S1 Wells was great as a menacing villain, but I never felt he was very fleshed out. Up till today we still have zero clue why he hated Barry so much that he even went back in time to kill his mother, we're just supposed to, y'know, conveniently accept that that's a thing you do when you hate someone badly enough for…

If Flash can copy-paste the same plot it had in S1 for the next two seasons, Supergirl sure can copy-paste the plot Merlin had for Morgana.

I agree completely, although I'd suggest predictability isn't a bad thing, just as unpredictability isn't always a good thing. What's particularly satisfying about Lena for me is that we might have no idea whether she'll go good or evil, but the story has set up her conflict well enough that either path sounds…

Yeah, at the rate Supergirl is going, Mon-el and Kara is going to have an angst-filled ride which'll include love triangles and third parties, jealousy hijinks and cock-blocking to "keep the other person to themselves" before they even get together, followed swiftly by a break up the next day because Kara "needs to…

I agree with you (frankly, I don't like the idea of James being able to just go out there as Guardian and handle himself so apparently perfectly. At least in Arrow and AoS Daisy and Laurel got extensive training from experienced fighters/vigilantes AND still got their butts kicked at times.), but it still might…

I like how Flash doesn't even merit a mention in your list.

In all fairness, Metallo as a vilain confuses me, because I thought he was simply powered by kryptonite. So he would be effective against Kara and Clark, but J'onn, Alex and James should be able to take him down with some difficulty.

He seems to be fighting Metallo, so at least we'll get some cool fight scenes out of it.

It would be REALLY interesting if she's just weirdly possessive/unused to not being the center of attention. It's been pretty explicit, within the show, that Kara has always been the center of the universe for the people around her, sort of. Narratively, we know it's probably because she's the main character, but…

I'm exceedingly creeped out by the fact that the show just tried to pair off what's essentially a Holocaust survivor and a former Nazi. I know forgiveness and redemption is supposed to be the whole point of their arc, but damn, that is one icky relationship.

I mean, Mon-el made it perfectly clear that he was going to try and close the door on that relationship. I can understand she had trouble expressing her feelings at that point, but either way he didn't really do anything wrong in trying to move on, especially when he'd been pretty honest with her about the whole thing.

I hate that they seem to be setting up ANOTHER love triangle with Kara/Mon/Tessmacher. It's like the show didn't learn any lessons at all from last season; any time Supergirl made James jealous of Barry, or Kara jealous of Lucy they became thoroughly dislikable characters, and I'm worried we're going down that route…

The Archie/Veronica dynamic and their parents' relationship really feels like a Gossip Girl castoff. You could pretty much just sub Serena = Veronica as reformed bad girl trying to do good, Archie = Dan as self-righteous male lead and their parents as Serena and Dan's parents (I don't remember their names).

The show is signalling Mon-El and Kara bloody hard at this point. I like their chemistry, but it feels sibling-like to me, and I'm side-eying the show for rapidly setting up Mon as an LI after dumping James under the pretense of "having Kara focus on herself".

Nope, it's cos he's buff as fk. Dude, just look at his muscles - he's got bigger guns than anyone else in the show and is basically built like a tank. Of course he looks intimidating (as opposed to say, Curtis, who's also black, but has noodle arms and looks like everyone's chipper best friend).

He did LOOK a lot better playing up the threatening physicality of his physique rather than playing his usual "buff but nice guy" act. A more rebellious/violent characterization might make him seem more dynamic.

I mean, Kara is young enough, and her flings with Jimmy and Adam were brief enough that they could argue it away as her being "confused". And if we're arguing on word technicalities, Alex would be a lesbian and it'd be Winn who's gay (Winn/Superman all the way!!!).

I am so confused about the "new gay character coming out", because everything points at Maggie and Alex (and the characters do gel well together), but holy crap are the Kara/Lena interactions gay as fk. I'm hoping we might get our first bi live action superhero in Kara, but frankly I think the chances are low.

Wasn't this fairly obvious even in s1? Her thought process of liking him was (from their first meeting) basically: "oh my God he's so hot look at that bod…oh my God he's Jimmy Olsen!!! Hero worship cos he's a famous dude!!!" It was clearly built on an incredibly shallow basis, given we never really got to see her…

Honestly I feel even saying it's the "best of the Berlantiverse this year" is kind of putting it down a little (given that its competition was Arrow S4 and Flash S2 which had serious tonal and pacing issues and LoT whose entire show functions based on the idea that the characters are inherently stupid from episode to…
