After much trepidation ahead of its debut, CBS Supergirl has now reached its mid-season break. Safe to say, the show has been solid, if not spectacular. Throughout the first half of the Melissa Benoist-starrer, many a question has been thrown up. Keeping with tradition, that was exactly the same with this latest outing, Hostile Takeover. With Karas evil aunt Astra turning up at the end of the previous episode, that serves as a main focal point of this entry. Whats particularly interesting about this strand of Hostile Takeover is that it gives us a rare glimpse into the final days of Krypton and the relationship between a young Kara and her beloved aunt. Obviously, by this point in the game things are a little different in the modern day, what with Astra now intent of seemingly cleansing Earth. Elsewhere, we find Cat Co in turmoil as Cat Grants e-mails are hacked, revealing certain secrets about one of the shows most enjoyable characters (she apparently dated John Stamos and has tried her luck with Idris Elba). By the time this mid-season finale comes to a close, we were all left with many a question as the Girl of Steel awaits her return next year.
