Supergirl season 3 episode 1 the show6/24/2023 Yet, if she sees Supergirl as a symbol of strength, it’s also a symbol of detachment, like a shield. As Kara laments to Alex, Psi stole part of her. ![]() ![]() Kara’s encounters with the psychic aren’t just traumatic because they involve reliving upsetting events the very act of having one’s mind invaded is its own kind of trauma. Namely, it explores the idea of connection. Even if it fails her as a character, the episode uses Psi in an interesting way thematically. Instead, she barely registers, failing to intimidate or charm. Considering her abilities and backstory in the comics, Psi had potential to be one of those villains. But the most compelling villains, whether they last an episode or a season, feel less like obstacles to overcome than people with stories. It makes sense that Supergirl wouldn’t want to spend a ton of effort developing a one-off character. ![]() She has no motive besides greed (“You see, money equals happiness”) and power-hunger (“Fear is the only weapon that matters”). She plays Gayle Marsh, aka Psi, a bank robber who induces intense fear in the people around her, leaving them paralyzed while she escapes.Īs much as I enjoy watching Grobglas strut and smirk, Psi feels thinly drawn. Nice to see you, Yael Grobglas! The Israeli actress, whom viewers might recognize from fellow The CW series Jane the Virgin, appears here as our villain-of-the-week.
