evil by nature. So the only thing i can hope for is that they don't go for a Evil Kara next season. We've had 3 sounds in a row of Evil-ish Super powered female villains. Basically copying the Flash with having 3 Evil speedsters for 3 seasons long. So it would be good for the show to switch it up a little.

[@CarlosHuiskens]

Really you call her Karla? Don't tell me you've been watching this show for 3 years and call her Karla haha. Also if you don't enjoy the show then don't watch it.

[@anasantander2433]

Red Son is a masterpiece comic, in this alternative universe Superman grown up in Urss. I have all the fears the CW writers they will make a shit adaptation. The conflict between Luthor and Superman is huge in this comic.

[@dvader518]

Good news! They didn’t really do an adaptation, just used Red Daughter and had the best live action Lex Luthor in recent memory (plus politics).

[@anac4892]

The ending was actually Kara's clone created by the Harun-el(i think) but it was for sure her clone. One question: will you be reacting to season 4 when it comes out? 'Cause i really hope so, your reactions are the best

[@linevoight]

This episode it’s the way the whole season should have been...emotional, about friendship, the fight scenes it was amazing... it was so beautiful to me! Its so sad that the ruined previous episodes

[@paigeX1999]

I'm sad that Sam wont be a regular next season she's only in a few episodes x

[@CarlosHuiskens]

She MIGHT be in a few episodes. Nothing has been confirmed yet as far as i know.

[@Soul.14159]

That Phil of the Future reference slapped me across the face.

[@supercorp45]

Can't wait to see season 4 ,what will happen with Lena character

[@simplyxnoella5705]

Supercorp 45 she going to become a evil bitch

[@almacadenas2007]

simplyxnoella oh my god yessss

[@liliannecormier]

Your reactions are EVERYTHING! I always look forward to them! Will you be reacting to season 4? I know you said there was a possibility that you weren't going to, so I'm just wondering-I love watching your Supergirl reactions because you always analyse the episode really well and we share a lot of the same opinions! I'm definitely a fan of yours!

[@GoldenHour1989]

The Alex and Lena moment had fucking tension

[@madmaxrockatansky6447]

Thank you Emily Anne for the devoted reviews the whole season and by the way you are looking gorgeous and full of energy.

[@silkyhank]

Wow. Someone finally called Alex a hero. Amazing.

[@A7ZZZ7]

they are doing the Red Daughter storyline!!! The basic premise is: what if instead of EUA, the kryptonian pod landed on Russia ?" It's based on a Superman story from the early 2000's.

[@anngan5045]

Except that wasn't Russia but USSR, which doesn't exist anymore and Russia today has nothing to do with communism, and the main theme of the story was how absolute power corrupts even good guys - which wouldn't work here since black Kryptonite Kara would be all evil.

[@lexigrace2547]

the fancy rock that they used to end Reign splits kryptonians apart so when kara touched it, it made to versions of her

[@rebel_born_free]

I love your reactions, thank you for making them:)

[@MiguelPlata26]

Haru-nel is like black kryptonite, it is able to split or join two halves of a kriptonian.

[@lessismore8533]

I freaking CRIED at the end with Winn!!

[@ivoryflor]

geez, we have the same reaction in the last part and i love how they pull this finale.

[@daynapalomino9409]

i hope ALEX DANVERS falls in love again

[@locomojoboy2]

dayna palomino with Maxwell Lord? Me too. He needs to come back to the show.

[@richardsuplee8137]

The second Kara is unknown there are a few possibility. Either the rock split Kara into 2 or their are consequences to time travel because why isn't there. Or alternate dimension version. Superman: Red Son features a superman who landed in Russia instead of America and how that changed history and DC Bombshells has a Supergirl who landed in Russia before WW2 who becomes a hero alongside other WW2 versions of superheroes.

[@johnoldman2711]

I think Jon is a private detective now, like in comics. Read the minds, so it's an easy job for him. And the ending may mean that season 4 will be based on Red Son.

