Man I love watching J'onn wreck people. Nice and solid episode before we enter the long wasteland of April. With all of that said I really hope we get some actual drama and challenge in the Alex and Maggie relationship. Now obviously given the profile of the show and the message it sends that could be a challenge, I don't want them doing a Willow/Tara style poo poo show but an actual argument between the two that isn't immediately resolved with them calling each other great and supportive would be welcome at this point.

It's been a weirdly uneven season so far, they've not had too many out and out awful episodes but it feels like they've been bouncing from storyline to storyline every 3-4 episodes and it's never quite felt like it's all connected together properly. But hey there's a Supergirl show on TV and it's pretty drat good so take what you can get I suppose.

That was a very Kevin Smith episode. Dialogue that's a little too snappy, delivered a little too quickly.

"Surprise, muthafucka."
I guess Kevin Smith is going to make a new career out of directing CWDCTV shows, which is ok since the ones he's done so far have been good to decent. I'm sure it's his way of partially fulfilling his writing/directing a comic book movie dream.

Yeah when they said a bounty had been put on Kara I thought for a hot second we might see Lobo before the rational part of my brain took over...Though just because the bounty was canceled (maybe), that doesn't mean the message is not still out there floating through the void...

Could they have tried any harder to make the telepath look like Charles Xavier? He even did the finger thing the same. (Though yeah I know that's a common way of showing someone using telepath powers.)

At first I thought "Come at me, bro" was funny, but then I rolled my eyes.

It's too bad they couldn't get Lynda Carter more/have more money because I feel we should've gotten a scene of Supergirl busting into the Oval Office to plead her case.

Some rare hard science on a CWDCTV show when it came to targeting the portal relative to the ship's orbit and the Earth's spin. I'll forgive the portal continuing to work though as Wynn writing an auto-updating program or someone on the ground continuously re-targeting it.

As soon as Wynn showed up outside the cell I knew "I'm here to rescue you" "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper" was coming. There's a rule about Kevin Smith involvement and Star Wars jokes.

I was honestly surprised it was J'onn disguised as Kara in an episode where a lot of other things were predictable.

Boy, that sure was some hilarious overkill when the Daxamite not only got sucked into vaccum but stabbed by a wayward kryptonite sai for good measure.

As soon as that end scene started you knew she was going to kill him. They made Teri Hatcher's character very cartoonishly evil, but I forgive it because comic book show.

And yeah why are we getting a month long break? Is this a normal sweeps thing I forgot about? I'm guessing so since all the Arrowverse shows except Legends are taking a break. Ugh.

GreenNight posted:

People keep saying this whenever Smith has directed a CWDCTV show and it's getting annoying because A) Do you really think the writers and directors on shows share no communication and ideas during the development of an episode? and B) Do you really think TV writers don't sometimes cater to a director's style/voice/strengths if they can/want to?

Goddamn, I'm sick of the focus on Mon-El. He's not terrible (on the scale of this show) but there's just so much of him. This show and Flash is rapidly sliding from "it's goofy but still kind of enjoyable" to "ehhh, maybe I'll watch something else" for me.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



Yeah, he's not a BAD character, but the show just seems like it's kinda floundering a little as far as plots go this season. I think the overall quality has gone up since season 1, but they could really use a long-term enemy like the Phantom Zone prisoners to tie the episodes together. I know we're gonna get a lot of monster-of-the-week because of the nature of the show, but without a metaplot to advance each episode, it feels like the relationship drama takes center stage because it's the only thing that really persists week-to-week.

I think the problem is that the season started very strong and just fell apart after the mid season break. Cadmus seems to barely be a threat, are the daxamites supposed to be the big bad?

I feel like everyone likes Lena because things actually move forward in her episodes.

If you're not going to leave someone for lying to you for months, at least leave them for being so thick that they don't know Romeo and Juliet die in the end, even though it says it in the opening monologue.

Eh, most college kids don't understand Shakespeare on paper, so I'm willing to let a literal alien off with a pass. Plus Mon-El is a wonderfully dumb optimist, so of course he'd root for them to get out of it alive :allears:

Have to say, I liked the laser eyepatch rhinocerous and squishy brain dude fights. Those were fun.

Maybe the CW people can just call in Kevin Smith to consult when they need a new ridiculous moster of the week, but let somebody else handle the relationship drama stuff. Best of both worlds!
