Are all the worldkillers just going to be people? I was hoping for some crazy monsters.

Livewire  At least she died doing what she loved: being snarky and sassy.nooneofconsequence posted:Are all the worldkillers just going to be people? I was hoping for some crazy monsters. They can't defeat the strongest monster of all: budget

I couldn't help laughing out loud at the scene, knowing that they obviously were introducing another Worldkiller, but thinking that a fake out where, nope, some random civvy just got mowed down, end of scene, would be the funniest thing ever for the subversion of expectations alone.

I can't remember the last time I was actually consistently enjoying the overall seasonal "big bad" story-arc on one of these shows, but this Reign plot has had me really invested for months now. Odette Manning is killing this role. I feel like they didn't need to kill off Livewire though. The whole "You've inspired her to be good!" theme still could've come across without dumping another big ol' downer into Kara's life.

But yeah it's been real good so far and I'm actually excited to see what happens compared to the big bads currently on Flash and Arrow. *Odette Annable and the only reason I'm correcting you is because everyone should watch Banshee. Shameless plug I know but she was such a goddamn badass on that show that I don't even care.

...I have no idea where I got "Manning" from, and googling Odette Manning just leads me to a trove of cutesy birthday card cartoons.

Yeah, I'm really glad they didn't just overwrite her with Reign like I thought they were going to, so we still get the horror aspect.

This has got me hopeful that they're not just going to kill her off or banish her to another dimension when her villain arc is finished. I really liked the Alex/Ruby plot in this episode. It showed that Alex really would be a drat good mom if given the chance to be one. Also am I the only person who now wants to see how ballistic Brainiac-5 would go if he was put in the same room with Cisco and/or Felicty after how he reacted to Winn all episode

My dream for this show is that Sam ends up becoming Superwoman, but I dunno if they'd do that. But I really like her, I agree with everyone else that I'm super invested in her and her story.

Brainy is a winner. e: Reign goes down, Alex gets custody of Ruby. Ruby becomes Robin Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Jan 23, 2018 |

Is Supergirl not going to ask Psi what she saw in Reign’s mind?

Odette Manning is killing this role. indeed. seriously hoping she reforms eventually if the actor ever wants to come back. she's probably one of the better reoccuring villains in the arrowverse and would be pitch perfect on legends of tomarrow. her conversations with mick could works of art.

I will say that the part about the...blue star?...poisoning anyone with a...Y-chromosome?...was super loving dumb.  Like, is every single male prisoner of Fort Rozz just dead now?

BrianWilly posted:I will say that the part about the...blue star?...poisoning anyone with a...Y-chromosome?...was super loving dumb. I thought it was funny because back in the Silver Age, blue sun radiation gave everyone exposed to it Kryptonian-type powers. This later got retconned into making Kryptonians more powerful and granting them "Superman Vision," which temporarily gave powers to those zapped with it. Comics, everybody! (Seriously, why haven't they done a plot where one of the mundanes on the show gets Kryptonian powers? That was like stock plot #3 for the Superman comics back in the day.)

Yeah I need an episode where Alex gets Kara's powers for a day at this point. Maybe Winn as well for the comedy option but I want to see Alex kicking but with super strength.

Alex gets powers, and is significantly better at being a superhero than Kara. The rest of the season becomes a disillusioned Kara drinking her sense of inadequacy away.

It's kinda hosed up that she used her badge to scare a child, right? Even if she was a bully that was just incredibly unprofessional.

Like the time Superman created a miniature doppelganger of himself (he shot it out of his hand) then became jealous and depressed when it was better at being a superhero than him?

I'm also disappointed they killed off Livewire, but she needed a better look. She basically looked like a drowned corpse from the neck up.

Alex has always been supremely unethical about using her authority to protect people she cares about, so using her FBI badge to terrify a literal child is completely in character and loving hilarious.

I was sure Psi left some kind of secret code word in Irma's head that, when spoken, would turn her against Supergirl. Then I was sure Livewire was going to get super-juiced-up from Rozz's futuristic electric power plant. Then none of these things happened.

I don't think having a recurring plot where Lena (or someone) makes weekly attempts to discover Supergirl's true identity via 90s sitcom style harebrained schemes would be altogether unwelcome.

I'm surprised that nobody else has commented on the fact that Supergirl apparently threw Fort Rozz faster than light and into deep space at the end of season 1. Also kind of hosed up that they were okay with the fact that there were still prisoners on there. nine-gear crow posted:I’m honestly surprised this show has not indulged in more Superdickery.

They killed livewire  She was the first thing about the CBS show that got me over the shaky start and going, "holy poo poo, this is a good show!" I mean, it helps that I really liked the character from the DCAU, but still. zappy sass lady

I have many issues with the astrophysics, physics and math in this episode. I'm building a working theory that writers don't do any research... Also Supergirl merkocided all the men.
