Supergirl Season 1: 10 Big Questions From 'Human For A Day'

1. What Does Astra Have In Mind?

One of the biggest gripes with Supergirl is how it€™s handled Astra. When it was revealed at the end of the first episode that the €˜big bad€™ of the season was to be Kara€™s aunt, who just so happens to be the identical twin of Kara€™s deceased mother, the anticipation was amped as to when Kara would eventually find out about this and what emotional impact it would have on our Girl of Steel. Then she found out. As in by the next episode. Oh, OK then€ Since then, Astra€™s barely been referenced, yet she turned up with a couple of goons right at the end of Human for a Day. What does this evil aunt have in store for our heroine as the show enters its mid-season finale? Here€™s hoping for something explosive next week.
