Against my better wishes (I blame @strongertogetherfancast) I have rewatched the Supergirl pilot and though I did not cry, I did get teary-eyed and my body was vibrating at inadvisable speeds. I love that stupid show 😠
Even just this shot is enough to give me chills. I've watched it countless times and I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting to see what's going to happen, if she's going to be alright… Then later it's if she's going to save the plane, if she's going to get in trouble at work, if her and Alex are going to be alright. This show did go to hell further down the line, but one thing that's undeniable is how good the characters are, well-rounded, how much you feel for them when you watch the show. I started watching this show for a variety of reasons but this, this hug right here, is what made me stay. I loved the Danvers Sisters on sight.
(And I think a Kara hug could fix me)
And the plane scene ! Shitty screenshot but you can see Kara's hands digging into the plane, you can feel the weight of it ! And even though it's an action packed scene that have you on the edge of your seat, I think perhaps the best thing about it is when she sees the bridge and goes "come on !" because you suddenly have this little bit of comic relief that says so much about who Kara is.
And Alex noticing her baby sister out the window will never not be funny. She really went "what kind of idiot would try to catch a plane ? Fuck, that's my idiot"
Another thing entirely but Kara looks so young throughout this episode 😭 She's such a baby 😭
More Danvers Sisters because I can : Alex's face when Kara lets go of her hand at the DEO makes me feel unwell.
Kara is quasi-invulnerable but she's still her baby sister !
(Side note, I think this episode is one of the only ones where we see Alex actually wearing a helmet when she goes out on DEO stuff, after that, she stopped caring about protecting her head I guess 🤷)
And I need to learn how to make gifs because this scene right there where Kara reaches out for Alex's hand when they watch her mother's hologram GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME
Some random thoughts now because I do not remember where I was going when I started this post :
I always forget how much I miss Cat because we got so many amazing characters in later seasons but, fuck, I miss Cat.
Kara's kitchen is so messy and I want to reach through the screen and tidy that shit up. Also, early signs of Alex's problematic relationship with alcohol which will then never be really addressed !
Season 4 is really funny when you remember that back in season 1 EVERYONE at the DEO knew Supergirl was Kara Danvers 🙄
Shirt rip ! I missed the shirt rip !
Ugh. I might have to rewatch the whole show 😒
