Originally in the comics Kryptonians weren't a space-faring race. But in the show yeah. Kara has mentioned having visited a dozen planets back in Season 1. Either space travel is common, in which case people can escape, or it's not. This is a major example of bad writing.

It may also be that Kara believed Mon-el's mom when she said Daxam needed him and she was putting their needs first. It didn't look like it was an easy decision for her.

At heart, she isn't Supergirl, she's Kara. Supergirl is who she is when she's wearing the suit. She has a valid reason for keeping that part of her life private. There's a difference between privacy and deceit. Mon-El lied about being the prince because he was ashamed; Kara has no reason to be ashamed of being…

The bodyguard represents the culture of Daxam, the environment that made Mon-El who and what he was. But even then he hadn't totally bought into it. He wanted to help the woman in his bed; he was ashamed enough to lie to Kara and company.

My guess is that they'll be together again at the end of the musical crossover. I've been saying we won't see Mon-El next season but somehow I don't think this is the end for Kara+Mon-El

They aren't in any danger. Really? And you know this for certain? They can always just come back. Again, how? Alex couldn't turn the ship around and neither could Winn. Does Alex just hope there's someone on board who can fly it? Or they can just set up shop somewhere else. Sure. They can "set up shop" on a prison…

Pete Ross would be a connection to the Smallville TV series. Beyond that, there's Comet the superhorse, who could become human when a comet was visible and was in love with Supergirl; Brainiac 5 from the future; a merman from Atlantis named Jerro; and Dick Malverne, who dated her secret identity. Beyond that, here's a…

Let's see. Alex can shoot Lillian, which makes for great short-term gratification, or she can save the dozens of innocents on board the ship, which makes more short-term sense. In other words, Alex acted like a human being instead of being calculating like what you wanted to see. There are "in show" reasons as well as…

First, Alex spending an undetermined amount of time on a prison planet isn't great, at least in part because I don't know how you think they'd be able to rescue her. Earth doesn't have interstellar space ships. Second, if they don't "let the genocidal baddies walk" there won't be any "genocidal baddies" for the next…

I don't know whether stopping "a spaceship on full turbo" is a new thing for Kara or not. Her powers are all over the place. We've seen her not be able to keep a plane from crashing in the pilot (and her and Superman together not be able to keep a space shuttle from crashing in the season premier) but we've also seen…

I'm still not clear on what "CatCo resources" she's supposed to have used. She wrote the article on her personal laptop, right? And uploaded the blog post from home using her own Internet connection, right? Sure, she wrote and researched the story on CatCo time but once Snapper rejected it, was it still CatCo…

Jimmy's (excuse me, James') presence reminds everyone "She's Superman with a skirt." The folks behind the series clearly think viewers need to be reminded constantly that there's a connection to Superman instead of letting the series and the character rise or fall in its/her own. Jimmy/James and Lucy Lane were an item…

It doesn't matter whether it's a cargo ship or an Imperial Star Destroyer, it's a starship with a faster-than-light drive. We don't have that technology. CADMUS could reverse engineer it. An advanced propulsion system would run on fusion or maybe something like antimatter or dark energy. Any of those could be…

I like Snapper Carr too. He's the guy who challenges people to be their best, like J'onn/Hank Henshaw. Last season, Supergirl/Kara needed nurturing and Cat Grant was good at that. This time around, she needs to learn discipline and he was (I say was because he's not her boss any more) good at that. She can't say "I…

Oh, I agree. I think it's hilarious, especially since it was an obvious reference to your hero Trump. The fact that you can't distinguish between a hypothetical remark and a statement of fact (well, a "fact" within the confines of the show since it's all fiction) and now you're telling me to "quit crying" because I…

He probably doesn't care for the show's political leanings and he's upset that other people like it so he's blaming other shows like The Daily Show or Full Frontal. Those shows do go overboard sometimes and Supergirl tends to be somewhat heavy handed but it's still enjoyable even if the writing is below par sometimes.

Honestly, I have no idea what "TDS" he's referring to but The Daily Show seemed reasonable. I mean, what effect could Total Dissolved Solids or TDS Telecom possibly have on someone's taste in TV?

Probably a reference to The Daily Show, a left-leaning show that does satire based on the news: http://www.cc.com/shows/the…

How come in the Pilot none of her neighbors apparently noticed Alex talking through the door VERY LOUDLY about telling Kara not to use her powers? How come nobody noticed Kara and Clark standing on a street corner talking about being superheroes and having secret identities at the beginning of this season? At least…

Yes, absolutely. More adorkable Kara! (I'm not a fan of Livewire but I love her for giving us the word "adorkable." Actually, I guess more appropriately I love Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Caitlin Parrish, who wrote the Livewire episode.) I've been saying lately that each episode needs to have a Supergirl story, a Kara…
