All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."

Has anyone else noticed how vague they are about Mon's powers? Like, what can he actually do?

My guess is because they haven't decided how strong they want him. He can't be so strong that he starts to 'compete' with Kara, but he can't be so weak that it doesn't make sense for him to be a superhero.

He even refers to himself as the "other Superman" this week but he gets his rear end kicked every time he's on screen. And it's time for him to get a suit! Hopefully something true to the spirit of his comic suits. I mean, their Superman looked pretty good, it can't be too hard to reverse the color scheme.

Wynn better design a suit that has an outer layer that's built to envelope lead or the first mugger is going to put him down.

Anybody else thinks she spends too much time wearing the suit? During the scene when she and Mon-el were training at DEO and he was in street clothes she didn't need to be rocking the suit. She at least needs another slightly more casual suit for hanging at the DEO.
I had thought that that was why she wore street clothes... so that any DEO personnel who weren't already aware of her dual identity might just believe that that was Supergirl in street clothes.

He's not bulletproof so right now he's just Jimmy except stronger

I would say he's worse than 'not bulletproof'. A human can continue functioning after being shot in a lot of different places. He'll just shutdown the same way Kryptonite would hurt Supergirl after a superficial wound.

He's got the original (as in Action Comics #1) Superman power set: super strong and super fast, but no flight (or other bullshit Silver Age powers), plus a deathly allergy to lead.

He's flat out stronger than James, but at least James can get shot and keep fighting.

Kara has a bit of that messiah complex going on in regards to super crime fighting belonging to superpowered people (or I guess the DEO). I kinda want a Arrow/Supergirl crossover just for Ollie to go up against her (with adequate preptime on his end) for whatever reason. Also did she forget about "The Detective" in Gotham?

I don't care what outfit they give Mon-El so long as they give him a collar to pop.

Also this episode was fun but way too centered on The Patented CW Drama Bullshit. I know there's gonna be that regardless but it bogged down an episode that should've been about Livewire because Livewire's great.

Man, I love how Flash gets brighter with the crossovers, but I'd like to see what they would do by solely focusing on Ollie and his predilection for being wary of unknown variables. I wanted to see more of that the last crossover. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I want to see Wynn interact with Felicity.

...hell, now I want to see how Alex fares against the White Canary. More crossovers please!

Alex isn't afraid of using guns so she would win.

In the next crossover, the Earth-1 heroes need to go to Earth-38, and Alex and Diggle need to become inseparable combat-bros.

Considering Wynn was suprised about the "flaw" in guardian's suit was that he got injured if a bullet hit on the lycra undersuit bits that aren't covered by plates held on quick release straps (about 50% of Jimmie's body), the chances are not great.

"Tons of gadgets, lots of demons", though I somehow imagine that they never met and she only knows of him through whatever she researched or whatever Clark said... the first half did get me imagining Earth-38 Batman as a more overtly tech hero than usually depicted.

As long as they don't let him write his own character I don't think it would be too bad. But after Andromeda and Hercules I don't know.

maybe there is a DC villain known for over acting and chewing scenery.