[@margomaybe7570]

Super excited for the clean slate for next season. I have a good feeling they're going to it well this time. Lena will never be evil, but she clearly can disagree with the Supergirl team and both sides be right. She believes in scientific advancement by any means because thats her way of helping people. That's it. Supergirl thinks differently. That's it. And that's a great conflict story. Not good vs bad, but two conflicting ideologies with the same goal trying to work around each other

[@chriss8107]

8:37 Oh look! It's Harry Potter and Dumbledore drinking the poison of the hocruxs! :D

[@BringOnTheRainxx3]

HERE for the undercut. Has that always existed?!

[@Yyousef12345]

The black rock on the show is called black kryptonite in the comics and it’s known to split a kryptonian in half one good one bad that Kara at the end was the bad one

[@chooch99]

The ending means they are about to do the famous graphic novel story "Red Son". In that GN, superman's rocket landed in Russia vs America, and he was raised to become a commie super leader. They are doing it seems, a Supergirl version, and this is a duplicate of Kara caused by her time travel.

[@marga_mld]

Im tired of evil Karas !!!!!!!!!! They need to renew themselves !!!!!! What about Cadmus ?!?! Huh ?!?! What about THAT storyline ?!!!

[@allthingspaper3247]

I like evil karas they arnt gunna stop bringing her up for someone like you

[@cindyvindrik492]

Margaux C r u seeious evil kara is acting on point!!!!! Better acting then a 3vil Oliver qu33en how many evil speedsters did we have ;)

[@Slade_The_Deathstroke]

I do like Evil Kara back in Season 1 when Kara was exposed to Red Kryptonite. That episode was great. I just feel like it doesn't bring anything new to the story since we've already seen it done before when it comes to our hero facing evil version of themselves; Crisis on Earth-X and The Flash Season 3. Surely, I hope they changed my mind on it when Season 4 starts. I am hoping that maybe this Kara ends up becoming Power Girl. But, for now, I am not feeling Dark Supergirl with the background of Superman: Red Son.

[@cindyvindrik492]

Slade The Deathstroke they apparently say it might be a Russian supergirl

[@allthingspaper3247]

Slade The Deathstroke your judging how it’s gunna be before you’ve seen it. Maybe it’s going to be entirely different and better

[@carteljameson8395]

Did you just drop a Phil of the Future reference? How dare you hit me in the feels like that!

[@allthingspaper3247]

Just like Barry Allen did Kara changed the timeline causing disasters such as another Kara

[@brandihillier]

This is a highlight of each week for me. Thank you.

[@uzumakinaruto2986]

It was amazing watching you react this season

[@krissmith8851]

- Lena and James are still Lames. NO! - Emily, for the space between now and when "Wynonna Earp" premieres, can I recommend "Legion"? The gay stuff doesn't happen until about the end of season two, but I think that you'd like the cinematography throughout the whole show.

[@williamroper5422]

Kris Smith Lenny having that one drug fueled hookup is the only gay thing I remember. Is there anything else I'm forgetting?

[@ShinxMiyoshi]

What's the song they use?

[@terpcj]

I'm with you. Lena not being a "company man" doesn't mean she's evil. Toeing the line Lena is so much more fun and filled with creative opportunities than the trite, cliche, boring ol' Lena's a Luthor so she must turn against the Supers trope.

[@gee_whizz13]

Looks like they are taking inspiration from the Superman: Red Son comic book arc (to explain the end)

[@peterarlington223]

Looks like they're going to do Superman: Red Son, where Clark landed in Russia instead of Kansas, but with Supergirl instead. This'll be interesting!

[@EternalDensity]

I too was surprisingly pleased with how all the character arcs ended up! And they faked out most of them going really badly too :P Many characters dying, Alex resigning... nooope :D Kinda sad Mon-el is totally gone, he became quite a bro. Lena is doing nothing wrong! Maybe a bit foolhardy and dangerous but not evil!!

[@emmaripley9688]

I've come to realize I only watch this show for Alex Danvers.

