Up until this episode Beth's parents have been low grade shitty, but tonight they moved into high grade shitty.  It's one thing to be emotionally distant, it's entirely another to dip out of a conversation the moment you have to talk about something difficult.

Cindy is a scary, manipulative bitch. She is also my favorite character on the show & one of my favorite ArrowVerse villains.

Which is what makes the Courtney/Cameron romance all the weirder. There just wasn’t enough of their involvement together for them to emotionally react to each other that way.

- For an experienced side-kick, Pat is still making rookie superhero mistakes.
- So even Cameron’s grandmother has cold powers. Does this mean a different origin story for them?
- Yolanda: Hi, Cameron. So NOT glad to see you. Courtney, ignore him. *cough*Jealousy*cough*
- I get the feeling that Cindy is going to drop a…

I assumed it was Berry doing Lazlo doing a half-assed Nandor, because Lazlo would not really try that hard to do Nandor.

A lot of time has passed since he was “caged” down there. He’s been trying to convince them to go back to the way things used to be so he can sit on his throne and create his own number two. He probably just told them.

I was thoroughly amused by the subtext though. “You know, I’m not sure I can really be my best self and truly help the community unless I give myself permission to put on a costume and rough up some motherfuckers from time to time. I mean, shit, everyone else I know is doing it.”

I would think having both parents out fighting crime every night would be a problem for fostering kids. That and Alex’s complete lack of job or source of income.

I am still waiting for some to say. Do you ever notice that Kara Danvers and Supergirl have the exact same scar on their foreheads?

That J’onn still works as a PI should mean someone would recognize his face and link him to Martian Manhunter, or at the very least it shouldn’t take Andrea much effort to track him down and be knocking at his door 24/7 for an exclusive.

I mean I feel the central issue with Guardian is a bigger problem in the Arrowverse shows in that everyone, literally everyone, has to be a superhero in some manner. Even characters where it makes absolutely no sense for them to have such an identity.

I go between really disliking Cindy to feeling sorry for her. Ultimately, she’s just a kid, but she’s a kid who needs a lot of therapy.

I am not convince that the Starman we have been seeing is actually Starman.

Nia: My mother loved owls.

she kind of is going BuzzFeed, though, with the split between actual news and whatever clickbait BS gets them eyeballs.

re: Alex’s old DEO people, I really would’ve loved to see Agent Piper Vazquez pop up again.

-Pulitzer Prize winner Kara got absolutely snowed by the prison-industrial complex. I always wonder how much Supergirl intends to critique journalists with these storylines and how much is an accident.

Yea, I took a second look at it, since I only briefly saw it before. I hope those braids are a part of the costume, as stupid as that is, and not supposed to be her natural hair.

Does anyone else wonder who’s now watching the kids at the foster home? It’s not like there’s a surplus, or even nearly enough, qualified people available at a moment’s notice to take over one.

I'm pretty sure it's just the same suit with gold spray paint.
