Speaking of CW shows I've been able to watch along Season 6 of Supergirl instead of waiting for it to hit Netflix a year later thanks to my provider's On Demand feature, as long as I watch within a couple weeks I won't miss any.
The start of Season 6 really showed where production was strained due to the pandemic, that big battle in the Fortress with Lex had so many wonky effect shots.
Though I admire them sticking with the main hook for Season 6 (thus far) and not abandoning it immediately, though I guess it helped that said hook was clearly designed around their lead having a limited shooting schedule due to maternity leave. I am looking forward to Kara getting out of the Phantom Zone, but seeing the team deal with her extended absence has been pretty good so far. But I think one big missed opportunity is not seeing how the world, or at least the city, are dealing with her conspicuous absence. Andrea made one comment about Supergirl being certain to save the day as always, but otherwise no one else seems to have noticed that she's gone, or we're just not focusing on it yet. I guess that story thread will get some screentime once Lex re-emerges to do more Lexing.
I have mixed feelings with the second episode and Lex's trial, since it seems horribly botched (the entire conviction rested on Eve's testimony? There was no other evidence to be found? Between all the Superfriends they couldn't dig up anything they could use in court???) and I get the feeling the writers thought they were being clever with his aquittal and the real world parallels but it was honestly just frustrating.
Next week is time travel shenanigans for poorly explained reasons, but it should be a fun romp nevertheless.
