It doesn't help that Arrow did almost this exact story with Vigilante last week. Also, a fist fight between a dude holding a shield, and another with a machine gun strapped to his arm looks janky as all hell.

Kara mentioned Superman teaming up with a vigilante who used gadgets.

While obviously they couldn't just call Hank "Cyborg" calling him Cyborg Superman kind of doesn't make sense. Seeing as he doesn't look like Superman.

They did a Bizarro Supergirl last season, doing another clone may seem a little weird. I am a little uncertain what the current status of Bizarro SG is, but Cadmus trying to correct her instead of creating a new clone could work. You don't want to have too many clones running around, use the ones you have already.

"Surprise, muthafucka."
The part with Supergirl at Cadmus made no loving sense and was so contrived. Once they let her out of the Nth metal cage to put the helmet on she could've just taken them all out. Sigh.

The thing Mon-El was about to tell her might be about the enemy in the crossover. Apparently, there's some connection to Daxxum.

The "I'm Cyborg Superman" line was super cheesy and unnecessary, but they probably wouldn't just call him Cyborg or The Cyborg to avoid confusion with the other Cyborg that's about to be introduced to people who have no idea about him in a movie.

I was thinking about Bizarro Supergirl - has there been any word whether Maxwell Lord will reappear as a guest star or something this season?

Are Non and Indigo still alive?

Non is real real dead IIRC. Indigo was ripped apart by J'onn, but since she's a Braniac Girl-Bot she could've uploaded a backup of herself somewhere or something.

I thought I'd read some comment about how Non getting blasting in the face with Supergirl's heat vision had left him brain damaged so that if he appeared again he would be mute, brutish Non from Superman II. I can't remember when I read that, though. :shrug:

I was sure I'd seen some season two trailer with Indigo in it but it might have just been footage from season one.

Cyborg Superman gonna hook up with Indigo. You heard it here first.

I hope J'onn finds a cure for catching White Martian AIDS, but only after learning a valuable lesson about racism and overcoming old grudges. Also that he's okay with Miss Martian turning green afterwards because White Martians on the show are ehhhhhnnnnn.

So Supergirl the show has limited involvement in the cross-over. The episode is mostly about this Medusa thing, and the last scene is going to be cross-over related somehow. Maybe the aliens come from Supergirl's dimension?

Supergirl the character is involved quite a bit, of course.

Okay, maybe it's not ice but Kryptonian crystals, and even if it is ice and collapses it's not like Superman couldn't just fly down and get it, but still.

Wasn't there Kryptonite around her cage? There was some kind of green lighting, I assumed that was what they were going for.

Medusa thing? Isn't that the thing that Cyborg Superman was trying to unlock in the Fortress of Solitude in the end of last week's episode? Sounds like the next episode is gonna be big with Cyborg Superman, Medusa thing, and the big multishow crossover at the end.

Nope. Mon-El just says it's Thanagarian Nth metal, impervious to feats of strength. Although, between this refrence and the Thanagarian bits in season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow, maybe we'll get some sort Thanagarian invasion.

When Cyborg Superman was asking about Medusa, I thought it was the name of the plot device at the end of Season 1. What was that called again?

Also I know this is way late but the Alex/Maggie plot pissed me off. Maggie was completely lovely to Alex, effectively giving her an ultimatum and forcing her to come out when she just seemed totally unsure of things herself. I get that they were going for ~drama~ or whatever but in my eyes it just makes Maggie completely unlikable.

I think it's a reference to Return of the Supermen. Isn't Hank Henshaw the cyborg in that mess? e: Apparently that's his whole thing in the comics. Just lookin' like a metal-faced Superman. I assumed he would end up impersonating other people and poo poo.

I think the name could have worked if they introduced it a bit differently.

Like, I don't know, after Kara punched him*, he could have super punched her away and he mockingly says "I'm not Hank Henshaw, I'm Superman". Then something something Winn something Cisco something.

Yeah they could have done a whole thing where he or Cadmus argues that Earth doesn't need alien protectors because it has its own Superman.

All in all the episode worked fine but the 'Cyborg Superman' line was a clunker.

I think it is. The synopsis of the Arrow episode of the crossover sees Oliver, Thea, Sara, Diggle and Ray getting Matrix'd by the Dominators for a good chunk of it. The trailer kind of confirms that too. Sorry.

I think maybe the Dominators lose because when they can take 5 people out of the fight, they choose the 4 with no powers and the guy who lost his super suit?
