Its kind of goofy that she went with her fake glasses with a group of people who already know she's Supergirl.

Also, Mon-El as the prince of Daxim theory confirmed?

I keep going back and forth between him being the prince (there've been a couple dialogue moments that seem to call it out, Kara asking him if he's ever worked a day in his life for instance) or him actually being a guard, but being greedy/a coward and stealing the pod out from under that actual prince or something similar (his attempt to unburden his guilt in the Cadmus cell would dovetail with this).

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Kara's been "Kara Danvers" for a long time and "Supergirl" for only a year and "Kara Zor El" was hidden for like a decade. So she's just probably naturally most comfortable in the geeky clothes and fake glasses. Its not a secret identity, its her identity she's had since she was a teen.

Didn't the aliens at the end of the episode call him "Mon-El Daxam", and wouldn't that imply he's a member of the royal family?

All of this makes me wonder if they're going to keep his name as Mon-El or if they're going to go full-comics and say his actual name is Lar Gand and just tweak it a little by saying he's the Daxamite prince.

Yeah I think so. So if those lady aliens knew him by name he probably isn't/wasn't some no-name guard. Might be some weird nobility-as-honorguard or a situation where he knew the prince as kids and basically grew up in the royal circles, but I think him being the actual prince is the most likely explanation. Nobody is going to track down a random guard across space (unless he stole the prince's escape pod :tinfoil:)

Why exactly aren't Kara and Jimmy together anymore? Cause he's her boss?

That's a decent reason I just don't remember them ever actually addressing it, like I missed a scene where they came to an understanding of what their relationship was now.

I can't hear an "of" but subtitles say it's there. I'll blame this on the voice distortion effect and hearing loss.

They had a balcony scene at Catco in the first season (I think Jimmy broke it off because he was waffling over Lana - who basically disappeared from the show shortly after).

At the end of the premier they decide that it just isn't going to work. They don't really give a good explanation. Most likely the whole thing was a victim of the network change and them having to rebalance some stuff behind the scenes.

No, the first episode this season Kara friendzoned him so she could figure out "how to be Kara" aka find a white boyfriend.

Ruh roh...
The James/Kara thing getting unceremoniously shoved out the door feels weird when there hasn't even been a cursory hint of it since the break-up. Like, not even a funny look from James when Mon-El outright asked if Kara was 'mated'. I'd guess it was a combination of wanting to have Mon-El on the show but not deal with a love triangle for a second season in a row, and also maybe to make it easier to run with the Guardian storyline without having to worry about the added layer of how Kara doesn't know about it when she's dating the guy.

It seems doubtful they ended it because James was black, considering Iris and Wally on the next show over, but yeah when you take that whole season of buildup and sweep it completely under the rug immediately to give a white love interest it isn't a good look.

There was a bit where Winn and James joked about how she rejected them both.

I think they wrote it off because there wasn't much chemistry. I think they handle minorities fairly well on the show.

Yet they ended up with a pairing with even worse chemistry.

One of the best bits of the crossover was definitely Barry and Kara tag teaming the evil cyborg lady.

Yep. Those two together are fun no matter what but because it was the Arrow episode it turned into "let's beat the everliving gently caress out of this person"

On the scale of Arrowverse movie roles I'd say that ranks below Casey Jones, but above naked schizophrenic.

I just started this show and finished episode 3. So Supergirl is getting beat up by reactor man or whatever his name was and Superman shows up and saves her. Then she wakes up in her apartment and pretty soon the bad guy is back and she has to fight him again. WTF? Did Superman just save her and then leave the bad guy to continue on? How the gently caress does that make any sense? I really want to like this show, but does it continue being this stupid?

Seeing it in relatively low res, behind CGI, and in motion, it looked okay. Standing still like this unobstructed and in loving detail, it's amazing how unrobotic it is.
