Supergirl FINALE

Like all finales, Supergirl ended with a thousand questions. Of course, that's exactly what the producers want. As a writer, I do love writing cliffhangers and filling my readers with suspense, but as a viewer/reader....not so much. Especially when it's the end of the book or season and you have to WAIT for what seems like an eternity to find out what comes next.

Aside from that, in this episode J'onn J'onzz tells Lucy that her father is only trying to do what it best. The scene is when General Lane wants to keep the Martian in handcuffs even though in the previous episode he helped save National City. Lucy felt that that wasn't right, as do I. How Lucy stood up to her dad about his choices made me smile. Sometimes it can be hard to stand our ground as adults especially when our parents feel differently about a decision.

When we are young, parents have a right to say no and we should obey them lest there be consequences later. As we grow older and we find our place in this world, while we should listen to our parents' advice we also must be able to stand on our own two feet. Sometimes that means we must do what we feel is right despite our parents choice.

All of this reminded me about how I feel about my parent's choices in how they raised me and the school system they put me through. I can honestly say in their own world regardless of how I felt or difficult circumstances I went through, they thought they were doing what was best. I wish things were different. There are people I wished I had never met and pain I never experienced, but the past is the past and there's nothing I can do about it except move on.

Most of this episode is about ending Myriad once and for all by giving the people of Earth hope that they can overcome this. We each need to have hope that whatever pain we are experiencing, we will get through it. I'm reminded of the song by Chris Tomlin, We Will Rise. Whether you believe in God the Father or not, there's more to life than what you see and those around you, especially family, are important. Hope keeps us from utter despair. Hope drives our hopelessness, which is exactly what happened to the people of National City and will happen to us.

I hope you've enjoyed this show as much as I have. If you haven't watched it, all episodes are available on cbs.com. Can't wait till season 2!
