Alex was definitely the most compelling narrative in the episode. I'm pretty bummed out for her right now.

Guardian's suit was pretty sweet, though. Much better than Spartan's on Arrow.

Wow Kara all high and mighty on Mon El because he doesn't want to be a hero.

Jesus this last episode was nucking futs! Alex came out to Kara as gay, J'onn J'onzz got a blood transfusion from a WHITE Martian, and James Olson parading around in a lead-lined suit to keep his identity a secret from Supergirl. And the surprise ending where Mon-El gets tased and taken away by Cadmus was insane.

Hmm, my personal copy of the Gay Handbook says it's a bad idea to get with people who are still in the closet, but it's okay to get with people who just came out. Maybe Maggie has a newer edition.

The actual Guardian effects are not too bad but the helmet needs like seven revisions. And I still think the writing for this plot continues to be the weakest part of the season. It practically feels like the actors are having to improv most of it to fill in the awkward moments. Which is, like, every moment.

Wasn't Mon-El supposed to be a palace guard on Planet Turtleneck Daxam? Why is he so bad at fighting?

Pretty strong episode in spite of those nitpicks, mostly due to Alex and M'gann's stuff. Ever since Glee ended I've been missing my weekly intake of delicious queer tears in my TV shows.

So Kara Danvers, not as Supergirl, hangs out as Kara Danvers in an alien bar and people think she's an alien? Enough to buy her poisonous to human drinks?

Also, White Martian blood is compatible with Green Martian blood? You know even in humans, you can't just do that without checking first that the types are compatible between donor and receiver.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but these two things really bugged me. Melissa Benoist is still weapons grade adorable.

I guess Kara felt it was safe to hang out in the Alien bar as no one would out her. Also, I doubt anyone cares who Kara Danvers is.

Be fair, people who just came out can be obnoxious. I bet Alex will be cool, but I can't get mad at Maggie for fearing that Alex would want her to be a guide to being a lesbian, or going through the post coming out overcorrection phase and listening to Tegan and Sara all the time.

It's Steel. He's totally Steel. I mean, I know Guardian is a character, but he's a tall muscular black dude in an outfit literally made of steel and lead. Maybe they'll keep the New Superhero Name thing, but I really want them to just start calling him Steel.

Also loving hell, Alex finally gets the guts to come out and she's immediately shot down. Poor gal. That was brutal to watch. :smith:

But Tegan and Sara are good. I am a straight dude and I love me some lesbian twins indie pop.

Kara seriously is like a friend of mine, both of these I've seen her do. ONce when drunk she even tried to say chocolate in a very similar way. I think the writing team is spying on her. :tinfoil:

Just my guess so not actual spoilers, but it seems pretty obvious to me knowing how TV shows go that he's actually the prince, and just made up the last part of his escape story so he could prince and the pauper it up. It explains why he's an arrogant jerk who doesn't actually know how to do anything.

Also did I miss a line somewhere or did no one ever bring up the fact that he has the same last name as Kal and Kara? Considering how big of a deal the House of El thing usually is in the Superman mythos it seems kind of weird they just conveniently find another last survivor El. It would be like if there were three survivors from Earth who all just happened to be named Kennedy.

For that matter, why does Kara have a first name and then Zor-El as a last name, while the others are just Kal-El and Mon-El? Was she given that name on Earth, because I thought I remembered her mother calling her that before she got in the pod?

It's because comics are dumb a lot. Also, the 50s.

On Krypton, apparently, women take the full name of their fathers as their surnames. Kara's father is Zor-El (brother of Jor-El, Superman's dad), so her name is Kara Zor-El. Her mother's name is Alura In-Ze, so presumably Kara's grandfather's first name was "In" of the House of Ze. And Superman's mother's name is Lara Lor-Van...making her father Lor of the House of Van. You get the picture.

Guessing that there will be some incompatibility given his hand was shaking at the end of that scene. No one knows she's a white Martian anyway.