[@KrisP1995]

Did you do Phil of the Future only switched it with Winn? 😂😂❤️❤️ I love your reactions so much. I can’t wait for Wynonna Earp

[@georgetucker6723]

Dont forget supergirl is in different universe than legends

[@dansgaming2064]

Actually, now that I think about it, Lena having the kryptonite might be a good thing because of Evil Supergirl. They can just put them together again.

[@raven3moon]

That scene with the spirits was just like that scene in Ghost where the bad guy gets dragged off.

[@nizolierocks]

Mon el is gone!!!! Woohoo. Now if we get evil Kara after Lena. Omg. The possibilities of evil Kara. Lol. Cannot wait. They just need to end lames. I still think Lena is good and will discover and create something good

[@debanderson5796]

Always enjoyed your reactions.....thanks.

[@MegaFun000]

I read a theory on twitter from @littlemachine_ on twitter, that Lena could be affected by the handling of that rock because they were unaware of the side affects.

[@amandamoskal3640]

Am I the only one that’s gonna miss Mon-el?😭

[@anjapusnik]

Amanda Moskal no

[@lessismore8533]

I'm gonna miss winn

[@johnjames6344]

My guess: Siberia Kara is.basically.a time remnant - like in The Flash. They may be doing a Supergirl take on the Superman "Red Son" story.

[@HungerGamesFan032312]

That's Imra legion ring not a wedding ring, they never wore any marriage ring.

[@charlesdurham1972]

Season Four is gonna be A take on Superman Red Son; Supergirl Red Daughter. That’s why she is in Russia

[@havok6280]

Charles Durham or Last Daughter of Krypton...

[@charlesdurham1972]

havok6280 It’s going to be a take from the Superman mythos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qniThoiafK5jZ9E this link will explain what they are going to attempt to do

[@havok6280]

Charles Durham that's based on an assumption. There is also a Supergirl story called Last Daughter of Krypton that takes place in Siberia. They could draw from either story. Google it if you like... Red Son is a great story, but the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore. Plus it's an elseworld story. It doesn't occur in the main continuity. Plus CW shows tend to draw from New 52 stories...

[@charlesdurham1972]

havok6280 Well it’s a safe assumption. 50% likelihood. If it’s not, okay.

[@havok6280]

Charles Durham 50/50 is not good odds... it's not even more likely than not...and I'm not even sure what you're basing that on... but we'll see in the fall...

[@JayceMaxwell]

Lena doesn't have to be evil to be an antagonist to Supergirl. She can be good for the people and bad for Supergirl at the same time, which is actually what Lillian wanted all along. She'll just be less terrorist-y about it. Lena wants to help the world. If Supergirl likes it, fine - if she doesn't, tough.

[@petermatthews3729]

We are not saying evil, just that the road to hell can be paved with good intention. Lena had to hide out at Catco for the first part of the season because she did not trust herself after being manipulated by Rhea into having her creation used to bring an invading army to Earth. Now she is researching alien minerals used for Terraforming.

[@mrgdf4954]

You can also time jump if you have a connection to the speedforce to

[@Nobody-bp5wh]

11:19 1.) We're *not* in the same universe though. That's why it's called a multi-verse, there's multiple universes. Each with their own Earth, their own Krypton, even their own Mars. 2.)Earth-1 has time travel outside of Time Ships. Abracadabra had totally different technology, and the Speed Force can break the time barrier too. So... idk what you're talking about there. o.o

[@adamlouie1503]

For season 4 they're gonna do the Red Son story arc

[@LuJo-se4dc]

That ending is a Superman storyline from the comics. It's pretty good tbh. Have you heard Floriana supposedly wants to come back?

[@lingenberry]

Nice reaction! I felt all the endings to the arcs were really well-earned but also unexpected yet sensible? IDK, I always feel the writers do a really good job with emotional character work if not always consistency. One correction tho, Jeremy Jordan is now a recurring role on the show. David Harewood is still a regular. Chris Woods is no longer a regular or recurring.

