So, wait, does this mean that Ray is getting the ATOM suit back in time for the crossover? :confused:

That or it's just a recognizable look for the photo shoot.

Is there a higher-def image? I'm curious what Amell and Routh are reading.

You get a better glimpse of the cover in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HtkE0a8fhk and it's Robinson Crusoe I believe

I'm still peeved over the whole nuclear power plant sequence. I guess if you can assume the writers are going for the 80's Christopher Reeve movie era logic - it works just fine in that context.

It's pretty much how Superman beat him the first time in the cartoon, only there he used a chunk of kryptonite, but same basic deal

And they handled that so much better than the do on The Flash. Kara was so apologetic that she had to blow him up.

We're getting actual Cyborg Superman, right?

The synopsis of next week's episode:
While Guardian (Mehcad Brooks) tries to clear his name after being accused of a murder committed by another vigilante, Supergirl heads out on a solo mission to rescue Mon-El (Chris Wood) who has been captured by CADMUS. While fighting to free Mon-El, Supergirl comes face to face with Cyborg Superman.

so, yes.

Well, CADMUS does have Alex's father as a hostage and implied they were using him as a test subject, so it's possible. Really though, I suspect it's just another excuse to get Tyler Hoechlin back on the show. Because god please we need more excuses to get Tyler Hoechlin back on the show.

Kreisberg specifically said that's not happening in the article I linked earlier.

First season after the switch to The CW and man the teenage drama has already run rampant, even for a SciFi show about aliens. Mon-El clearly has a thing for Kara, Alex has all her drama with coming out gay and with her possible love interest Maggie Sawyer. That's not what I want to watch! I just want to see Supergirl smash the bad guys, that's it! Plus what the hell happened to Mon-El on Daxxom that he's been keeping secret!?

Did you even watch last season? If anything the soap opera aspect was even more pronounced.

And Mon-El either is the prince, or stepped over the prince to get in the pod.


twistedmentat posted:

I'd feel a little better if Cadmus isn't constantly chumping our heroes. Also Superman has poo poo security. I figured the blood was going to go into making the Power Girl clone from JLA, not just smearing it on Cyborg Superman's hand so he can steal Kryptopedia.

Though Batman existing in Supergirl universe is really nifty.


They kind of hinted that Batman was around last season as well. And Superman just assumes nobody else can lift the big loving key.

Anyway, I felt like I was watching an episode of Arrow during the Guardian plot, and I don't particularly approve.

It doesn't help that Arrow did almost this exact story with Vigilante last week. Also, a fist fight between a dude holding a shield, and another with a machine gun strapped to his arm looks janky as all hell.


Hollismason posted:

Uh, it's pretty much shown in flashback that he was with the Prince and the Prince was like " I'm dying with my people" and Mon El was like " Peace out"
Right, but that's the story Kara knows and clearly there's something else going on. I'm saying that maybe the prince wasn't actually so self-sacrificing, and Mon-El stabbed him in the back or something to escape.

The producers (if not the marketing people) were super upfront about how little this episode of Supergirl had to do with the event as a whole.

Also, Mon-El as the prince of Daxim theory confirmed?

Eh, it worked out better this way. I like Supergirl living in basically the Donner Superman world without having to retcon some "oh yeah, there was always a god living in Metropolis, we just never bothered to mention him" bullshit into Arrow and Flash.

Agreed. Remember when Barry popped over last year? He was infinitely more enjoyable than on his own show. It says a lot for the main Supergirl writers.

That's because Barry didn't have to carry any of the drama of the show.

I'm not sure why they didn't give the "looks like my cousin" joke to Supergirl where it would have made more sense, giving it to Routh, while funny, was like someone trying to wink but they end up blinking both eyes repeatedly.

Because it was funnier coming from the person we didn't expect to make the comparison.
