#supergirl 100th episode

[denissepalacios21]

Happy 5 years of episode 100 where Kara tried to change the reality so she could save her relationship with Lena and be the one to tell her she's supergirl 💙❤️

[fazedlight]

Mxy's a goddamn liar.

I allude to it in this ficlet, but I don't think he ever had the capability to turn back time. Because if he did, then it would've been trivial in 2x13 to insert himself in Kara's life & try out different personas until something worked.

He's a trickster! That's his whole thing!

He had an obsession with affection for Kara, so he wanted her to feel better. And what better way to comfort Kara than by convincing her that no other path (in extremely contrived scenarios) could've worked? It's the obvious solution (... if you're a trickster god).

He means well, and he's a goddamn liar ❤️

[meaningxmeaning]

It feels bizarre because there's an extremely obvious direction to take the premise of the 100th episode? Just have Kara genuinely, legitimately, find the perfect universe where she has a strong friendship with Lena and everything is out in the open... and then have her realize that that'd still be lying to Lena.

Like the reason you don't take magic shortcuts isn't because they don't work??? The superheroic reason for not doing something like that is that it fundamentally is a lie, and that resonates so much more because Kara lying to protect her relationship with Lena is exactly what set this whole thing off?

It's honestly bizarre how much of a layup the 100th episode's premise is for this. And you could even end it in mostly the same place- just have Kara tell Lena that she recognizes that she made all the wrong choices, but those were her choices, and she can't change that. She wants to fix things, but that's up for Lena to decide too– Kara can't make her do that, and until then she'll have to stop Lena's bad choices from harming anyone else.

It's still a little self-righteous, but also Lena did objectively try to mind control the planet so I'm pretty sure Kara's allowed to be a bit self-righteous. Just admit that she fucked up too.

i have no idea why the writers put off The Reveal™️ for so long actually but using the 100th episode to make up dumb reasons to justify kara’s choices and assuage her guilt was so unnecessary in my opinion like. yes. u messed up not having her tell lena sooner. deal with it like grown ups because the truth is it was not the right choice and there is no excuse good enough

[arayeee]

If Mxy had shown up for Lena AND Kara in the 100th episode, what do you think he would’ve shown Lena vs. what he showed Kara? And would it have helped their situation sooner if he had?

OH OKAY.

Of course this is after the secret is out, so like *cracks knuckles* let's do this.

Mxy would have started off sitting Lena down and being like "Watch this first" and he shows EVERY time Kara slipped up and Lena missed ALL the signs of who she truly was. So basically after showing her that it was right in front of her the entire time and she was just blinded from the start because hello, it's Kara. Mxy will then show her the multiple times Kara told everyone she wanted to tell Lena, and when she first met Lena and everyone telling Kara to be careful AND with that he will also show EVERY SINGLE TIME Kara/Supergirl stood up for her and fought for her, without her ever knowing.

Then, only after all of that he will ask her if she would like to see how Kara's "rewind" went or if she wanted to go back and retry certain situations between them. Because ultimately he would want it to be Lena's choice. But now that she knows Kara's secret, seen all the times she missed the signs and how big of a "ride or die" Kara truly was, he feels like she would have a better idea of where to start if she wanted to do her own rewind. Which she does. She may be a scientist but she is not gonna give up this chance to see if she could improve things before it all fell apart.

So she asks to go back to the start, the first interview and the helicopter attack, then she goes back to when Kara barges in her office and she tells Jess that Kara can show up whenever. Then we move on to the more delicate parts, like the Mercy Graves attack and Kaznia. Every time Supergirl has saved her. SHE STARTS CRYING because she's now witnessing the signs she missed not only of Kara and Supergirl being one and the same, BUT also all the subtle hints of Kara being in love with her.