[@12chapin]

Well Kara can always take B5 to see a Star Wars marathon.

[@12chapin]

Also, Kara created a new timeline, different from where everybody died. Barry would be ....little angry.

[@imstillhere3973]

The Black Kryptonite split Kara into two, one evil and one good. So... troubles ahead next season

[@davidnottennant1161]

They're doing a version of the Superman storyline "Red Son," where instead of landing in Kansas as a baby, he lands in Russia.

[@JadeTheMonkeyGirl]

I cant believe they got rid of Winn instead of James.

[@stockyguru]

JadeTheMonkeyGirl I think Jeremy Jordan wanted to leave expand his horizons etc

[@ceikaiyiacheeksthedirector2920]

Danvers Sister is the truest and they better not make Lena go evil. Also, I think Kara got exposed to Black Kryptonite, which splits a Kryptonian into two separate entities It also will be funny if they have Kara and Lena end up together(thats if Kara tells Lena she is Supergirl) in season 5, pulling a Korrasami or have a comic where they are together as a spinoff like them going on vacation. Also, you make a very good point about Lena and Regina. I never thought of that. They both have moms who were terrible(but Cora did get her bit of redemption). They both have siblings that were bad. And they both are being constantly judge for their family or their own actions. Nice take away. Also, if you dont mind. Im writing a fanfic about my reaction to Supergirl and I was hoping you like to read it?

[@Potato_Meme_]

I have the same Wonder Woman cup. And the Kara at the end is The Red Daughter or Red Son Supergirl.

[@toshomni9478]

I suppose the Fountains of Lilith should be allowed because it was shown from the start that Reign was created with magic that had to come from somewhere. This season was fantastic as were your reactions.

[@sebastiandaniels3244]

I’m pretty sure that when Kara time-traveled and interacted with the Harynel(not sure if I spelled that right) it time displaced her. I think they are going to do their version of the Red Son storyline.

[@sportsnthingsshows2786]

this episode was emotional I like director Danvers and the Winns leaving scene was just a tear jerker. can't wait for season 4. lena as the big bad is cool. thanks for all your hard work this season. brainy is in season 4.

[@lessismore8533]

I know I CRIED at the Winn part

[@lessismore8533]

I thought Brainy went back to the futrec. Hmm

[@Carlos-yr6de]

I think season 4 might explore the iconic red son story line. With power girl..

[@basupallab91]

Amazing episode!!! End scene I think Red Daughter!! Or Powergirl !! 🤔🤔🤔

[@thinkofthebest319]

Maybe Kara has a split persona too now like Sam and Reign. It could've happened when they all had their hands on the haren-el (that's probably spelled wrong, sorry). The bad guy in season 4 might be Kara herself.

[@DavidBrown-xm8ou]

10:55 The Legends were on Earth-1. Supergirl was on Earth-38. 11:19 It's not the same universe. Not at the time of this episode. Only now (Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths), are they all on Earth-Prime. Also, Barry Allen (and other speedsters) can time travel.

[@anita189]

They're doing the Superman 3 timeline. Or red son timeline m look it up ;)

[@aire801]

When Sam, Lena,Ruby and Alex had a group hug that's a family support.John what will he do?Winn will go to the future i'll miss him the bestfriend of Kara and i like him than James to be Kara's bf at first.About Alex and Lena when she first visited Danvers place i thought she and Alex gonna have some relationship but nothing..Black Kyptonite might split Kara into 2..wow interesting i just don't want Lena to be riding the bad Luthor's name but writer's might go into it.Danver sisters i just love them.

[@hsvmonarocv8136]

I agree with Charles Durham's comment, Red Son/Red Daughter storyline for S4. Be interesting to see how it is interpreted.

[@kellyroff2899]

They really pulled this off

[@laurenroger7071]

Can you react to "the bold type" please

[@susanrahma594]

omg yes please

[@zombiemom7378]

I am totally on board with the Winn/Brainy ship! 100% that's gotta happen. It's what we need.

