I get a kick out of the probable Alex and Maggie romance, because the only other place I've seen Maggie's actress before is on the short-lived ABC show The Family, where she played a reporter that started the main character's sister's first lesbian relationship. Just feels like very specific typecasting.

Knormal posted:Just my guess so not actual spoilers, but it seems pretty obvious to me knowing how TV shows go that he's actually the prince, and just made up the last part of his escape story so he could prince and the pauper it up. It explains why he's an arrogant jerk who doesn't actually know how to do anything. For that matter, why does Kara have a first name and then Zor-El as a last name, while the others are just Kal-El and Mon-El? Was she given that name on Earth, because I thought I remembered her mother calling her that before she got in the pod?

Last season, for instance, Sara had one roll in the sheets with Marie Antoinette and exchanged meaningful looks with Guinevere, and that's about it. Didn't she also basically introduce lesbianism in Salem, and almost get hanged for witchcraft as a result?

I at least appreciated Kara pointing out to Jimmy that his whole Lena confession was kind of a lovely thing for him to do as her friend. Especially since he didn't actually go through with it, so there wasn't even really a lie he had to tell. He was just basically saying "Supergirl wanted me to spy on you because she doesn't trust you, but don't worry because I trust you and would never do that." Very self-serving.

I really can't believe that Argo turned out to actually be a piece of Krypton, and that Kara's mother is actually still alive there. That feels like it should be a huge, huge deal, but everyone was just kind of taking everything in stride, to the point where I was sure it would turn out to be a trick of some kind. But nope, there's just a whole bunch of Kryptonians still alive out there. I wonder if Kara will even think to tell Clark.

Maybe? Or just be like "oh this comes way after S1" in which case they have to write around it and oh I've just gone crosseyed They've already caught up as of a couple episodes ago. Mouse escaped during the Arkham breakout shown in Elseworlds.

muscles like this! posted:Anyone else kind of tired of William after the good guy twist was revealed? He really doesn't bring much to the table other than being blandly handsome and British. The romance angle is especially bad because Kara don't need no man and also the two have zero chemistry. He still has yet to serve his most important function: dying tragically, probably at Lex's hand (which will probably be what turns Lena around)

I honestly do kind of love the notion that Alex's experiences with both Kara and Clark have taught her that people only recognize other people based off of their hair and eyes. Thus, any outfit that alters or obscures those elements is a sufficient disguise.

Iris is a legit media mogul apparently. I liked the episode but it really is jarring how incongruous the universes of this and S&L are. And it's not like with Flash and Arrow where small inconsistencies are easy enough to handwave away, these two shows are dealing with a lot of the same people and places and just presenting them in completely different ways (the Fortress of Solitude being a prime example).

Or utilize all of this insanely-advanced alien technology and the two resident super-genius intellects at your disposal to solve the problem in other ways. Kara was literally a witness to her planet's final moments and now has a trusted and respected scientist (who also happens to be her father) showing her data and telling her it's going to happen to Earth soon. That should shock her into making it a priority. Although I do have some questions about the correlation between ocean pollution and the planet straight-up exploding. Edit: Though come to think of it, isn't Brainy from thousands of years in the future? Presumably he knows Earth's situation then, so maybe they're all not too worried about it because Brainy told them it's fine.

They could have had the owl be more ambiguous - as it was before it spoke and flat out told her things she should already have known. Now it just makes Nia look implausibly dumb. Yeah rattling off things like "I have no idea who you are" and "Imps are famously untrustworthy" and "My mother's favorite symbol of wisdom is literally telling me not to trust you" combined with the complete lack of time pressure and even bothering to vaguely check in with her friends (all of whom have direct experience with at least one fifth-dimensional being) makes Nia look extremely stupid.

Vietnamwees posted:I thought it was odd that Nxly and Supergirl kept getting to redo their gauntlets over and over again without any repercussions. Kara very much had repercussions that kept her from trying it more than twice (the effects on the bystanders amplified with each failed trial). Nyxly didn't really have any reason not to try over and over I suppose, since she likely didn't know about the bystanders being affected and probably wouldn't have cared if she did. Still, it seems like both of them erred on the side of caution and tried to analyze what went wrong before dipping back in. As for Kara's solution, I thought for a minute that when she fainted it was because she passed her trial at the last minute and realized something about the value of teamwork and not being able to save everyone by herself. They kind of glossed over that, but I'm guessing if it comes up again some variation of that will be the answer.

That was probably the best finale they could've done given how much of a muddled mess this final season has been. Cat Grant was definitely the MVP, it's been so long that I had forgotten how much Flockhart added to the show. It kind of became moot once Kara revealed her identity to the whole world, but I was laughing when she gave her DEO speech at the funeral right in front of Andrea, who I believe at that point still didn't know. In all I'm glad the show got to have a proper finale. It was a very uneven show throughout, to the point where I'm pretty sure I skipped multiple episodes of several of the middle seasons, but it was good to see the whole crew come back one last time. Also RIP the Big Brain I guess.

I can understand why they felt like they had to, and Jon Cryer's performance was great as always, but I think it was probably a mistake to bring Lex back for the final stretch. The set-up was so clumsy ("I went to the future at some point offscreen, and while I was there I happened to meet you and fall madly in love, and then you died so I came back to save you 1000 years before your death"), and they changed so much about Lex's characterization by turning him into this lovesick acolyte. And the grand payoff was that despite every indication that his love was genuine and he was truly being selfless in his assistance of Nyxly, that ultimately it doesn't matter and it still ends with betrayal and a big laser fight.

Also lol the Kara/Lena shippers are FURIOUS on Twitter claiming there's a set leak showing them kissing at the end of that conversation.
