Good pull! I can imagine Johns referencing the trope, too—it wasn’t that I thought anyone saying the words “angry black man” was intrinsically racist. It’s more that that’s the closest Fisher came to actually making a case that he’d suffered from racial animus (there are definitely contexts where people could use the…

I quite liked the Himalayan seer’s dad jokes.

- The mural looks like M’gann, yet we haven’t seen nor heard from her once since the return from hiatus. I am assuming COVID, but IIRC, the only mention was that she was looking after National City while everyone else went into the Phantom Zone.

a good reminder that at least for me, since season 6 ended, Archer has been more like a pretty good drama with occasionally funny bits than the genius comedy it was seasons 1-6.  The problem is that these days, I need all the comedy I can get; drama I have plenty of.

That moment where Archer quietly just puts his hand on crying Lana’s shoulder. Perfect!

Yeah I suppose if the councilwoman who wants to demolish the low income housing project suddenly turns into a supervillain then you have good excuse to turn Kelly into Guardian and just easy mode through all the rest of the stuff.

- Supergirl’s cheesy ad for greens is hilarious since in-universe she eats almost nothing BUT unhealthy food.

Caroline, I could not agree more. This was the most frustrating episode of the season.

I hope they make this version of Bruno Mannheim a cannibal as he’s sometimes been in the comics. Maybe he can eat Kelly & Alex and put an end to all the Guardian/Sentinel nonsense.

The relationship’s grown on me, but that scene at the end where Kelly comes home and Alex hands her a glass of wine and they chat feels like someone trying too hard to paint a perfect home life scenario. Like if they’d given Alex pearls it could’ve been a modern Leave it to Beaver.

Nia: My mother loved owls.

I liked the episode but I did not like the ending. I do not want Supergirl to go the arrowverse route and keep adding heroes. For real like the Supergirl team includes Dreamer, Manhunter, Supergirl, Brainy, Alex, and now Guardian Kelly. That is 6 people fighting one villain, 7 if you include Ms. Martian. Like 4 of…

ZERO chemistry.  And can we point out that Alex’s ‘hero’ makeup looks like she is intentionally trying to mimic drag makeup?  Because her makeup as ‘hero’ is absolute shite, like a 5 year old who gets into a makeup store overnight, but straighter lines (not that that’s any good point).

GAWD thank you, Nia of all people has dealt with dishonest people so MANY times and trusted and learned, well, SAID she learned a lesson, but EVERYTIME with shit writing like this one of the ‘adults’ is suddenly a gullible idiot child and it’s infuriating as audience. It’s also STUPID that PULITZER AND Kryptonian Kara…

Oh yeah that reminds me, they released promo pics of her as Guardian and holy shit, they gave her a more comic accurate Guardian outfit and it looks so much worse than James version. And James’s version was pretty bad looking to begin with.

Twitter was going ga-ga over Kelly-as-Guardian (even getting her trending) and it just made me roll my eyes. Especially since most of these people hated James in the role.

I appreciated that Nia was almost smart enough not to  fall for Nyxly’s fifth-dimensional trickery & knew she shouldn’t trust her & should listen to the owl. But  wanting to see your dead mom is a pretty powerful motivation 

You just reminded me of one thing I meant to include in my post. I LOVE that they never showed Clark having one nanosecond of doubt or jealousy about John Henry. Their love is so strong and true that even her husband from another timeline showing up can’t touch it. This show has made that such a strong foundation and…

I am glad that Lana & to a lesser extent the rest of her family are staying on Smallville/ the show. Also liked her returning Clark’s mention of meeting her best friend in Smallville. Their relationship was a bit underserved this year but the seeds were laid for doing more with it I think, including Kyle’s obviously…

I don’t recall Degaton in S1 of Legends, but he’s a pretty major JSA villain in the comics.
