Lead poisoning doesn't do that.

But like 30 seconds of thought says the bomb can't be the culprit.

- Too few kids poisoned
- No adults
- No greater instance closer to the detonation
- Those affected not in a pattern that would be related
- Clearly bullshit
- These dudes are morons

No spoilers I haven't finished the episode.

"It mimics the symptoms of lead poisoning. Also it has a bunch of other symptoms not related to lead."

I really love how thin Talbot's deniability is. Like even the most basic investigation would uncover he was behind it.

Also the police probably aren't going to believe that guy shot himself in the chest, gun residue or not.

It doesn't help the DEO actually seems like chumps, as they couldn't move on him with the evidence that Supergirl and Lena had? I guess they're only able to go after aliens and not humans.

So that trailer for next week's episode was pretty interesting, am I right? The sisters go back to their roots, and Supergirl actually sees her mom, Erica Durance? THAT struck me as the strangest thing for next week.

I liked the episode but Morgan Edge is really over the top evil. Like how did he find anyone to help him purposefully poison children for revenge purposes?

"He was shot in the chest straight-on from four feet away. There's gun residue on the hands, clearly self-inflicted."

So according to an interview if Floriana Lima had decided to stick around they totally were going to have a wedding sooner rather than later.

Isn't Team Flash already doing a joint wedding with Team Arrow? Or is that just tonight's Girls Gone Wild episode?

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Edge is definitely an over the top comic book evil villain. And rather inept. He's probably lucky Kara's a bad reporter and hasn't exposed him already.

But in fairness the Arrowverse started with a conspiracy of wealthy business people looking to explode half of their city to kill all the poor people and relieve the burden on the "right people". So we've always been pretty far in the "evil plot" scale.

Moreover, this time last year Lillian Luthor was gear up to put the master stroke on her evil plan of "literally kill every non-human on Earth because boo hoo my son's in jail". And before that Lillian just straight up kidnapped a bunch of people and tried to shoot them halfway across the galaxy in a space ship. Again, because "gently caress aliens, my son's in the klink."

Jesus, Edge is kinda charmingly low rent compared to that poo poo so far. :colbert:

It was better than having them get married and then killing off Maggie, but still brutal.

Is there a reason why a bit part love interest wouldn't do everything in their power to keep their role, no matter how small? It's a weekly episodic series, guaranteed work. Is Floriana Lima in higher demand than I realize?

I expected the guy to maybe drive by Lena menacingly or send her a menacing bouquet of her least favorite flowers or have some menacing corporate intrigue going on to start things off.

Nope, straight to poisoning children's swimming pools, executing people and crashing airplanes full of poison into reservoirs. That was the first step in his plan.

I mean, he's in the same "evil corporate Lex stand in" role but Lord seemed way more ambigious for way longer from my memory. Like I don't think it was until he was cloning creepy Supergirl stand ins that he was fully clearly a bad dude and even then his motives seemed ambiguously "trying to protect against danger" that didn't Kat appeal to him for help?

Edge is just right out of the gate murdering kids and poisoning the water supply for larger profit margins.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
