Yeah, "Nosedive" is probably about comparable with the present, just turned 45 degrees or so. So some people are comfortable, some less so, some in truly dire straits, and money and social capital are both important. (She could have moved into her preferred housing development with her current rating if she could pay…

Even if the technology allowed it, you'd want to keep it in pretty close sync as long as you have both visitors and full-timers. Otherwise you go back the next week and that cutie you hooked up with is either gone or ten thousand years old.

Though note that 9/11 itself did not in fact result in interning or deporting Muslims.

"So does this mean I'm 'James-El'?"

Well they had "no concept of right or wrong"! (Or any "silly concepts of honor and trustworthiness".) Every single one of them, forever, without hope of individual or cultural change, evidently.

In some ways it's the opposite of the Byrne setup: Maggie was (maybe) out in-universe, but not to the viewing public if they didn't have outside knowledge. :-)

They could split the difference, and have a Corps GL other than Hal in Supergirl (John Stewart is the obvious choice given the show's inclinations), and introduce Alan Scott with a magic-powered ring as a JSA member in Legends of Tomorrow.

To be fair, it always takes a while to show up the first time. (Since otherwise any retelling of Mon-El's origin would be "Hi!" falls over from environmental lead contamination Especially in the 50s, when we were pumping tetraethyl lead into the air out of every car exhaust pipe.)

It'd be sort of entertaining if the Daxamites mopped the floor with US forces, only to go down like a ton of bricks when they tried to invade Corto Maltese or Qurac or Kasnia, because third world tinpot states hadn't gotten around to buying fancy new bullets.

I was a little surprised that the DEO could tell the difference between a signal directed at Krypton and one directed at Daxam. There's so much wrong with that I don't know where to begin.

Guy was always more Reaganite than Trumpian.

The teases are generally subtle— Ferris Aircraft signs, a jacket in an Air Force bar reading "Jordan", etc., so it's never been clear that they plan to do anything with it other than easter eggs.

It's not inconceivable that Mon-El will wind up joining the Legion in the future for the same reasons he did in the comics.

His real name was always Lar Gand. After the Crisis he went through a couple of other sobriquets: "Valor", then "M'onel" ("Martian for 'wanderer'!) before eventually becoming Mon-El again.

Though that reminds me that while Daxam was never in Krypton's solar system, Halk Kar's homeworld of Thoron was.

They've been teasing Hal Jordan for years in "Arrow" and "The Flash" over on Earth-1, so it seems more likely that a GL will show up there if anywhere. (Especially given Hal's longstanding relationships with Ollie and Barry in the comics.)

It seems especially strange to sign the Alien Amnesty Act at a public ceremony in National City without a suitable alien for the President to tell their story and have a photo op with them. Sure, Supergirl, but there should be someone unknown to the public with a sympathetic backstory, whom the act is allowing to…

30 years later, she's introduced on a TV show (live action—-she's already been the first out lesbian on a Saturday Morning cartoon)

Especially considering that nearly everyone who knows her knows both identities. With Cat gone, the only person she's just Kara Danvers to on a regular basis is Snapper.

Daxam's fate (and for that matter its sharing a system with Krypton) is also cribbed from that of Argo, Supergirl's home in the 90s DCAU animated series.
