I'm really amused that they couldn't uncover a robot arm with a medical scan.

Honestly, all the upper leadership of the DEO needs to be put on administrative leave. When you have both a telepath and someone with x-ray vision get duped by someone who is lying and has body parts replaced, your organization is completely broken.

I understand that they wanted to play the trust card in this episode, but the way they wrote it was terrible because it required the complete negligence of too many characters.

Yeah, that was a real "wait... what?"

But also, Alex and Kara not bringing Mon El and backup, Jeremiah shooting the computers, the simple Mon El pointed out fact of giving Jeremiah high level clearance within 24 hours,

Honestly, I don't care. I don't take this show seriously enough to be hung up on tactical realism sort of stuff. But this episode was really hilarious for the "yeah, that makes no sense if I think about it for 2 seconds."

Oh, comic books.

Yeah......sorry, but I'm just gonna have to say that Kara and Mon-El's relationship continues to annoy me. They just fight all the time and this is somehow their character development or something. Also, we're going on four episodes in a row now that ended with them commiserating on that drat couch.

If the rest of the episode was particularly spectacular I'd probably be able to shrug this stuff off, but I thought it was just sort of okay.

Xealot: Nov 25, 2002; Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

That's a CW relationship. Inedibly saccharine and built around extreme displays of affection, or sustained tearful argument born of several months-worth of lying. Things are either euphorically perfect or literally the most bitter divorce you've ever seen. Everyone has bipolar disorder, to the point it is completely normalized.

Let's not forget that the Kara/Mon-El relationship drama is going to get much worse when Kara finds out Mon-El is really the prince.

It will take more than the couch to reconcile that betrayal.

Oh, no! The bridge blew up and the perfectly timed train is going to plummet 150 feet! I know, I'll grab the metal that was just blown up, warped, and fatigued, bend it back straight, stretch it out if I have to and laser vision is back into place. I'm sure this will be structurally sound and capable of supporting a speeding train. Crap! No time! I'll just, you know, hold this one sort in place. There! Perfect! Saved the day, again!
You know, maybe we should have brought an extraction team or something to apprehend CADMUS.... nah, makes much more sense to send the two most emotionally invested individuals all by themselves. No chance for mistakes or bad judgment or manipulation there. Also, have Alex only bring her magic alien gun that makes things explode and not a regular old gun or a taser or literally anything else.

Edit: it is a comic book show that is like a comic book. Same reason James isn't dead. It works and I love it.

The thing that stuck out to me that ruined the realism and *~my immersion~* is that Kara has her ears pierced.

How exactly do you explain that? Unless her ears were pierced on Krypton?!

Was finally able to watch the beginning of the Martian episode where the DEO goes on lock-down, and I was surprised to see Mon El's thing about only drinking Club Soda at the bar ever.

No joke, Lilian Luthor would make a drat good addition to the Legion of Doom. Imagine the scenery chewing that would happen if you put her, Eobard, Malcolm, and Dahrk all in the same room :allears:

A bit, for sure. But also "a teenage girl got her ears pierced" is like the easiest and weirdest comic nerd "issue" to handwave ever.

Wait until someone asks how she shaves her legs with heat vision or a razor with a red sun strip or something.

The show has gotten some legit good drama going this season but the reason I stuck with it this long is it just has an inherently positive vibe.

Well you figure his character keeps getting mentioned for the past season and a half, so when he finally comes on the show, he's gonna be doing things, making moves, etc.
