Supergirl's fight scenes are normally the weakest part of this series, an airbrush of action and physical denouement that polishes off an otherwise arresting human drama. But this week, we saw more than the usual random Swiss Army extensions of Supergirl's various abilities. We saw her absolute core.
In "Red Faced" (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/35209-s01e06-red-faced/?view=getnewpost), Supergirl is forced to address her inner rage. The narrative devices used to set up these insights into her emotional state might be clumsy, but they work. In the opening scene, she confronts a road rage nut who almost kills a bunch of kids. Supergirl is provoked by the man's subsequent complaints about damage to his BMW, his idiotic sense of entitlement. She hurts him. A media frenzy ensues.
The story is no longer about a rich fool almost slaughtering a sixth grade soccer team, it's about a woman losing her temper. Maxwell Lord (a recurring tech mogul semi-villain) is on hand to castigate her actions as the headlines blare, "Supergirl Scares Young Children".
