- Quotes
Young Maeve: What's that in your hand?
Nia Nal: [holding a glowing yellow ball] I don't know.
Young Maeve: It's beautiful. Can I have it? Pretty please? If you give me the light, I'll love you forever.
[as she reaches out to touch it, she flinches and recoils in pain]
Young Maeve: It hurts.
Nia Nal: I'm sorry.
Young Maeve: The light, turn it off!
Nia Nal: I-I'm trying. I... I-I-I don't know how!
[as the light overcomes her, Maeve turns into a raven]
Nia Nal: [waking from her dream] Maeve. The ravens are Maeve. You were right. I was afraid. I didn't wanna face them because I can't face Maeve. I never meant to hurt her.
Isabel Nal: I know, my love.
Nia Nal: All she ever wanted were the powers. Deep down, I knew they were mine. So I ran. I ran to become a reporter. I ran so my light wouldn't burn her. And I just kept running. Even now, I'm running. Because if I own these powers, it just means I'm gonna hurt her more.
Isabel Nal: My darling girl, your authentic self is the greatest gift you give to the world.
Nia Nal: Hiding my light hurt me. And never helped anyone. I still lost her.

Jesse Warn has always been one of my favorite directors in Arrowverse. You feel the passion and attachment in his episodes, in particular this one as well. The cinematography especially is an essential basis to my admiration to his episodes. He knows what he's doing and the acting flourish because of that. His episodes consist of competent and even skilled camera movements with good editing that blend wonderfully in. The location, and set design as well, was compelling, which was accompanied by arresting appearances. But what really stand out in "Still I Rise" was how the actors moved within their particular scenes, which was escorted by clever camera work. Along with how close/far away they were, which symbolized their intentions, or overall personality, wonderfully. What's more is everyone's interactions. I really like how the characters interact with each others, and by doing so, gained impressions or even development.
But where it all comes down to is the characters. Really liked Azie in this episode, one of her best performances in my opinion. Along with Melissa, Peta, Jesse and Kari Matchett who did amazing as well. Nicole deserves an honorable mention, when she was good she was astonishing. Really like the interactivity between Melissa and Peta. Peta who has growth into a requisite character, I must say that she's really good. A significant character who is distinctive from anyone else. What's more is her voice acting, which is really great. Feel like that is an essential part of her, that depicts her in a way that her words doesn't. Along with a remarkable makeup upgrade in this episode. For the hair and makeup i was really satisfied. Most ones had an fitting look. While the costumes left me a bit let down. I must say that i do liked the editing, in particular between Nicole Maines character surrounded by the rest. Or just the editing within Nicole separate scenes. Thought that the contrast with the light was a nice touch for her dreams. Or in general atmosphere her dreams emited. This episode in general emitted plainly emotions. Especially a warmth, either a sense of enthralling, or inclusive sorrow.
Really liked the color pallet. Especially when they used cgi. Feel like the background, or overall surrounding(s), was striking and overall dramatic even while there was cgi. A nice touch that can often be forgotten. I also really liked how this episode went together with the previous ones in the season. It connections, and moreover tied togetherness, was impressive and done really excellent. I feel like that is a strong aspect of Supergirl that is often pushed aside. It links previous episodes (and often set up and put out seeds for upcoming episodes) brilliantly. This episode's climax was implemented perfectly. It had nostalgic emotions, that were explored in previous episodes, while setting up new ones. It never seemed forced in any ways and just keep getting extensively.
The environment they were in emitted lots of vehemence and a major circumstance was the energetic dynamic Peta's character were in. And especially with the contrast you had with Melissa's character. In addition you had the illumination that went together with their dispositions and someway mirrored their emotions. Also perfect arrangement with the soundtracks, that occured on appropriate times. Yeah, this episode was a splendid one and a crucial one for establishment. Season 6 continue to going strong. This episode get a guaranteed 10 out of 10.
