The only explanation I can think of for not using the ship is that CADMUS hates aliens so much they don't want Earth to have any contact with the outside universe. But since Lillian had no problem giving alien weapons to a bunch of goons or using Thanagarian metal to imprison Supergirl that doesn't really make sense.…

Given some of the not-so-subtle stuff the writers have done this season—or for that matter just in this episode—I wouldn't put it past them. It could be an interesting story arc. I wonder if the VP is an alien too? At one point in the comics Lex Luthor was president. Katie McGrath is 34 so Lena could be 35, the…

She can't very well say "Oh, by the way, I'm Supergirl so we can start the interview whenever you're ready," now can she? She has to talk and act as if Supergirl were a separate person. If she had said "Supergirl will be here any minute," Snapper would want to know how she knew. I have to admit, though, sometimes it…

"Spin" means to present information in a particular way. In other words, to distort the facts. That's lying. Journalism, contrary to Snapper, has a POV. Journalism schools like the one at Michigan State U. teach this. Kara writes what actually happened. She doesn't, unless you have proof, distort the facts to make…

I do respect the comics continuity and I think they've already departed from it more than enough. But there's also the Valor storyline from the comics where he spends time as a superhero named (duh!) Valor in the present. But he doesn't have to be Valor in National City, he can go to any city that needs a superhero,…

I wonder if the president is a second generation alien? If she wasn't born in the US she can't legally be president according to the Constitution, which says the president has to be a naturally born citizen. If her true identity comes out she could be impeached.

Maybe, maybe not. Mon-El is destined to end up in the future with the Legion of Superheroes so he can't stay in this time. Thus, Kara+Mon-El has to end eventually. Personally, I predict she won't have a continuing love interest but rather a sequence of them, about one per season.

You mean writing facts about herself? We haven't seen any indication that she's written anything that wasn't true. Therefore no "spin." But Snapper doesn't know that and it's his job to hold her to normal journalistic standards. I agree that it was handled clumsily and if Cat were around she would have remembered that…

I think it's more bad writing than anything else but you could be right. We'll see.

The audience needs to be constantly reminded that "She's Superman except in a skirt!" That means Jimmy (James) Olsen, Lucy Lane, Lena Luthor, Bizarro, Metallo, and anyone else they can find to remind us of Superman. Because (they think) the show can't stand on its own.

That's my theory as well. If Kara no longer works for CatCo, then anyone connected with CatCo no longer has a reason to exist. They can either just have him disappear like Lucy Lane and Max Lord or they can give him a reason to leave like with Cat.

It probably won't be IMHO. Mon-El is supposed to end up in the future with the Legion of Superheroes. That means he has to have a reason to leave the present.

Honestly, I'm not sorry Non and Astra and the whole Ft. Rozz contingent are gone. I hated Ft. Rozz as a plot device. Lucy, OTOH, had potential as a character.

IIRC, she was in last season's finale. In fact, she was second in command of the DEO. Now she's just…gone.

Max Lord last season wasn't a bad guy. That didn't keep him from having an agenda or distrusting Supers. Remember that LCorp makes a gizmo that detects aliens and Lena doesn't have a problem with that. As the saying goes, "It's not personal, it's just business."

This version of Mon-El isn't like that, he's kinda "Superman lite." It's been established that he isn't up to Supergirl's level in terms of powers. But then, he also wondered (in S2 Ep6 IIRC) why people at CatCo took the elevator instead of flying.

More to the point, the writers ceased giving it a point. Kara is more than Supergirl. She needs a life beyond the cape and tights. We still see her apartment, why not her job? I've said before, each episode needs a Supergirl story, a separate Kara story, and a supporting character story (featuring Winn, J'onn, Alex,…

At least they're dealing with betrayal and grudges. Capt. Kirk on the original Star Trek could be an absolute douche at times but nobody ever stayed mad at him, even when he deserved it.

Yes but Lena was also the first to suggest posting the article online.

"danvers.com" I think.