Now, before she stops she asks Mxy what was the last thing Kara asked to witness, and he hesitates to answer her. And when he tells her that Kara's last resort was to see the life of Lena without her in it, Lena decides she wants to see it for herself. And instead of starting off where Kara and Mxy did, no. Lena is back in that helicopter. No supers there to save her. It crashes and her mother drags her out and repairs her as Metallo and so forth. We go through the WHOLE ordeal with her. The loneliness, the darkness, the pain. Eventually it comes to where Kara had come in to find her at her office when she had taken over the city. We go through Kara trying to talk to her and Lena is pissed and hurt. She flashes the kryptonite in her chest and Kara falls to the ground refusing to fight. At first Lena is so deep in the delusion that she forgets it's not real, so she's playing the part. Until Kara says "I won't fight you Lena, I know your heart" and that snaps Lena back into reality, that THIS reality is not real. That she isn't really blaring down on Kara with Kryptonite from her chest. So she covers it with her blazer, and stretches her arm out, placing a hand on Kara's cheek. Kara's eyes meet hers and Lena says "I promise I am going to fix this darling".

She calls out Mxy's name and is back in her penthouse, Mxy is pacing her living room nervous when she appears. "I don't need a restart, I just need Kara to know how sorry I am for making this worse" Lena states and starts to walk towards the door. Without another word, Mxy snaps his fingers and Lena is snapped from her living room to Kara's apartment door.

AND ANYWAYS YOU GET THE GIST. Okay.

Apart from show canon, at which point did u think it was too late for lena's immediate forgiveness to kara's identity reveal

oh boy. anon, here is where i come clean about my shoddy recollection of canon’s chronology. i’ve done so many fragmented rewatches and skipping back and forth—there’s a reason i rarely dabble with canon-adjacent stuff! and that even when i do, i create worlds where Lena figures it out herself! 

second road bump to answering this question is that i have a LOT of feelings about how things played out on the show, and most of them are incongruent with the tone of sgcw. i understand their narrative reasons for keeping the secret from Lena for so long! but the execution is so, so terrible! ignoring large swathes of canon and replacing them with my own is the only way i’m able to enjoy at least the last tiny handful of seasons!

here is where i spend an hour procrastinating from my WIPs, while not successfully answering your question at all:

to be perfectly clear: i adore most parts of canon Kara. and i think i may be hard on her in ways i wouldn't be if i didn’t relate to her so much. i think her backstory is extremely compelling and i admire her ability to hold on to her kindness and hope and joy even after losing everything that was important to her, even when she’s tired and lonely and mad. 

BUT. a healthy Lena—one who we were made to believe was finally freeing herself from Lex and Lillian, rising above the coping mechanisms she’d developed as an unwanted and emotionally neglected child? i don’t think that Lena would (should?) have forgiven canon Kara at all.

after the rift, canon Kara flitted between telling Lena she’d lied to her ‘to protect you’ to ‘one person who sees me only as Kara’ to ‘your last name’ to ‘didn’t want to lose you’ until she literally told Lena she was on her own, and she’d treat her like any other villain until Lena repented, even rejecting her apology at first, as if Kara’s own decisions had played no part in Lena’s downward spiral at all.

the Kara Lena would have forgiven is the much more cohesive and coherent Kara brought to us by our talented fix-it writers: a Kara who is willing to let herself be vulnerable and to second-guess her motivations, one who is able to put together a proper apology and actually listen to Lena's own. 

but, okay, lets table all of that. this is me trying really, really hard to entertain canon:

Kara and Lena’s friendship became painfully lopsided by season 3. i think that was, if i recall correctly, when the super-friends decided to trust Lena enough to regularly ask her for assistance—but not enough to let her be part of their in-group; it’s where they left Lena in the dark about the fact that her best friend had come close to plunging to her death right in front of Lena's eyes, and was actively still fighting for her life; where they tricked Lena into having an extremely personal conversation with J’onn, while he was wearing Kara’s features, only to make belly-laughing fun of her about it later. 

and even then, honestly, it might already have been too late. what about the aftermath of Jack’s death? was that season 2? Jack was Lena’s ex-everything, someone who genuinely loved her, who saw her through the fallout of Lex’s arrest. he was one of her last remaining friends, and Lena pressed the button to let him die in order to save Supergirl’s life. how would Lena knowing that Kara went through that with her, knowing Lena had chosen to save the life of her favorite person in addition to National City’s hero, have changed the way she felt about that horrible situation? that’s where that extremely wonderful heart-to-heart on the L-Corp couch happened, right? Kara swore she’d always be Lena’s friend—while keeping silent about the fact that she was there when Jack drew his last breath, that she had witnessed their final moments.

so—i really can’t tell you anon, i’m so sorry. the 100th episode already fabricated reasons why Kara couldn’t possibly come clean to Lena back when she made the conscious decision to be her friend (and not in a ‘keep your enemies close’ kind of way!), and i’m beginning to think that was the only moment Kara could have told Lena that would have kept her conscience completely clear. Kara should have made it part of her decision—either she was going to be Lena’s friend and give her the same trust Lena was giving her, or she would keep things professional, and keep her identity a secret from her. 

