Superman (to Kara): "I know what it's like to be alone. To search for a place you belong but home isn't a place. Home is the people who love you, so come back to us, Kara."
I can definitely say that this second season has not only maintained the standard of the first season but has gone above and beyond. For this finale, I think we got one of the loveliest depictions of family that we've had in a Superman property.
At the end of the previous, it appeared as though Brainiac had not only defeated both Superman and Supergirl but it looked like he was about to enslave Metropolis. Of course, Superman and Supergirl were still alive, so Brainiac had to work harder in order to bring both of them down.
For Superman, it was giving him some home truths about the last days of Krypton and with Kara, it was preying on her insecurities. It almost worked with Kara falling victim to Brainiac's power but Superman, Lous and Jimmy were the ones to bring her back to the side of good. Let's just say, Superman's speech about home really struck a chord, a big one for Kara. Adding both Lois and Jimmy in that scene made it even better.
As for Brainiac's defeat, it was glorious to see. Having both Superman and Supergirl, the citizens of Metropolis, Daily Planet, A.R.G.U.S. and even some past villains such as Heat Wave, Silver Banshee, Livewire and Intergang working together for a common cause. Now this was the type of inspiration that Superman can really have with the right writing.
Capping off the season, Brainiac and Kandor are out of the picture and Kara has settled into Metropolis. It was great seeing Jonathan and Martha essentially adopt but the last scene with Superman, Supergirl, Lois and Jimmy all flying off together to save the day. It was a great way to end this season and would've served as a great series finale had the show not been renewed for a third season.
- Amanda Waller found herself on the run by the end of this episode. I did like her "complicated" reunion with Sam.
- Lex might have lost control of the Metallos but he did set up LexCorp and gained Deathstroke as an ally.
- Supergirl's new suit was very much the same as Superman's. I'd fix the shoulder pads on both tbh.
- Chronology: From where the previous episode left off.
Overall, the second season has been a blast and My Adventures With Supergirl was a great ender for a very enjoyable run of episodes. I'm really glad that we're getting another season of this show.
