Supergirl's not wasting any time this season exploring its new characters, or its returning characters in their new situations.

One nice thing about "Triggers" is just how many female characters it puts front and center.

The delightfully evil woman [J'onn] muses that fear is a powerful tool and uses her power to take Kara back to the time she was most scared in her life.

Kara's relationship with Mon-El helped show the importance of her human life, but having Supergirl continually pine over a boy really undercuts the strong female role model the show is constantly marketing.

"Triggers" wasn't fantastic, but it provided some solid subplots which carried the episode.

4.5/5

We got to dig into the everyday lives of Sam and Ruby. The writers are obviously trying to make us fall in love with this mother/daughter duo before they rip the rug right out from under us.
