My Review of My Adventures With Superman: "All's Fair In Love And W.O.R.M.S."

Giganta (to Jimmy): "My friends call me Gigi but you call me Giganta."

Why are we getting a prominent Wonder Woman villain in an episode and not even having a reference to Diana herself? It's a valid concern, right? Anyways, hello Gigi.

Jimmy Olsen took a huge chunk of the story this week and all because Kara decided to take his advice about exploring her options as a single woman. This meant Jimmy throwing his lot in with W.O.R.M.S. (World Organization for Romantic Matchmaking Science), which was ran by Zazzala and Tazzala respectively.

Anyways, Jimmy's exploits into this particular dating field had him mostly paired with Giganta. For some reason, she turned him into a wolf and when he was cured, he developed spaghetti arms and then when he was properly cured, Giganta decided to recreate that one scene everyone knows from King Kong until Superman and Zazzala/Tazzala saved the day.

Elsewhere, Kara was having the time of her life being in such demand on another dating app while discovering the joys of a mall. Lois spent most of the episode being anxious about the way her relationship with Clark has progressed. There's also a musical number that didn't quite land.

Of course the biggest shocker of the episode was the future trip. Yup, another alien invasion in Metropolis but where's Superman? Dead seemingly. Saying that, there's a bald Lex Luthor trying to do the right thing by sending Superboy (Darren Criss) back in time to prevent the disaster they're living in.

- Lois was a fan of Black Canary's music, which Supergirl discovered.
- Clark trying to work on his model farm was cute. We saw a Krypto looking dog.
- Cyborg Superman's hero career was over after his altercation with Silver Banshee backfired on him.
- Chronology: Shortly after the events of the second episode.

All's Fair In Love And W.O.R.M.S was a pretty solid episode overall with the last scene really setting up the events for the rest of the season.

Rating: 7 out of 10
