Supergirl’s fourth season continues as Thanksgiving approaches and the cast has to answer the “Call to Action.”

One of the great things about science fiction is that you can use it to illustrate social issues without being preachy about it. If you do it right, anyway. Supergirl, for most of this season, feels like they’re clubbing us over the head with the idea.
The DEO and their allies are dealing with the ramifications of last episode as they deal with more events in “Ahimsa.” Supergirl is out cold and in her new armor as the others look on worriedly.
Supergirl’s writers fooled me pretty well with the title of this episode. Given the world she’s part of, you have certain expectations when you see “Man of Steel.”
While it could mean a lot of different things when superheroes are involved, “Fallout” deals with the aftermath of President Marsdin being outed as an alien on Supergirl.
The Girl of Steel returns, bringing along several new characters, as Supergirl’s 4th season starts off with “American Alien.”
This is a season finale. So there will likely be spoilers in this review. Bear that in mind before reading.
I’ve been saying this season of Supergirl wasn’t that good. In “Make It Reign,” I only had to wait for the first scene to wonder who was writing this nonsense.
Last episode ended on a serious cliffhanger/start of a fight, and “Not Kansas” picks up in exactly that spot. Supergirl and Mon-El, just back from their unexpected Argo City vacation, arrive just in time for a major fight with Reign in Lena’s lab.
Taking a break from the urgency of the World Killers, even if this mission is related, Supergirl works towards her season finale with “Dark Side of the Moon.”
