I'm a big fan of Alex becoming Ronan Dex. Not sure why she popped in to work to talk to Kara in full battle spec.

I'm sure a lot of people read Kara's speech to Mon-El as the showrunners/higher ups at the CW trying to keep the pretty blonde female protagonist innocent (i.e. free of semen). Personally, I prefer to think that the writers had Kara give that super lovely speech to Mon-El (in which she implied that she hates him both personally and because he's poor) after he poured his heart out to her in the last episode, in order to show that deep down, she's really a giant rear end in a top hat.

DoctorWhat posted:what the gently caress is this post I legit don't know  Like yeah, Kara has generally been a Barry Allen-level shitbag to most of the people around her post-Invasion crossover, but that's just been spots of crappy writing on a show that is otherwise stellar so far this year. If anything Kara hilariously shooting down every male that's made a pass at her this year is more about her being a strong, independent feminist character who doesn't need any romantic involvements to function as a person. You know, a positive thing? nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Feb 7, 2017 |

He was open and honest to her and she took the opportunity to seek him out, take her (apparently free) drink, and insult him. I thought about sympathizing with her and being like, 'Man, that's going to be hard to work through later...' then thought, 'Wait a second. Why the gently caress should Mon-El take that? Just because Kara's the protagonist? Nope. Not a good reason. Miss Tessmacher seems like a step up who will actually willingly go out with him and seems nice. Good for him!' teamcharlie fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Feb 7, 2017 |

...Anyway.. I think this show's hitting its seasonal stride right about now; it was a bit...faffy?...earlier this season despite some occasional worthwhile moments, but the latest two episodes have both been really solid all around. I remember last season more or less hit its "smooth sailing" around the time it returned from winter break, as well.

I liked how the only Barenaked Ladies song they played was One Week, which is funny because Steven Page has been out of the band for a few years because he chose doing tons of blow with his girlfriend more important than the band so they kicked him out. This was literally headline news in Canada.

Yea I remember the whole press conference being broadcast and it being the lead stories that night and the next day. I bet they have the budget for Alex to shoot her gun once per episode. Kara did you not learn how to eat a cupcake? You rip the top off and flip it around and smoosh it to the bottom, cupcake sandwich! Not with a fork. Seriously.

He never appeared in an episode before and he spent two thirds of the episode without anyone mentioning his name despite the angry accusations. I was so sure he was gonna die.

Kara's just really bad at letting people down easily. And I kind of wish they had stuck with that instead of going "wait, he isn't an alcoholic? Well maybe you DO have feelings for him!" I don't understand that cupcake sandwich thing at all though. That's blown my mind.

It wasn't the alcoholic thing. It was that he was drinking the same thing Kara drinks. If Kara drank orange juice at the bar, he'd be drinking orange juice all the time now. Everything he does (until Tessmacher) is because he wants Kara to like him. He wants to be a hero because of her, he tries to be less selfish because of her, now he's drinking club soda because of her. He's puppy dog in love with her and she's only just now realizing it when (because it is the CW) he decides to bury his feelings and try to (or pretend to) move on. Cupcake sandwich thing. The only place I've ever heard of that is on these very forums, never in real life.

Oh, I was being flip about Mon El. Obviously he's trying to be a better guy because he's crushing on Kara, and clearly he's using Kara as his role model for a good person. But like, Kara already knew Mon El was trying with the super heroing thing which made this week's story feel like "you're a womanizing drunk/actually he hasn't drank in a week/oh, ok, I like you." Which feels very silly and superficial.

Edit: not as dense as Barry Allen, but still.

Didn't she just flat out say to her sister/fake sister that she was just trying to avoid getting hurt being in a relationship and was just hiding her feelings, and not some magical "HE'S DRINKING CLUB SODA WE MUST BANG" plot twist

Again, I'm being flippant. I mean, the story is that Kara liked Jimmy but broke up with him because she wanted to focus on being Supergirl but really she also was just protecting herself from heartbreak and she was doing the same with Mon El until Alex gave her "take a chance like I did" speech. It just didn't play for me because it was the silly bar scene at the beginning and then the cliched Alex talk at the end. It just felt very sloppy to me. But its not a big thing. Just a kind of "CW romantic drama" thing that felt a little plugged in to me. I was only using the bar thing as a way to be a dismissive jerk about it. I don't actually think Kara changed her feelings because of club soda.

Let's be real, they are only going to have Kara begin to have ~*feElings~* for Mon-El so that when they The dude is probably going to die like he has in all the other CW shows he's been on despite being likable. His weakness is LEAD. That shoots out of guns!

Its a double edged sword. On one hand, poo poo luck that he landed on the planet that has totally weaponized his secret weakness. On the other hand its also really bad to humans so the planet also created kevlar. So its not all bad. But yeah, I assume Mon El will find some intergalactic prince purpose by the end of the season or sacrifice himself heroically. I guess that's why I'm not invested in the romance angle even though I like Mon El and their chemistry fine.

If Jimmy can decide to become a superhero because his camera got broken, Kara can change her feelings because of club soda.

I really have no problem with Jimmy's decision to become Guardian since he's all but said "I'm really loving tired of being the helpless sidekick because I've been doing this way longer than you, Wynn." Its cool, Jimmy. We know this is about years of built up inferiority complex. That's kind of Batman's motivation too, he's just got a better origin story.
