Supergirl has always been a show that gets a little heavy handed with commentary on the issues of today. Sometimes well and then other times not so much. Tonight was one of those episodes that didn't work. In my opinion at least and that's only thing I can speak on is my opinion on what I saw. So others will say it was good and others will say it wasn't and they're both right because as with all art it's subjective. Here's what didn't work for me. I think the points Kelly was making would all be valid and true in any other show but for me it felt so forced to get her to that place that lead to speaking up that it actually made her look unreasonable. Had this been some other show and not a superhero show yes she should be asking her partner and her friends why they aren't taking her concerns more seriously why aren't they hearing her. But when that partner and those friends are a team of super powered super heroes she looks unreasonable demanding they stop looking for the evil alien who caused all that damage to help her... do what exactly since until that moment that she fought the council woman Kelly didn't even know what was causing people to be sick. Considering that neither Supergirl nor anyone on her team are doctors or healers I don't exactly get what it was she felt they should be doing. She's angry at supergirl for not being there when she fought the council woman yet she didn't even know she would be fighting her since she had no idea that she had been siphoning energy off those injured so So supergirl should've what waited at the hospital while the one who did the damage is doing god knows what to god knows who just in case the was a fight that not even Kelly herself saw coming. I don't mind being given a social message In my superhero series but please in the future have the context fit the story. Also the Martian who can shape shift and is basically invulnerable shouldn't be the one talk about race inequality since while he may have been seen & treated like a black man in America but he's never actually been a black man because he's never had face the obstacles that black men have too. If he gets pulled over he doesn't have to worry about the character of the one who pulled him over since that regardless of how events go he'll be fine. Episode was poorly written but beautifully acted. Actually the actress playing Kelly did really well. She's not to blame the writers did didn't try very hard. While she seemed unreasonable for her feeling as outraged as she did I know that it wasn't due to her ability to convey emotion but the writers lack of talent the only saving grace for this episode is Kelly's acting. And I just learned one of the writers was the actress who plays Kelly. At least she knew her strengths as an actor and could show case them.

Interesting concept and I liked Brainy's enthusiasm with working on Guardian's suit and all his ideas. My main problem with this is that everyone but Kelly seems out of character. The main focus would be with dealing with Nyxly, but they would also be trying to get help for the people affected with Kelly begging them to do so and they wouldn't be ignoring Kelly the way they seem to be. Helping the people would be top priority for all. If necessary, the team would normally have split their time between finding/stopping Nyxly and helping the people - there are enough people to split into two groups. Otherwise, I think the writing was pretty good and it was cool seeing Diggle again.

Could put up with the wokeness of other eps until this!

Why is Kelly making all of them feel guilty about a housing project when their all trying to stop the Imp that's causing it all and you know generally busy saving ALL of mankind! Absolutely absurded writing! As for Kelly saying there's no hero's that look like her?? Did she not see the big black Martian in the room?? Or her brother?? Or Diggle?? Then adding in a book called 'white fragility' just to cram it down our throats a bit more??

This was awful, absolutely the worst episode of the entire show.

You can actually jump over it and you don't really miss anything story wise.

To excessively sum it up: A building explodes and people get sick. Superfriends doesn't care enough to take a break on figuring out how to save the entire world, so they are racist.

Kelly can take super powered hits, but receive no damage? The aliens are all black people and the super friends are uncaring white people? This episode doesn't make sense, but it's obvious that it is the final season because ratings or story no longer matter. This story would have made more sense in a no superhero show.

This episode was bar far the worst one of the season, and the ridiculousness of some fans giving this episode a 10/10 is laughable at best.

Not only was this another episode in the show final season, that doesn't focus the title character, but in the episode itself it frames Supergirl as being ignorant to issues a certain group of people are facing, just because she, and the Superfriends, were focusing on Nxyly, a world ending threat.

The episode was clunkily written, and in of itself was ignorant, as it attempted to ultimately make the issues seen in this episode about race, when in reality they were about people from lower income/criminal backgrounds.

This episode was difficult to watch. Pretty much all of the superfriends act totally out of character so Kelly can shine. The way the episode focused on Kelly felt forced. An entire building collapses and the people need Kelly to call 911, noone else thought about that?

In an understaffed hospital with not enough equipment she gets angry at people that don't do more than they can? Later Kelly gives a speech about the importance of hope, to Supergirl. To the shows own literal "Paragon of hope". Are you serious? Then Kelly stumbles upon the baddie of the episode by pure cooincidence and that justifies her behaviour? Should the superfriends just sit in the hostpital instead of going after the baddie? Also, patients start to glow blue, but no one notices? It's all just really contrived.

I get that they want to introduce a new guardian, but do they really have to make the remaining characters that stupid?

This episode is what happens, when a show is no longer about the characters but about "the message".

Maybe it's for the better, that this is the last season.

"Blind Spots" was an appropriate title for this episode because it was blind at the stupidity of the Left-wing political garbage it purposely attempted to force down the viewers' throats.

Worst episode of Supergirl I've seen to-date. Why?

1. The Supergirl and her super friends focused on saving the world and Kelly Olsen shamed them for not helping Kelly solve a shortage of hospital staff and equipment to help a flood of incoming patients who are 'people of color'.

2. Martian Manhunter said he felt alienated as a martian on Earth, which is understandable. He then said that although he could choose any race to morph into, he chose to be a black man, and that because of that choice he feels more alienated on Earth as a black man than he did as an alien from Mars.

3. Kelly Olsen got a new Guardian suit from Brainy. The new suit looks cheesy and cheap. When Kelly dressed in her new Guardian suit and visited Orlando (whom un-costumed Kelly spoke with many times) he asked who she was and she introduced herself as Guardian, despite her looking like Kelly wearing a Halloween costume and speaking with her normal voice.

4. The closing scene where Kelly wore her "say her name" black power t-shirt and showed us that she was reading a book about "white fragility" followed by Alex saying with extreme guilt that she will never understand what Kelly is going though as a black person.

FYI: Although I don't categorize myself as such, people with Left-leaning views would label me a "person of color".

This episode was so cringe-worthy is not even funny.

They are trying to tell us that Supergirl and company are selfish monsters for trying to save the Universe instead of 20 people.

Without cramming down our throats that white people are bad, and perpetuating that being white is being evil.

This was boring, preachy, horribly written.

I am glad this show is ending.
