It was one of the worst, if not The worst, episodes of the season for me. I appreciate their focus on Nia and the slow setup of Kelly's Guardian but it's really hard to focus on the positives when there's so many negative/annoying things surrounding them. Sometimes, I think that either the showrunners or the writers' room didn't get the memo that there is no season 7.

What is Kara's storyline this season? Why is she used as a plot device for other characters? Why does Nia feel like more of a lead this season than Kara? This is not the Dreamer show. Why is Kara so dumbed down acting like a mentee for William when she is already a Pulitzer winning journalist? They should be equals or Kara should be the one teaching and guiding him. And when are we going to see her dealing with her trauma?

Where is Lena? Why do you have the fan favorite character away from her found family for so many episodes of the final season? What was the reason of making her a valuable member of the Superfam if you're gonna separate her from everyone as you always do. It's so disrespectful to the fans And to Katie who always ends up being away from the rest of the cast and we know from interviews that she hates it.

Where is M'gann? I understand that the actress is not a regular but why was her sudden disappearance never explained on screen?

Why is Alex so surprised by Kelly's abilities? She is the Olsen that was in the army. She already has the training? What was the reason for introducing her as a ex-military member if you're gonna act like she's some newbie to combat?

Are you going to explain the fact that Dansen have a new shared apartment or it's another one of those "too nice so we did it offscreen" things? Will they get endgaged off-screen too?

Why are Alex and Kelly not allowed to be more physical with each other on screen? Why are they never allowed to passionately kiss each other, make out with each other or have scenes in bed with each other? Like almost every het couple on this network. Remember that one Arrow scene with Oliver and Felicity? This is what we would like to see.

Why is no one checking on Nia? The girl is clearly struggling and not even one of her friends reached out to her. Is this how friendships look according to the writers? It's so weird how Andrea of all people seemed to be the only one noticing Nia's worrying state. And why is she written to feel bad for her sister when Maeve was the one who was transphobic to her and Nia did nothing wrong?

Why are you bringing all these new characters and making the episodes about them when we are in the final season and you should be using the precious time to wrap up the storylines of the main characters on the show?

Where is Lex? Why is no one talking about him? Why is no one wondering what he's up to? He's gonna show up at some point and once again have the upper hand because you make the Superfriends look like idi9ts by not keeping an eye on the most dangerous and villainous person in the world.

Why is Acrata not used more? No one cares about William. Out of the two unecessary s5 additions Andrea is the viewers favorite. Why aren't you giving her more to do on screen?

When are we gonna see Kara and Lena actually talking with each other and healing their relationship? One hug and a few big one-liners and suddenly they are back to being besties? Or are you afraid that if you let them interact you won't be able to deny that they are in love with each other (because that's the only logical conclusion Your writing suggests)?

And finally, why is the network not promoting the final season? Why is there no promo for next week after the episode airs? It's happened three times in a row now. It's so insulting to the cast and the crew who all worked hard to finish this show during the pandemic.

Trying to save a building that is meant for low income housing does sound like something Supergirl would do, but not for the main story of the episode.

The secondary story of the episode that involved Nia didn't help the episode. It's been almost three seasons, and they give us another episode about Nia complaining about not understanding how to use her powers.

This is not just one of the last episodes of the season, but it's one of last episodes of the series, and I was expecting, and hoping for better. These last episodes of Supergirl should be the best, but In my opinion, this might be one of the worst episodes of not just the season, but of the series.

Jesse Warn did an excellent accomplishment as the director. Great camera work and how/where the actors moved within. The use of lightning and darkness were executed perfectly. Felt that characters position was all from compelling to fascinating.

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.

It is no longer a show about Supergirl - it is a political statement each and every week!

This show sucks now. I can't believe how pathetic the story arc is.

I can not say what the overall plot of this finale is intended to be. If it is about "power" it has missed it by a lot. If a new viewer watched this episode they would have no idea what the show is about (hint: it is about Supergirl). So much unnecessary dialog and scenes with the weaker members of the cast, heavy handed social commentary, and no sister interactions.
