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.

1. That wig is a good look on red daughter 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

When the squid thing came out of that tube Lena had, I thought it was Jarro.

glad to see the show keeps up the comic tradition of just giving superman/girl random powers whenever convenient. "Here! You were just beaten literally to death but......This grass has sunlight in it!!" *absorbs sunlight from plants*

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.

In The Dark Knight Returns, Superman tanks a nuke and nearly dies but then sucks the sunlight out of some plants to cheat death.

Yay Lex killed the evil Supergirl! 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.

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.

Vietnamwees posted:I wouldn't cast out the Red Daughter just yet, I think the promo for the season finale showed her just for a second. 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?

Well Red Daughter heard her heart stop. I assume she reported that to Lex. It's not like Red Daughter lies to him.

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.

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.

Witwer doing Brainy as Lockwood was a lot of fun. Also liked the change in acting for serious Brainiac 5.
