CatвЂ™s advice to Kara is a game changer for the hero, who learns to control her anger after uncovering its roots. Once again, Flockhart is given the very best scenes in this episode as she goes toe-to-toe with her overbearingly successful mother (Joan Julie Buck) and proves to be a kind and caring mentor to Kara. As a matter of fact, for as much as the Supergirl/Red Tornado battles were fun to watch, it was even more fun to see Kara raise her voice at her boss, Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart). Kara/Supergirl is having a lot of trouble controlling her temper, both in battles with robot menaces and at work. While the robotic villain is, of course, literally red-faced, the title of this episode is equally descriptive of the вЂњgame nightвЂќ side of the story. I would love to see the characterвЂ™s moody melodrama added into the mix. Morrow (also played by Iddo Goldberg), will get a chance for a return engagement. HereвЂ™s hoping that the character, and his nefarious creator T. Unfortunately, the Tornado doesnвЂ™t get the chance for much development, and serves mostly as a punching bag for Supergirl as she works out her anger issues. IвЂ™d seen some promotional stills of the Tornado beforehand and was pretty worried, but digital enhancements worked their magic and made the character look a lot better in the final version. Once again, however, he suffers in comparison to MarvelвЂ™s Vision, featured in MarvelвЂ™s Avengers: Age of Ultron summer blockbuster.

SupergirlвЂs Red Tornado (played by Iddo Goldberg) is a pretty good version of the character. (The Tornado was later given an elaborate backstory I wonвЂ™t go into here.) I always liked the Red Tornado, even though he was pretty moody for an android, and always seemed to make stupid mistakes that caused more trouble for the team.

Although he was at first a villain, he soon joined the ranks of the JLA, serving as their resident android hero and as a counterpoint to the more successful android Avenger, the Vision, over at Marvel Comics. The Red Tornado, created by Gardner Fox and Dick Dillin, made his first appearance in that magazine back in 1968.

The battle, of course, goes wrong, and the robot and his creator end up posing a threat to National City, a threat that Supergirl has to confront.ДЇor longtime fans of DC ComicsвЂ™ Justice League of America (JLA), the robot menace will be a familiar one.

Supergirl is called upon by the military to engage in a test battle with a humanoid robot designed to challenge hostile aliens. The robot fight, at least in this episode, is to be taken literally.

This balance is the secret to the success of Greg BerlantiвЂ™s superhero TV universe, a universe that also includes Arrow and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow, which air alongside the The Flash on CW. Like its sister program, the still-superior The Flash, Supergirl is at its best when it maintains a nice balance between earnest but absurd superheroics and lightly drawn and funny human drama. That delightful interaction is a pretty good example of what makes Supergirl a treat. Game night is the last shred of normalcy that remains in our crime stopping, alien hunting, D.E.O. Supergirl's second season takes off on The CW October 10th, and you can catch up with the first season Blu-ray or DVD, or during the current, repeat airings on The CW and .вЂњDoes the robot fight mean that game nightвЂ™s cancelled?вЂќ Winn (Jeremy Jordan) asks Kara/Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) in the latest episode of the new CBS series. But, if your time is limited and you don't want to watch 20 episodes, here's a cheat sheet with the essentials that will get you caught up before Season 2. If you only watch these, you might miss the first look at Supergirl's version of the Fortress of Solitude, and a great Bizarro story, for example. Though these 10 episodes represent the best of the best, don't think that the other 10 are without merits.

It wasn't a perfect season of television-it can be pretty cringeworthy whenever Kara 'chats' with her famous cousin over an instant messenger screen-but it is definitely a show that's worth catching up with, and one that will certainly get even better as the series matures. Supergirl Season 1 was a very fun entry into the DC TV superhero world, highlighting a strong female protagonist with a great message.