Kara tried to do both, and if i really think about it, i don’t believe that was ever fair.

[bloodyshadow1]

it's really weird that they didn't make Supercorp a thing, I say this as someone who watched season 2 and then stopped after the comiccon incident. maybe they refused to make it canon in the show because it was a middle finger to the toxic supercorp fans, and there were a lot of them. I wouldnt' even mind since the second crossover event made me leave the supercorp fandom in disgust, you know whne many of them cheered when and alternate version of Jimmy, a black man, was murdered by Nazi green arrow, because the writers had him get together with Lena, it was bad. Maybe there are other reasons but it's still just strange when you make their relationship the heart of the show and don't have them get together..., it's just weird.

Once upon a time was weird like that, their show had Emma, Regina, and Henry, Emma's biological son and Regina's adopted son, not to mention the fairy tale bullshit that connects the two of them, only for them not to get together.

But with Supercorp, it was something that developed naturally, neither of them had any chemistry with the men the writers tried to pair them up with, and it was horrible writing when they were together. Yet Kara and Lena's 'friendship' kept getting center stage in the series.

season 2 lena was abducted by the daxamites because she was brilliant and had been tricked into bringing them to earth. She's going to be forced to marry Kara's boyfriend because of his mother wanting her as a daughter

season 3 a huge part of the season was Lena and supergirl's relationship breaking down, though she was still friendly with Kara. She bought Kara's job for her and despite Lena getting together with James, the writers never tried to develop that relationship.

season 4 Lena is again a huge part of the story since Lex is the real big bad of the season. The big reveal of Kara being Supergirl to Lena is what was supposed to propel the next season's plot. After she shoots him he makes sure to reveal that Kara danvers is supergirl because he knows that nothing would hurt Lena more. You know her completely platonic friend lying to her is what sets her off the deep end to become a villain.

season 5 their relationship is what drives the plot completely now since Lena is going full villain mode. The writing isn't good, but the writers also couldn't stop the two of them from having chemistry.

Hell, the writers had to be aware because the entire 100th episode was about Kara and Lena's relationship. The entire premise of the episode is Kara getting to see clips of what would have happened with her relationship with lena if she told her she was supergirl at different times or just stayed away from her. Almost every time Kara tells her, there's stress in the relationship and things get worse, but they're all about Lena, 5 separate timelines and Kara can't think of anything she would rather change with her life than try and make things wright with Lena. By the end, the episode is supposedly telling us that Lena is a lost cause, but I don't know it wasn't that good of an episode to begin with. It doesn't change that the writers decided to focus on their landmark episode to focus on Lena and Kara's relationship

By the end Lena realizes that she was tricked by lex and joins the good guys, Kara is pissed at her for what she's done, but they eventually can work together again. When lex sends Kara to the Phantom zone Lena is distraught, more than anyone else, even Alex who at least had Kelly for comfort

Season 6 is about getting Kara back and finishing the show. They kill off Kara's temp love interest and Lena is shown to be so desperate to save Kara that she's willing to go farther than Alex, her loving sister, to get her back. Even at the end of the series, the last scene of two characters on screen having a conversation of the series, is between the two of them at a lesbian wedding, where they're in tears talking about how much they mean to each other and hug.

it is bizarre that the writers didn't have the two of them get together given how much the series was driven by their relationship. Like I said, if it was a middle finger to toxic supercorp fans I would understand, but as an aspiring writer, not even a shipper, I feel insulted about how the supergirl writers just tossed aside the perfect natural relationship in the show.

I don't want to keep going much longer, but thematically Kara and Lena were one of the best relationships in the show. The actor's chemistry between the two of them was better than almost every relationship in the show, especially with any of either of their romantic partners. I dont' know, like I said I left the fandom pretty early and the shows been over for almost 3 years, but it still just baffles me.

