I thought “Netflix’s Old Tentpole” was a good one.

Well, it ended 5 seasons later than it should have. The premise is inherently self-limiting and would have worked better as just a limited-series run, like the original British version.

If only there was a convenient metaphor for how all this is collapsing.

Wouldn’t life be so much better for so many people if they could just meet Sara Lance.

It’s a shame, because Hallelujah is such a great emotional song - but yes, it has been dramatically overused.

This was a lot more somber than the show usually goes for but I rather liked it. I think this tone - at least every once in a while - is an interesting fit for the series. And I enjoyed having a “villain” that wasn’t some crazy powered person that was just destroying parts of the city for selfish gain.

Willie Wonka and Leonard Cohen in as many minutes was quite the hat trick.

I teared up also when Alex got into bed with Maggie & realized she was going to soon have to break up with her ... I felt better for Alex though knowing the crossover is coming and she is soon going to meet Sara Lance

I definitely feel you on this critique. Drawing attention to the actual mechanics of Kara’s disguise always feels fairly silly. I’m mostly trying to stick to the show’s “just go with it” vibe, but I understand why it’s a sticking point for others.

I continue to believe that Lena knows that Kara is Supergirl (if Cat did knew, why wouldn’t she, the new head of CatCo, also know) but prefers to flirtily deny it.

But Maggie was able to figure it out. Alex and her even had a joke about how bad the glasses were as a disguise. But I do agree that the inconsistency of who has figured it out versus who hasn’t is weird, probably more due to plot purposes than anything else though.

Agreed. I was prepared to jokingly add ‘Leader of a cult devoted to her’ to the list of “People Who Somehow Can’t See Through Kara’s Disguise”*, but then he did and it just made me laugh at how everyone else on the list somehow can’t/couldn’t.

I get why they had the cult guy see through Kara’s disguise, but I wish they hadn’t. It’s one thing to believe that in this world glasses is basically a magical face changing disguise, it’s another to have some characters see through it, and have other characters, like Lena, who just don’t realise. It makes Lena seem…

As a concept I absolutely adored this episode, because it was more literate than the show usually strives for. The sight gag of the “days without an accident” counter at the burning factory ticking down from 190 to 0 was maybe the best subtle joke the show’s ever done too.

This was an interesting episode that seems not only to have bit off more to chew than the average episode, but also manages to swallow it. Who wouldn’t consider Supergirl a somewhat religious figure?

Man, even with Hallelujah being overplayed that last montage got me a bit misty eyed. And damn, poor Alex.

I skipped all of these and went to see the director’s cut of Little Shop of Horrors instead.

Anecdotal evidence alert:

The cynical part of me thinks that studios and big names are canceling projects and cutting ties with accused predators only so they can be on the right side of the issue in the media and public opinion. But...the result is the same, so I’ll take it.

Frank Underwood was within Reed Hastings all along.
