In the comics, Mon-El is just the name Clark gives him. He eventually remembers his name is Lar Gand and takes the hero name of Valor.

So when Winn said James would become someone else when he put on the suit, how many people filled in something else?

I'm still peeved over the whole nuclear power plant sequence. I guess if you can assume the writers are going for the 80's Christopher Reeve movie era logic - it works just fine in that context.

Berlanti and Co. do sometimes rely on Silver Age-style pseudoscience. See, for instance, Captain Cold being able to freeze laser beams on Flash.

It's pretty much how Superman beat him the first time in the cartoon, only there he used a chunk of kryptonite, but same basic deal

And they handled that so much better than the do on The Flash. Kara was so apologetic that she had to blow him up.

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.

Alternatively he just got literally all his Martian blood sucked out of him by Parasite so maybe he's just weakened by that.

Guess we'll find out soon!

Episode was pretty good save for a few small things.

Put some color on that suit, Jimmy. Blue and Gold preferably, but it's way way too monotone at this point. I'm guessing that since he took it out early they'll settle that later, but it looked too bland.

When Guardian deflects the first blow and sends Parasite reeling looked really, really lovely. I get that the shield probably has some vibranium ultra-reflective unobtainium, but Jimmy just holds his arm up and there's no impact or movement. A big part of making CG not suck is the little details like that.

Jimmy not coming clean about his identity as Guardian is just... crappy. I don't buy any reason he could have for keeping it from her after all the stuff they've gone through together and individually. It's just a dick move for added drama. Bonus points that Winn deliberately put lead in it just to keep Kara from spying him apparently and then has a "we're not going to tell Kara?" moment. Seriously, why else did you put lead in there? Probably so he punches Mon El at some point and infects him.

Kara drunk was the best thing all season, though. And Chyler Leigh remains a high point of acting.

We're getting actual Cyborg Superman, right? So if Guardian is a Steel analog and Mon El is a Superboy analog, are we getting Eradicator also?

Not the next one, but the one after that (Nov. 28th), and only for like the final scene of that episode. Barry and Cisco apparently just swoop in at the last second to recruit Kara for the Arrowverse crossover. That said, we are getting a pair of proper Flash/Supergirl crossover episodes later in the season.

Season 6 of Supergirl's almost certainly going to have a Darkseid playing hangman with Metron to work out the Anti-Life Equation, and he gets stuck on "B A R R _ A L L E _".

The synopsis of next week's episode:
While Guardian (Mehcad Brooks) tries to clear his name after being accused of a murder committed by another vigilante, Supergirl heads out on a solo mission to rescue Mon-El (Chris Wood) who has been captured by CADMUS. While fighting to free Mon-El, Supergirl comes face to face with Cyborg Superman.

so, yes.

What was supposed to be the moral takeaway of this episode?

Options include: Don't be a climate change believer, you'll turn into a monster and/or get killed. Don't be gay, you'll only get rejected. Don't help homeless people, you'll only get abducted. Be a climate change denier, they're rich and have nice shoes.

I kind of expect Kara to try to read Maggie the riot act in an episode or two, only to get shut down with "So her coming out means she's entitled to get in my pants?" and/or Maggie admitting she's into Alex but wanted Alex to be sure of herself and not treat her like an 'experiment' or something.

I wonder, are they even going to address the whole thing with Daxamites and lead?

I don't mind the idea of them changing things up for the story, but I figured they would have alluded to something by now, what with Guardian's getup being covered in it.

Or Kara goes for it. Next time, on Supergirl:

By the way this isn't as crazy as it sounds. I mean yeah we probably won't have to deal with The Thing style abominations but a bunch of people in Russia got infected with a weird strain of anthrax from a reindeer carcass preserved under arctic ice.

Well, CADMUS does have Alex's father as a hostage and implied they were using him as a test subject, so it's possible. Really though, I suspect it's just another excuse to get Tyler Hoechlin back on the show. Because god please we need more excuses to get Tyler Hoechlin back on the show.

Cadmus seems like a good place to fill the show with easter eggs, even if they're never amount to anything.

"Oh here's a ship we found and it had this alien with a ring on in it". "Look at this weird Box we found"

I wish i knew more about Cosmic CD outside of Green Lantern and New Gods stuff. I dunno, Grifters mask? Adam Strange's jetpack?

I don't think this is the sort of show that's just gonna tease stuff. I fully expect a Legion of Super Heroes plotline in season 3.

Kind of like the cabin on Constantine was going to be? We saw Fate's helmet but other artifacts were supposed to show up eventually. Maybe at Cadmus we can see a stuffed and mounted Detective Chimp.

First of all, Wolverine satire, not rip off. Secondly, yeah, if they're willing to make the Silver Banshee look like the comics regardless of how stupid that looked, I want them to make Lobo look exactly like Simon Bisley drew him.

Yup, it was dumb as gently caress. It pretty much screamed that DC had no idea what the hell they were doing with their comics and over all tone deaf because people liked the Wolverine homage character that smoked cigars and road around space on a motorcycle.
