What was good about the final season new trailer – Nxy of course and DANVERS SISTERS CONTENT FINALLY!!! What sucked about it – everything else. NO ONE WANTS GUARDIAN SHOW and also no one wants suited Alex, we’ve done global warming basically with Astra in season one so stop trying to give it to Kara’s dad unless he’s Nxy screwing with her because she remembers this being a thing with Astra and she’s somehow trying to break Kara by bringing up that loss…again it’s a lot of flash but not a lot to really get hyped on sadly for me.
On to the podcast…
Maid Of Steel will come to an end also this year. ???
CGI has not been a problem this season a it’s the writing and characterizations because very few of our beloved heroes are still who we can see each week. I understand the idea of character evolution but tell me in what world it makes sense for Kelly to be Guardian after she hated on the identity so hard in season four? There’s evolution and then there’s assassination out of intent or not caring and I’m not sure which is happening here now but both are bad! *sigh*
It’s good they remembered the heart of the series is the Danvers sister, but still a shame it took them half the final season to actually show content for them. I know Melissa was out for new things but still they could have done more. And okay Kara isn’t ALL Alex has in her life, but still she’s a big part and Alex is supposedly your second lead so again I say they could have handled screen time for elements better.
Again Zor better not be real because it just kills Kara’s origin story; she says everyone she loved died but literally half her planet is left and both her parents are alive and so yeah that tension is just gone. They have to remember this also taints their beloved Superman lore as well because Clark is not the last and can literally learn whatever he wants whenever he wants if uncle Zor is around; it’s just better Zor is an image from Nxy!
Lol to Bad Trash.
??? to Guardian Kelly; I will fight it forever just like I will fight the Alex suit forever!
How is Nia able to interact with her mother? Dream powers.
It is definitely sad that the series is ending so soon; it has so much potential I feel and sadly that’s what I’m going to remember it most for now beyond Alex being awesome – the wasted potential. 🙁 As an example, again Kelly – you could have shown the value of therapy and used sessions to expand characters in emotional growth or solidify their opinions and tease lore nuggets for them but what do they do? They made her Guardian even though she just just had a full year of saying that was a poor way to handle your feelings! They had a perfect chance to have a Luthor know from the start about a super and see how that effects things but what did they do? “Battle For Lena’s Soul”…it was never a battle as she was always good. They had a chance to have Mon not be just the worst when he came back by admitting he married Irma for love also and he’s sorry to Kara because this is still fresh for her but he has to interact with her because the future depends on it but what did they do? Almost make our girl a cheater which is NOT in her core DNA! Season one is the GOAT of course and season three is really good for Sam/Reign and even season two has its moments with Lena and Alex’s AMAZING coming out storyline, but beyond that there’s just so much more they easily could have done but didn’t and it’s sad. Again I think that’s part of what’s so maddening about it ending soon, these improvements were easy to do but they just went the other way. 🙁 I don’t know how much these played a part in things but it’s just sad to think how we could have had the series at its best for longer if they just tried more and yeah…I still adore the series for the characters and season one but I will always have it in my mind now as a series of potential not fully met for strange reasons.
They should spin off Alex because she was their second lead and it would give them an anti hero series to break up all the “good guy” hero character shows but I suspect they’ll just move Nia to Legends and that will be how we continue.
Saw trailer. Not happy.

I saw the trailer. Trashman Doomsday. Zor-el as Astra 2.0. Nyxie being a poutz. Nia and Mom was okay. Lena was passable. Couch moment looks passable, Satellite could be Claymore’s brother.
Otherwise, I am not happy. Even the kangaroos are frowning.
Monty
Welcome back Monty! ?
I totally thought about the Watchtower myself seeing the satellite because it looks like the shell of it, maybe that’s how they get the Watchtower or nod to it! But yes, I feel a lot of repeat plots going on with this trailer…I guess this is their attempt to “pay tribute to the first season” but I’m sorry Zor is not Astra so please stop with that plot now! I have seen some BTS stuff from Nicole which shows more of the Guardian suit and it doesn’t look completely horrible but still NNNOOO to that plot; I know it’s coming but I will never support it.
I’m glad others are excited by the trailer but it’s still not doing anything for me; I enjoyed Nxy and the Danvers sisters content but I still don’t see myself enjoying season six and I don’t have hopes for the series to end on a satisfying note for me but we’ll see what happens!
Watchtower in orbit? Ehhh. I’ll have to wait and see.
I always thought jerk-Zor was “real” from the PZ story-arc. I am not certain if my impression is correct.
The new “hero” puzzles me.
The Guardian suit only obscures the Olsen as ‘Guardian’ problem. So it still sucks as bad writing.
The kangaroos are laughing at me.

Sounds like Derek Simon when he clears his throat.
More later. 😉