[arrow-v-flash-polls]

who had the Best 100th ep

invasion (arrow

what is past is prologue (flash

wvrd error 100 (lot

its a super Life (supergirl

Not every show makes it to 100 episodes but these four did, so which one had the best episode to mark the occasion?

Thank you for the suggestion anon. This should be an interesting result.

[mariesbee]

Saw your post about starting to watch Supergirl and I'm so glad you love Lena so much! (Luthors do it better!) And as for the Supercorp of it all, there are some very gut wrenching moments as far as their friendship goes, but I would stick it out if you love that kind of rollercoaster. Their friendship is one of the most compelling aspects of the show, and as such is given a lot of time and obstacles to make it interesting. The 100th episode especially is very Supercorp centric and just remember that Kara's motto...Stronger Together is a through line to the very end.

omg hi! sry, this ask got lost! you're so right Luthors do it better! (except for smallville lionel, hate that mf even if he does get a redemption arc later on. idc)

i've started the show, still s1 tho and i'm loving it so far (i love kara she's sweet and so new to the whole superhero thing) dw the more gut wrenching a friendship the better it is (pure suffering but i'm gonna watch it till the end) and now that you told me about ep100 i'll be anticipating it SO much, can't wait!

[wonderbutch]

happy four year anniversary of supergirl’s 100th episode “It’s a Super Life” ! shoutout to kara zor-el for trying to bend and change reality multiple times to get lena luthor to be her best friend again 📼 <3

[the-ill-omen-of-hope]

The Rookie: Season 6 episode 2 Thoughts

1. Haters are going to hate. I have decided to not hate anymore. Maybe they don’t have the best chemistry at time, and maybe Bailey Nune can be a bit too Mary Sue/supergirl sometimes (understandable since John is our righteous MC and there’s not time to explore everyone’s backstory), but after that wedding vows? They’re meant to be, I don’t want no breakup, and they should just continue their corny love story because they both deserve it.

Sometimes we need a sprinkle of goodness, bland domesticity and healthy communication in our lives and Bailey/Nolan is that. Leave the traumatic heartbreaks roller coaster to Chenford, one is enough to derail my mental health (bonus point this episode for communication between Chenford, bravo you guys!).

2. Celina Juarez, you think it was a good idea to pick up a felon (by yoursefl!) who told you he was being hunted in the middle of the night without backup or even a heads up to another cop? Really? Really? You're lucky I was too busy laughing at Nolan throwing a guy out the window to be mad at you again.

-----

Overall, along with the come back of Cop Cuties as a cold opening, this episode is one of my favourite episode ever. It's such a cute way to celebrate their 100th episode and I'm excited for season 7. Apparently there is a cliffhanger for season 6 though so I'm slightly worried.

Bonus: John Nolan looking devilishly handsome

14, 17 and 20 for Supergirl?

SALT TIME 🧂

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

Hm, I'm not sure, really. To speak about the SC fandom specifically, I think within the fandom there is a tendency to view the fandom as Amazing and Creative and Beset From All Sides by Vicious Homophobes and from outside of the fandom there is a tendency to view the fandom as Obnoxious and Whiny and Full of Racists and I think the truth lies somewhere in between.

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

OK -- here's my pitch for how to end the 100th episode, assuming the rest of 5A played out as it did (though you could also tweak this to fit a better 5A lol). Have the "plead the fifth" timeline be the last timeline, after the Metallo Lena timeline. (If you need Kara to try more timelines before the Metallo Lena one to justify the attempt to cut herself out of Lena's life entirely, that's easy enough to imply with a quick montage + cutting down the action sequences in that timeline.) Have it go pretty much perfectly. No kidnapping Lena to force Kara to reveal herself this time. Instead, things are just peachy, and Lena even shows up at Kara's apartment for movie night. Hooray! Friendship fixed!

But Kara realizes this new timeline is just another deception, of both herself and Lena. She tells Lena that this isn't real...and Lena says she knows. It is revealed that Mxy approached Lena as well with the offer to see what her life would be like if Kara had told her the truth sooner. Lena asks Kara why she had to lie and says everything could've been perfect. Kara says she knows, and she's sorry. Lena says she's sorry too, but so what? That doesn't fix anything. Kara acknowledges this; she says she wishes she could magically undo it and make the pain go away, but she now realizes she can't. Lena reluctantly concedes that she's right, confessing that that's all she wanted as well from Non Nocere, to make the pain stop, but she now sees it would never work.

