I still find it hilarious there was a small family owned steel mill. I doubt those have existed since the 19th century, everything behind part of giant companies.

My college friend and later roommate's family owned a small local oil refinery up until about ten years ago (either I'm looking at the wrong place on Google maps or it's gone now). I don't see how a steel mill's any different.

E: browsing around the area turned up https://www.columbiasteel.com/ operating for about a hundred years, employs 300 people, seems like just that sort of thing.

I think, in the current economy, smaller steel mills are more liable to thrive than large companies like US Steel because they can focus on higher quality niche products that China can't undercut them on, not unlike retooling your facility to handle nth metal.

Skipping to the finale for a second to see what's the payoff.

Wait, they didn't even move Lex's body? He's still crumpled up on the island?

Did you watch the whole thing? Because he actually teleports back to his prison base at the end, whereupon Lena kills him.

So since I've been re-watching the last season of Supergirl since it's up on Netflix now, along with the other CW Superhero shows, and I just realized that all 3 shows that did the crossover this year have people that are close to their respective hero die in a horrid fashion. Arrow has Oliver's half sister that gets put down by a gang that she was using as leverage against Oliver, Barry literally loses his daughter in such a way that she no longer exists anymore, and Kara has her evil twin that was born from a mythical element from her home planet literally disappear while trying to protect her from Lex goddamn Luthor.

These shows may seem kind of light, but they have some bad endings, man.

No, she's off having her own adventures. This was a totally new character introduced this season, at least partly to draw attention to just how lovely Oliver's dad really was.

Yeah, new character based off of a character introduced in New 52 that probably more in common with Thea than her CW version.

Nora can still be conceived and born, exactly the same genetic person as the Nora that travelled back. It's just the iteration of Nora that never knew her dad, had her powers dampened by her mother, got mentoring from Thawne, swore revenge against Cicada and travelled back in time that has been erased. By doing so she can even get a new start with a better childhood.

On one hand I like most of it, but on the other it reminds me of when they made Superman ditch the trunks at the start of the New 52 which triggers bad memories and a lot of people pointed out (rightly, imo) that it feels like too much blue with just that little belt breaking it up. Maybe it'd help me if I could actually see the loving thing in full instead of with their "cool" lovely lighting.

Net positive overall though.

Suit looks great but they need to show it off in better lighting. It looks like she’s wearing a crappy CW wig in that light. But otherwise it looks fantastic.

Well this isn't that surprising honestly, I mean they've been slowly phasing out his character on Supergirl for a while now. His romance with Lena is over, and his role as Guardian is essential done now. Hell, they even gave him Kryptonian superstrength in the last few episodes.

Oh cool now Kara sounds like a 60 year old lamenting how kids are looking at their drat phones all the time. I mean I get it but it's another one of those issues that I don't trust the show to handle. Especially with one of the key scenes in the last finale being everyone looking at their phones to see her very important news story. Perhaps it's only good when people stare at their phones when they're staring at her content.

I was literally in the hospital coming out of a coma at the time Season 1 was ending on CBS, so I was drugged out of my mind watching it, but didn't the first season end with like everyone getting brainwashed by their cell phones too? Or was that the morphine talking? :drugnerd:

They did show Lady Brianiac so maybe she's grabbing people through their phones? But yea, like that was literally one of the things The Thinker was complaining about, and the The Thinker was just Jordan Peterson, who is just the worst person.
