Supergirl Season 1 Report Card

There was a lot of hype leading up to Supergirl Season 1, did it live up to your expectations?

Kara learned to embrace her powers and took on some formidable foes with the help of her sister and friends. She started off rocky, but soon grew into the hero she was always meant to be.

We are taking a look at the season's best and worst episodes, the most heartbreaking moment, the biggest question mark, and our hopes for Supergirl Season 2 should the series be renewed.

Take a look at our report card and then let us know if you agree!

1. Best Episode

It's a tie! We couldn't decide between these two equally great but very different episodes. Melissa Benoist really showed her range and she and Chyler Leigh nearly had us in tears after Supergirl was hit with the Red Kryptonite on Supergirl Season 1 Episode 16. While that one was dark and dramatic, Supergirl Season 1 Episode 18 was easily the funniest and most lighthearted installment of the season. We loved every second of The Flash's visit!

2. Worst Episode

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 17 had the bad luck of falling smack dab in the middle of the two best episodes, so it felt a little disappointing. While we learned some interesting tidbits including how Jeremiah saved J'onn from the flashbacks, the installment as a whole felt slow and uneventful.

3. Best Cat-ism

All four of you standing there doing nothing, you look like the attractive yet non-threatening racially diverse cast of a CW show.

Cat has had some great one-liners, hasn't she? Just about everything that comes out of her mouth is pure gold. It's hard to choose a favorite, but this one was just so spot-on that we had to pick it.

4. Moment That Had Us Rolling Our Eyes

The explanation of why Superman fell to Myriad on Supergirl Season 1 Episode 19 felt a little convenient. The rules of Myriad did not seem very consistent, and it was all a little confusing. Superman being the only one who didn't get his mind back on Supergirl Season 1 Episode 20 also felt forced.

5. Most Heartbreaking Moment

Alex pleading with Kara to remember her life on Earth on Supergirl Season 1 Episode 13 really tugged at our heartstrings. How could it not? She was forced with the task of ripping Kara away from her home and her parents a second time, but it was the only way to save her life. Her reaction when she thought she had been pulled out too soon was also devastating, but thankfully she was able to save her sister.

6. "Trippiest" Origin Story

Remember when Siobhan literally tripped and fell into her powers? And then she caught herself from dying with a scream? Thankfully we received somewhat of an explanation of where her powers came from, but that was still an odd way to watch a normal human develop a super power. It wasn't much of a super power either, and Siobhan turned out to be a pretty weak villain.

7. Unresolved Sexual Chemistry

Alex can do much better than the morally ambiguous Maxwell Lord, but there's still no denying the sparks flying between them. Who knows whether their building chemistry will ever get resolved, but if it does, it's sure to be hot!

8. Biggest Daddy Issues

Sure Kara and Alex are about to embark on a journey to find their father who has been missing for all these years, but that still doesn't compare to what Winn has with his murderous father. The creepy Toyman broke out of prison, kidnapped his son, and tried to turn him into a murderer as well. Thankfully, this is not a "like father, like son" scenario.

9. Best Hug-It-Out Moment

Alex had no choice but to kill Astra to save J'onn, but J'onn insisted on taking the blame to protect Alex. The secret was eating her up inside though, and eventually she had to come clean to her sister. It was a huge relief to see Kara pull her into a hug, and incredibly sweet when she also reached out for J'onn's hand. We knew Kara would forgive them!

10. Most Convoluted Storyline

We spent a good amount of the season wondering what exactly Myriad was, and when we finally found out, well, we were left with a lot of questions. There was not much explanation on exactly how this thing worked. The basic jist was that all the humans would be mindless zombies forced to spend their days trying to solve the world's problems. However, as Max pointed out, mind control is not the way to solve global warming. Also, apparently all that was needed to take down this complicated plan was hope.

11. Biggest Question Mark

Does Cat know that Kara is Supergirl? She was convinced of it once, but then J'onn stepped in to disuade her. However, as the season continued, there have been more and more hints that she secretly knows. For one, she figured out Barry was the Flash very quickly, and she promoted Kara to a more flexible position at the end of the season. We all know how smart Cat is, so we would not be surprised if she figured it out and is keeping it under wraps.

12. Hopes for Season 2

First and foremost is that we get a season 2. Assuming we do, we want to see more of the bad-ass J'onn J'onzz that ripped Indigo in two. We're also looking forward to the hunt for Project Cadmus and the eventual reunion between the Danvers women and Jeremiah. We're ready to move on from Non and onto bigger, badder villains. We want to see Maxwell Lord pick a side once and for all. Finally, we want to know what is in that pod!
