> Speaking of Gideon: her mean-version’s logic, where changing the timeline so close to a cataclysmic event such as Chernobyl doesn’t have any serious ramifications because of the chaos involved, feels like it was plucked from Marvel’s time-travel show, Loki.

In The Pale Moonlight is widely regarded as one of the greatest Star Trek episodes of all time, for its complex handling of a serious moral dilemma, measuring some very serious crimes against the pressing weight of the greater good. You have to wonder if an episode like that could ever get made today, on *any* TV

> This finale punts all our Sylvester Pemberton questions to next season, but I still want to know what was up with him visiting Pat’s ex-wife at that diner.

Exactly this. This was what broke season 4 so badly. After the ending of season 3 promised us a Supergirl version of Red Son, instead we got a ham-fisted metaphor of aliens as immigrants, delivered so poorly that until he suddenly went full-on cartoon evil for no reason and then turned out to be backed by Lex Luthor

> So Dr. McNider IS blind.

One thing worth noting: we didn’t see exactly what Pat did to Matt, but we *did* see Matt crying out while Pat was still several feet away, with his back turned, closing the blinds.
