Lena’s wedding outfit was powerful indeed. I thought nothing would top Alex’s suit but, welp.

- This fucking show.

The fact that the show kept Calista Flockhart’s return a surprise.

“Rehash of everything FromSoft has already done.”

I feel like a lot of Supergirl’s post season 2 writing was damaged by the Trump presidency. Which I realize is a statement that sounds kind of ridiculous, but it was after 2016 that the show really started going all in on the metaphors about immigration. And like, it’s great that the writing staff was taking a very…

Exactly this. This was what broke season 4 so badly. After the ending of season 3 promised us a Supergirl version of Red Son, instead we got a ham-fisted metaphor of aliens as immigrants, delivered so poorly that until he suddenly went full-on cartoon evil for no reason and then turned out to be backed by Lex Luthor…

I agree. I’ve never liked Andrea but Julie Gonzalo is a good actress. I wish she had a better character to play.

Unfortunately, this is how a lot of shows deal with “themes” now. They pick a hot topic - the plight of immigrants, gay people, trans people, or just general feminism - and find something in their story that is vaguely analogous in some way, and pretend that they’re identical, so that they can teach us the correct…

I loved season 1 Thawne but he did suffer diminishing returns as The Flash series kept trotting him out whenever their new villains weren’t quite working. Lex on Supergirl is consistently written at a tier above even the main characters at times, and I think he appears just sparingly enough that you’re always wanting…

I assume Cindy inherited a fair amount from her father. Don’t know if her step-mom being also dead means there will be some kind of trust or conservator, though. But she probably knows where the secret stash is hidden.

How chaotic this season has been is probably a fitting legacy for this show, so much potential and often nearly great but also just a lot of noise and false starts too.

Jon Cryer as Lex is sort of in his own league as an ArrowVerse villain. Manu Bennett as Slade Wilson and Tom Cavanagh as Thawne were also perfect but you can’t really compare them.

William was an unnecessary addition to an already large cast but I didn’t hate him. He was certainly more likeable than Andrea.

Jon Cryer as Lex is so, so good, it’s been a few years and I still can’t believe how perfect he is as Lex. 

“Kara was trying to help and made good points, Alex was being a bit of a shit with her “don’t tell me how to raise my kid who entered my life about 4 days ago” stuff.”

Yeah it’s like comparing apples that are slightly different from ‘normal’ apples with oranges that can blow up a city.

It was nice of the show to remember that Lena and Andrea share a personal history, and to give Katie McGrath something to say that wasn’t tongue-twisting exposition.

Here lies William, he never learned Kara was Supergirl. I was, btw, fairly convinced Esme was going to spill the beans to William about Kara’s identity, but I guess that’s moot now! The show never quite figured out how best to use William, though baking buddy was probably the closest they got in that regard.

So much of the evil plotting on these shows is high concept to the point of goofiness, which of course we are all clamoring for because it’s fun, but then to have a villain use a gun — not a nanobot wrist thingy, but an actual recognizable weapon — to plug an innocent for basically no reason, well, as the Youths might…
