Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
This year’s Arrowverse crossover is fast approaching. It seems as though this week is ushering in a wave of plot-driven episodes designed to prep these shows both for “Crisis on Earth-X” and the midseason finales that will follow. Given how Legends of Tomorrow is the only one of the four that really seems to have found its groove so far, that’s definitely a good thing. And “Wake Up” certainly helps kick Supergirl’s third season into gear, even if it makes a few questionable choices along the way.
Obviously, the big news this week involved the return of Chris Wood’s Mon-El, a character who’s been keeping pretty darned busy since his disappearance at the end of Season 2. Before I get into my problems with how Mon-El’s return was handled, I do want to focus on how well the reunion between he and Kara was handled. This episode included two very emotionally charged scenes, first with Kara coming face-to-face with her long-lost boyfriend in the spaceship and then when she began to realize the depth of his deception. That latter scene in particular was extremely well-acted. As much as I’m still ambivalent about the darker tone of Season 3, there’s no denying that Melissa Benoist has really made the most of this bleak phase in Kara’s life. You can really feel that combination of hurt, confusion and rage rolling off of her. And while Wood’s performance was comparatively more subdued, there was a nice, quiet agony to his performance as well.
