I don't necessarily think Kara should have killed Astra or anything. But having her be absent for the entire scene and then just swoop in at the end after she gets a phone call felt kind of lame. Could lead to great drama down the road, but felt too inert here.

Thanks for pointing that out! It's linked in the review now.

Good point. Especially because Kara almost always wears flats at work herself. I mean not that Hank knows that, but still.

If I'm being totally honestly, I originally had a longer opening paragraph discussing Snyder's darker take on Superman and that fact that Supergirl (the TV show) is the one current live-action property exploring the original Superman comic book ethos. But I ended up cutting that for length and probably simplified my…

I was going off of Jeremy Jordan's tweet, but I do agree that the creators probably knew there was a strong possibility of the show getting additional episodes and designed this episode to function either way,

Agreed. And its weirdly short scenes (which I keep meaning to talk about in these reviews) don't help things either. Instead of giving characters room to breath, everything is very rushed.

Given how much they love Glee actors, I feel like it's only a matter of time before Jacob Artist shows up on one of these Berlanti superhero shows.

Ooh yeah then it totally makes sense why you were confused!

Supergirl uses its ensemble in a very weird way. Sometimes it really feels like they are just there to deliver one line.

Ever since it was revealed that Lord forced a former employee to plant bombs in order to get his child medical care, I've put him firmly in the "supervillain" camp. So this episode felt pretty in character to me.

"We need parents for this episode. Benedict are yours free?"
"Probably."

Can we talk about the fact that Blake Jenner got cast on Glee after winning the reality show "The Glee Project." He was supposed to just win a guest role but then was cast as a lead AND met his wife on the show. Talk about making a smart choice to be on a reality competition.

Lord is the only one who actually strikes me as creepy. I find both Winn and James to be flawed but in a believable twenty-something-figuring-their-shit-out way. They're both pretty likable dudes, especially now that it's clear the show isn't going to argue that Winn "deserves" Kara.

Yeah I caught the word Prometheus but not the rest of the title and thought maybe the episode was trying to allude to Frankenstein in an oblique way by referencing just its subtitle.

Damn, I am getting schooled all over the place here. Thanks though. Correcting now!

At one point Cat calls out Kara for not having kissed Adam yet and she says "We've only been on a few dates." But when Kara's "breaking up" with him it sounds like they only went on two aborted dates so who knows.

Giggling about Adam's text in front of Winn felt especially cruel. I mean I guess she gave him enough time and space that he's good with being friends now but still, have some tact.

Man I just picked anti-kryptonite as a phrase to try to describe it. Should have expected the comics would have already used it.

I suppose the 1959 setting is what made this casting particularly noticeable to me. Sure the world wasn't as segregated as in the 1920s, but I feel like many productions would point to the era in defense of an all-white cast being more "historically accurate." I was glad Grease Live didn't take that route. And given…
