Barry? Doing a crap job? The devil you say!
"This, children, is where the Flash and his team extralegally held American citizens for months without trial!"
Did anyone else hope that the villain of the week was Mr. Mind after they let Rudy go? (I didn't catch his name, so the possibility remained open longer than it should've.)
Even worse, Maggie knows that Kara is Alex's sister, but not that she is Supergirl, and that Alex and Supergirl are connected. And Kara is very conspicuously drinking alien rum twenty feet away from where she's racking up.
Hey, he's a news publisher. So he's really more of a Green Hornet ripoff.
My take was that he's not used to taking advantage of his powers, and he approached the training with Kara using his old, slow muscle memory and reflexes. He could probably beat up anyone moving the same speed as him, but Kara knows how to think and act with powers.
One of my favorite behind-the-scenes stories was about Road to Perdition, where (14 year old at the time, now Superman) Tyler Hoechlin didn't realize he was going to have to do multiple takes of the scene where he ate pie, and made himself sick by the end of filming that day. Tom Hanks knew better, took small bites,…
Mick would set Cisco, Wynn, and Curtis on fire and then go grab a beer.
Lucy's still at the old bunker. No one told her that they moved.
I think the showrunners just felt Max and Lucy weren't adding anything to the show any more. I think Lena is filling Max's ambiguous ally role and Maggie takes over the love-interest/complication/ally from Lucy.
Yep! Also, they seem to be taking some of their cues on White Martians from Young Justice, rather than the comics or JL cartoon, which (imo) is the right way to go. It was a cool dichotomy, strongest when peppy cheerleader-type Megan in YJ was naturally super-monster-form.
I'm looking forward to the next episode where it's just that alien design with what look to be white water balloons hastily After-Effects'd to the front
Without the lead weakness, why is this Mon-El?
I am curious about the lead thing. It's going to be quite a shock the first time they have the obligatory bank robbery scene and he gets shot at. A lot.
Given the design of the white martians, it's not safe to assume they display sexual dimorphism. Or, y'know, the ability to ever not look evil. That face isn't built to smile.
The original version of the character was amnesiac when he landed on Earth, so until he regained his memory, Superboy (yep, this was the good ol' days) assumed he was a Kryptonian/long-lost brother and dubbed him Mon-El.
This is an inconsequential change, but I do wonder why they named the character Mon-El (instead of, say, Lar Gand :) since they've already established Kal-El and (Kara/Alura) Zor-El. Do they want everyone in that genus to have the same family name?
Same character.
