I'm glad that this week's episode was as fun as it was. I was concerned that it'd lose something without Clark, but removing him allowed the new characters time to shine!

So the Kevin Smith episode is going to be titled Supergirl Lives.

Just a joke reference, or a hint of things to come?

I liked how Alex didn't just immediately go "poo poo I'm gay" and instead kinda talked in circles around it. Felt more honest, and like how I felt about it when I realized.

Wait, Winn didn't know about Alex and Maggie? Are we really supposed to believe he doesn't read tumblr?

presumably he got tumblr savior to block the whole Clanvers stuff after being turned down.

Also I finally found out exactly how you're supposed to pronounce that name.

Gilbert Gottfried already showed you how to pronounce it.

A little off-topic, but after the multiple crossovers between Supergirl and The Flash, and learning that both Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin were both on the show Glee, I decided to start watching Glee again to really try to see what all the hubbub was about, and I just got to Grant Gustin's first appearance, and I didn't realize that Grant Gustin was a Warbler, or that he was interested in Darren Criss immediately. Haven't seen Melissa Benoist on Glee yet.

The more you know, I guess.

You are way past the point where Glee stops being good. Watch the Season 3 premiere to meet Benoist, and the tribute to Cory Monteith, and then stop.

I'm sad because they had the perfect opportunity to have Hank being reconstructed to look like Jeremiah and insistent that he's superman now.

e: Was there a BTS reason why Max Lord never came back? Was it the move to Vancouver?

Probably a combo of the move to Vancouver and them wanting to distance Alex from the straight romance they had hinted at in Season 1.

In unrelated news, tumblr is blowing up because of this video:

Betcha can't guess where they get real mad.

It's comedy gold.

Yeah, they are really mad at Melissa Benoist and Jeremy Jordan.

Chris Wood too, but that's not a new thing.

I'd have more material to laugh at but unfortunately most of it is just gifs of quotes out of context, and since they're the only ones who care it's hard to find the source videos out of the like 30-40 videos they did that day.

Honestly it's quite a lovely situation all around, because even if tumblr had a legit point at the beginning (I could see where they were coming from, honestly, even if I disagree with them), their overreacting has basically just turned them into a thing of mockery outside their little echo chambers.

The actors are all mad at all the hate that they (Benoist especially) are getting, and Jeremy Jordan had to apologize multiple times because they didn't accept his first apology.

Is there a place to read the publicist's response? I couldn't find it, but everywhere I was looking was talking about it.

Honestly, it just felt kinda mean to the fans who choose to believe that Kara and Lena would be really good together.

Like, Supernatural was brought up before, but Supernatural is a much different case because while they do mock the poo poo out of the shippers, they do so in a nice way. The best analogy I can think of is that Supernatural treated its fans like Galaxy Quest treated Trekkies.

This video had Jeremy Jordan scream right into the screen "YOUR SHIP ISN'T HAPPENING EVER," and if I was a shipper, I'd find that off-putting and stop watching Supergirl too.

That said, I found the publicist's email and I think it's super sketchy. They cut off any information to make it look like anything but a word document.

But, it is never happening because neither of the characters are written as gay or bi. It is never happening. it is never happening. Unless they find pink kryptonite.

There is absolutely a difference between a thing not happening and an actor from the show yelling about how a thing isn't happening in a promotional video.

There were people who cared about it. I didn't, but I read a bunch of recaps from people who did.

"I didn't care about it." does not mean "Nobody cared about it."

Did they explain where Superman was? You’d think something called a “world killer” would get his attention.

Last time he stepped in uninvited, he was brainwashed and forced to fight Kara.

The time before, Kara got super mad at him for stepping in uninvited.

I don't begrudge him not coming by unless Kara asks him for help.
