The noncompete clause was the reason Snapper Carr fired Kara but they don't work the way Andrea says they do in the real world.

“Speaking of James, please don’t turn him into a Nick Fury type of character. The eye patch? Really? No.”

If he lost his shape shifting ability wouldn't he be frozen in his current form?

Presumably you're referring to the matter transmitter portals. I'm pretty sure they need both a transmitter and receiver, which means he'd have to get the receiver to Argo. Plus, I'm not sure about sending a beam through a matter transmitter. We never figured out what kind of beam the claymores were using either. If…

I agree they’ll probably reconcile eventually, largely because they’re not that different. Lena has spent a large chunk of her adult life wishing people wouldn’t look at her as “a Luthor.” By the same token, Kara wanted a friend who didn’t look at her as “a Super.” It must have felt good to Lena to have someone who…

I don't recall Darkseid ever being a Supergirl thing but I haven't read all the comics and I could easily be wrong.

Never watched Gotham but I gotta disagree about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I haven't cared about it for at least two seasons, not since before the Ghost Rider arc.

Which means they spent half this episode and a good chunk of the last one trying to solve a non-problem.

Crisis came about because Marv Wolfman hated the idea of multiple Earths. And since he was considered a wunderkind he got his way and the whole company jumped on the bandwagon. The mechanism (a cross universe cloud of antimatter) showed Wolfman's typical poor grasp of basic science but all the Earths except one were…

Not even a retired Congressperson. A former Congressional staffer would be fine. While you’re at it, you might as well add a middle school science teacher and someone with a basic understanding of journalism.

I don’t remember Max Lord being “full on villain.” I thought they kept him morally ambiguous. His “we need to save ourselves and not depend on supers” idea was certainly much more reasonable than Lex’s “I don’t want people to think supers are heroes because I want to be the hero.”

I haven't read the comics in years but apparently "Leviathan" is a thing there at the moment: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comics/series/141917/event-leviathan

So the fact that there’s never going to be a perfect time automatically means there’ll never be a better time? In the comics, Superman kept his secret from Lois and Jimmy literally for years. At one point he proposed to Lois as Clark and only told her afterward. It’s her secret and she—meaning the writers—gets to…

“I was kind of hoping that Brainy would somehow modify the satellite beam into a “super signal” so that when Lex inevitably fell from the sky it would be Superman racing back from Argo who would save him and drive him that much crazier.”

“why did they save Mikhail if he was never going to show up again?”

You mean when Alex told Kara to wait a day and not dump more crap on a friend who had just been through a lot? Not to never tell her but just to wait one day? Seemed reasonable to me.

Then by the same token Kara isn't an idiot either because she only did what the writers wanted her to do.

Or she comes to her senses and realises Lex is still evil and manipulative while Kara is a basically good person who happens to have a secret. Of course, that won’t happen because where’s the potential for drama?

Granted he wasn't a full-on bad guy but Max Lord had considerable (untapped) potential. I also miss Morgan Edge.

My usual random thoughts:
