That's what I expected. He would get super powers for like a minute and then explode like Season 2 Barry came by.

Given that Red Daughter seemed to be fading at one point without an infusion of Harunel, it's possible that the effects are temporary without periodic reinjections/applications.

I really want to watch that special. I've been doing a lot of self reflection about who I was 20 years ago and more and more I keep finding out about so many people who've had breakdowns or put themselves under psyche hokds.

2. That was some extreme badassery by Kara.

I guess a new bullshit power is very much in keeping with Superman.

I have a hard time believing Lex killed Red Daughter off screen, but then again I was a little fuzzy why she peaced out of watching Alex cry over Kara.

That Russian opening was a nice touch. So what's that song that Kara had no rhythm clapping with in the beginning of the episode?

I like Brainy reverting to factory settings of evil Brainiac. You'd think that he might have run into this problem before, though. I mean torture's hosed up, but I imagine the LOSH gets up to a lot of adventures that may have lead to hosed up poo poo happening before.

I wonder if this is gonna lead up to him being next season's villain? I mean they've kinda sorta done a variant on Zod, they've done a Daxamite invasion, and now they've done both Luthor and Red Son Daughter. I can't think of many other classic Superman villains to use for next season.

Doomsday?

They had a brainiac villain all the way back in season one with Indigo. My guess is Nia knocks some sense into him next week.

So I'm guessing re-dosing Harunel is a thing now? Also, I LOL'ed pretty hard when Lena said that she poisoned her mom's food.

Not unprecedented in comics though. In The Dark Knight Returns, Superman tanks a nuke and nearly dies but then sucks the sunlight out of some plants to cheat death.

I'm a little disappointed that was so recent, it's so silly it feels like something out of the Silver Age.

Hey I'm here!
Supergirl???

Did Lex just assume that Red Daughter was going to kill Kara? There seems to be a major flaw in this. Also Lockwood is still Hitler, but ending Otis was pretty great.

At least Kara didn't kill all the plants when she took their energy, though I choose to read it that she is so good and pure, they gave it willingly.

Amoral Brainy is a good default setting.

I wouldn't cast out the Red Daughter just yet, I think the promo for the season finale showed her just for a second.
Unless that was actually Supergirl.


Or some kind of flashback of Red Daughter...

It would be strange to have the Red Daughter story end with her getting whacked off screen.

The CW is leaving money on the table if they don't do a Midvale prequel spinoff starring young Alex and Kara Nancy Drew'ing it across the town.

Well, I meant that's the story Lex is presenting to the world. When regular Supergirl shows up, and presumely Red Daughter, what the hell does he expect people to think?

I went some place mum and everyday I woke up in that place and told myself I'm alive and I was.
Well Red Daughter heard her heart stop. I assume she reported that to Lex. It's not like Red Daughter lies to him.

To be fair they also pulled some weird poo poo with Red Daughter zapping Supergirl so hard that it turned dark out.

Doomsday and Zod are on Krypton so they probably won't be showing up on the CW any time soon.

Zod was already on Supergirl, very briefly, at the end of Season 2 as a hallucination when Clark and Kara fought.

The actor playing Lockwood is also the voice actor of Deacon in the PS4 game "Days gone". Huh. Wouldn't have made that connection without IMDB.

He's also the voice of Darth Maul and Palpatine in all the most recent Star Wars TV and videogame stuff. Dude's a versatile actor.

I'm still a bit gobsmacked by the amount of presence he was able to put into Agent Liberty back when he had the mask on all the time. It should have looked silly, but the whole episode ending in the rally was great just using voice and body language.
