That's not how humanoid aliens in superhero universes work.

The show used "Stronger Together" before the Clinton campaign did. At the time I wondered if they'd picked it up from "Supergirl".

There are people in reality whose lives are strongly affected by marriages which aren't legally recognized. (E.g., agunot, orthodox Jewish women who have a civil divorce but not a religious one, which can only be granted by the husband.) It's not implausible for Kara and Mon-El to consider a marriage conducted under…

They actually did back at the beginning. (Though as on The Flash, friction and battle damage only become a problem when dramatically or comedically called for.) But Winn was able to make her a durable outfit as the computer guy at Catco with no special financial or scientific resources beyond his own capabilities. …

So the recurring question of last season was "Where's Superman?" and this one's is "why can't Cat and Lena see through Kara's secret identity?"

That she was at Radcliffe at the same time Cat was is a pointer to her having been born in the twentieth century.

Though the extent to which citizenship is transmissible by a nonresident citizen mother has varied over the years. Hippolyta might be a citizen if we get an unrevealed 18th century adventure (though usually she hasn't left the island between classical and modern times), but whether Diana is would depend a lot on when…

You're right, though the reason was more contrived than that. (While Mon-El had amnesia, Superboy concocted the theory that Mon-El was his brother. Superboy then decided it wasn't true, and that Mon-El had been lying— even though he'd never actually made the claim. So he tried exposing Mon-El to kryptonite while he…

Somehow. I sort of wish they hadn't had her under wreckage, since my suspension of disbelief would have less trouble if I could imagine that she'd done some quick shapeshifting to enact her own escape. (E.g. shifting to extremophile to deal with the heat of the explosion, then to a bird or insect to get down to the…

What with Cat's promotion to general dispenser of wisdom and possessor of the secret of happiness, I do sort of wonder if she's slated to nobly lay down her life in the finale. (Thus saving Callista Flockhart further travel to Vancouver.)

"They can raise tremendous weights, outrace a streamline train, leap an eighth of a mile, and nothing less than a bursting shell can pierce their skin-"

Nit: back when he was getting started, he said he has a black belt. Granted, that's more a sporting achievement than a qualification to mix it up in street fighting let alone fighting alien soldiers, but he does have martial arts training to that extent.

That's sort of par for the course for war zones. President Marsden should probably make the US a hostile environment for Daxamites by restoring tetraethyl lead to gasoline and making catalytic converters illegal for the duration.

"Due to contrived circumstances, the clay statue from which she was originally brought to life contained American soil, so by jus soli…"

It does seem as if the show is going out of its way to reinforce Cadmus's underlying justification. Not the terrorism and mass murder, but the basic thesis about the alien threat is increasingly supported as multiple shapeshifting aliens secretly insinuate themselves into positions of power.

I'd think the fact that Supergirl will (obviously) defeat him one way or another next week on her way to confronting Rhea should be empowering enough.

In my experience, it's the taxis who drive as if life were cheap.

They would be, if only I could get the folks who figure the whole train wants to hear their music to use them.

I'd personally rather they be on the margins of a four color superhero world than a grimdark one. So not so much everyone barely suppressing PTSD as understanding, as a matter of course, that Earth is ineffectually invaded a couple of times a year, and: "hey, did you know that guy in accounting turned out to be one…

On the one hand, I don't disagree. (The best radio detective series of them all[1] was centered on someone in the insurance industry, after all.)