Kara calls for Mxy, saying she's done playing around with alternate timelines, and Lena asks if they have to go back. Kara says she wishes she had done things differently, but the truth is that she didn't, and they have to face reality and what they've both done to each other instead of hiding in another lie. Lena says she knows. As Mxy's reality starts disintegrating around them, Kara holds out her hand and asks if Lena will be there in the real world when they wake up from the fantasy. Lena takes her hand and says she will.

At last, they disintegrate as well, and Kara wakes up back in her apartment. Alex and J'onn are there, but Mxy is not; they ask what happened. Kara hugs them and tells them she loves them and is glad they're okay, but that she has somewhere to be. She ducks out of the apartment and ends up on the other side of Lena's door. Lena opens it and Kara says hi. Lena says hi too, then steps aside to let Kara in.

...Look, it doesn't fix everything, they will need to have Conversations, but at this point in the season both Non Nocere and them not speaking to each other were well and truly played out, so this at least addresses those issues in a suitably dramatic fashion.

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?

See now this is a fascinating question because how are we defining "pure"? 'Untarnished,' I suppose -- but by what? Unhealthiness? I suspect that the go-to answer for many would be Dansen, but given that their relationship's veneer of healthiness seems to largely be a result of Kelly not being given the space (or screentime) to have Inconvenient Emotions or to be a full person at all, I'm not so sure I'd call that "pure."

S1 Karolsen might be another option -- they're sweet and supportive of each other and they handle conflict much better than their sisters do, with James actually challenging Kara and Kara actually listening (again, in S1, before Kara decides that actually James should always do what she says and she never has to take his advice). Then again, they're afflicted by the tedious love triangle nonsense that leaves Lucy out in the cold and has the unintended consequence of making Kara into 'the other woman,' which is perhaps not so "pure."

There's Brainia, I suppose, who are very cute, although they suffer from persistent communication issues. Or Spheercorp, which is similarly sweet, although it does end with Lena being forced to literally kill Jack, leaving one half of the ship dead and the other traumatized for life. Reigncorp might actually be the best bet here; they're supportive of each other, good at handling conflict, and no one dies. Still, it strikes me as funny to call a relationship between a morally gray billionaire and her friend who she had to lock away in a kryptonite cell to contain her evil alter ego "pure." Mostly though I just think any answer I can give to this question is not nearly as interesting as the implications of the question itself.

[lenakluthor]

What's your favorite Supergirl episode?

What's your favorite SuperCorp moment?

i think my favorite episode has gotta be it's a super life (5x13, the 100th episode) because one: hello it's all about supercorp and two: i fucking love mxyzptlk. i've only seen the show once (curerntly working my way through my first rewatch), but i specifically went back to rewatch that episode one day just to cheer myself up. i did also really enjoy 2x12- luthors because i am nothing if not a slut for lena and that one had it all (including kara doing The Most to protect and prove lena's innocence)

my favorite supercorp moment is probably the scene when they're in lena's office and kara tells her she will always protect her and will always be her friend because i mean, come ON that's the gayest shit i've ever seen. but in all honestly, i don't know their scenes well enough to pick a favorite just yet bc i feel like there's probably more later on that i'm forgetting about.

[richardgrimes]

bi buck/feelings for eddie confirmation on the 100th episode would be a gauze over the gaping wound that was the 100th episode of supergirl being about kara and lena and then never going canon

[ao3feed-supercorp]

True Colors

Stronger Together. The words truly meant nothing to her now, not with what she now knew. Mxyzptlk had tried to help her, to find a better, earlier time to come out to Lena. But, it was all for naught. It seemed that Kara and Lena weren’t destined to be together. Lena would always end up suffering and it would always be Kara’s fault. Kara supposes that she should’ve looked at it with a little more optimism, she was the Paragon of Hope, after all. But, after seeing that other version of Lena walking around with kryptonite in her chest, well, there wasn’t an ounce of hope left in the Kryptonian.
