It seems like in every other reality Oliver either dies in the shipwreck or it never happens. That means its probable that in every other reality Sara is either just a lovely brat who is sleeping with her sister's boyfriend, an amoral member of the League of Assassins, or stuck on an island with Deathstroke.

I know there is no way of it panning out this way, but I'd love for it to end with Reign cornering Ruby, only for Sam to take control back at the last minute due to the ~power of motherhood~, drag Julia back into control of Purity and the two of them to beat the tar out of Pestilence. Then Darkseid shows up only to be staring down three angry Kryptonians (the third being Supergirl)

I kind of was surprised by the mini-League/Legion that kind of came together last week with Supergirl, Mon El, J'onn, and Saturn Girl. I think Mon El getting a proper costume really made it feel real and if J'onn had gone Martian form it would have been awesome. Give Saturn Girl a more comic unique uniform like Mon El and then toss in Brainaic and Martian J'onn and we got a pretty bad rear end team pose for the finale against the Super Krytonians. And Alex, of course. Because she's earned it. And I guess maybe you can invite James if he can remember where he left his Guardian costume. But he should give it a blue and yellow paint job first.

There's probably one where she survived the shipwreck and was trapped on the island (and in Hong Kong and Russia etc.) for five years then returned to Star(ling) City to become the Hood/Arrow/Green Arrow. That might be a fun one to see.

The key there being Sara seducing Shado to set the path towards the green hood, which... yeah, that checks out. She actually probably would have fit in better with the Bratva than Oliver.

I'm having a hard time investing in this episode, because it feels like they must be doomed to fail. That said, I'm kind of digging the conflict between Kara and Lena.

The Guardian suit looks a lot better than it did last year. Maybe this is the reason why James hasn’t been wearing it this year, because they were redesigning it.

God, I'd say that Odette Annable is making this entire season for me, but honestly there's been a lot of great stuff in this season even apart from just her. Still.........that fight between Team Supergirl and the Worldkillers definitely felt like they wanted to have a season finale-caliber fight without having a season finale budget. Man, there's still six more episodes of this season? I'd almost felt as if they'd wrapped most of the major plots already!

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:"Would you like me to count to 3?" Yeah this is one of those universal comic book concepts that I never understand. "Batman, you came up with ways to defeat each member of the justice league in case they turn evil or are controlled somehow, which happens every week? How loving dare you you loving monstrous piece of poo poo." "Jesse Eisenluthor, you want a weapon to stop the invulnerable people involved in destroying cities, countless deaths and almost destroying the entire world? Sorry buddy that sounds like assassination to me and this is America." "Lena Luthor you have been researching the one weapon that can stop the World Killers which could have prevented an earlier Kryptonian invasion? You piece of human garbage where the gently caress do you get off?" "Cisco you designed this cold gun specifically to stop Speedsters? I thought we knew you."

To be fair, the only person who was all that bent out of shape about it was Kara. Everyone else was just varying degrees of "Sigh...well, whatever." The Els do seem to have this specific peevey bias against their friends owning Kryptonite for whatever reason, even if they're good ones.

Yeah, she has been absolutely heartwrenching. I am really glad they didn't discard real-Sam and those body horror moments when she first fully turned to Reign. On the other hand, come on Saturn Girl. "We didn't know Blight's identity other than that she originated as Pestilence, and all her energy just got quite visibly sucked into Reign, but I'm sure we changed the future!"

I'm not sure if the energy transfer was visible to the characters. No one reacted to it floating out of the bodies, or it getting sucked into Reign, or mentioned any of it happening.

I have to say I like how fully this show has embraced comic book logic. "Quick, we need to convert the mind transference device from the 30th century into a way to transport the three of us to the alternate dimension where the black magic Kryptonian witches are sending their host's minds. We need to do this before their dark ritual finishes forcing the earth to have a solar eclipse and everyone freezes. Get the aliens and the time travelers we've got a job to do. Also don't worry about that, it's just a Kryptonian demon, I've seen those before."

Just to illustrate how much Kara was overreacting to Lena, back in Crisis on Earth-X, Oliver shoots Nazi Supergirl with a kryptonite arrow (never mind where he got that from). He specifically states that he had it just in case an evil Kara showed up. Kara's reaction is surprise, and not much else.

I don't think it's especially the same since (a) Oliver isn't really much more than a work aquaintance, (b) it's a different Earth, and (c) Oliver's family doesn't have a history of trying to kill Kara and her family with the particular rock that only has one viable use. Remember Clark went through this same thing with J'onn and the DEO having a stash of Kryptonite "just in case". And you know Batman is off hiding his stash for Superman to get mad at him for. I don't think Kara was especially wrong to be concerned about Lena's secret stash. I'd probably be nervous if someone was keeping a stash of "Kill Me Rock", especially if their family keeps trying to kill me with it. The broader trust thing is more complicated and Kara didn't exactly help with the break-in and hiding it, but Lena again lied about the Kryptonite. So they're just liars and not good friends. Also, Lena's totally got the Luthor megalomaniac gene. She just represses it a little better most of the time, but it slips. But Kara's got that whole "I'm always the arbitrarer of what's right" god complex thing so... Bad friends. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 15:30 on May 9, 2018 |

Oliver's only a violent serial killer, not a close personal friend, it's true.

I mean, the point is Kara's whole thing was that she felt betrayed by Lena. She didn't feel betrayed by Oliver because she kind of only barely tolerated him during that Dominators thing. Different expectations. Now feeling betrayed is a little complicated and hypocritical given her own secrets and lies to Lena. But also does sort of have some validation since Lena absolutely did lie to her about the Kryptonite. Like I said, they're just liars and lovely friends.

You don't see Mon-El getting bent out of shape about all his friends that have stashes of bullets.