[@ohijordan]

So since you don't watch The Flash, Barry can go back in time too and he has MULTIPLE times. just to let you know, its a very bad idea thats why the Legends take care of it.

[@cameroneleftheriou4355]

I bet you when Kara watched Star Wars she went through all the planets and said whether they were real or not

[@dominickbrando8134]

The black rock used to separate Reighn and Sam also separated supergirl and Kara

[@theknd]

Can Lena and Kara already kiss? 2 season now, c'mon bro.

[@blissinchains]

HAHAHA.... she's not gay, sweetheart. :) Only into men. Say hello to #supermsurf next season!

[@anjapusnik]

They never will and the sonner you realize it the better

[@theknd]

Anja Pušnik Bro, listen. Do you think I live for this shit? Hell to the fucking no. IS JUST A SIMPLE DESIRE I HAVE FOR A FUCKING SHOW. OF COURSE NOT THEY'LL NOT GOING TO MAKE IT REAL CUZ THEY'RE A BUNCH OF FUCKING HOMOPHOBICS JUST LIKE YOU. Thank god I'm smart enough to not be in stupid ass fandoms of tv series. Yall acting like stupid 5 year olds.

[@12chapin]

I wish they had shown Supergirl turning back time, like they did in Superman. We know that’s what she did, but they didn’t show it.

[@brendainfante222]

I'm crying. I love it this finale. But, what happened with Lena? she is not evil! OMG. Well, i love her. Your Reaction is the best ever. Me too want that respond me about the finale, she that is real Kara or bizzarro version? or she coming of the other dimension? I from VENEZUELA, I LOVE YOU Emily Anne!

[@chloeforman]

The Legends are in a different Earth.

[@gracehuntley1050]

This was one really surprised everyone quite a bit. I'm glad they were able to wrap up all these side plot lines relatively well. It also explains why the whole season seemed fragmented with some characters only interacting with a select few when the whole group wasn't together. I wasn't a big Karamel fan but that goodbye could've been better. Like a hug at least or something. Just like with Mon-el and Imra( Are they divorcing in the future?). It seemed incomplete and awkward. I'm curious as to how they will portray this "evil/bad" Kara. I wasn't a huge fan of Nazi Supergirl. And will she have the same weaknesses as Kara or be a "bizarro" version, polar opposite? (ie: good Kara is weak against kryptonite but bizarro gets stronger.) I look forward to what you'll react to next. I've seen a lot of suggestions for The Bold Type, but I'd also suggest Killing Eve before Wynonna Earp airs. Thanks

[@tennparker1]

Legends wouldn't care about Kara's time travel unless they exist on Earth 38 in the Arrowverse. Legends with Sara Lance and company takes place on Earth 1 where Barry Allen is main culprit of time travel foolery.

[@supercloudstar4906]

Evil kara?

[@joits]

Lena isn't evil... yet. They're following Smallville's blueprint almost... where Clark and Lex were good friends and then Lex found out Clark's secret and took that as a betrayal. That's how I see the Lena/Supergirl relationship going.

[@ChivyD]

Brightside Mon-El is gone bye Felicia .

[@anjapusnik]

ChivyD darkside

[@moonsua_lvr]

I’m gonna miss Sam :( Also I think the duplicate Kara could be because she time traveled and could be a paradox of some sort

[@damirmateljic2435]

I kinda feel bad that reign died She was one of the best supervillains kara fought. In s4 its probably gonna be another evil kara. In my opinion reign was one of the best villains in the show, kinda hot aswell tbh

[@skodedickinson6544]

This chick be like - "all the men are leaving - yay! Let's ship all the women!" Haha

[@stinka4079]

Alex said it took forever to find Maggie? Maggie was already on the scene before Alex came to her revelation.

[@daryl772003]

that is an excellent point

[@bluesteel1310]

Figuratively speaking

[@batsy941]

Kara got split into two. Melissa plays evil version better than sweet kara as proven in episode 16 season 1 the fallen which is still top 3 episodes thus far on imdb it was that good. Season 4 will follow split kara theme
