My usual random observations:

I see. So a “lil white girl” can’t be misguided, doesn’t deserve a chance of redemption. Good to know. I’m sure if I said the same thing about a “lil black girl” it would be fine?

For that matter, Supergirl wears her costume under her clothes. Where does the cape go? What about the skirt when she’s wearing pants? What about the boots and tights when she’s wearing a dress/skirt?

Amen to that last one. I’ve never understood the Kara+Lena shipping and I’m glad it’s apparently dead.

It’s not just shady, underhanded stuff, it’s the underlying thinking. Lena said she doesn’t think about Supergirl when she’s working on anti-Kryptonian tech but counting Reign there are exactly three Kryptonians on Earth. Not thinking about how what you do affects bystanders is irresponsible at minimum and

If Ruby knows Alex hangs out with Martians, how long until she figures out Alex isn’t just an FBI agent?

Lena’s company makes an alien detector because “people have a right to know if their friends are human.” Lena has been willing to kill her enemies. Lena conducted secret experiments on a worldkiller because she’s the only one who can save us all (speaking of having a “god complex.”) And Lena lied about having more

I could’ve sworn she was mentioned as having been killed by Blight.

Has it been established that J’onn is vulnerable to fire or is he just really afraid of it? Plus, fire has legitimate uses, unlike kryptonite.

The business of James revealing his identity next week could have interesting resonances for his and Kara’s relationship going forward.

Let’s see, “countless people” who should be posting about bad writing have chosen instead to take sides in Lena vs. Kara, so that makes Lena right. As for Kara trusting her friends, she trusts Winn and James with her identity. She gets to decide how much she shares with individual friends. Frankly I’m sick of hearing

Sam—or at least her Reign part—does presumably have Kryptonian DNA, and House El has been involved in some nasty stuff in the past, so I guess it’s possible she and Kara are related somehow but I think it’s unlikely.

Random, vaguely human shapes have been visible but we had no idea who they were or what their connection to the story might be. From what we’ve seen, the writers either forgot about them or didn’t have a clue. They finally just made up the Blight victims crap as a way to hand wave them.

It would be more interesting to have Ruby end up with Lena. Imagine a human/worldkiller hybrid with the potential to develop super powers—and under Lena’s control. You can imagine how Lena’s “recruitment speech” might go: “Ruby, sweetheart, remember, you were safe in the mansion until Alex showed up. It was only after

I don’t think the writers knew about the Legionnaires in the pods until they made it up.

Wasn’t Ayla mentioned as being dead?

No, Kara threw the lying-bitch-with-kryptonite card in her face. And she’s the only one who can defeat Reign? Funny, I saw a team effort. That kind of hubris on Lena’s part will have consequences down the road.

Exactly. It seems forced, out of character for Kara, and badly written.

It does kinda blunt Lena’s self righteousness though. She specifically said she didn’t have any more of Lex’s kryptonite but she conveniently failed to mention that she could make the stuff. Clearly she’s an “ask forgiveness not permission” type. Couple that with her absolute faith in her own genius and you have the

I never bought Cat recognizing James by a glimpse of his eyes. It seemed more likely that she put his basic size together with Winn’s remark about designing his weapons and figured who he probably was.
